Sermon Slide Deck: "Strangers to Ourselves: The Fall (Part 1)" (Genesis 3:1-10)New City Church
Because of the Fall, our basic orientation is a falling away from our Creator.
The result? God has become a stranger, and we have become strangers to ourselves.
And Jesus has come to show us the way back to God through his life, death, & resurrection from the dead.

Coming Generations Must Be Handed Incorruptible BatonKennedy Liyai
The Coming Generations Must Be Handed Incorruptible Baton. Good people will always strive to be a blessing to the coming generation. Whatever one sows, that he will reap. That is why we should set good precedence for the coming generation. Let them know that there lived a generation that would not condone corruption. Anything outside God's WILL is a corrupt. The Patriarch Abraham is a good example. He teaches us that it is rewarding to have unwavering Faith in God.
Although God is Great and Mighty in Power, He does not misuse His Power. He uses it to transform People's lives ...Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword"; For the mouth of the LORD . Isaiah 1:18-20.- (NKJV).
We all matter before God. Those who front themselves at the expense of others discriminate. This is contrary to AGAPE Love of God! In such a situation Pride takes centre stage. Pride comes before a fall!
The Destruction of America::"Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devour-ing fire. And the Lord shall cause his glo-rious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indig-nation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tem-pest, and hailstones" (Isaiah 30:27,30).
"Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord" (Jeremiah 8:7).
America is going to be destroyed by fire! Sudden destruction is coming and few will escape. Unexpect-edly, and in one hour, a hydrogen holocaust will engulf America—and this nation will be no more.
It is because America has sinned against the great-est light. Other nations are just as sinful, but none are as flooded with gospel light as ours. God is going to judge America for its violence, its crimes, its backslid-ings, its murdering of millions of babies, its flaunting of homosexuality and sadomasochism, its corruption,its drunkenness and drug abuse, its form of godliness without power, its lukewarmness toward Christ, its rampant divorce and adultery, its lewd pornography, its child molestations, its cheatings, its robbings, its dirty movies, and its occult practices.
In one hour it will all be over. To the natural mind it is insanity to come against a prosperous, powerful nation and cry out, "It's all over! Judgment is at the door! Our days are numbered!" The church is asleep, the congregations are at ease, and the shepherds slumber. How they will scoff and laugh at this mes-sage. Theologians will reject it because they can't fit it into their doctrine. The pillow prophets of peace and prosperity will publicly denounce it.
My definition of aliens is this: Aliens are non human intelligent beings who can interact with human beings. The Bible reveals at least 7 different such beings.
The 4,000 Year HinduCalvinism Delusion Arguments - In Depth Part II - Session 6Jeremy Richard
Calvinism. Reformed Theology. Hard Determinism. This is the major cancer in Protestant Christianity that many a Theologian have tried to combat but with very little success. Reformed Churches are exploding. Reformed Pastors are infiltrating churches and taking them over, satisfied if half the congregation leaves after their Calvinism is brought into the light since that still leaves them with the business organization and in charge. Calvinist board members are secretly recruiting these seminary-trained Pastors behind the backs of other board members and by the time the people of the church find out, it is too late.
Why is Augustine a hero to both the Roman Catholic Church and the Reformers? There was a huge, dangling thread on the sweater that the Church was wearing. That thread was pulled during the research which caused three more threads to be exposed and each time a thread was pulled more threads would show themselves until the entire sweater began to unravel to reveal the nightmare underneath. The answers that were found during this dig through history and the biblical texts will absolutely shock you as 1,600 year old truths will be revealed from under the Gnostic grime.
Christians tend to think that Calvinism only affects Calvinists and as long as they believe their nonsense over there then it doesn't affect them. But this mistaken view couldn't be more in error. HinduCalvinism affects almost everything you think you know about the bible and there is almost no subject in the biblical text that is untouched or unaffected.
Steel yourself for the millennia long adventure through history presented in these pages. They will change your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Thought-Provoking and Important Book!
