Ten words of grace #6 june 26, 2011
This document discusses the sixth commandment "You shall not murder" from the Heidelberg Catechism. It explores what exactly is prohibited by this commandment, why God forbids murder, and the implications for how we should treat all people with dignity, respect, and compassion. Key points include that human life is sacred as it is created by God, murder is unlawfully taking a life as defined by Scripture, and Jesus calls us to love even our enemies instead of harboring anger or hatred towards others.
Miketz: Restoration of Israel, The End Time Prophecies of Joseph
The document discusses the story of Joseph and his brothers and draws parallels between Joseph and Jesus. It argues that the Torah uses historical stories like Joseph's to progressively reveal spiritual truths about the coming Messiah. Many details in Joseph's life foreshadow aspects of Jesus' ministry, death, and resurrection. The document also examines Joseph's time in Egypt as a metaphor for the tribulations believers must face and how God uses them to purify people.
Miketz: Restoration of Israel, End Time Prophecies of Joseph
The document discusses the story of Joseph and his brothers and draws parallels between Joseph and Jesus. It argues that the Torah uses historical stories like Joseph's to progressively reveal spiritual truths about the coming Messiah. Various details and patterns in Joseph's story point to aspects of Jesus' ministry, sacrifice, and future return. The document also examines the symbolic meaning of Egypt as a place of bondage and refinement and argues we can understand the "end times" by studying the Torah's beginning.
LDS OT Gospel Doctrine Class - Leeson 8 - Living Righteously in a Wicked World
LDS OT Gospel Doctrine Class - Leeson 8 - Living Righteously in a Wicked WorldBrother Brock’s Lessons (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)
This document provides a summary of Genesis 13-14 and 18-19, which discusses Abraham living righteously despite wealth, showing hospitality to strangers, and pleading with God to spare Sodom for the sake of righteousness. It also discusses Lot living in wicked Sodom and his family's narrow escape, with lessons about resisting temptation and the importance of righteous people.Revelation 17 chapter summary
1. The document discusses interpreting chapters in the Bible by asking three questions: what does it say, what does it mean, and what will I do about it.
2. It then summarizes Revelation chapter 17, explaining symbols like the woman riding the beast represent a false belief system that will be destroyed.
3. The ten horns on the beast represent 10 world leaders who will oppose God but ultimately be defeated when Jesus returns as king.
Vayeshev Trials in the Lives of the Patriarchs
This document provides a summary of the Torah portion for the week, notes on the Haftorah and Brit Chadashah readings, and commentary on themes from the Torah portion. It discusses Jacob settling in the land of Canaan and the concept of sojourning rather than settling. It notes that trials are used by God to bring spiritual growth and completion. The document encourages walking with God rather than becoming too settled in life, and notes that refining trials prepare believers to rule with God.
THE SCRIPTURE - The World of the Text
The study of the literary forms and genre of the different pericope in the Bible plays a very significant role in Biblical interpretation. This study allows the people to recognize that there are many types of literature. The authors always choose a vehicle through which they send a message to the readers. By there choice of genre, the authors are able to signal the readers how to take the message they want to convey.
Revelation 13 chapter summary
The document discusses interpreting biblical symbolism in Revelation chapters 13 and interpreting the meaning of the beasts from the sea and earth. It suggests that the first beast could represent a group of nations like Iran, Russia, and some surrounding states. The second beast seems to be a false religious leader who draws people to worship the first beast and introduces the "mark of the beast". The document emphasizes choosing to serve God rather than Satan in difficult times and being prepared to stand up for your faith through prayer and putting on the armor of God.
