The first thing we need to do is consider Judas Iscariot, who is typically remembered for one thing: his betrayal of Jesus.
He was one of the twelve disciples who lived with and followed Jesus for three years.
He witnessed Jesus’ ministry, His teaching, and His many miracles. He was the treasurer for the group and used this trusted position to steal from their resources (John 12:3-6).
Money was important to Judas. As already mentioned, he was a thief, and, according to Matthew 26:13–15, the chief priests paid him “thirty silver coins” to betray Jesus.
This is a study of Jesus changing the name of Peter and others of His disciples. God also changed people's names, and so like father, like son. Name changing is a bid deal in the Bible.

Biblical View of Time by Joshua Hawkins.
In order to understand the story of Scripture and read the world from the Bible’s perspective, we must “play the game” on the Bible’s field and follow the Bible’s rules. The Bible’s field could also be called its worldview, or more specifically, its cosmology. This section is an overview.
The church at Ephesus "the loveless church" the church at Smyrna "the resilient church" the church at Pergamum "the compromising church" The church at Thyatira "the corrupt church!"
The Bible stands alone as an incredible ancient book. It is forcefully substantiated by thousands of ancient copies and thousands of fulfilled prophecies. It has always been powerful.

The Apostle Peter wrote this letter to encourage believers who are facing trials and persecution. As we face the storms in our lives, Peter offers comfort and hope. This confident hope gives us the encouragement and enablement we need for daily living.
The word pastor comes from a Latin word which means “shepherd.” The New Testament presents two offices that constitute church leadership—elder/overseer and deacon. Paul lists the qualifications for elder/overseer in 1 Timothy 3:1–7 and Titus 1:5–9. Notice that in the 1 Timothy passage, Paul refers to them as overseers/bishop (episcopos in the Greek), and in Titus he refers to them as elders (presbuteros in Greek). From this it can be concluded that there is one office with different designations. The word elder refers to the life experience of the office holder, while the word overseer/bishop emphasizes the responsibility of the office holder to watch over the congregation and meet their spiritual needs.
Further, believers may have the “right” to do anything, but not everything is beneficial (1 Corinthians 10:23). Paul used the illustration of eating meat that had been dedicated to idols. To him, such a dedication meant nothing since idols are not real gods. However, he would abstain from eating meat for the good of others who might sin by following his example. Believers serve the Lord both through their personal lives and in their actions toward others.
According to Romans 8:29-30, God predetermined that certain individuals would be conformed to the likeness of His Son, be called, justified, and glorified. Essentially, God predetermines that certain individuals will be saved. Numerous scriptures refer to believers in Christ being chosen (Matthew 24:22, 31; Mark 13:20, 27; Romans 8:33, 9:11, 11:5-7, 28; Ephesians 1:11; Colossians 3:12; 1 Thessalonians 1:4; 1 Timothy 5:21; 2 Timothy 2:10; Titus 1:1; 1 Peter 1:1-2, 2:9; 2 Peter 1:10). Predestination is the biblical doctrine that God in His sovereignty chooses certain individuals to be saved, but this does not mean that all those who are saved were chosen in advance, just a select few for His purposes.
God makes a distinction between those who sin in ignorance and those who sin willfully (Numbers 15:27-31), repentance is always necessary to receive forgiveness (Mark 1:15; Acts 2:38; Acts 26:18). Repentance is literally a change in one’s attitude about God and accompanies saving faith in Christ (Acts 3:19; 20:21; 26:20).
Without it there can be no forgiveness. Jesus said, “No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3; cf. 17:3-4; 2 Peter 3:9).
To sin willfully is to be proud and presumptuous in one’s defiance of God (Psalm 19:13; Hebrews 10:26). Willful sins bring God’s judgment, sooner or later, but sins of ignorance are not excusable, either:
Negative theology, also called apophatic theology, is a way of looking at God using negation. It is the study of what God is not rather than what He is. Negative theology asserts that the transcendent God is essentially unknowable. He is too complex and abstract a being for humans to understand, and words will always fall short of truly describing Him.
Therefore, we are unable to make positive statements about Him. For example, rather than say, “God is good,” negative theology would say, “There is no evil in God,” and leave it at that. Negative theology attempts to come to a knowledge of God indirectly, by removing those things that God is not.
