Overview of the distinctiveness of the Roman Catholic tradition.
Discussion of Jesus of Nazareth in his historical context as well as the central claims that the New Testament makes about him.
Survey of early Christian beliefs about Jesus that would eventually lead to the development of the doctrine of the Trinity.
There are numerous churches in the land. Can they all be right when they have different teachings and practices? They have different names and organizations too. Does Jesus approve of them all? If so, is He a hypocrite for approving contradictory teachings and practices? He would have to be.
Where did all the churches come from? They did not all come from the Bible because the Bible teaches unity (1 Cor. 1:10). They had to start somewhere; they started from men. And, it is worth noting they are not all headed to the same place (Matt. 7:21-23). Men can be religious, but wrong. Even though they are not all going to the same place, they are all going somewhere.

chapter 14
Unity, Freedom, and Christ’s Return
Paul’s Letters to Thessalonica and Corinth
The time we live in will not last long. . . . For the whole frame
of this world is passing away. 1 Corinthians 7:29, 31
Paul’s early letters are dominated by his escha-
tology. Convinced that the Messiah’s death and
resurrection have inaugurated End time, Paul
strives to achieve several related goals. Traveling
from city to city, he establishes small cells of be-
lievers whom he calls to a “new life in Christ.” He
argues that Jesus’ crucifi xion has brought free-
dom from both Torah observance and the power
of sin, and he emphasizes the necessity of
leading an ethically pure life while awaiting
Christ’s return. In his letters to the young Greek
churches at Thessalonica and Corinth, Paul un-
derscores the nearness of the Parousia —the
Second Coming—an event that he believes to
be imminent. Much of Paul’s advice to these
congregations is based on his desire that they
achieve unity and purity before Christ reappears.
While he is attempting to keep believers
faithful to the high ideals of Christian practice,
Paul also fi nds himself battling opponents who
question the correctness of his teaching and/or
his apostolic authority. According to Luke, an
apostle was one whom Jesus had personally
called to follow him and who had witnessed the
Resurrection (Acts 1:21–22). Not only had Paul
not known the earthly Jesus; he had cruelly
Key Topics/Themes The dominant theme of
Paul’s letters to Thessalonica and Corinth is that
the eschaton is near: Paul expects to witness
Jesus’ return and the resurrection of the dead in
his lifetime (1 Thess . 4:13–18). However, believers
must not waste time speculating about the
projected date of the Parousia (1 Thess . 5:1–3).
Paul’s letters to Corinth are aimed at
healing serious divisions in the newly founded
church there. Paul urges members to give up
their destructive competitiveness and work
toward unity of belief and purpose. Their
cooperation is essential because the remaining
time is so short. His most important topics
include (1) differences between human and
divinely revealed wisdom (1:10–3:23), (2)
Christian ethics and responsibilities (5:1–11:1),
(3) behavior at the communion meal (11:17–34),
valuing gifts of the Spirit ( chs . 12–14), and
(4) the resurrection of the dead ( ch . 15).
A composite work composed of several
letters or letter fragments, 2 Corinthians
shows Paul defending his apostolic authority
(2 Cor . 10–13); chapters 1–9, apparently written
after chapters 10–13, describe his reconciliation
with the church at Corinth.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
