What is the Church of England's Doctrine on Hell 1995com?
The Church of England has revised it's opinion on hell. Annihilation is becoming a common topic in organized religions. Annihilation is the belief that at death the sinners/unsaved will be punished and then completely destroyed making them eventually non-existant. Unfortunately, this belief is not biblically sound. Jesus talked much more about hell than He did about heaven, making it very clear that hell is a literal place and those who inhabit it will endure torture for an eternity. New church doctrine claims that after judgement all sinners will be completely consumed and detroyed.

How is the Church of England distinctive?
The Church in Britain was brought here in the months or years following the Death of Christ!
It played its part in the development of the Church by supporting most vigorously the biblical Councils of Bishop as the Magisterium as the teaching authority on matters of faith!
It is reputed to have had a member of the seventy,(Luke 10) as first Bishop to the Britons and both Orthodox and Roman scholars acknowledge the presence of at least one British Bishop at the Council of Nice!
Further, the Church in England eschews the foolish claim to be the one church, saying that she is a Communion of believers within the One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, the Body of Christ!
How did Queen Elizabeth become head of the England church?
It is her right as reigning monarch. When the Church of England was created there were major upheavals in the church. The Roman Catholic Church had already split as theOrthodox church split away, and martin Luther had already split forming the protestant movement - so called as they 'protested' against the Roman Catholic Church. These schisms were caused because the Roman Catholic Church were accused of corruption and scandal, and not without reason. Their cruel treatment of dissident groups (like the Cathars) was shameful a,d the Inquisition feared across Europe. Selling indulgences was also another corrupt practice supported by the church, and was regarded as very unchristian. Other manmade doctrines that were seen as being against Christ's own teaching helped to ensure that the split happened. It was in this atmosphere that Henry VIII upset the pope over several issues, the last straw being the pope's refusal to grant Henry an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, despite other annulments of marriages being accepted by the Vatican. The Vatican excommunicated Henry from the Church, in their belief virtually damning him to hell. This was the last straw for Henry and so he joined the bandwagon and split with Rome in the same way as the Orthodox Church and the Lutheran protestants. He declared the new protestant Church of England and, by virtue of his position as monarch (and let's not forget, at his coronation he swore that he would pay allegiance to God whatever happened) he declared that the head of the church would be Jesus Christ ( and not the pope) and he would be the supreme governor of the Church. Since then, the reigning monarch automatically takes on the title of supreme governor, so that the present one is the Queen. At her death, the next in line to the throne (Prince Charles) will take her place.
How do you go to salvation in the Anglican church?
By God's grace (free gift) of forgiveness. Like all biblical Christians, Anglicans believe (or should believe) that Jesus is Lord, that he was born for us, died for our sins, rose again and one day will return in glory as judge.
When Henry VIII became head of the Church in England was the Church still Catholic?
A:
At this stage King Henry VIII did not really intend a clean break with the Church in Rome. He merely wanted to limit the power of the pope to make decisions regarding the Church in England. The unrestricted powers that the pope is regarded as holding today were not yet formalised, and there were precedents that Henry might have relied on, particularly the occasional right of kings to appoint bishops. Subsequent events, including Henry's excommunication, meant that his Church could no longer be considered part of the Roman Catholic Church.

Catholic AnswerBe definition, the Catholic Church (in the Nicene Creed) is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. It must be one as it is Christ's Body (see Acts 9:1-5, 1 Cor 12:12-14). Thus its head is Jesus Christ, Himself, who is represented visibly in His Church by His Vicar, the Pope. The Church of England, like every other protestant church is a new creation that was formed by Henry VIII in the 16th century as a complete break from the Church that Jesus Christ founded. It wasn't until centuries later, that some Anglicans, in realizing what they had lost when they separated from the Church, sought to re-establish the apostolic ministry, and the Catholic trappings of their faith. They were not successful except in the most external manner. This has been definitely defined by the Pope, the Church of England in no way is Catholic.How did surfing change through out the years?
Surfing has changed in the following ways: The boards have gotten a lot smaller and lighter. When surfing originated in hawaii, the boards were big and bulky e.g 10 foot+ longboards. The materials used in the boards. Nowadays, boards are made of plastic, fibreglass and high density foam. Opposed to chunky wooden longboards. Due to the changes in the boards, surfing has become faster and the waves ridden are now bigger. The moves attempted are more daring and the overall sport is more competitive. There are professional surfers now, compared to when surfing was just a hobby, a pastime and a way to relax. Surfing is still progressing, with new waxes being developed, and new moves being tested. I recommend surfing to everyone. Its a great way to get fit and relaxxxx.
How does an Episcopalian view the Virgin Mary?
An episcopalian, being an Anglican, adheres to the 39 Articles of faith as set down when the Church of England (the original Anglican Church) was formed in the 1500s. In Article 22 it states: "The Romish Doctrine concerning Purgatory, Pardons, Worshipping and Adoration, as well of Images as of Relics, and also Invocation of Saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God." In other words, praying to saints is a real no-no. Although there are some within the Anglican Church who still think in the old 'Catholic' way, the vast majority of the Anglican Church regards Mary as worthy of some respect, but refuses to believe in her as some form of intercessor or 'go-between' in prayer as the Catholics do, as praying to saints is forbidden by this article. Furthermore, whilst in the more Catholic wing of the Anglican Church you may still find the occasional statue of Mary, and small chapels within churches dedicated to her, most of these are relics from before the Anglican church was formed. And in no way would an Anglican venerate (or is it almost worship?) Mary in the same way as a Roman Catholic would.
Was Christianity the format of the US?
Although most of the founders were of one Christian denomination or another, the important idea was that all people could worship their God as they desired without interference from the government.
What are the political reasons for Henry VIII becoming head of the Church?
However, Henry believed he needed a son to ensure the succession to the crown, as there was no strong precedent for female successors. He knew that the Church's rules on annulment were somewhat elastic and so petitioned Pope Clement VII for an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. His grounds would be that her prior marriage with his brother had been consummated and therefore her marriage with Henry was technically incestuous. Clement desperately wanted to please Henry but vacillated for too long. When Pope Clement had unsuccessfully engaged the armies of Emperor Charles in battle, he was no longer a free agent and realised that as Catherine was the aunt of the emperor he could do no other than to refuse the annulment. Henry, in turn, broke ties with the pope and ordered the English bishops to annul his marriage.

