The document discusses how American church culture resembles the idolatrous Baal culture of ancient Canaan by prioritizing what makes people feel good over spiritual truth. It also references biblical passages about confronting sin within the church community and having faith that God reveals spiritual truths that the human mind cannot grasp on its own through His Spirit.

I decided to write a commentary on this passage because of the challenge of trying to understand what Paul is saying when he asks the Corinthians to hand one of their sinful members over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh that he might in the day of the Lord be saved. The man has to be given to his greatest enemy who will do him great harm, but in the end this will be a means by which he will escape
damnation and enjoy salvation. It sounded too crazy for me to pass it up. It is one of those difficult passages of Paul that Peter wrote about in 2Pe 3:16 “As also in all his
epistles, speaking in them of these things;

This is a wonderful healing ministry of Jesus that any of us can do with a little training and practice. Billions of people need this. You could help them! No doctor or scientist could do what a Christian can do to deliver people from demons that make them miserable. What a privilege to imitate Jesus in this ministry of His! The sermon slides are below.
Also, here are some really good video's the Lord led me to on YouTube where a guy confronts demons in people on the street while preaching. He delivers one guy on camera ( The guy spits up a little. sometimes happens when a demon comes out--not too gross).
I recommend you watch these to get a quick overview of what happens when demons feel threatened and when we shine the light of jesus on them to set people free.

St Ignatius of Antioch penned Epistles to the various Christian communities in Asia Minor, including some cities that received Epistles from St Paul. St Ignatius was writing these letters in a hurry while travelling to the City of Rome and his eventual martyrdom, he was fed to the lions in the Coliseum of Rome. He writes in a style similar to the New Testament Epistles, his Epistles read like prayers. One main reason why these writings are not included in the New Testament canon is because they were written in the second generation after the original apostles.
We discuss:
• St Ignatius discussions of slavery, marriage, prayer, Virgin Mary or Theotokos,
• How St Ignatius emphasizes “the authority of the clergy, the hatred of heresy and schism, and the glory of martyrdom.”
• St Ignatius’ Epistle to the Ephesians.
• St Ignatius’ Epistle to the Magnesians.
• St Ignatius’ Epistle to the Romans.
• St Ignatius’ Epistle to the Philadelphians.
• St Ignatius’ Epistle to the Smyrnaeans.
• St Ignatius’ Epistle to his fellow bishop, Polycarp.
• Challenges Bart Ehrman faced when translating Ignatius.

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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

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

16. Do we realize how almost exactly the Baal
culture of Canaan is reproduced in
American church culture? Baal religion is
about what makes you feel good. Baal
worship is a total immersion in what I can
get out of it. And of course it was
incredibly successful.

18. “If your brother sins, go and show him his
fault when the two of you are alone. If he
listens to you, you have regained your brother.
But if he does not listen, take one or two
others with you, so that at the testimony of
two or three witnesses every matter may be
established. If he refuses to listen to them, tell
it to the church. If he refuses to listen to the
church, treat him like a Gentile or a tax
collector.
Matthew 18:15-17
19. It is actually reported that sexual
immorality exists among you, the kind of
immorality that is not permitted even
among the Gentiles, so that someone is
cohabiting with his father’s wife. And
you are proud! Shouldn’t you have been
deeply sorrowful instead and removed
the one who did this from among you?
1 Corinthians 5:1-2
20.
21.
22. But just as it is written, “Things that no
eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind
imagined, are the things God has
prepared for those who love him.” God
has revealed these to us by the Spirit. For
the Spirit searches all things, even the
deep things of God.
1 Corinthians 2:9-10
