Violation of the principle of impartiality can result in the severest
condemnation. Jesus’ half brother Jude describes men who are “murmurers, complainers about their lot in life,
proceeding according to their own desires, and their mouths speak swelling
things, while they are admiring personalities for the sake of their
own benefit.” (Jude 16) These men are called “the ones that make separations,
animalistic men, not having spirituality.” (Jude 19) Such ones may sway
others by their swelling words and their admiration of personalities, like
the ones Paul describes who “slyly work their way into households and lead as
their captives weak women loaded Also below--is CROSSplusMore.htm--- ChristmasPLUS.htm |

Eusebius
of Caesarea (~275 – May 30, 339) (often called Eusebius
Pamphili, "Eusebius [the friend] of Pamphilus") was a bishop of Caesarea in Palestine and is
often referred to as the father of church history because of his work in
recording the history of the early Christian
church. An earlier history by Hegesippus
that he referred to has not survived. Eusebius describes in
his Life of Constantine (To Open Click) [1] (http://www.ccel.org/fathers2/NPNF2-01/Npnf2-01-29.htm#P7646_3165242)
how the site of the Holy Sepulchre,
originally a site of veneration for the Christian community in Jerusalem,
had been covered with earth and a temple of Venus had been built on top.
(Although Eusebius does not say as much, this would probably have been done
as part of Hadrian's
reconstruction of Jerusalem as Aelia Capitolina in 135,
following the destruction of the Jewish
Revolt of 70
and Bar Kokhba's revolt
of 132-135.)
Following his conversion to Christianity, Emperor Constantine ordered in
about 325/326 that the
site be uncovered and instructed Saint Macarius, Bishop
of Jerusalem, to build a church on the site. In
this Life, Eusebius does not
mention the finding of the True Cross. Open full article –For Study and Comparison—From Open http://www.wordiq.com/definition/True_Cross#Finding_the_True_Cross#Finding_the_True_Cross |

Incidents leading up to the Finding of the Holy Cross are
not all that edifying, in fact very shocking.
Shortly after the Council of Nicaea Constantine returned to
The general area of Christ's death and resurrection had
already been deter mined, safely concealed under a pavilion supporting a pagan
temple which Hadrian had deliberately erected over the sacred spot in order to
smother all Christian sentiments. Bishop Macarius of
Helena was very wealthy in her own right, and Constantine put his murdered
wife's estate, together with resources from the Empire at Helena's disposal,
and on arriving in Jerusalem she commissioned a team of priests and
archeologists (such as they were in those days) to find the exact spots.
As Eusebius tells us, hundreds were employed in the "dig".
Buildings, temples and terraces were torn down, and several tons of dirt
removed, till after some weeks the limestone hill of Calvary was exposed. The
workers continued to chop away to separate this holy hill from surrounding
rock, when suddenly in a ditch three crosses were discovered. It was like a
miracle. Bishop Macarius prayed, "Make known to us,
O Lord, which of these three crosses served for your glory".
A dying woman was brought and one by one the crosses were
touched upon her; as the third cross was place on her she suddenly rose from
the stretcher and walked away. When Constantine heard the news he wrote a
glowing letter to Bishop Macarius, then immediately
commanded that fitting shrines be built over the site, dedicated 335, as the
pilgrim Silvia Eletheria described in 393, three
buildings: a church in honor of the passion, a shine in honor of the cross, and
a third in honor of the resurrection.
St. Helena herself commanded that the true cross be divided, one part left
in Jerusalem, one part to Constantinople (both eventually lost), and another to
Rome from which slivers were taken till now it is scattered all over the world.

Worship is (Open)
PROSKUNEO.htm in Greek
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source
Worship usually refers to specific acts of religious praise, honour, or devotion, typically
directed to a supernatural
being such as
a
god-Open http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/god#Old_English
or
goddess. It is the
informal term in English for what sociologists of religion call cultus, the body of practices and
traditions that correspond to theology.
Religious worship may be
performed individually, in informally organized groups, or as part of an
organized service with a designated leader (as in a church, synagogue, temple, or mosque). In its
older sense in the English
language of worthiness or respect (Anglo-Saxon worthscripe), worship may sometimes refer to
actions directed at members of higher social classes (such as lords or monarchs) or to
particularly esteemed persons (such as a lover).
Typical acts of worship
Typical acts of worship include:
Adoration versus veneration
Catholicism and Eastern
Orthodoxy distinguish between adoration or latria (Latin adoratio, Greek latreia,
[λατρεια])
which is due to God alone, and veneration or dulia (Latin veneratio, Greek douleia
[δουλεια]),
which may be lawfully offered to the saints. The external
acts of veneration resemble those of worship, but differ in their object and
intent. Protestant Christians question whether such a distinction is always
maintained in actual devotional practice, especially at the level of folk religion.
Orthodox Judaism and orthodox
Sunni Islam hold that for
all practical purposes veneration should be considered the same as prayer;
Orthodox Judaism (arguably with the exception of some Chasidic practices),
orthodox Sunni Islam, and most kinds of Protestantism forbid
veneration of saints or angels,
classifying these actions as akin to idolatry.
Similarly, Jehovah's
Witnesses assert that many actions classified as patriotic by other
Protestant groups, such as saluting a flag, are equivalent to worship and are
therefore considered idolatrous as well.
