Many believers are under the oppression of false apostles and seek
fellowship in counterfeit churches. But they have been so blinded
and brainwashed that they can hardly recognize their need for
serious help. This book pinpoints the distinguishing
characteristics of both true and false churches. It provides
lessons that are extremely needed today, when all sorts of abuses
and oppressive teachings have gained a foothold as false apostles
take control of the airwaves. To achieve this, the book exposes the
errors in interpretation and in the thinking about God's nature
that lead people to false churches. It then offers believers the
way forward. While many writers who have diagnosed the same
problems in the church have prescribed a return to the early church
model, "The Nature of the Apostolic Church" shows that this
solution is defective as the first century church was itself
imperfect. The solution, the book explains, lies in fixing the eyes
of the church on Jesus and Him alone, thus moving the Body of
Christ beyond restoration and into perfection. That is the church
that Christ desires, one without any spot or blemish.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1919 Edition.
The following is the first collection of the WPA Papers that deal
with Islam and Black Nationalism. These papers primarily deal with
Chicago and were written under the auspices of the Black Historical
& Benevolent Society called the Julius Rosenwald Fund. This
fund was under the direction of the Illinois Writer's Project.
Writer such as Arthur Huff Fauset, Jessie Fauset, Richard Wright,
Zora Neal Hurston, Lillian Harper, and Arna Bontemps had poetry,
sociological studies, and short stories written under direction of
the IWP. Julius Rosenwald was a Jewish philanthropist that set up a
fund before his death to give scholarships to blacks for school and
to pay to collect materials on Black history and culture. The
butler of Rosenwald went on to become a precinct captain and later
a leader in the Moorish Science Temple. All the groups covered in
these studies had connections with each other. Elijah Muhammad
called Marcus Garvey and Noble Drew Ali "fine Muslims" and
encouraged their followers to follow him as he was only "completing
their mission." The studies here were done by Lillian Harper and
Arna Bontemps. An appendix gives short notes on the leaders of the
various groups and a bibliography gives books and articles to lead
researchers to more material.
