The early Christian church began in Jerusalem after Jesus' death and resurrection. Small groups of Jesus' followers gathered in homes to pray, study scripture, share meals, and possessions. This house church model was the genesis of the organized Christian church. The first Christian community in Jerusalem aimed to proclaim God's kingdom through demonstrating unity and equal love regardless of social status. Their practices of faith, fellowship, and service established the framework for how later Christian communities defined themselves.

Christianity
A short presentation on Christianity religion, their festivals and belief.
This presentation was prepared for Academic purpose by T.Y.B.M.S students.
Christianity
Christianity originated in the Middle East over 2,000 years ago and is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. It emphasizes beliefs such as brotherhood, charity, and peace. After Jesus's death, his followers spread the religion throughout the Roman Empire. Major Christian beliefs include that Jesus is the son of God who sacrificed himself to save humanity, and that faith in Christ will lead to salvation and eternal life in heaven. The Bible is Christianity's sacred text and churches are places of worship on Sundays. Major sects include Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant denominations.
Intro to church
The document discusses the origins and meanings of key Christian terms:
1) "Church" derives from the Greek "ekklesia" meaning assembly, used in the Septuagint to translate the Hebrew "qahal" referring to God's calling of the Israelites.
2) In the New Testament, "ekklesia" designates the early Christian community called together by Christ for prayer and the Eucharist.
3) Today, the Church is understood as the new people of God in each local community, made real in the Eucharist.
4) To be Christian means to follow Jesus Christ, Catholic means universal and all-embracing, and Roman Catholic implies
Principle Beliefs of Christianity
The document discusses several key Christian beliefs: the Trinity, the divinity and humanity of Christ, his death and resurrection, salvation, and revelation. It provides biblical passages for each belief and explains how the passages illustrate the beliefs. For example, it explains that Genesis 1:1 supports the Trinity by referring to God creating through the Word. John 3:16 is listed under both salvation and revelation to show that salvation is only through God's revelation of his Son.
Ecumenism and Interreligious Dialogue
The document discusses the Catholic Church's views on ecumenism and relations with other Christian traditions and religions. It emphasizes that:
- The Church seeks the unity of all Christians and sees other Christian traditions as imperfectly sharing in communion;
- Dialogue and cooperation with other groups can help foster greater unity based on shared values and gifts;
- While the Catholic Church professes itself as the one true Church, it acknowledges positive elements in other religions and that people of good faith in other traditions can be saved through Christ without explicit knowledge of the Church.
Biblical images of the church
1. The People of God, called by God to be a holy people who acknowledge and serve Him.
2. The Body of Christ, with members united in Christ through faith.
3. The Temple of the Holy Spirit, indwelt by God's spirit and created by the Holy Spirit.
4. The Kingdom of God, the present and growing rule of God through the Church, ushering in God's ultimate kingdom.
Christianity: Selected Issues
Christianity is a monotheistic religion based on the life of Jesus Christ. The document discusses several issues that are in conflict with Christian teachings, including ecumenism, sexuality, family and divorce, and capital punishment and euthanasia. Ecumenism refers to efforts by the Catholic Church to promote unity among Christians, while its views on sexuality and divorce tend to be more conservative. It also believes that both capital punishment and euthanasia go against the principle that life is given by God and should not be taken by humans.
Theo2 [ Church As A Sacrament And A Mystery]
Jesus is the Son of God sent to bring salvation to humanity. While fully human, he lived a sinless life and preached about the Kingdom of God. He performed miracles that showed the Kingdom was both present and something to be achieved in the future. Jesus was crucified but rose from the dead, defeating sin and death. He established the Church to continue his mission and spread the Gospel, empowering it with the Holy Spirit. The Church is both human and divine, with a visible hierarchical structure but also bearing the spiritual presence of Christ.

Power Point: Judas, Another Gospel?
The document summarizes information about the Gospel of Judas, a papyrus manuscript discovered in Egypt in the 1970s. It questions whether the Gospel of Judas is genuine based on its dating and content. While it was likely written around AD 150-170, the Gospel of Judas is considered a Gnostic rather than Christian text that depicts a bizarre cosmology and portrays Judas in a positive light for betraying Jesus. The document concludes the Gospel of Judas has no apostolic authority and does not provide new historical information about Jesus or early Christianity.
Founder of christianity
Christianity developed from Judaism in the 1st century based on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Some of Jesus' key teachings included loving others, not being a hypocrite, and that Jesus and God are one.