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2022
Buy it, read it. Then read it again. This book is not only a must-read for anyone coming out of Calvinism, but is also important for any Christian who is in a church.
For me, even just this first section of the book was amazing! If Calvinist doctrines have harmed the faith of yourself or someone you love, understanding its errors is the first step toward healing and renewed growth. As a parent, understanding the subversive infiltration of Calvinist teachings into Christian thought is the best way to inoculate your children against falling prey to its heresies.
But there is so much more to this book than just providing the reader with a solid defense against Calvinism. This book will turn everything you thought you knew upside down, from your perception of yourself to your conception of the Creator.
This is an excellent, important book, and I highly recommend it.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

The Enemy Spreads Lies Secretly ! Part 2
1. 4) Promiscuous Lifestyle.
People rarely talk about this topic but it is
happening. God loves stable family units.
Dysfunctional families grieve His heart. The
Word of God declares, “Therefore what
God has joined together, let not man sep-
arate." Mark 10:9. Promiscuous lifestyle
promotes unfaithfulness in the land. Jesus said, "He who is not with Me
is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.” Luke
11:23. Promiscuous Lifestyle scatters (separates loved ones). Hares were
known for milking cows out there is the field. Do you still remember
your grandma’s stories? This behaviour is no longer welcome!
THE ENEMY SPREADS LIES
SECRETLY! -Part 2
2. 5) False Worship (Idolatry)
False worship comes in many ways. Sorcerers (witch doctors)
publish posters with their addresses inviting people to seek help
from them rather than from the
Living God who created all
things. These posters are
hung in strategic areas to cap-
ture much traffic. The fact that
this exercise is conducted at
night or very early in the morn-
ing shows that they are not
genuine people. They tend to avoid curious lookers in our cities
identifying who is behind them.
3. Any worship of anything or any
one other than the God of Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob is deception.
He is the God who revealed Him-
self to Moses in the burning bush.
Moreover He said, "I am the
God of your father-the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid
his face, for he was afraid to look upon God. And God said to Mo-
ses, "I AM WHO I AM." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the
children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" Exodus 3:6,14
(NKJV).
4. 6) Political Or Religious Assassinations (Murder)
Although the world is be-
coming civilized, we still have
some individuals who believe
eliminating their opponents is
the short-cut to power or promi-
nence. Those who scheme to
execute others fail to under-
stand that no one is a perma-
nent resident of this world. It is like selling your birthright in ex-
change for a dry morsel of bread. Ask Esau what he experienced af-
ter selling his birthright and you will discover is vanity. You cannot
compare any earthly treasure to what awaits God’s loving people in
eternity. Wise people never ruin their CVs by murdering the innocent.
5. Among those whose lives were cut short
by assassin’s bullet were prominent people
including the late US Abraham Lincoln, John
F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Nicolas the
last czar of Russia, President Sadat of Egypt
and many others.
The North Korean leader half brother Kim
Jong Un is allegedly killed in Kuala Lumpur
Airport Malaysia this week is the latest victim.
Here, it is believed that a chemical weapon
was used in his murder. There are some in-
dividuals who have been arrested to answer
charges following this mysterious death.
The blood of Abel cried from the ground when he was hurriedly killed
and buried by his brother Cain. Gen. 4. Blood has a voice and is sacred.
Below is part of the conversation between God and Cain.
Czar Nicholas of Russia
6. And He said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's
blood cries out to Me from the ground. So now you are cursed
from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your broth-
er's blood from your hand. When you till the ground, it shall no
longer yield its strength to you. A fugitive and a vagabond you
shall be on the earth." And Cain said to the LORD, "My punish-
ment is greater than I can bear! Gen. 4:10-13.
The same curse that landed on Cain lands to those who carry out
such evil. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Heb. 13:8.
They cannot escape! But those who turn back to God in sincere re-
pentance have hope. By Ken Liyai
Prayer:
Dear LORD God, help me to love You with all my heart, with all my soul, with all
my strength, and with all my mind and to love my neighbor as myself. Thank you
LORD for answering my prayer. In Jesus’ name. Amen!
