The rise of many modern cults (Mormonism, Christadelphians, etc.) came out of this19th century Campbellite religious movement. This particular episode has a Campbellite preacher declaring that "no reputable translation of the Bible would translate Acts 2:38 with the words 'because of.'" Greek Bible scholars & translations would beg to differ with the self confident "Church of Christ" preacher whose interpretation of Acts 2:38 comes from Alexander Campbell.

10.02 min. | 3.0 user rating		 by Amber Fiene through Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell II, opensourcebuddhism.org. Wow! I have to say I find this one the MOST interesting of all the crop! My father knew Jim Jones, believe it or not, in Indianapolis. Shook his hand on several occasions and my father just loved Jim Jones! My minister father (Christian Church, Disciples of Christ) was a big fan of Jones socialism and integration. Dads view was that California mad him mad with power, instead of being the loving feeder, houser and empowerer of the poor, he seems to have become a mini-communist dictator! I never saw that so clearly about him as I did from you numerous quotes and well-researched sources. Unlike most of these, this project is really an investigative report about the one of the most crazed events in all religious history. I think in the end it was a bit like the Jewish mass suicide at Masada: total paranoia about the enemy, in both cases Roman the big capitalist empires want to enslave the free communists, if that makes sense. I just was riveted at all the pictures you compiled. Very thorough and transitions and creepy music at the end excellent. Rarely do I suggest to someone they could be a video editor for a living, but you might consider it Amber. I couldnt do it myself. So thanks for shedding a great deal of light on what was a big event in my early adulthood. Trying to understand it was tough then. I think I get it much more clearly thanks to you!