YLIC Chapter 2
The document discusses key concepts for making moral decisions, including prudence, discernment, moral object, intention, means, and circumstances. It recommends the STOP method for decision making: search out the facts, think about alternatives and consequences, consider others, and pray. Moral decisions should consider the true good, conform to moral norms, and weigh alternatives and consequences, especially how they affect others. Prayer and consultation are important parts of discerning moral choices.
Making decisions and sin
This document discusses making moral decisions and provides guidance on how to do so properly. It outlines several key elements to consider: [1] investigating the facts and moral elements of the decision; [2] inquiring about relevant moral norms; [3] imagining alternatives and consequences; [4] listening to emotions; and [5] implore God's help through prayer. Developing virtues like prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance can also help one make good decisions. Prayer and discernment are essential parts of the process.
Re ed40 chapter 1 morality and faith
Faith informs morality in three main ways:
1) Religious beliefs shape a person's moral imagination and gradual formation of character.
2) Faith can assist believers in discerning moral choices by helping to order values and focus on basic human values.
3) Specific Christian obligations arise from faith, like acts of worship, religious education, and teachings of Jesus.
However, faith and morality must have a critical dialogue to continuously shape each other based on lived experiences.
1. theo
The Church refers to (1) the people called by God in the Old Testament and (2) the disciples gathered by Jesus Christ in Jerusalem. The document discusses how God the Father prepared the Church by calling Abraham and the people of Israel. It also discusses how Jesus Christ prepared the Church by calling his 12 apostles and how the Holy Spirit established the Church on the day of Pentecost.
Jesusis the Ultimate Moral Norm
Christian morality is based on following Jesus and involves maintaining a relationship with God, keeping the commandments, and imitating Christ. Human acts can be morally evaluated based on three elements - the object, intention, and circumstances. Some acts are intrinsically evil due to their object, such as murder, and can never be justified. For an act to be morally good, all three elements must be good. Circumstances may increase or decrease responsibility but cannot make an intrinsically evil act moral. Overall, morality involves freely choosing to do good over evil through our actions.
Notions of morality
The document discusses several popular notions of morality, including deontological ethics, utilitarianism, pragmatism, altruism, intrinsicism, subjectivism, collectivism, pacifism, humanism, anarchism, existentialism, and eudaimonism. Deontological ethics focuses on duty and moral obligation, while utilitarianism believes the moral worth of an action is determined by its contribution to overall utility and happiness. Pragmatism sees the function of thought as guiding action. [END SUMMARY]

Chapter 8 _ Making Moral Decisions You Can Defend - JNL-2105 - Journalism Eth...
This presentation elaborates on Chapter 8 - Making Moral Decisions You Can Defend - of The Ethical Journalist by Gene Foreman. It discusses using a 10-question template to help you make ethical decisions as a journalist.
Making Moral Decisions
The document discusses how to make good moral decisions. It says that every choice we make reveals our character and helps shape us into the person we become. Sometimes good choices are clear, but often they require careful consideration of circumstances, consequences, guidance from others, and our values. The document provides various models for decision making, from casually leaving choices to chance to carefully examining one's conscience with prayer. It emphasizes developing virtues like prudence, courage, justice and self-control to skillfully discern right choices.
Important elements in making moral decisions
To make moral decisions, one should (1) investigate the facts of an act including its nature, intention, and circumstances, (2) inquire about relevant moral norms, (3) imagine consequences and alternatives, (4) understand how emotions affect decision making by listening to one's emotions, (5) seek God's guidance through prayer before, during, and after deciding, and (6) implement the decision with courage and resolve. Moral decision making relies on both human nature and God's grace.

