| + | {{clear}} |
| | | | |
| − | There are a number of parallels between the growth of the early Christian Church and the development of the the Seventh-day Adventist Church. These include:
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | | |
| − | 1. While the Christian Church developed out of the Jewish faith as a logical extension of the older religion, the early Adventists initially came out of various established Christian churches. The Millerites were nearly all Christians already, as the earliest Christians were nearly all Jews (born or converts) already.
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | | |
| − | 2. Many of the early Adventist ministers and leaders had served in other Christian churches before becoming Adventist Christians. Acts 6:7 tells us "a large number of priests became obedient to the faith."
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | | |
| − | 3. Christians worshipped in Jewish synagogues and the temple until they either were forced out by Jews who rejected Jesus or chose to leave because they were unwelcome. Adventists worshiped within existing churches until they were disfellowshipped or otherwise made to feel unwelcome. For example, as a teenager Ellen G Harman (later White), her family and others were disfellowshipped from the Portland (Maine) Methodist Church for believing in the teachings of William Miller prior to 1844.
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | | |
| − | 4. After a period of focus on Jews, the early Christians turned to evangelizing the Gentiles (those without a Jewish belief system). Adventists started within existing Christian groups but quite early on Adventists were sending missionaries to non-Christian lands.
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | | |
| − | 5. Early Christians struggled with cross cultural issues {{Bible link| Acts 15}} as did Adventists as members joined from around the world.
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | | |
| − | 6. Christians quickly spread out across the known world, deliberately sending missionaries to new regions. Acts mentions believers and churches from modern Spain, Ethiopia, Libya, Italy, Greece, up into Macedonia, Turkey, and even suggests Arabia. Outside the Bible there is a strong tradition that early Christianity spread even further. The disciple Thomas is credited with establishing churches as far away as Southern India. Adventists, from a base in New England, New York and Michigan quickly spread across North America while sending missionaries to the ends of the earth by 1950. Today Adventists can be found in nearly every country and territory in the world, and it is much easier to [http://www.infobarrel.com/Where_Seventh-day_Adventists_Are_Not note the exceptions], mainly very low population places (Falkland Islands, Tokelau), constant war zones (Afghanistan, Somalia) and a handful of places with tight control on religion (Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Bhutan). Even some of the places without an Adventist church have active missionaries working there, so the list continues to shrink.
| + | {{clear}} |
| | | | |
| − | 7. Sacrificial giving was reported in Acts and in the Adventist Church. Barnabas sold a field he owned, and other Christians also sold real estate. Adventists followed the example of early Christians in this area too. For example, in 1850 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiram_Edson Hiram Edson] sold his Port Gibson, NY farm to help support the Sabbatarian movement, and sold a second farm two years later in Port Byron, NY so that James White could purchase a printing press in Rochester.

| − | Substance abuse / [[Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Outreach/Temperance| temperance]] is a topic well covered within the Pathfinder program, so perhaps fulfilling this requirement should focus on other types of abuse. Adventist Church owned presses have started to put out some good material on dealing with relationship, physical and [http://www.adventistbookcenter.com/understanding-sexual-abuse.html sexual abuse], subjects too long ignored and suppressed in the the church.

| | | | |
| − | What you fill your mind with is what you will become. Violent content, obscene language, and sexual content are not what a Christian should be watching. Violence and sex are parts of life (the Bible contains much violence for example) but glorifying violence and sex for our own entertainment was not God's plan for us. Pathfinders will quickly agree that violent content should be avoided, but is there a place for violence in film?

| − | A wildly popular, but hugely controversial movie [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySknA_zoKoQ The Passion of the Christ] by Mel Gibson would be worth talking about. (The link goes to the crucifixion scene - watch it with the group) Much of the dialog in the movie is direct Bible quotations, yet the violence shown in the film is far beyond the typical Hollywood shoot-em-up movie. While The Passion is controversial, it helps viewers understand how great a sacrifice Christ made for us.

| − | Some Pathfinders may jump to condemning fiction and fantasy works completely. Ellen White condemned fiction many times, but we need to understand how she ''defined'' fiction before we impose our modern understanding of the word on her negative statements. She used the term ''fiction'' to apply to works with the following characteristics:

