What jesus taught about manifesting abundanceCHIRAGCHAUHAN72
The 15-Minute Manifestation program is the brainchild of personal development coach, Eddie Sergey. It consists of three 15-minute audio meditation tracks. People can use the tracks to help manifest positive changes in their lives, including wealth, health, love, and happiness.
This class will examine the ways we can know who Jesus is by discussing the Doctrine of the Bible & Revelation. It will further develop the concepts of the origin of our mission and praxis as disciples of Jesus by looking at Jesus (Christology), His Mission/Our Mission (Missiology), & How this mission can be accomplished (Ecclesiology).
This is a collection of some of the best writings on the role of the Holy Spirit in illuminating the Holy Scriptures to believers. He shines a light where there is darkness, and this is a special gift to those who become teachers of others.

JOHN MAXWELL, “In Hebrews, chapter 2, the writer does a better job than any other New Testament writer in helping us to understand why God became flesh. He does a better job than anyone else helping us to understand the humanity of Christ. And in chapter 2, he talks about the
fact that you and I, fallen mankind, needed a bridge or a mediator between ourselves and a holy, righteous God. And so, therefore, to help them to understand, help the Jewish people to understand what was needed, he refers to Christ continually as the high priest. ow, they immediately knew when he talked about high priest, every Jewish mind quickly grasped what that meant. Because they knew what a high priest was. They had them.
Introduction
In the Name of God, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.
Praise be to God, blessing and peace be upon our sir Mohammed, the chosen prophet, his family, his companions and all his lovers.
After answering the questions of our non-Muslim brothers who want to know more about Islam, they were published in our book: Questions of Non-Muslims. As people who asked those questions were non-Muslims, they had some suspicions about Islam as a religion, the personality of prophet Mohammed and things happened during his lifetime, the book of Islam which is Qur'an and some legislations ordered by Islam. All this needed rational evidences to persuade people who asked such questions.
There were also some questions about the existence of God and they sought evidences and proofs for the existence of God.
We answered those questions and others in a modern way depending on logic, rational and scientific evidences.
Then we had lots of other questions on our site from non-Muslims in Arabic and other languages too.
We translated those questions, put aside those questions we answered before in our book: Questions of Non-Muslims, then we answered these questions following the same previous method depending on logic, rational and scientific evidences. We hope people who asked them find them persuading, leading and guiding to the right path.
As we see the people who asked these questions are not obstinate and not willing to offend Islam, they only want to be sure of things in their minds and dispel suspicions, so we called it:
Dialogues of modern man
I beg God to make people who read it knowledgeable after ignorance and guided after misguidance.
I beg God to make certainty stronger in the hearts of Muslims and dispel suspicions and illusions from the hearts of hesitant people.
I also beg Him to make it a light guiding the hearts of confused and those who are thirsty for truthful knowledge among all people.
May the blessing and peace of God be upon our sir Mohammed, his family and his companions.