Adolescents, Morality and Interactive Entertainment: The influence of moral s...West Virginia University - Department of Communication Studies
The current study examines the culpability of adolescents’ innate moral in influencing decisions in and subsequent enjoyment of an interactive media environment. Morality was assessed using Moral Foundations Theory (cf. Haidt & Joseph, 2007), which to this point had not been applied to either adolescents or interactive media. In an experimental design, participants from two countries, the US (N =91) and Germany (N = 94), used a computer simulation where they were confronted with the decision to violate or uphold various aspects of morality. Data suggest that in German adolescents, moral salience leads to a decrease in decisions to commit moral violations, while in US adolescents, decisions to commit moral violations appeared to be random. Enjoyment was not influenced by moral module salience in either group groups. Decision Making
This document outlines steps for making important decisions. It discusses that decision making determines one's destiny and is important for individuals to possess. It presents a 7-step decision making model: 1) Identify opportunities and problems, 2) Identify objectives, 3) Generate alternatives, 4) Evaluate alternatives, 5) Reach a decision, 6) Choose an implementation strategy, and 7) Monitor and evaluate. The document emphasizes making decisions based on facts, considering all options, and in the best interests of the relevant organization or individual.
Morality of our acts
This document discusses the concept of morality from a Christian perspective. It defines morality as a set of principles for determining right and wrong conduct. Christian morality is a response to God's call revealed through Jesus Christ. Living a moral life upholds human dignity and bears witness to the value of each person. Key aspects of morality include free will, knowledge, principles such as love and service to others, and following divine and natural laws.
Pastoral issues relating to christian morality : Masturbation
This document discusses Christian views on masturbation from a Catholic perspective. It defines masturbation and notes that it is a common practice among males. It then examines biblical passages regarding lust and sexual immorality. The Church teaches that sexuality is meant for procreation within marriage, so masturbation is seen as intrinsically disordered. While always objectively sinful, culpability depends on knowledge and intent. The document outlines factors that can contribute to masturbation and recommends ways to avoid urges, like prayer and avoiding arousing materials.
Modifiers of Morality
The document discusses factors that can affect an agent's responsibility when performing an act, including fear, ignorance, habit, violence, and passions. It describes three types of ignorance: invincible, which can only be removed through extraordinary efforts; vincible, which can be removed through ordinary efforts; and affected, when one intends to remain ignorant to avoid sanction. It also distinguishes two types of passions - antecedent passions that arise spontaneously, and consequent passions that are deliberately aroused by the will.
Shang dynasty
The Xia Dynasty fell around 1600 BCE due to the tyrannical rule of King Jie. After the Xia's fall, Shang Tang came to power and established the Shang Dynasty, gaining support from smaller kingdoms. The Shang Dynasty lasted over 600 years, developing advanced skills in bronze-working, writing, and silk production. Kings like Wu Ding expanded the dynasty's territory and cultural achievements, though the last King Di Xin oversaw the dynasty's fall to the Zhou.

Christian Moral Decisions
This document discusses how Christians approach moral decision making. It explains that Christians believe morality comes from God, and see their conscience as God's voice guiding them to do good. The Bible and teachings of the Church provide important guidance for moral issues, but some Christians also believe in situation ethics, where decisions are made based on the specific situation to achieve the greatest love and good. Overall, Christians draw on multiple sources like conscience, Bible, and situation context to determine the morally right choice in a way that honors God.
5. the church
The document discusses how communion originates from the Trinity and is manifest in creation. All creatures are interconnected and interdependent, showing God's self-giving act in evolution. Understanding our connection to the greater community of creation helps expand our view of communion. The Church lives communion especially through the Eucharist, where community members bond as one body in offering themselves to God and receiving Christ.
Christian Decision Making
"The 20 sessions of this seminar present 26 Biblical guidelines for making good decisions in life. The importance of understanding the distinction between God's sovereign will and God's moral will is presented and the means that God uses to direct our path is explained." The content is all theirs, I just put it in a format for my own learning and am sharing it.

The church during the 1st three centuries
The early Christian communities centered around the apostles in Jerusalem and strengthened their union with God through celebrating the Eucharist. They shared their possessions communally and met daily in the temple and homes. However, they faced controversies over Jewish laws and were later persecuted by Roman emperors, though the persecutions only served to spread Christianity further. During this time, Christians developed a strong spiritual link and awareness of continuing Christ's mission through reflecting his image as the body of Christ in their solidarity with one another.

