The Christian narrative is a rich chronicle of events as captured in the Holy Bible, from the time of creation, through the fall, redemption, and finally restoration (GCU, 2020). When we consider that the perfect life God had purposed for man at creation fell apart following the original Adam sin, when man disobeyed God’s instruction. it marked the genesis of the suffering, sickness, and death that is the reality of our world today. Throughout the arc of this narrative, one can decipher some parallels with certain aspects of our mortal existence plagued by sickness and disease, and through this perspective, we can discover God’s nature and his purpose and plan for our lives.
Starting with the premise that every creation was made perfect and has its place in the universe, just as God planned it, there is nothing that would be more pleasing to God than man coming full circle, back to him from where he started. This part, according to scripture, would be fulfilled ultimately at the return of the Messiah when all of mankind is finally reconciled with their maker (Shelly, & Miller, 2006).
Creation and Birth: God made the earth and all that is in it, and when He was done, He was pleased with his creation, because it was perfect. This is the same joyfulness that fills the hearts of new parents at the birth of their new baby who, though born in sin, has not yet been tainted by the vagaries of earthly life. The same hope that God had for man to dwell in shalom and dominate his environment, is the same hope parents have for their children to grow, be great, and make a success of their lives.

The growth of the Spirit Self toward Perfection
progresses through the Three orderly stages
ordained by the Divine Principle of Creation.
A spirit in the Formation stage of life is called a Form Spirit;
in the Growth stage, a Life Spirit;

Divine Creation: A Christian Theory of the Person - The Imago Dei
Introduction
It is time to unpack the story a little bit more. The Bible begins by telling where the world and
its inhabitants came from. It asserts that God created all of it, simply by his word. Words are
powerful. There is an old saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never
hurt me." One's personal experience and the Bible itself (Prov. 18:21a: "Death and life are in
the power of the tongue." ESV) can be used to debunk this proposition. Human words are
powerful, and much more so, God's. The first few verses in the Bible reveal a Being that has the
capacity to create realities simply by imagining and speaking them into existence. Creation ex
nihilo is the Latin expression meaning, "making something out of nothing."
So, this creative Being is the first cause of all things, who is himself uncaused, in other words
eternal—he has no beginning and no end. (By the way, if this is true, it answers several very
difficult philosophical questions: How did something come from nothing? How is the something
that individuals know—universe, earth, ourselves—ordered rather than disordered? Where
does a sense of morality and reason and beauty and love come from?)
The biblical God created light and space, and then the earth and the plants and animals, and
then the symphony rises to a crescendo as he creates a man and then a woman. What is unique
about the biblical God, compared to most of the other gods on offer during the time Genesis
was written, is that he seems to be so kindly disposed toward people. The earth, from its
atmosphere to the seasons to the plants and animals all seem to be form-fitted by God, just
right for the man and the woman. Scientists call this the anthropic principle: the earth, sun,
moon, atmosphere, plants, and weather seem to be perfectly fine-tuned to sustain human life
(Barrow & Tipler, 1988).
In addition, the biblical story says that God made the man and the woman for a particular
reason: to serve as his representatives, as benevolent caretakers over everything he created.
So, toward that end he gives them instructions about what they are to do: have children,
multiply and fill the earth, take good care of it, and basically oversee everything. Then in a very
interesting twist in the story, he tells them there is one thing they should not do: Everything on
the planet is for them except for one tree, which they must not eat from because if they do they
will die (Gen. 1-3). This discussion will resurface in the Topic 3 Overview.
The Imago Dei
Read Psalm 8: How does this Psalm teach you to think about people? What is the psalmist's
response to his realizations about people and God? How should this psalm impact how you go

Creation is the foundation of God’s saving plan and the beginning of salvation history which culminates in Christ (cf. CCC 280). Christian Faith teaches that all three Divine Persons act together as ONE GOD in creating, redeeming and sanctifying.

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
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.

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.

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.

What are your thoughtsThe Christian narrative is a rich chro.docx
1. What are your thoughts??
The Christian narrative is a rich chronicle of events as captured
in the Holy Bible, from the time of creation, through the fall,
redemption, and finally restoration (GCU, 2020). When we
consider that the perfect life God had purposed for man at
creation fell apart following the original Adam sin, when man
disobeyed God’s instruction. it marked the genesis of the
suffering, sickness, and death that is the reality of our world
today. Throughout the arc of this narrative, one can decipher
some parallels with certain aspects of our mortal existence
plagued by sickness and disease, and through this perspective,
we can discover God’s nature and his purpose and plan for our
lives.
Starting with the premise that every creation was made perfect
and has its place in the universe, just as God planned it, there is
nothing that would be more pleasing to God than man coming
full circle, back to him from where he started. This part,
according to scripture, would be fulfilled ultimately at the
return of the Messiah when all of mankind is finally reconciled
with their maker (Shelly, & Miller, 2006).
Creation and Birth: God made the earth and all that is in it, and
when He was done, He was pleased with his creation, because it
was perfect. This is the same joyfulness that fills the hearts of
new parents at the birth of their new baby who, though born in
sin, has not yet been tainted by the vagaries of earthly life. The
same hope that God had for man to dwell in shalom and
dominate his environment, is the same hope parents have for
their children to grow, be great, and make a success of their
lives.