The book then discusses the life story of Prophet Jesus, the Son of Mary, Peace be upon both of them. It starts with the time before he was born, till He was ascended to Heaven by Almighty Allah.
If the Jewish,Christians,Muslims and Hindus are acted in good Faith to achieve peace,unity,health,wealth,faith,interfaith,disasters and stopping of terrorism,they ought to have seen the messages and Research paper posted at http://www.goldenduas.com for the following reasons an the basis of Quran verses,Luke,Exodus , Psalms and also Deut as follows
Acts 10:38 About Jesus of Nazareth, how God gave the Holy Spirit to him, with power: and how he went about doing good and making well all who were troubled by evil spirits, for God was with him.
Psalms 19:7 The law of the Lord is good, giving new life to the soul: the witness of the Lord is certain, giving wisdom to the foolish.
19:8 The orders of the Lord are right, making glad the heart: the rule of the Lord is holy, giving light to the eyes.
19:9 The fear of the Lord is clean, and has no end; the decisions of the Lord are true and full of righteousness.
19:10 More to be desired are they than gold, even than much shining gold; sweeter than the dropping honey.
19:11 By them is your servant made conscious of danger, and in keeping them there is great reward.
4:83 When there comes to them some matter touching (public) safety or fear, they make it known (among the people), if only they had referred it to the Messenger or to those charged with authority among them, the proper investigators would have understood it from them (directly). Had it not been for the Grace and Mercy of Allah upon you, you would have followed Shaitan (Satan), save a few of you.
5:49 And so judge (you O Muhammad ) between them by what Allah has revealed and follow not their vain desires, but beware of them lest they turn you (O Muhammad ) far away from some of that which Allah has sent down to you. And if they turn away, then know that Allah's Will is to punish them for some sins of theirs. And truly, most of men are Fasiqun (rebellious and disobedient to Allah).
17:16 And when We decide to destroy a town (population), We (first) send a definite order (to obey Allah and be righteous) to those among them [or We (first) increase in number those of its population] who are given the good things of this life. Then, they transgress therein, and thus the word (of torment) is justified against it (them). Then We destroy it with complete destruction.
28:59 And never will your Lord destroy the towns (populations) until He sends to their mother town a Messenger reciting to them Our Verses. And never would We destroy the towns unless the people thereof are Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, oppressors and tyrants).
Luke 21:11 There will be great earth-shocks and outbursts of disease in a number of places, and men will be without food; and there will be wonders and great signs from heaven
Exodus 19:16 And when morning came on the third day, there were thunders and flames and a thick cloud on the mountain, and a horn sounding very loud; and all the people in the tents were shaking with fear.
Main objective is to prevent Mischief & to bring people together showing striking similarities in Religion. As there are many recently created Hate Sites and Mischief Situations a part of the site is to bring some aspect of history so that Reason & Tolerance prevail throughout Society. It is possible that some information may not be ideally stated as we are amertures and expressly state no hurt is intended. We deeply regret such situation and we are profusely sorry to those who are hurt. In the same good faith, we will also accept any suggestions to make it a Honorable, Truthful & Informative site to those who intend to Embrace each other in Peace.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. (Of all Lord Buddha's disciples, Sariputta
Thero was best able to understand and explain
the Dharma, and in this way he was only second
to Lord Buddha himself. Once Lord Buddha
said to him: "You are wise, Sariputta, great and
wide is your wisdom, joyful and quick is your
wisdom, sharp and analytical is your wisdom.
Just as the eldest son of a Universal Monarch
rules rightly as his father did, even so do you
turn the wheel of the Dharma just as I have." [
N3 ] Such regard did Lord Buddha have for
Sariputta Thero that he gave him the title
General of the Dharma (Dharmasenapati).
4. A Clue for Open Minded
Teaching and Learning
How to Teach- a discourse by Sāriputta Thero preserved in the
Tipiṭak- Buddhism
When one teaches another he should first establish five things
within himself and then teach.
Let him think:
1.I will speak at the right time, not at the wrong time.
2.I will speak about what is, not about what is not.
3.I will speak with gentleness, not harshness.
4.I will speak about the goal, not about what is not the goal.
5.I will speak with a mind filled with love, not with a mind
filled with ill-will.
First establish these five things and then teach another.'
(A.III,195).
01
5. The Three Characteristics and the Uncreate-in the
words of Lord Buddha
A Monk had difficulty in understanding the Sermon about
Nirvana and The Uncreate and he asked:
“May I be permitted to ask a question?"When permission
was granted he spoke as follows: [6]
"The Buddha teaches that all conformations are transient,
that all conformations are subject to sorrow, that all
conformations and lacking a self. How then can there be
Nirvana, a state of eternal bliss?"[7]
And the Blessed One, in this connection, on that occasion,
breathed forth this solemn utterance: [8]
"There is, O monks, a state where there is neither earth, nor
water, nor heat, nor air; neither infinity of space nor infinity
of consciousness, nor nothingness, nor perception nor non-
perception;neither this world nor that world, neither sun
nor moon. It is the uncreate. [9]
02
6. "That, O monks,
I term neither coming nor going nor standing;
neither death nor birth.
It is without stability, without change;
it is the eternal which never originates ,and never passes
away.
There is the end of sorrow. [10]
"It is hard to realize the essential,
the truth is not easily perceived;
desire is mastered by him who knows,
and to him who sees aright all things are naught. [11]
"There is, O monks,
an unborn, unoriginated, uncreated, unformed.**
Were there not, O monks, this unborn, unoriginated,
uncreated, unformed, there would be no escape from the
world of the born, originated, created, formed. [12]
03
7. "Since, O monks, there is an unborn, unoriginated,
uncreated, and unformed, therefore is there an escape
from the born, originated, created, formed." [13] Ch26
** This could be understood as the Uncreate as in the
Quran Ch113 V1-4 (substitute the word Allah with
Uncreate) Allah is an Arabic word for the Uncreate, and has
far more attributes than I have presently understood from
Lord Buddha's Teachings .
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
And there is none like unto Him.
!!!!!!!!!!Almost the same