DECLARATION ON THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE
CHURCH TO NON-CHRISTIAN RELIGIONS
Second Vatican Council
October 28, 1965
Revised English Translation*
1. In our day, when people are drawing more closely together and the bonds of friendship
between different peoples are being strengthened, the church examines more carefully its
relations with non-Christian religions. Ever aware of its duty to foster unity and charity among
individuals, and even among nations, it reflects at the outset on what people have common
and what tends to bring them together.
Humanity forms but one community. This is so because all stem from the one stock which
God created to people the entire earth (see Acts 17:26), and also because all share a
common destiny, namely God. His providence, evident goodness, and saving designs extend
to all humankind (see Wis 8:1; Acts 14:17; Rom 2:6-7; 1 Tim 2:4) against the day when the
elect are gathered together in the holy city which is illumined by the glory of God, and in
whose splendor all peoples will walk (see Apoc 21:23 ff.).
People look to their different religions for an answer to the unsolved riddles of human
existence. The problems that weigh heavily on people's hearts are the same today as in past
ages. What is humanity? What is the meaning and purpose of life? What is upright behavior,
and what is sinful? Where does suffering originate, and what end does it serve? How can
genuine happiness be found? What happens at death? What is judgment? What reward
follows death? And finally, what is the ultimate mystery, beyond human explanation, which
embraces our entire existence, from which we take our origin and towards which we tend?
2. Throughout history, to the present day, there is found among different peoples a certain
awareness of a hidden power, which lies behind the course of nature and the events of
human life. At times, there is present even a recognition of a supreme being, or still more of a
Father. This awareness and recognition results in a way of life that is imbued with a deep
religious sense. The religions which are found in more advanced civilizations endeavor by
way of well-defined concepts and exact language to answer these questions. Thus, in
Hinduism people explore the divine mystery and express it both in the limitless riches of myth
and the accurately defined insights of philosophy. They seek release from the trials of the
present life by ascetical practices, profound meditation and recourse to God in confidence
and love. Buddhism in its various forms testifies to the essential inadequacy of this changing
world. It proposes a way of life by which people can, with confidence and trust, attain a state
of perfect liberation and reach supreme illumination either through their own efforts or with
divine help. So, too, other religions which are found throughout the world attempt in different
ways to overcome the restlessness of people's hearts by outlining a program of l ...
Concept of Mission.pptx
The document discusses how the Catholic Church's understanding of mission changed as a result of the Second Vatican Council from 1962-1965. The Council emphasized that mission comes from God, not the Church, and that all Christians have a role in mission, not just ordained missionaries. It moved away from understanding mission as converting others to seeing it as bearing witness to God's love and promoting justice, peace and dialogue between all people.
IWRBS-Module-5.pptx introduction to world religion
Christianity is one of the world's largest religions with over 2 billion followers worldwide. It is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, who lived in Israel approximately 2000 years ago. Some of the core beliefs of Christianity include the Trinity of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ; salvation through faith in Christ; and eternal life after death or judgment. Christianity was founded by Jesus and later established as a religion by his disciples and apostles through the spread of his teachings.
Jesus: Human & Divine
Jesus lived a fully human life while also being divine. He experienced human joys and sorrows to sanctify human experiences. His life fulfilled Jewish expectations of the Messiah by obeying Jewish law and traditions. Jesus brought unity among divided groups in Israel through his teachings of love and by healing the sick of all backgrounds. The Mass allows Christians today to access the salvation won on the cross through the sacrifice of Christ's body and blood, which has its roots in the Jewish Passover tradition.

Cuic overview
This document summarizes the history and work of the Consultation on Church Union (COCU) from 1960 to 2012, which later became Churches Uniting in Christ. It discusses the theological dialogues, plans for union, and concerns that emerged over ministry and commitment to unity. Key events included attempts at plans of union in 1970 and 1985, a crisis in racial justice in 2006, and a decision in 2008 to focus on healing relationships within the body.

Overt self-alienation characterises wilful disunity existing among Christians, particularly in Nigeria.
Evidence of this is obvious in the number of Christian sects springing up daily. Each has its own interpretation
of the message of Christ’s Good News, thereby generating diversified and conflicting views on Christian belief.
This paper argues that the Pater Noster (The Lord’s Prayer), a common Christian prayer, is a paradigm for
ecumenical commitment. It studies the Matthean version of this prayer in conjunction with its other traditions in
the New Testament and the Didache. In the Pater Noster we find the reason for ecumenical endeavour for which
Jesus prayed and which should be a concern of all Christians

Christianity originated with the teachings of Jesus Christ, who lived in Israel around 2000 years ago and is believed by Christians to be the Messiah. It later developed into three major divisions - Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism, which have some differences in beliefs, practices, and authority structures but are united in their core beliefs about Jesus. The document provides details on the origins and spread of Christianity, the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, and the differences between the three major branches of modern Christianity.