The first thing to consider about Palm Sunday is the dispute surrounding the day of Jesus’ crucifixion, good Friday and the Sunday pre-ported to be the day of His resurrection. If Jesus did not die on a Friday, in brings into question NOT the occasion of Jesus’ entry into the city, but if this occurred on a Sunday. Palm Sunday is the day Christians celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, supposedly, one week before His resurrection (Matthew 21:1–11). As Jesus entered the holy city, He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha. Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called “Passion Week,” the final seven days of Jesus’ earthly ministry. Palm Sunday was the “beginning of the end” of Jesus’ work on earth.
The short answer is Yes, according to Biblical context you will go to Hell, but thats the easy answer..I would be remiss if I did not take a moment to share the following.
If you consider yourself an atheist with a sincere interest in truth, there are several things about Christianity that's critical to understand. This article will solely deal with the biblical Christian faith which I subscribe to personally, and since this question is a biblical one I submit the following.
A cursory reading of the New Testament will reveal that the Catholic Church does not have its origin in the teachings of Jesus or His apostles. In the New Testament, there is no mention of the papacy, worship/adoration of Mary (or the immaculate conception of Mary, the perpetual virginity of Mary, the assumption of Mary, or Mary as co-redemptrix and mediatrix), petitioning saints in heaven for their prayers, apostolic succession, the ordinances of the church functioning as sacraments, infant baptism, confession of sin to a priest, purgatory, indulgences, or the equal authority of church tradition and Scripture.
“Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:37-38
“Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.” Acts 10:47-48
Here Peter was describing separate events, repentance and receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior are single transactions that once done results in the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. These are distinct separate events from the gifts of the Holy Spirit. They are separate from baptism in Jesus’ name, which is NOT required for salvation nor is baptism required in order to receive the gifts of the Spirit.
In the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah of Judah ordered the caretakers of the Ark of the Covenant to return it to the temple in Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 35:1-6; cf. 2 Kings 23:21-23). That is the last time the ark’s location is mentioned in the Scriptures.
No it is not, to blaspheme is to speak with contempt about God or to be defiantly irreverent. Blasphemy is verbal or written reproach of God's name, character, work, or attributes.
Blasphemy was a serious crime in the law God gave to Moses. The Israelites were to worship and obey God. In Leviticus 24:10–16, a man blasphemed the name of God. To the Hebrews, a name wasn’t just a convenient label. It was a symbolic representation of a person’s character. The man in Leviticus who blasphemed God’s name was stoned to death.
Genesis can be placed into six major contexts—Pre-creation, Creation (Gen 1-2); The Fall of man (Genesis 3-4); Noah through the Flood (Genesis 5-10); The Tower of Babel with the introduction of languages (Genesis 11:1-9); and The Patriarchal Era (Genesis 11:10-50). In each of these contexts—God, Man, Creation and World order are considered.
The book of Genesis begins by introducing God who existed before the Creation (Genesis 1:1). Genesis does not argue for the existence of God, rather it is written with the fundamental presupposition that before the world was created, God was––ie; “In the beginning God”.
Genesis also states that it was God who created the world (Genesis 1:1). The theological implication of (Genesis 1:1) is that God is self–existing with asiety, that He is eternal, that everything exists because He created it, and that He transcends Creation.
The main passage in the Bible that mentions the “mark of the beast” is Revelation 13:15-18. Other references can be found in Revelation 14:9, 11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20, and 20:4. This mark acts as a seal for the followers of the Antichrist and false prophet (the spokesperson for the Antichrist).
The false prophet (the first beast) is the one who causes people to take this mark. The mark will be literally placed in the hand or forehead and will not simply be a card someone carries.
We have more questions about angels and demons than we have answers. Many times we have to make guesses and assumptions based on a few biblical facts. Angels are essentially spiritual beings without bodies. Hebrews 1:14 calls them ministering spirits. When they appear to people, they normally are seen with bodies. Sometimes they appear as ordinary men (Hebrews 13:2) or incredibly glorious men (Daniel 10:16) and sometimes as fantastic creatures (Isaiah 6:2; Ezekiel 1:4–14).