8. The Praise of All the Buddhas
## All the Buddhas are wonderful and glorious. There is not
their equal upon earth. They reveal to us the path of life.
And we hail their appearance with pious reverence. [1]
All the Buddhas teach the same truth. They point out the
path to those who go astray. *The truth is our hope and
comfort. We gratefully accept its illumitable light. [2]
# All the Buddhas are one in essence,
** Which is omnipresent in all modes of being,
Sanctifying the bonds that tie all souls together,
* And we rest in its bliss as our final refuge.
[3] End Chapter 100 and The End
From the above it is very clear many Buddhas would
come, all will teach the same message, and help mankind to
the right path. Please note that this is exactly what the
Quran says: "The Messenger believes in what has been
revealed to him from his Lord, as do the men of faith
05
9. #. Each one of them believes in God, His angels, His books,
and His Messengers.
They say: 'We make no distinction between one and
another of His Messengers.
And they say: 'We hear, and we obey.
We seek Thy forgiveness, Our Lord, and to Thee is the end
of all journeys.'" (Al-Baqarah, 2:285)
##"And for every Ummah (a community or a nation),
there is a Messenger; when their Messenger comes, the
matter will be judged between them with justice, and they will
not be wronged." (Qur'an 10:47)
**The Prophet Muhammad said, "No babe is born but upon
Fitra (belief in the UNCREATED). It is his parents who make
him a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist." (Sahih Muslim, Book
033, Number 6426)

The Last Buddha, and how to Identify
And Ananda Thero, suppressing his tears, said to the Blessed
One: "Who shall teach us when thou art gone?"[12]
07
11. And the Blessed One replied:
"I am not the first Buddha who came upon earth,
nor shall I be the last.
In due time another Buddha will arise in the world,
a Holy One, a supremely enlightened One,
endowed with wisdom in conduct,
auspicious, knowing the universe,
an incomparable leader of men,
a master of angels and mortals.
He will reveal to you the same eternal truths
which I have taught you.
He will preach his religion,
glorious in its origin,
glorious at the climax,
and glorious at the goal,
in the spirit and in the letter.
He will proclaim a religous life,
wholly perfect and pure;
such as I now proclaim."[13]
Ananda Thero said: "How shall we know him?"[14]
The Blessed One said:
"He will be known as Metteyya,
08
12. which means 'he whose name is kindness.'" [15] End Chapter 96
This is very interesting in that it gives definitive clues:
1.This should be the last Buddha, as he mentions of other
Buddhas before and after.
2. An incomparable leader of men
3. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at the
climax, and glorious at the goal, in the spirit and in the letter.
4. He will be known as Metteyya,
*Prophet Mohamed (pbuh) as per Quran is the last
Messenger(Prophet)
*It is the youngest Religion, yet the FASTEST growing Reliogion
(as per Readers Digest)
*Those who practice far outnumber other Religions and follow in
Spirit and Letter
*Preaching the Eternal Truth, and Brotherhood

Sermon to Understand better( we are asked to inform others even
if we know even one thing!).
