The document discusses Christian teachings about the creation of the world according to the Bible. It states that God created the world ex nihilo, or from nothing, through the Trinity - God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It also discusses the creation of humans, made in God's image, and placed in the Garden of Eden. Finally, it covers some of Jesus' teachings, including the Parable of the Prodigal Son and the importance of helping others in need as taught through the Parable of the Good Samaritan.

Calling all Crazy Christians to the 2013 conference of the Episcopal Church Women of Wyoming. This is the liturgy for the opening worship service at St. Stephen's on April 26, 2013.
This presentation showcases the divine perspective on marriage and alchemical union of souls.
The time has come for the collective to be made aware of the concept of Twin Flames; who they are, where they come from and what they are here to do.
Twin souls are part of one original consciousness, that had been separated to manifest as the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine. These divine lovers literally share the same soul.
They are here to assist humanity in their evolution of consciousness and to teach them the important lesson of unconditional love. Through the reunion with their divine counterpart, they close the spiritual circle of life. They reestablish the template of divine love that originates from the ancients of the Golden Age. They belong to the resurrected saints that according to Utiger (2013) will initiate the Era of the Millennium.
They exemplify what Holy Matrimony truly is, why it is important and why it had been established in the first place. The spiritual intimacy between partners precedes emotional and physical intimacy. Friendship leads into courtship, which leads into the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony.
Worldly love and marriage had been completely put upside down. It is essentially based on physical lust and egoistic desires. We must give love a chance. Once the physical contact is initiated it is very unlikely if not impossible to achieve emotional or even spiritual intimacy.
Major histocompatibility complexes are immune system cells, manifested in body odors, that are automatically picked up by the unconscious mind in the quest of a romantic partner. They allow the determination of genetic compatibility through chemosensory communication, without any kind of physical or intimate interaction (Wedekind, 1995). We automatically choose a mating partner with a very high percentage of genetic compatibility or complementarity, to make sure that our offspring disposes of an optimal immune system diversity and functioning and this complementarity enhances sexual desire and satisfaction and the wish to procreate (Kromer et al. 2016). Artificial perfumes change or mask our natural body odor and the birth control pill interferes with our ability to recognize genetic compatibility through olfactory cues (Roberts et al., 2008). Both are better to be avoided in the quest of the optimal genetic match.
Beyond all this, God chooses a partner for us that is compatible in all imaginable senses, on the physical, emotional and ethereal level, which makes all these mating theories obsolete. The challenge is to pray to God for the perfect partner and to wait for this person to come into your life and not to beg for His approval when truly our personal choice is already made. It demands great spiritual maturity and advancement in the transformation process for the perfect partner to be sent into our lives.

This Sunday we heard a continuation of John’s Last Supper Discourse where there is no mention of bread or wine – rather he speaks of being in relationship – about being part of the Trinity. To understand what this means I invite you to look at God – not as a noun – but as a verb. If you do, you just may understand that going to mass each Sunday is not about “going to” communion – but rather “being in” communion. This shift in your viewpoint may just allow you to see Christ everywhere and in everybody!
Check it out…
In this Sunday’s readings we heard that John saw a “new heaven and a new earth…for the old order has passed away…and He makes all things new.” This sense of ‘making all things’ new appears over twenty times throughout the Bible, with a reminder of our need to let go of our past, to allow room for the new – but what is this ‘’new thing”? And why is it so important that Jesus commands it?! Check it out and see how Ronald Rolheiser, Desmond Tutu and my grandchildren come at this from different angles to shed light on what we are called to do – which will allow us to transfigure the world!

This weekend we heard from Mark’s Gospel two parables of what the Kingdom of God is like. The challenge many Christians have is that we mistakenly think that the Kingdom of God is “eternal life”, or it is where we go when we die. But actually, the Kingdom of God is here and at hand…and it must continue through us, with us, in us and frankly despite us. How? By planting Gospel-based seeds. What does that mean? Check it out…
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

2. The creation of the world
The Christian teaching on the creation of the world stems from the Bible and
condenses in the first article of the symbol of faith. Detailed, but not scientific,
without it being unscientific, presentation made at the first chapter of Genesis (1, 1-
25).
1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth ...
This principle means that previously there was no time. Time begins with the
creation of the world, and end. The creation of the world by God was "ex nihilo",
without a pre-existing material, because before that there was nothing except God.
How God created the world? The Trinitarian God, i.e., God the father, through the
Son (Christ) creates the universe. The Holy Spirit gives life to the world.
The purpose of the Christian Church is not to explain the creation of the world.
This is the purpose of science, i.e. to explain when and how the universe was
created. Christian theology wants to reveal who created the world and why. God
created the world of boundless love. Wanted to created other beings that
participate in his blessedness.
Οι υλιστές επιστήμονες επιμένουν ότι ο κόσμος δημιουργήθηκε τυχαία μόνος του. Όπως γνωρίζουμε όμως EX NIHILO NIHIL FIT δηλαδή από το τίποτα δε γεννιέται τίποτα.
3. "And God saw that good ‘
The world around us: an everyday miracle!
People will say ornament. This is characterized by diversity,
order and harmony.
Creates, then, God in six "creative days" the world. The six
days are six large intervals of millions or billions of years old
each.
Let's go to the first page of the old testament, in the book of
Genesis, to meet the narration for creating this wonderful
world.