Revelation 2 feb 19, 2012 message slides
Jesus reveals himself to John on the island of Patmos to commission him to write letters to 7 churches in Asia Minor and a prophetic book about end times. Jesus knows each church intimately and walks among the 7 golden lampstands which represent the churches. The letters contain both praise and warnings for the churches to repent from sin and hold firmly to their faith in Jesus, who promises victory to the faithful.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

Cities Of Refuge Summary
- 1. Sunday 14 March Message: Elmer Arentsen Summary: Edith van Kooten Title: Cities of Refuge Who has seen the movie of Shrek? If you haven’t here is a short description: Shrek was an ugly creature, an ogre. Not many people wanted to befriend him because of his outward appearance. At one time he explained something about himself to a donkey, saying: “I am like an onion. When you peel off the outer layers, you will find jewels inside”. Today we will also peel of some layers of an onion, in fact 3 layers: 1. A short historical lesson; 2. How this relates to our Lord Jesus; 3. How this relates to us. 1. A short historical lesson For this we read Joshua chapter 20, which is the basis for this message. Here is a timeline that shows how much time passed from Abraham to Joshua: For those who are not native speakers of the English language, here is a definition of the word ‘refuge’: - Protection or shelter, as from danger or hardship - A place providing protection or shelter - A source of help, relief or comfort in times of trouble The principle of the cities of refuge in the chapter we just read shows us that: - If you killed someone accidentally, the avenger of blood (usually a family member or a relative) could come after you and avenge the blood of the one whose life you took; - The city of refuge was where you could seek protection from this avenger of blood; - As long as you stayed in this city until the death of the high priest, you were safe; - Once the high priest (who was alive when you entered the city) was dead, you were free to return to your home town; - The city of refuge was for both Jews and aliens. (and no, an alien is not an extra terrestrial being, for those who have seen too many SF movies – the word actually means: “stranger”).
- 2. Where were the cities located? Answer: on hilltops, and evenly spread across the whole country of Israel; 3 in the promised land, 3 outside of it. See the red dots on this map: History shows us that many countries this principle had more or less been applied over the years. Today, refugees seeking asylum can be compared to those fleeing to those cities of refuge. In The Netherlands, refugees who seek asylum for the following reasons can never be turned down: those seeking protection from political, religious and/or social persecution. 2. How this relates to Jesus Read Hebrews 6: 18-20, concentrate on verses 18b and 20 (verse 20 – Melchizedek; the name is derived from 2 Hebrew words, ‘Melech’ (which means ‘king’) and ‘tzaddik’ (which means ‘righteous man’ or ‘righteousness’). Read now 1 John 1:7 – protection in case of accidental killing – substitute ‘accidental killing’ with the word ‘sin’ 1 Peter 5:8b – the avenger of blood is the devil (the adversary), and Jesus protects us from the roaring lion.
- 3. John 3:16 (the love of God for us) Principles of the city of refuge: - We are safe in the city of refuge (kingdom of heaven) until the death of the high priest (but Jesus is our High Priest and never dies) – Hebrews 7:23-24; - Once the High Priest dies, we are free to return to our home town - Isaiah 53:5; - This city of refuge is for Jews and aliens – Galatians 3:28. 3. How this relates to us Read Romans 15:4 Where do we stand? We should ask ourselves the following questions: - Do we run to Jesus for protection? - Are we within the walls of the city (or are we continually seeking the boundaries and trying to push them?) The 3 cities in the promised land were: Kadesh, Shechem and Hebron The 3 cities east of the Jordan were: Bezer, Ramoth and Golan What do these names mean? - Kadesh (holy) – read 1 Peter 2:9; - Shechem (dedication) – read Matthew 6:33; - Hebron (fellowship) – read John 14:23 - Bezer (fortress, defense) – read Ephesians 6:11 - Ramoth (heights) – read Matthew 5:14-16 - Golan (captivity, exile) living in a place you don’t want to be – read 1 Peter 2:11. Questions to ask: Are we - Living a holy life? - Dedicated to God? - In fellowship with the Father? - Protected by God’s armour? - Visible to others? - Longing for home, away from evil? In sum: we learned 3 lessons: historical, prophetic (how Jesus relates to the cities of refuge) and spiritual (Romans 15:4) Do we recognize the following in the cities of refuge: a) Jesus, b) God’s promises, c) our lives and d) our church? Let’s pray that the Lord keeps us focussed on Him (Psalm 139: 1-7; 23-24).