Christian Symbols
A common Christian symbol is a cross. It is a significant symbol for many reasons. The cross symbolizes the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It also signifies the devotion of God to sacrifice his only son for the redemption of the human race. Crosses were used before the Christian era; however, their use cannot be labelled as faith-based or not. The widespread use of the cross began in the 4th century when emperor Constantine became a Christian, prohibited the death penalty by crucifixion, and promoted the cross as a symbol of Christianity. The cross has been used by many popular figures, including the pope, who is the head of the catholic church, where it forms part of the regalia and paraphernalia. Christians use the cross in many ways. Some Christians use it for prayer, while others use it as a protective tool against evil spirits. It is also worn as an expression of faith.
Sacred Scriptures
Many scriptures in the Bible guide the practice of Christianity. Every scripture in the Bible is regarded as sacred because the Bible is said to contain a word from God. The scriptures are divided into two; the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament gives a synopsis of the history of Christianity, a revelation of God's heart, and provides the foundational basis for comprehending the New Testament. On the other hand, the New Testament disseminates the life and significance of Jesus and his mission on earth and guides the practice of Christianity. They facilitate the various stages of Christianity, such as salvation, death, growth in spiritualism, baptism by water, and the spirit of the Holy Ghost. Therefore, these sacred scriptures play a significant role in churches.
Beliefs and Practices
Salvation and redemption are significant tenets of Christianity. The religion by itself alludes to followers of Christ dedicated to living a righteous life and abiding by the dictates of God's kingdom. However, to qualify as a Christian believer, the son of God, you need to be reborn. To be reborn is a metaphor symbolizing accepting salvation, abandoning the old life, and embracing the new life under the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Salvation and redemption are significant phases in Christianity. The scriptures indicate that a person can only go to heaven after accepting Christ as lord and personal savior. That is the ticket to heaven and the afterlife. When people die without salvation and redemption, the religion presupposes an afterlife in hell full of suffering and tribulations. Going to heaven is the objective of Christianity, and it is only through salvation that an individual is qualified to go to heaven after death.
Prayer and Worship
The notion of prayer and worship is a critical aspect of Christianity. Every religion has ways of appeasing its gods through songs and invocations (Ruth and Lim Swee Hong, 2021, 87). The religion h.