Many ancient manuscripts were lost or destroyed during Israel's turbulent history. The Old Testament text was standardized by the Masoretic Jews by the sixth century A.D., and all manuscripts that deviated from the Masoretic Text were evidently eliminated. But the existing Hebrew manuscripts are supplemented by the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Septuagint (a third-century B.C. Greek translation of the Old Testament), the Samaritan Pentateuch, and the Targums (ancient paraphrases of the Old Testament), as well as the Talmud (teachings and commentaries related to the Hebrew Scriptures).
Simon of Cyrene is mentioned in three of the four Gospels as the man impelled by the Roman soldiers to carry Jesus’ cross out of Jerusalem. His place of origin has led many to wonder if he was of African descent (and therefore black), or if he was simply born there as were many others of Greek, Roman, and Jewish descent.
Michelangelo’s statue of Moses on display in Vincoli, Rome, in the
Basilica of St. Peter in Chains, depicts Moses with two horns on his head. This horned portrayal of Moses by Michelangelo and by other artists in other works of art and literature stems from a passage in the book of Exodus.
The first occurrence of speaking in tongues occurred on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2:1-4. The apostles went out and shared the gospel with the crowds, speaking to them in their own languages: “We hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” (Acts 2:11).
The Greek word translated tongues literally means “languages.”
Therefore, the gift of tongues is speaking in a language a person does not know in order to minister to someone who does speak that language.
The phrase forbidden fruit has come to mean “something desirable but off limits.” The idea of forbidden fruit originated with the biblical account of the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, committing the first sin on earth. Genesis 3 gives the details of mankind’s first temptation. Satan, in the form of a serpent, convinced Eve that she had misunderstood God’s clearly stated command not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 3:4–5).
The Old Testament is divided into five sections: the Pentateuch
(Genesis through Deuteronomy), the historical books (Joshua through Esther), the poetic books (Job through Song of Solomon), the Major Prophets (Isaiah through Daniel), and the Minor Prophets (Hosea through Malachi). The Old Testament was written from approximately 1400 B.C. to approximately 400 B.C. The Old Testament was written primarily in Hebrew, with a few small sections written in Aramaic (essentially a variation of Hebrew).

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

Peter vs Judas
1. Why did Jesus choose Peter as the supreme
leader among the 12? Why not Judas Iscariot
since he has leadership skills?
!
The first thing we need to do is consider Judas Iscariot, who is
typically remembered for one thing: his betrayal of Jesus.
Tony Mariot Judas vs Peter Page ! of !1 11
2. He was one of the twelve disciples who lived with and followed Jesus
for three years.
He witnessed Jesus’ ministry, His teaching, and His many miracles.
He was the treasurer for the group and used this trusted position to
steal from their resources (John 12:3-6).
Money was important to Judas. As already mentioned, he was a thief,
and, according to Matthew 26:13–15, the chief priests paid him “thirty
silver coins” to betray Jesus.
Jesus knew from the very beginning what Judas Iscariot would do.
“Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a
devil?”
He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray
him, being one of the twelve. John 6:70–71
At the Last Supper, Jesus predicted His betrayal and identified the
betrayer: “Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have
dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the
son of Simon.” John 13:21-26
Tony Mariot Judas vs Peter Page ! of !2 11
3. !
Jesus said that Judas Iscariot was not “clean”; i.e., he had not been
born again and was not forgiven of his sins (John 13:10–11).
In fact, Judas was empowered to do what he did by the devil himself:
“And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That
thou doest, do quickly.” John 13:27
Judas Iscariot fulfilled the prophecy of Psalm 41:9, “Yea, mine own
familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up
his heel against me.”
“I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture
may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against
me”. John 13:18.
Tony Mariot Judas vs Peter Page ! of !3 11
4. Judas was fully responsible for his actions. Jesus said, “The Son of man
goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man
is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.”
Matthew 26:24
!
Judas was in no way forced to do what he did, he was not considered
in any way to be a leader, he was a thief, coward and traitor. He was at
the moment of his betrayal possessed by Satan Himself, which is to
say a demon did not enter Him, Satan did.
This means Judas was already predisposed to Satan in order to be
possessed. He did not accept or receive Jesus. For this reason he was
not a choice to anything more than he did. Again, his choice.

PETER - Matthew 16:13–20
18 “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will
build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”.