7. The creation of the world by the
ancient mythologies
.
All ancient people tried to give answer to the question of the origin of
the world. These responses found in the myths. In these myths, except
how I created the universe (cosmogony), there is talk about how they
created the gods (Theogony). The best-known in our example is the
"Theogony" of the ancient Greek poet Hesiod. Usually, the cosmogony
is the result of the fight of the gods. The respective, however, reports of
old Testament is essentially different.
.
8. The creation of man
God gives life to humans (Gen 1, 26-31& 2.4-25).
God said: "Let us create man in accordance with our own image
so that we may look like; and let's dominate the fish of the sea,
the birds of the sky, animals and generally the entire Earth and
reptiles that crawl on it ' ... Then the Lord God formed man of the
dust of the Earth, and breathed into his face breath of life. So was
the man living creature. Then the Lord God planted a garden in
Eden eastward ... Took, well, the Lord God man and put him in
the garden of Eden to cultivate and watch.
The essence of happiness of prwtoplastwn in Paradise is the triple
harmony relationships-with God, with others and with nature. All
goods and had direct communication with God.
9. What does it mean to be human?
According to the narrative of Genesis we are the only
creatures that were created as an image of God. We
have the spiritual gifts: logical, self-esteem, sovereign
and creative. We only can realize the importance of
life: To recognize that us freely to make ever better; to
share with our fellow human beings and other living
creatures, we feel her beauty; to choose freely which
roads will follow; We understand that the actual
destination of man is to relate with God and to look as
much as possible. We will succeed if we cultivate the
gifts given to him in perfect extent. I arrived as the
Church Fathers on Divinization.
Και να αγαπάτε τους αγνώστους και τους
αδιάφορους ως αδελφούς. Και να αφήνετε το
τρεμάμενο είναι σας να αγαπά την κτίση και τα
ζώα, τα χώματα, τα δέντρα, τα ποτάμια, τα βουνά
... και όλη τη δημιουργία, που περιμένει την
ευλογία της αγάπης σας.
Αρχ. Βασίλειος, ηγούμενος της Ι. Μονής Ιβήρων
10. The Creation of Woman (Gen. 2.18-
25)
The Lord God said: "it is not good to be the man alone. Will
create a mate like that "... Then the Lord God threw him into
a deep sleep and fell asleep. After he got a side and in its
place put flesh. With the side that got from Adam the Lord
God made a woman and brought her to Adam. Then Adam
said: "This is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh" ... Why
would a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his
wife. And both of them are to a House.
11. Man's relationship with the neighbor
The Church, interpreting the narrative of Genesis, teaches
that man and woman are equal in front of God, i.e. have the
same price, value and the same goal (likeness). Are equal in
rights, goods, and the purpose of life.
The same section and rate applies to all people, regardless of
nationality, colour and origin, because we are all created by
the same author. We are all children of God.
12. Who is the God of the Christian;
Values of the Christian religion
People before the coming of Christ longed and waited for a
new world. A world with less suffering, with more humanity
and happiness. The prophets foretold his coming. He once
came and started with Jesus Christ.
From the Gospels and other writings we hear about Jesus
Christ and the new world brought to life and his work.

20. Jesus taught in parables
Jesus often spoke in parables. With those revealed
new and unique truths about God, man and the
neighbor.
21. The parable of the visceral Father,
lk 15, 11-32
The parable that reveals the face of God as visceral father, a God who has
love for all, remains compassionate towards everyone in the way that
everyone needs. This unique Father of the parable, which always awaits us,
makes us feel his children and to have the certainty that "home" is always
open for us.
In this parable Jesus reverses the current perception of God and presents the
visceral and philanthropist. Reveals the God of infinite love, freedom and
forgiveness for everyone.
Reveals God as father forgives his children.
The parabola through art
22. The parable of the visceral
Samaritan (Lk. 10,25-37).
Always the people did and discriminate between them: against race,
nationality, religion, social class, etc. And depending on them behave in
favour or against the other. Jesus in the parable of the visceral
Samaritan overturned these distinctions and taught to see every
sensitive man, especially when it is in need, and to offer practical and
selfless love.
What you say near, what practical love, what I said as fellow brother ....?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG8uknKtLt0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvMyxFnCgKw
Η παραβολή μέσα από την τέχνη
23. Dialogue with the Samaritan, Jn 4,
1-42
Next to all without any discrimination. Accepts and
conversing without discrimination with men and women.
When the man who dominated by fear of death meets the
Lord of life, generated unexpected surprises. At the meeting
of Christ with the Samaritan the surprise is multiple: How a
Jew, Jesus, addressed to a man from Samaria? But even
more, how conversing with a woman, and even sinful. And
finally, how the woman that reveals the higher and deeper
truth of messianic of preaching.
24. The parable of the final Crisis
Mt 25.31-46
In the teaching of Christ in the new lifestyle, which he revealed
there is a criterion for the value of human life. This will be judged

considers decisive everyone for now and forever. Being close to
God or away, is a consequence of good or bad choices and acts
or omissions of others. God no one pays and nobody punishes.
Everyone wants near him.

encouraged to reproducThe belief in a God of relationship and love/God as
Trinitye on Earth the mystery of mutual love that the Trinity is experiencing
in heaven ... Each social unit, the family, the school, the factory, the parish,
must become an image of the Holy Trinity. Because we know that God is
three in one, each of us is committed to living sacrifice in another and
another. Everyone is irrevocably committed to a life of practical service,
active sympathy. Our faith in the Trinity obliges us to fight at every level,
from the strict staff as the best organised, contrary to all forms of
oppression, injustice and exploitation.