Chapter 1
The bible refers to the writings that Christians believe are holy and inspired by God. Through revelation God reveals himself. People believe that God reveals himself through the bible. This is through reading the bible and trying to understand its dippiest meaning. Tradition refers to the collection of writings, practices, artifacts and wisdoms that have been handed down by Christians from one era to the next since the time of the bible. Reason refers to the rational thought, inquiry, and intellect that human beings use to investigate the surrounding world. It is also considered a source of understanding God on account of the belief that God created humanity with rational creator. Experience on the other hand is the source for Christian thought and practice. Having this in mind, it is true that even the most abstract ideas need human beings to think them.
Theology method on the other hand has many theological methods that include; biblical criticism, systematic theology, historical theology, moral theology, pastoral theology, liberation theology, natural theology, liturgical studies and sacramental theology and mystical theology.
It is important for me to study theology since it serves as an interpreter and mediator between the traditions and the living communities of Christian people. It also shapes up the method one uses for practicing theology and the foundations a theologian prioritizes.
Chapter 4
Patristic Era refers to the era between 100 and 700. In this era, Christianity spread from its origins in Palestine throughout much of the Roman Empire. The spread of Christianity included both geographical and ideological expression. With this Jewish movement become thoroughly entrenched in and informed by elements of broader Greco-Roman culture. In this period Christians were always marginalized and at risk population from the start of the movement and the beginning of the fourth century. There was a drastic change when Emperor Constantine was converted to Christianity. Constantine later issued an edict of Milan that required toleration of Christianity. Later the Roman Empire under Emperor Theodosius made Christianity the official religion. The council of Nicaea concluded that Jesus was of the same substance as the father and produced the first form of Nicene Creed. The first council of Chalcedon concluded that in Christ there are two unconfused and undivided natures in one divine person , dispelling the monophysite which argued that Christ had a single nature that was either wholly divine or a mixture of human and divine.
In the Middle Ages several key developments shaped the landscape of Christian thought. First the Islam religion began to spread through North Africa and into Europe. Two, regular fighting among feudal lords resulted in ...
the-church_compress.pdf
The document defines the Catholic Church and discusses its origins and establishment. It begins by defining the Church through its own self-identity and marks (one, holy, catholic, apostolic) and then defines sacraments. It describes how Christ established the Church and how the Holy Spirit manifested it at Pentecost. It discusses the hierarchical structure of the Church established by Christ to ensure unity, fidelity, and administration of sacraments. The Church grows through the preaching and martyrdom of the Apostles and handing on of Jesus' teaching through Apostolic Tradition.
Religion
This document provides information about different religions in the Philippines, including Buddhism, Mormonism, Iglesia ni Cristo, Jehovah's Witnesses, Rizalista, Born Again Christian, and Atheism. It discusses their core beliefs and origins. For example, it states that Buddhism focuses on spiritual development and enlightenment, while Mormonism was founded by Joseph Smith in 1830 in New York and emphasizes traditional family life.
6. Church Teaching and Mission Today
The document discusses three models of mission throughout history:
1) Mission before Vatican II focused on saving souls and establishing the Church.
2) Mission as participation in the Trinity sees the Church as continuing God's mission in the world by witnessing to God's reign and working for justice and liberation.
3) Post-Vatican II understands mission as proclaiming Christ as universal savior while respecting other religions and engaging in interreligious dialogue.
CHRISTIANITY intro to world religions
Christianity originated in Palestine around 100 CE and was founded by Jesus Christ. It is now one of the world's largest religions with over 2 billion followers worldwide. Christianity is based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ as well as beliefs outlined in the Holy Bible. The three main branches are Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism.
Missional Jesus
The document discusses Jesus' missional message, motive, and life as priorities for how the church thinks about and carries out its mission. It examines Jesus' message of the reign of God, including how the church lost and must recover this message. It also explores Jesus' motive as seen in several biblical passages and how his life was one of identification, incarnation, and embodiment of grace, love, and justice. The purpose was to establish a new community pointing to God's plan for the world through demonstrating and anticipating the future brought by Jesus Christ.
IWRBS-WEEK5.pptx
This document provides an overview of Christianity. It begins with a review of Judaism and then examines Christianity in more detail. Some key points covered include: Christianity's origins and teachings are based on Jesus Christ; it is one of the largest religions in the world with over 2 billion followers; core beliefs include monotheism and the Holy Trinity; and important figures, texts, holidays, and doctrines are discussed such as priests, the Bible, Easter, and the Ten Commandments.

23. Theology of Mission
The document discusses the missionary nature of the church and its approach to mission. It makes 3 key points:
1) The church is missionary by nature as its mission originates from God's love expressed through Jesus Christ and continued by the Holy Spirit. The mission of Jesus is the mission of the church.
2) In the context of religious pluralism, the church affirms the uniqueness of Christ while discerning God's presence in other religions and cultures. Its mission requires integrating interreligious dialogue, ecumenism, inculturation, and justice work.
3) The church remains faithful to Christ while discerning God in other religions through approaches like interreligious dialogue, ecumenism with other Christians

