Tell the truth wrote:
And they would all grow up burning heretics, as is the will of God as taught by the Reformers? Heretics were burned in the 16th century as an accepted form of justice in Europe and the UK. Therefore it was the judiciary who acting upon the current justice and punishment system of the time, sentenced people to the stake. It is therefore a lie to suggest that it emerged from any particular denominational base. This is historic fact but there are those who will twist the facts and serve Satan the father of lies. |

"The importance of the distinction between betrothal and marriage, and the transition from one to the other, cannot be overestimated. The distinction continued until well after the Reformation (A. Macfarlane, Marriage and Love in England). Up to the 16th century, the spousal or spousals "probably constituted the main part of the contract." Children born to couples conceived during betrothal would be regarded as legitimate, provided they married. According to Macfarlane, "it was really only in the middle of the 16th century that the betrothal, which constituted the 'real' marriage, was joined to the nuptials or celebration of that marriage. Consequently, during the Middle Ages and up to the 18th century it was widely held that sexual cohabitation was permitted after the betrothal." In France sexual relations regularly began with betrothal, at least until the 16th century when the post-Tridentine church moved against it.
In Britain, "Until far down into the 18th century the engaged lovers before the nuptials were held to be legally husband and wife. It was common for them to begin living together immediately after the betrothal ceremony" (Macfarlane)."

As I understand, Calvin and Knox wrote most of the marginal commentary and they weren't especially favored by the C of E or the monarchy. Knox and C. of E.
"Knox took refuge in England. The Reformation in England was a less radical movement than its Continental counterparts, but there was a definite breach with Rome. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, and the regent of King Edward VI, Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, were decidedly Protestant-minded. However, much work needed to be done to bring reformed ideas to the clergy and to the people. On 7 April 1549, Knox was licensed to work in the Church of England. His first commission was in Berwick-upon-Tweed. He was obliged to use the recently released Book of Common Prayer, which was mainly a translation of the Latin mass into English and was largely left intact and unreformed. He therefore modified its use along Protestant lines. In the pulpit he preached Protestant doctrines with great effect as his congregation grew. In England, Knox met his wife, Marjorie Bowes. Towards the end of 1550, Knox was appointed a preacher of St Nicholas' Church in Newcastle upon Tyne. The following year he was appointed one of the six royal chaplains serving the king."

That is great information. Thank you Neil.
And thank you "Historic" and "interesting" for your contributions about Jews in China.
However, I do not know if these Chinese Jews were a part of that first Pentecost in Acts 2:5.
Now does anyone want to tackle Peru or Mexico or Japan or North America in regard to Acts 2:5?
("Every nation under heaven?") Perhaps you need to look at [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora]]]The Old Testament Diaspora.[/URL] |

By the way, it is by no means certain that China should be ruled out as a place inhabited by Jews. [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_China]]]Jews in China from 7th century[/URL] |