Editor's Notes
Journey into the world of religion
The creation of the world
The Christian teaching on the creation of the world stems from the Bible and condenses in the first article of the symbol of faith. Detailed, but not scientific, without it being unscientific, presentation made at the first chapter of Genesis (1, 1-25).
1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth ...
This principle means that previously there was no time. Time begins with the creation of the world, and end. The creation of the world by God was "ex nihilo", without a pre-existing material, because before that there was nothing except God. How God created the world? The triune God, i.e., God the father, through the Son (Christ) creates the universe. The Holy Spirit gives life to the world.
The purpose of the Christian Church is not to explain the creation of the world. This is the purpose of science, i.e. to explain when and how the universe was created. Christian theology wants to reveal who created the world and why. God created the world of boundless love. Wanted to created other beings that participate in his blessedness.
"And God saw that good ‘
The world around us: an everyday miracle!
People will say ornament. This is characterised by diversity, order and harmony.
Creates, then, God in six "creative days" the world. The six days are six large intervals of millions or billions of years old each.
Let's go to the first page of the old testament, in the book of Genesis, to meet the narration for creating this wonderful world.

The creation of the world by the ancients.
All ancient people tried to give answer to the question of the origin of the world. These responses found in the myths. In these myths, except how I created the universe (cosmogony), there is talk about how they created the gods (Theogony). The best-known in our example is the "Theogony" of the ancient Greek poet Hesiod. Usually, the cosmogony is the result of the fight of the gods. The respective, however, reports of old Testament is essentially different.
The creation of man
God gives life to humans (Gen 1, 26-31& 2.4-25).
God said: "Let us create man in accordance with our own image so that we may look like; and let's dominate the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, animals and generally the entire Earth and reptiles that crawl on it ' ... Then the Lord God formed man of the dust of the Earth, and breathed into his face breath of life. So was the man living creature. Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden eastward ... Took, well, the Lord God man and put him in the garden of Eden to cultivate and watch.
What I say to be "man"?
According to the narrative of Genesis we are the only creatures that were created as an image of God. We have the spiritual gifts: logical, aytexoysio, sovereign and creative. We only IE can we realise the importance of life: To recognize that us freely to make ever better; to share with our fellow human beings and other living creatures, we feel her beauty; to choose freely which roads will follow; We understand that the actual destination of man is to relate with God and to look as much as possible. We will succeed if we cultivate the gifts given to him in perfect extent. I arrived as the Church Fathers on Divinization.
The Creation of Woman (Gen. 2.18-25)
The Lord God said: "it is not good to be the man alone. Will create a mate like that "... Then the Lord God threw him into a deep sleep and fell asleep. After he got a side and in its place put flesh. With the side that got from Adam the Lord God made a woman and brought her to Adam. Then Adam said: "This is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh" ... Why would a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife. And both of them are to a House.
Man's relationship with the neighbor
The Church, interpreting the narrative of Genesis, teaches that man and woman are equal in front of God, i.e. have the same price, value and the same goal (likeness). Are equal in rights, goods, and the purpose of life.
The same section and rate applies to all people, regardless of nationality, colour and origin, because we are all created by the same author. We are all children of God.

Values of the Christian religion
People before the coming of Christ longed and waited for a new world. A world with less suffering, with more humanity and happiness. The prophets foretold his coming. He once came and started with Jesus Christ.
From the Gospels and other writings we hear about Jesus Christ and the new world brought to life and his work.

Jesus taught in parables
Jesus often spoke in parables. With those revealed new and unique truths about God, man and fellow human beings. The teachings of shows the Kingdom of God.
The parable of the visceral Father, Λκ 15, 11-32
The parable that reveals the face of God as visceral father, a God who has love for all, remains compassionate towards everyone in the way that everyone needs. This unique Father of the parable, which always awaits us, makes us feel his children and to have the certainty that "home" is always open for us.
In this parable Jesus reverses the current perception of God and presents the visceral and philanthropist. Reveals the God of infinite love, freedom and forgiveness for everyone.
Reveals God as father forgives his children.
The parable of the visceral Samaritan (Lk. 10,25-37).
Always the people did and discriminate between them: against race, nationality, religion, social class, etc. And depending on them behave in favour or against the other. Jesus in the parable of the visceral Samaritan overturned these distinctions and taught to see every sensitive man, especially when it is in need, and to offer practical and selfless love.