Tony Mariot Judas vs Peter Page ! of !5 11
6. Jesus never chose Peter as the “supreme leader” of anything. Jesus
made a statement that upon “this rock” Christ will build His church.
Peter, had made a confession that Jesus is “the Christ, the Son of the
Living God” (Matthew 16:16).
There are two views of Jesus statement, the first view is that Jesus was
declaring that Peter would be the “rock” on which He would build
His church. Jesus appears to be using a play on words.
“You are Peter (petros) and on this rock (petra) I will build my church.”
Since Peter’s name means rock, and Jesus is going to build His church
on a rock – it appears that Christ is linking the two together.
God used Peter greatly in the foundation of the church. It was Peter
who first proclaimed the Gospel on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:14-47).
Peter was also the first to take the Gospel to the Gentiles (Acts 10:1-48).
In a sense, Peter was the rock “foundation” of the church.
Tony Mariot Judas vs Peter Page ! of !6 11
7. !
The other popular interpretation of the rock is that Jesus was referring
not to Peter, but to Peter’s confession of faith in verse 16: “You are the
Christ, the son of the living God.”
Jesus had never explicitly taught Peter and the other disciples the
fullness of His identity, and He recognized that God had sovereignly
opened Peter’s eyes and revealed to him who Jesus really was.
His confession of Christ as Messiah poured forth from him, a heartfelt
declaration of Peter’s personal faith in Jesus. It is this personal faith in
Christ which is the hallmark of the true Christian. Those who have
placed their faith in Christ, as Peter did, are the church.
Tony Mariot Judas vs Peter Page ! of !7 11
8. Peter expresses this in 1 Peter 2:2–5 when he addressed the believers
who had been dispersed around the ancient world:
“Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected by men, but chosen by God and
precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a
holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through
Jesus Christ.”
!
At this point, Jesus declares that God had revealed this truth to Peter.
The word for “Peter,” Petros, means a small stone (John 1:42).
Tony Mariot Judas vs Peter Page ! of !8 11
9. Jesus used a play on words here with petra (“on this rock”) which
means a foundation boulder, as in Matthew 7:24, 25 when He
described the rock upon which the wise man builds his house.
Peter himself uses the same imagery in his first epistle: the church is
built of numerous small petros “living stones” (1 Peter 2:5) who, like
Peter, confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and
those confessions of faith are the bedrock of the church.
In addition, the New Testament makes it clear that Christ is both the
foundation (Acts 4:11, 12; 1 Corinthians 3:11) and the head (Ephesians
5:23) of the church.
It is a mistake to think that Jesus is giving either of those roles to Peter.
There is a sense in which the apostles played a foundational role in the
building of the church (Ephesians 2:20), but the role of primacy is
reserved for Christ alone, not assigned to Peter.
So, Jesus’ words here are best interpreted as a simple play on words in
that a boulder-like truth came from the mouth of one who was called
a small stone. And Christ Himself is called the “chief cornerstone”
(1 Peter 2:6, 7).
The chief cornerstone of any building was that upon which the
building was anchored. If Christ declared Himself to be the
cornerstone, how could Peter be the rock upon which the church was
built?
It is more likely that the believers, of which Peter is one, are the stones
which make up the church, anchored upon the Cornerstone, “and he
who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame” (1 Peter 2:6).
Tony Mariot Judas vs Peter Page ! of !9 11
10. !
The Roman Catholic Church uses the argument that Peter is the rock
to which Jesus referred as evidence that it is the one true church. As
we have seen, Peter's being the rock is not the only valid
interpretation of this verse.
Even if Peter is the rock in Matthew 16:18, this is meaningless in giving
the Roman Catholic Church any authority.
Scripture nowhere records Peter being in Rome. Scripture nowhere
describes Peter as being supreme over the other apostles. The New
Testament does not describe Peter as being the “all authoritative
leader” of the early Christian church.
Tony Mariot Judas vs Peter Page ! of !10 11
11. Peter was not the first pope, and Peter did not start the Roman
Catholic Church. The origin of the Catholic Church is not in the
teachings of Peter or any other apostle.
If Peter truly was the founder of the Roman Catholic Church, it would
be in full agreement with what Peter taught (Acts chapter 2, 1 Peter, 2
Peter).
