 Let's pray. Father, we thank you. Lord, thank you for this day. Thank you for this time. Lord, we come to this session into your mighty hand, God. We pray for God. Lord, your plans, your thoughts, your ideas. And I pray that you would, Lord, just move things in us, stir up things in us, Father God. You know, as we, Lord, talk about these topics, talk about what needs to be done. I pray that you will make firm, Lord, and write these things, establish things in our hearts, God. You want to thank you. We give you all the praise and all the glory. In Jesus' master's name, we pray. Amen. Amen. Okay, let me just share the Google sheet. Okay, here we go. Okay. So, yeah, say some question. Kung, yeah, I know you came in a little late. So you could, you could take time till tomorrow morning, Kung. Yeah, you can go watch the videos of the previous sessions. I don't know if you've already done that. And you can take time till tomorrow morning about the topic. And more importantly, the description as well. Right? Okay, I'm just going through some of these things, the topic. Okay, I look at Maggie Maggie's topic, The Church of the Future and its relevance in the future world. Yes, we discussed it. And yes, that looks good. Asharani, stirring up the fire of God in your heart. You know, I, I did look at your, you know, the, the, the, what you'd send, the document that you'd send. I'm not really sure if it's, you know, if it's substantial, you'll have substantial, you know, if for a four month research, right, stirring up the fire of God in your heart. Could you talk about this, Asha? You want to tell us a little more about this topic, please? Is Asha online? Yes, Master. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. Basically, as Christians, they lose the flame for God. And to stir it up to make it, we have to have the right fuse, such as the, having the heart to like, sometimes we grow like we lose our time in that. How our life is not really, our flame literally goes out when we are not literally stirring up the fire, which is worshiping our God, having the word of God in our heart. Yeah, but it'll be good if you can add some more to it, Asha, because it's, it's a, you know, it's a substantial amount of time. And this is, this is nice for an assignment paper, but if it's a research paper, it needs to be something more. Yeah, please do add to it, right. And maybe you have, you can also, just like Kung, you can take time till tomorrow morning, nine o'clock, to rework this and submit it, please. Yeah. So stirring up the fire of God in your heart, you know, yeah, it's, it's a nice topic for an assignment, for a sermon, but for a research paper, it needs to be something more, I feel, from what you've shared, it'll be very limited. So unless you have something more that, I mean, we meet on Thursday, also we can talk, right, and we meet in college. So yeah, just think about this, right. Okay, yeah, no worries. Yeah, no worries. I'm just trying to understand, like, so there's no problem, but try to add. Okay. So Siddhant, the various languages in the Bible. So yeah, can you just tell what is it that you want to talk about? Siddhant, Siddhant connected. Yeah, Siddhant. So I see that different languages in which the Bible was written. So, you know, broadly, you're talking about the Hebrew and the Greek. Is there anything more? So what exactly is the nature? Can you, would you be able to unmute and speak? Are you in Bible college? Would you be able to share, please? Just give me a minute, sir. Yeah. So it's about the history of Hebrew and Greek. Okay. Yeah, it's like, how the Greek transformed into the Arambic, then a few part of Bible is written Arambic, some prophetic books. So that, so what, okay, so you're talking about the language, talking about, so what are you going to, you know, what is the objective of it? Most kind of like history of that period, the culture. The culture of the people. And history of the language. I think you need to think through this, Siddhant. Yes, sir. Yeah, you need to think through what the scope of the whole thing is, you know, we've already taken a bit of a bit of time, but you need to think through what exactly you're going to research. And why you want to do this, you know, it's, yeah, that's what I'm just trying to understand. I know what is the biblical perspective. Of course, it's, it's great learning to talk about this, these languages and so on. But yeah, yeah, if you can just explain, that's why I just wanted to know if you can just explain, okay, what all you're going to talk about? What is this whole research on? It's related to culture of those people, those times. So it's a, it's a vast time period, right? Yeah, you're looking at centuries. You're looking at millennia actually. Yeah, so how much depth will you go into, you know, you talk about, yeah, you just think about it, you know, talking about, you know, several millennia. Yeah. So the access to that information, and how exactly what exactly are you presenting? You know, you get what I'm saying, you know, it's, it's, if you look at it, it's, it's a vast thing. And then, and I'm just thinking, okay, it's good. It's a, it's historical, et cetera. But there will be some value. I mean, this is just my opinion. Value if you give a biblical perspective of it, you know, to tie all that together to, to conclude a manner that's, you know, with your personal thoughts on tying all this together. Otherwise, it'll be a, you know, it'll be a, okay, this person said this, this person said that and just presenting this is how, and it's a vast timeframe that you're looking at. Yeah, please do think through this. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. Jesus in the Jewish festivals, that's, okay, say is just one more quick thought, you know, please use the names that you have actually registered in the Bible college. So what would happen is, you know, some difficulty that I faced, I mean, this, this is for the other batch is that you know, your name comes in a certain way, when I look at the, you know, the way it is listed. And when we have these tests and assignments, when you submit certain things, you use another version of your name, maybe, which doesn't match up with the registered name, and we're finding it difficult to kind of see, okay, who is who. So I've been trying to, you know, work through that. So please use the same name that you have registered as for the course, right? Just a request. Okay. So Jesus in the Jewish festival. So, so say, would you like to just say online? So would you like to just expand on that, please? Yeah, yes, Pastor. Yeah. So, so basically, after the topic I suggested, I found out, yes, you're right. We have dealt with something like that related to the cross covenant. So I started to think further, and then I came up with this. And that's because for some time, I have actually just been interested with trying to understand the Jewish context, or the Jewish context, basically, as related to the Bible. And so that has kind of been my fascination for a while. So I said, oh, this is a good time, maybe, to go deeper. So that's why the topic Jesus in the Jewish festivals came in. So the idea, basically, the objectives, I basically just want to, it's just to show that all festivals celebrated by the Jewish people, you know, at the end of the day, all points to Jesus Christ. To a large extent, many of the Jewish people still observe these festivals, either rejecting or ignoring the fact that Jesus, the Messiah has already come. So the whole idea is to investigate, see the significance of all these festivals that God himself instituted and instructed the Jewish people to celebrate, and then see how it ties to the calendar system, which was established in their own time, and then all together tied or pointing it to Jesus Christ to show the significance of why all these festivals were instituted by God. So that's kind of the draft for me. Okay, so the centrality of Christ and all these Jewish feasts and customs as well. That should be interesting. Go ahead. Thank you, sir. So Pratik, reaching the unreached, is Pratik online? Can you just help us understand this, please? Pratik, reaching the unreached. Okay, he's not in class, I think. Fine, we'll just move on. Okay, so Louis, AI and the end-time revival of the 21st Century Church, is Louis online? No? Oh yeah, Louis, could you just share with us? AI and the end-time revival, what is the nature of, like, what is the direction? Okay, I'm not able to hear, let's just... Okay, let's check. Thayesh, could you tell us the Bible standpoint pertaining to same-sex principles? I think it's kind of self-explanatory, but if you could just explain to us what is the scope of what you want to share, Thayesh. Okay, Rupa, so I see your comment. That's fine. Yeah, okay. So, Thayesh, are you able to unmute and share about your topic, please? Also, could you repeat, please? Yeah, we just wanted to understand the scope of the research. I see your topic, which is the Bible's biblical standpoint pertaining to same-sex practices, so I just wanted to understand, like, what exactly would be the scope? What do you hope to research and present? Okay, sure. Well, I was looking, as it says, the biblical standpoint of what does the Bible really speak about same-sex practices and marriages, so I will present those points and draw a conclusion from that. Yeah, it would be good to also do some research on, okay, I know it's as old as, you know, a sin itself, right? Talking about same-sex, I mean, the sin and the aberrant nature of it in the word we see right from days of Noah, so we see that, but also it'll be good to see how it is in the, you know, how it is affected today's society and the consequence of that. Okay, it's one thing to, okay, share from the word, saying that, okay, this is what the word of God says, but it'll be good if you can say, okay, this is what is prevalent in society and also just a suggestion, you know, to see what is the consequence of that, you know, what is it, is the fabric of society unraveling, you know, is anything happening that is, you know, that's really destroying society? You know, it's, so it'd be good if you can talk about that as well. Okay, that is a good idea. I started in my first draft in the introduction to see how it has impact now over, what is it, 50-something countries, how they have started approving. I did that in the first draft so far, just giving a global perspective of where some of what is happening. So now that you mention it, this is a good idea. I think I will include that as well. Yeah, and also, I think we can also talk about, like, what does science talk about it, you know, because these are things which are, if you want to call it that, the doctrines of, you know, the same-sex philosophy, you know, so what is it, what is it that, what is the reference point for this, you know, I think if you can mention that also, that'll help, that'll be of value. Okay, okay, thank you. Okay, Abinas, Hebrew