Henry VIII formed a breakaway Church, with himself as titular head.
When did Henry viii break with the catholic church of Rome?
The Act of Supremacy, which set up Henry VIII as head of the English church, was enacted in 1534. Henry broke away from the Church of Rome because he went to the Pope to ask for a divorce from his first wife Catherine but the Pope would not perform the procedure. As a result Henry left and set himself up as head of the church in England.
What is the dollar sign on a church?
Never saw that one before since christ was not about money. Money is a thing of this world it has no value to God.
Can you be Anglican and a Jehovah's Witness?
No.
Jehovah's Witnesses do not engage in inter-faith, meaning that if one is a JW, they will not be belonging or supporting any other religion, including Anglican.
There are several scriptural principles that come into play, all stressing that christians are to be in unity, and "oneness" with God, and that there is not to be among God's people any who mix with what we consider to be false religion.(2 Corinthians 6:17; Ephesians 4:13) Since Jehovah's Witnesses strongly believe that their's is the true faith, that would rule out belonging to any other faith.
Answer from an AnglicanNo you cannot. There is quite a simple reason why you cannot be a Jehovah's Witness and an Anglican. Anglicanism is a denomination in the worldwide Christian Church (including the Roman Catholics, Orthodox, Methodists, Baptists and so on), and as such accepts that Jesus is Lord and Saviour, is part of a Trinitarian Godhead, and is to be worshipped as God the Son, as did his followers in the time he was on earth, and as billions have done over the last 2000 years. Whichever Christian denomination you are, and that includes Anglicanism, if you are a member of the orthodox Christian Church then you need to accept this most basic doctrine, as laid down in Genesis, John 1, the end of Matthew's Gospel and in countless other places in the Bible and the teachings of the earliest followers of Christ and their own disciples.In the Jehovah's Witness movement, they do not accept the divinity of Christ, regard the Trinity as the work of the devil, and other 'religions', including the whole of the Christian Church, as in league with Satan. Therefore, you cannot be an Anglican who accepts the divinity of Christ it AND a JW who denies it. You cannot be part of the worldwide Christian Church AND a member of an organisation who believes that it is the work of the devil. As Christ himself said - "You are either for me, or against me...You cannot serve two masters".
By whom is the church of England governed?
The head of the Church of England is the current English monarch.
How did Hendry gain support his Anglican Church?
I take it you mean Henry as in 8?
Henry didn't need to gain to much support for the Church in England, for most people it was ,'their,' Church. All he had to do was keep it on the right lines and not deviate from the faith or make additions to it!
While some people did fall away, on the whole, after all the misuse and neglect over the three hundred years the people of England stayed wonderfully loyal to the ancient Church.
Is Canon William S. Brace an Episcopal priest in SE Florida?
He was. Canon Brace was (I believe) the longest serving rector of all Saints' Episcopal Church in Fort Lauderdale, 1962 - 1981. He remained in residence at all Saints after he retired for nearly twenty more years until he and his wife moved to the Jacksonville area.
Why did the Anglicans separate from the Roman Catholics?
Henry VIII was wed to Catherine of Aragon (relative of the Spanish King). She could not produce him a male heir so he wanted to divorce her. The Pope would not permit it so Henry decalred himself head of the church (which became the Anglican Church) and executed those Catholics who resisted.
What are the prayer book of Anglican church?
First, Anglican is not a religion, it is a denomination (like Catholic, Protestant, Methodist, Etc.) of the Christian faith and as such they hold the Holy Bible to be the inspired word of God. In the Anglican's case, as in all "protestant" denominations, many members use the King James version since King James was an Anglican (Anglican means English - derived from the term "angloland" turned into England), and he commissioned the Bible that bears his name to be translated from the original languages. However, many churches (Catholic and protestant) use other equally valid translations of the Holy Bible (such as the New International Version, the Revised Standard Version, the Good News Bible and so on, and the Jerusalem Bible that is favoured by Catholics) and many Christians use a selection of Bible translations as only by studying the Bible and its translations in many forms can one really grasp the nuances of scripture, and what some words actually mean, without having to be expert in the original Greek of the New Testament and the Hebrew of the Old. By studying the subtle differences in words between translations, a better understanding of what the meaning underneath the passage often comes to light. However, whatever translation is used, the Holy Bible is seen by Christians as the inspired Word of God. Yes, it was written by a motley crew of writers - shepherds, fishermen, doctors, kings, tent-makers and even a despised tax collector - but the one thread that runs through it is the inspiration of God behind the words. This is what singles out Christianity (and Anglicanism as part of that Christian Church) from sects like Mormonism and Christian Science. In the latter two the Book of Mormon, and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy take precedence over the Bible as divinely inspired writings, whilst in the Christian Church the scriptures stand alone as sufficient for salvation and as an understanding of how God has revealed himself to us throughout history.