Técnicas
Hay varias maneras de memorizar las Escrituras.
- Borrar las palabras
- Escriba el versículo de la Biblia en un pizarrón y haga que cada persona la lea en voz alta juntos. Luego, borre una palabra y pídales que lo lean de nuevo, todavía diciendo la palabra borrada. Continúe borrando palabras y leyendo el versículo en voz alta hasta que todas las palabras estén borradas. En este punto, toda la clase se debe tener memorizado el versículo.
- Escribir el versículo a mano
- Escribir los versículos varias veces hasta que pueda hacerlo de memoria.
- En canción
- Se ha hecho música con muchos pasajes de las Escrituras. Memorizar la letra de una canción es mucho más fácil que memorizar a la fuerza y durará poraños. Si el versículo que está tratando de memorizar ya se ha puesto a música, cambie a la versión del texto que coincida con la canción. Si no se ha puesto a música, haga su propia melodía. Explore diferentes traducciones del texto para ver cuál se presta mejor a su canción.
- Decirlo en voz alta
- Escuchar y decir el versículo lo reforzará mucho más que simplemente leerlo en silencio.
- Decirlo con ritmo
- Esto es similar al método de «canción» descrito arriba, pero usualmente es más fácil crear un ritmo en vez de una melodía entera. Puede aplaudir y pisar los pies en varios lugares del versículo si eso ayuda. Conviértalo en un juego de palmas y apréndalo con un amigo.
- Añadir acción
- ¿Cuántas canciones conoce que son acompañadas por movimientos? Si está incluyendo palmadas y pisando los pies, ayudará aún más si agrega otras acciones, como lanzando una línea de pesca o trazar un corazón en el aire.
- Hacer un pictograma
- Un jeroglífico utiliza imágenes para representar palabras o partes de palabras. Por ejemplo, la palabra «sol» se representa con una gráfica de un sol.
- Encontrar estructura en el versículo
- Escriba el versículo de manera que sobresale la estructura. Recuerde que la poesía hebrea repite una idea con otras palabras. ¡Alíneelos! También se encuentra estructura en los versículos del Nuevo Testamento. Por ejemplo, 1 Juan 2:3 podría escribirse así:
En esto
sabemos que nosotros
lo conocemos,
si guardamos
sus mandamientos.
- Este método alinea las palabras conjugados a nostros y ayuda la mente organizar el versículo más efectivamente.
- Utilice un creador de acertijos por internet
- para crear actividades realizadas por escrito de las Escrituras como:
- Crucigramas
- Llenar los espacios en blanco/letras que faltan
- Ahorcado
- Sopa de letras
- Pisarlo
- Imprima cada palabra de un pasaje en un papel, una palabra por página en letra grande. Coloque el papel en el suelo y pise sobre cada página mientras dice el texto. Elimine palabras de vez en cuando.
- Bloqueo mental
- Escriba cada palabra de un pasaje en bloques de madera, una palabra por bloque. Mezcle los bloques y ponga el texto en el orden correcto. ¡Dos juegos de bloques de un mismo versículo hace para un juego emocionante!

Requisito 3
|
|
Dramatizar la experiencia de un personaje de la iglesia cristiana del primer siglo mencionado en el libro de los Hechos.
|
La dramatización es cuando uno pretende como si fuera una persona determinada. Es similar a una actuación, excepto que es sin guión. Se podría pensar como si fuera una versión de un «programa de la realidad». Los dramatizadores deben ser asignados un papel y luego el facilitador determinará el escenario. Después, los dramatizadores toman el control y actúan como ellos piensen que la persona que están dramatizando actuaría. El facilitador puede también tomar un papel para que el grupo se pueda mantener enfocado sin sacarlos de la experiencia.
Antes de comenzar, se debe explicar a los Conquistadores que deben actuar como ellos piensan que la persona que están dramatizando se comportaría. Esto se tiene que enfatizar especialmente a los que se les asigna el papel de un antagonista (como un fariseo o un filisteo). La tendencia natural es que el Conquistador cambie el resultado para «convertir al pecador». Puede tratar de asignar los papeles de «el malo» a sus Conquistadores más salientes y la asignación de los papeles «héroes» a los miembros más introspectivos de su grupo.
Seleccione una escena que se ajuste al número de Conquistadores involucrados para que todos puedan participar. Si está haciendo esto para una audiencia, los puede utilizar como «multitud» (si se necesita) en lugar de asignar a varios niños a este papel. Si se ignora este consejo, es casi seguro que resultará en la participación baja y una experiencia poco satisfactoria para los dramatizadores que son asignados como «multitud». Si su grupo es demasiado grande como para evitar el problema de la «multitud», divídalos en grupos más pequeños y asígneles distintas «escenas» para dramatizar.