Introduction to moral theology
Theology is the study of God and divine revelation. There are two main branches: dogmatic theology, which examines theological truths about God; and moral theology, which guides Christians in living according to divine truths. Moral theology draws on sacred scripture and tradition to teach Christians how to live virtuously and act in a loving manner according to God's will. The ultimate goal of moral theology is to help Christians develop morally and attain salvation by living as disciples of Christ.
Module2
This document discusses two aspects of Filipino Catholic culture. First, it describes the tradition of "pagmamano" where Filipinos show respect to elders by holding their hand and placing it on their forehead. Second, it explains how Filipinos demonstrate their love for God through consistent prayer and worship, as seen in the photo of a Catholic Filipino praying.
4. communion
Communion refers to the bond of unity between Christians resulting from their shared life with God and each other. It was the heart of early Christian communities, expressed through their relationships, and the central notion of the Church's visible unity. Christians' communion with Christ and each other binds them together as a mighty force. The Church inherits the communion nature of the Trinity, with the Triune God serving as the basis for communion within the Church and its mission to gather all people into oneness with God and each other.
Mastering your Emotions
The document discusses emotional intelligence (EQ) and its five core components: intrapersonal skills, interpersonal skills, stress management, adaptability, and general mood. It explains that EQ involves understanding one's own emotions and the emotions of others, and effectively managing emotions in relationships. Developing high EQ can help improve decision-making, build strong relationships, reduce stress, and motivate achievement of goals.
Tax on income
The document defines taxable income and gross income for the purposes of taxation. It states that taxable income is gross income less any authorized deductions or exemptions. Gross income is defined broadly as all income from any source, including compensation, business income, property dealings, interest, rents, royalties, dividends, annuities, prizes, pensions, and partnership shares. The document goes on to list several exclusions from gross income for taxation, including life insurance proceeds, return of insurance premiums, gifts, damages from personal injury, income exempt by treaty, and certain retirement benefits.
Principles of income taxation
- The document outlines general principles of income taxation in the Philippines, including that citizens are taxed on worldwide income while non-citizens are only taxed on domestic income.
- It provides income tax rates for individual citizens and resident aliens that range from 5% to 34% depending on taxable income amount. Married couples file separately.
- Certain types of passive income like interest, royalties, and dividends are subject to final taxes ranging from 6% to 20% instead of the regular income tax rates. Capital gains are also taxed differently depending on the asset type.
Principles of phil taxation
1. The Philippine taxation system taxes aliens on income from sources within the Philippines regardless of residency status.
2. The tax year is January 1st to December 31st. Income taxes for nonresident aliens range from 5-32% for those engaged in trade/business to 15-25% for those not engaged in trade/business or who are executives of special entities.
3. Fringe benefits provided to managerial/supervisory employees are subject to a 32% fringe benefits tax calculated on the monetary value of benefits. Expatriates working in the Philippines for a definite period are generally considered nonresidents engaged in trade/business.
Land reform1
The document discusses key aspects of land reform in the Philippines including the objectives, definitions, history, and provisions of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (CARP) of 1988. It outlines CARP's goals to redistribute public and private agricultural lands to landless farmers and sets retention limits of no more than 5 hectares for landowners. Certain lands used for commercial farming, ancestral domains, and those owned by multinational corporations are also addressed.
Labor & employment lesson 11 a
The document discusses several key concepts related to labor and employment:
1. Labor is a factor of production and refers to human effort and skills. Human capital refers to the economic value of people's skills and abilities.
2. Employment involves a contract between an employer and employee, where the employee provides labor in exchange for wages. Unemployment exists when able and willing workers cannot find jobs.
3. Other concepts discussed include the unemployment rate, NAIRU, Phillips curve, underemployment, and differences in perspectives on the causes of unemployment from various economic theories.
Inflation lesson 9
The document discusses inflation, including its definition, causes, and effects. Inflation is defined as a rise in general price levels reported as a percentage change from a base year. Common causes of inflation include demand-pull factors like shortages, cost-push factors like increases in wages, and excessive monetary growth outpacing economic growth. Effects of inflation include a decreased purchasing power of currency, changes in consumer and investor spending habits, speculation on high-risk investments, and changes to the distribution of income between lenders and borrowers.
Malthusian lesson 11
Thomas Malthus was an English economist who argued that population growth occurs exponentially while food production increases arithmetically, leading to a decrease in food per person. He believed that premature death from factors like famine, war, and disease were necessary to control the population. Malthus favored moral restraints like late marriage and abstinence for the poor classes to limit population growth. His influential writings promoted reducing support for the poor in England.
Lesson 10 over employment, unemployment, underemployment and overtime
1) Overemployment refers to workers wanting shorter hours but being unable to reduce their work time. Unemployment is a total lack of work, while underemployment is when workers are employed but not at their desired capacity or skill level.
2) Overtime refers to working beyond a standard workweek, such as 40 hours, with overtime pay required for additional hours worked.
3) Unemployment is defined as those without work who are available and seeking employment, while underemployment is considered a more serious problem in the Philippines as it affects more workers and families.
Gnplesson 8
GDP is the total value of all final goods and services produced domestically in a year. It includes consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports. GDP is calculated using three approaches - expenditure, production, and income. The expenditure approach sums consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports. The production approach sums the value added at each stage of production. The income approach sums payments made to the factors of production - wages, profits, interest, and rent.
Inflation lesson 9
The document discusses inflation, including its definition, causes, and effects. Inflation is defined as a rise in general price levels reported as a percentage change from a base year. Common causes of inflation include demand-pull factors like shortages, cost-push factors like increases in wages, and excessive monetary growth outpacing economic growth. Effects of inflation include a decreased purchasing power of currency, changes in consumer and investor spending habits, speculation on high-risk investments, and changes to the distribution of income between lenders and borrowers.
Monopoly 2 lesson 7 a
While monopolies can generate economies of scale that lower prices for consumers, they may lack incentives for technological progress unless facing competitive pressures. Price discrimination allows monopolies to charge different prices to different customer groups, increasing profits but seen as an unfair practice that harms society. Natural monopolies in utilities are regulated by governments to set prices based on costs plus a fair rate of return. In some cases, regulated utilities are subsidized to operate at a loss to ensure output.
Inflation lesson 9
The document discusses inflation, including its definition, causes, and effects. Inflation is defined as a rise in the general price level over time. It is measured as an annual percentage increase by comparing the consumer price index from one year to the previous year. Common causes of inflation include demand-pull factors, government deficits, cost-push pressures like increased wages, and excessive monetary growth. Effects of inflation are a decreased purchasing power of currency, economic instability as spending habits change, speculation, and shifts in the distribution of income between borrowers and lenders.
Gnp approach lesson
The document presents data on the gross national product of a country using the expenditure approach and the production approach, breaking down GNP into various components such as personal consumption, government consumption, exports, imports, and sectors such as industry, services, and agriculture. It also discusses limitations in measuring national income and how to compute changes in GNP using constant prices versus current prices.
Monopsony lesson
A monopsony is a market with a single buyer that gives the buyer power to control supply and depress prices of inputs. This contrasts with competitive buyers who take prices as given. Monopsony power allows businesses to control unit costs of inputs similarly to how monopolies control prices. Monopsony power in labor markets can occur when there is only one employer in a town or high unemployment increases costs of changing jobs. While rare today, minimum wages can paradoxically increase employment for a monopsonistic employer.
Monopoly lesson 7
A pure monopoly is characterized by a single seller of a unique product without close substitutes, the ability to set any price, and barriers to entry that prevent competition. While pure monopolies are rare, monopolies can exist when a firm is the only producer of a product and uses barriers like patents, large size, or unfair tactics to prevent competition. A monopoly has power over price as the sole provider of a product and sets price at the level that maximizes profits by balancing marginal revenue and marginal costs.
Oligopoly lesson 6a
An oligopoly is characterized by a market with a few dominant firms that have power over price. There are also many smaller firms and the product is either standardized or differentiated. The dominant firms fear retaliation from one another if they change prices, so they engage in nonprice competition instead of price wars. High concentration in an oligopoly results from economies of scale, business cycles eliminating weak competitors, mergers, and barriers to entry. Firms in an oligopoly are interdependent and must consider how their competitors will respond to their actions.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

3. church
- 1. The Church has its Beginning in the First Early Christian Community in Jerusalem (Lesson 2)
- 2. The Church Developmental History Started after Christ’s death and resurrection. A small group of people who had heard His message and experienced Him started gathering in homes to pray, to share the Word of God, to break bread, and to share their goods with one another. The house church was the genesis of the Church.
- 3. The First Christian Community Mission is to proclaim the Kingdom of God. Made tangible the life of unity and love of the three-personed God. God’s love was given equally to all regardless of social standing. Everyone have rights to marriage, both men and women are expected to be faithful to their spouses.(Driedger, 2006, 69)
- 4. With their witnessing of unity and love, people became attracted to the community. It constituted the basis of the Church (Harrington, 2001, 22) Their practices became the basis and later serves as our frame of reference to evaluate the state of our present- day church.
- 5. Church’s Frame of Reference A communitarian profession of Faith In the Lordship of Jesus (Acts 2:41-47); Proclaiming the Word of God to and outside of the Christian Community; Celebrating our Communion with God and another in the sacraments; Having a strong sense of fellowship; Having a plurality of ministries and Continuing Jesus’ mission of Proclaiming the kingdom.
- 6. Jewish Christians Grew out of Jesus-event were the Jewish communities that believed in Jesus yet still felt bound by the Mosaic law. Held their communal prayer services while they still kept the Old Law and its traditions by partaking in the temple worship/ritual. Circumcision as a sign of their covenant with God. Jewish Sabbath on the seventh day of the week and added a celebration of Ressurection Sunday. Faith was the fulfillment of Judaism.
- 7. Proclaimed Christ even beyond Jerusalem. Period of Jewish Christianity, centered in Jerusalem. Only thereafter they carried the Gospel to the Gentiles (Matthew 8:11) As a sign of the ever presence of the Spirit of the Risen Christ That bought about the growth and development of the early Christian Communities beyond Jerusalem.