names of God in the Old Testament. Yeah, Abinas, are you in the class? Yes, fast enough. Yeah, okay. So the Hebrew names of God, now, we have actually studied it in our foundations, right? We're going to talk about characteristics of God, nature of God. We talk about the Hebrew names as, I think it's quite an exhaustive name, the why, and the incident, which happens because of it. I mean, the whole, you know, the incident or the story, the account behind how God introduced himself and, you know, the I AM, the names of God. So what exactly do you want to do different from that, Abinas? What I was going through is like, in the Old Testament, there are several Hebrew names of God in the Bible, but my objective was like, where does it come from, what are the Bible references, and why it is important to know the names of God. So we have actually studied that, Abinas. I think we've already done it. So one of the objectives is that we will not cover subjects that we have already covered in the Bible college as a part of our course, either past or present, right? So this is, to some extent, we have actually covered it, you know, the names of God. So I think you need to relook at the topic, Abinas. Yeah, so you need to, I think it'll be better if you change it, something else or you're doing it from a totally different angle. That's why I just want to understand what is it that we're doing because it's something that's already been covered, right? Okay, so you please rework it. Okay, so hope William, thanks, Abinas. So hope William, how addiction persecutes youth in church? Okay, so there's hope online, hope is not online. Okay, okay, next. Prabhakar, you can just go to the Google sheet and you can just type it in Prabhakar. As we are just going through this, you can enter it in, please. Okay, so Harrison, identity crisis, identity crisis. So Harrison, if you're here, could you, oh, you don't have laptop with you. Okay, so we'll just, that's fine, no problem, we can do it later. So Harrison, are you in class? I'm sorry, I'm just switching between the chat and the chat box and the list, name list. Okay, Harrison is out there, right? Okay, Tharun, what do you like to share? Advancing technology and God and God. Is it similar lines with what Louis, AI and the end time? I don't know what he has in mind. Yeah, you can just share, go ahead, please. Louis, I haven't seen at the end time revival of the 21st century. Yeah, no, no, actually, what I'm looking at is like I picked up five different advanced technologies. And as we explore and where we stand as a world on those technologies and see through the lens of the world, like for example, the general intelligence blockchain or driverless cars or big data analytics. So I would be briefing what the technology is and as we learn more, where do we stand currently? And when we reach the pinnacle of it, we see that there is a standard that God has set on where it can reach and it exposes God and his wisdom as we learn more about those technologies. Okay, okay. So the topic again says advancing technologies and God encounters. Okay, so you're talking about these technologies, what it is, and also how you're just tying it back to how it actually reveals certain aspects of God, is it? Like certain Yeah, attributes of God and the standards that God has set. In fact, we look back into creation to learn things. For example, when we say big data analytics, the amount of data that we are processing for, let's say, credit card transactions, millions of transactions, which are happening per second and the kind of the capacity and the sizes of devices that we use are so huge. But in the creation, we see that, you know, a brain of a dragonfly can actually process about 17,000 images per microsecond. And that's a very high standard that our processors, the size and the capacity, we are far away from there. So the God standard is much higher. But as we narrow down and advance into this technology, we only see that this is something that God has done long ago and we match up to the wisdom of God. Okay, nice. So can you, you want to change it to like something about creation then, like rather than God encounters? I mean, I just a suggestion. Yeah, I'm still thinking through the topic. I know I didn't raise it well. But I had a couple of other topics like technology and in the theological lens and things like that I was looking at. But I might change it. Like, as I think through and as the paper comes together, I might, I will change it. Okay, because I'm just thinking like when you use it as a hashtag, no, it'll just like directly lead to the thing. So it's good to kind of be specific, I think, like what it leads to. I think that will help. Yeah, but yeah, very interesting. So you're going to talk about five advancing technologies. Yes. And, and God encounters. I've also thought about like blockchain. I'm not, I'm not connecting to anything in creation. But again, the very essence of blockchain is to establish the moral framework and to hold people accountable, so that we will be able to authenticate things well. So that's, that something comes with the change of heart, which, which is again, the work of Christ in man. So that, that, that is one thing that that and another one when it comes to tracking everything is not something that connects directly. But otherwise, they are technologies that expose that, you know, the goddess and set a standard. Like it's, we only, it increases our knowledge of what God has said for us. Okay. Yeah. So if it's not just limited to creation, I guess you can frame it in that way. Talks about the image of God, kind of attribute of God probably. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Interesting. Thank you. Thanks. Okay. So Rupa said that she'll do it late. She's, she's traveling, but we had a discussion on her topic, creating a home away from home about about open home and ministering about how home's house is being a place of ministry and also the downside of it, you know, to do it, how to do it well, etc. So it's okay. So Maxon is Maxon there. Maxon is going back to false prophets. So Maxon, you framed that. We discussed it last class, but you framed the topic a little, I mean, the title of it a little differently, right? False, because you're talking about in today's church and that's what we discussed last class. So kindly rephrase it a little differently, because that's what will go as the title on the report that you submit. So it'll be good if you can like specify what exactly it is about the false prophets. It's fine, you know, to talk about the dangers, to talk about how it is in present day church and all that. You can change it later than just saying that you can actually, according to the scope of it, right? And whether it's the mainline church, whether it's whatever, you know, you are in in Africa or in a particular country, I think that will help, right, rather than false prophets. And so obviously it's a warning. It's a heads up to the believer that these are false prophets. These are false, false ways of doing ministry, right? But also, I think you just need to, yeah, you just need to, you know, in your conclusion, okay, this is what the Word of God says, right? You're giving the biblical perspective in a way the antidote for what is, okay, this is the ill or the thing that is happening wrong, whereas this is what it is, this is what scripture says. So we need to present that as well. Okay, Asha's question is, can you show me an example of a research paper? Yeah, Asha, the thing is, yeah, once you've, you know, finalized on the topic, we can, you know, do that when we come to that. Yeah. So, because I don't want us to be kind of swayed by others, what others have done. So yeah, I can definitely share that. Okay. Understanding the relationship between Judaism and Christianity. So actually, like we discussed last time, I mean, after the class, we discussed this. So Judaism and Christianity, so you're talking about the impact of, you know, Christianity in Judaism and vice versa about talking about messianic Jews, we discussed that. So please change the title to that. I know you need to think through whatever that you're, you know, covering and kind of change that tweak it to define it a little bit, please. Yeah. Okay, So Prabhakar, perseverance in prevailing Christians, persecution and religious atrocities in India. Maybe it can be reworded, right? Religious persecution. So when you say religious atrocities, it's not just Christian, right? It's not just against Christians, but it's to other communities as well. Religious atrocities. I was directing towards Christians only pastor. But yes, actually, I was trying to figure, I mean, add certain minority religion, minority group of people. So it is overall certain some points I'll like to add, like, getting the same treatment, some of the points which I want to carry. But if it is like, it should be limited to like Christian persecution. So I'll change it to like, yeah, maybe just drop the word religious. And because the word religious refers to other religions also. So you can just say persecution and atrocities. Christian persecution, persecution against persecution and atrocities against the Christian community would be I think accurate. And also when you say perseverance in prevailing. So you're actually talking about how to persevere through this, right? That is what you mean. That's one of the main motto, like how to deal with it, like how to overcome all. Yeah, so probably the best way to put it across is to say, the Christian response to prevailing persecution and atrocities. So when you say response, you're talking about perseverance, talking about, you know, praying, how you should actually so you can use the word response, the church's response or the believer's response to, you know, you can use that those words. So you can do that. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So Chris, does alcohol have a place in the life of a believer in the current times? Okay. So I think we discussed that. And so I guess you'll talk about, yeah, you said you'll talk about your own personal experience also, you can present that. But let that be, you know, a smaller percentage compared to, you know, the research of the whole thing. I'm talking about the negative impact of alcohol in the life of a believer. What the Bible says, and also, yeah, different cultures, I guess, you could even go that, take that route, like well, certain cultures tolerated. So you could even address that. Okay. So that's fine. Yeah. Then Kennedy, handling spiritual and physical burnout among pastors in ministry will lead us, yeah. So that is good. So just one, I think it's a broad area. So when you present findings, it's good to talk about real lives. And you don't have to really mention names, but actually in your research to find out from pastors from ministry leaders, if you can talk and see how it has impacted them. I think it'll be closer to home. If you can talk about, maybe in your own, I mean, wherever you are, in your own city or in, you know, if you can add that as well, it'll be good. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, Chris, I'll thank you then. Yeah, Kennedy. So we'll, you can do that. Yeah. So that'll be good. You know, if you can get first hand knowledge, you know, people whom you know, and if we are sharing about burnout in what way it was a burnout, that'll be really good. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Then come to Elisha, the role of media in the spiritual development of teens. So Elisha, would you like to just explain that please? Pastor, I will be focusing on the rule that the new media and how the church can use the media to advance the support the spiritual development of teenagers in our churches so that how we can develop content through the media to support the spiritual development since media has become a very common tool for everyone in our generation. So that is basically what I'll be looking at. What, how, what exists so far has impacted and consider if there's still a gap that the church can also set in to close that gap to advance the spiritual development of teenagers within our denominations. Okay. Yeah. So you can talk about, I guess you can talk about spiritual development, what it involves, you know, what you mean by spiritual development, of course. One is, you know, spiritual maturity, Christlikeness, and we're also talking about spirituality, like, you know, development of the human spirit, like the spirit man being edified, discovering the gifts. You know, all that is spiritual development, right? So, so when you look at media, and you can also categorize media into, you know, everything, right, right from today's social media, maybe should be things that people connect together, and then other other forms of media. So have you mentioned social media? No, it's a, it's media, so media can also be print, media can also be other forms through which people receive information, right? So, so you can specify, like, what media that you really want to talk about, is it print old school, or is it like, so you can specify that and categorize it, because people do use print as well, you know, but it's just that it's, it's in, you know, in, it's Kindle, it's digital, but it's still, you know, in that way. So you can actually talk about Kindle and any other form of digital, I mean, print digital media, I don't know how to word it, what do you call that, I guess, ebooks and so on, audio books, right? So you can include that as well. Then of course, you know, Instagram and TikTok and YouTube and all that. So we could talk about that. It'll be good to talk about the downside of it. It'll be good to talk about the limitations, right? And it'll also be good to present some working models, like in a sense, if you know of churches or ministries and get information about who's using it and who's using it successfully, some such as stories. And also, I'm sure, you know, all these methods also have limitations, right? There's only so much. So should be supplemented with, of course, you know, man-human interaction, like people. So that also, you know, so that's a gap, right? When it comes to media wave, one is the actual human interaction, of course, it happens online, but then the actual, you know, person-to-person real interaction, which is absent. So how to supplement that, right? So that would also be useful. So the scope of research, again, you can fine-tune it, you know, are you including? What kind of media are you including? Also, spiritual development, think about it. What all entails spiritual development? Christlikeness, spiritual hunger gives knowledge of the word. So in spiritual media, what? What is spiritual media? I mean, sorry, in social media and other, you know, electronic form. What can it really contribute to? And what it can't? And I think it'd be good to give a realistic picture there. Yeah. I hope that helps. Yes. Yes, Pasta. Thank you very much. Okay. Okay. So, yeah, so we've gone through this. I'm sorry about that confusion about, you know, the draft. So please take one more day. Please feel free to present it on the stream, you know, on online students. E-learning, please do post it in the discussion, right? In your discussion, you could just add it, or you could email me, the email ID. Also, I will post on the discussion. This is for E-learning students, so you could use that. And I will go through it, right? Go through the draft. Okay. Any questions or can we wrap up today's? Okay, Abhishek. I thought a title like Masayani Judaism and Modern Interpretation of an Ancient Faith. Tell me again. You put it here, is it? Have you? Okay, I will put it in the chat. Yeah. So, Masayani, I'm sorry, I can just put it. Masayani Judaism. Okay. A Modern Interpretation of an Ancient Faith. A Modern Interpretation of an Ancient Faith. Okay. Okay. Modern Interpretation. So, is it just an interpretation of something that is old or has it really gone through change, you know, right? So, the fact is, like you were telling me, yes, people have accepted Christ. There is, you know, the growing, you know, the percentage of people in the Jewish community who are experiencing salvation, transformation, etc. So, they do hold on to certain Jewish customs, but really, they have experienced those other Masayani Jews, right? So, it's not just an interpretation of an ancient faith, right? So, I don't know if you can use that. Yeah. It's fine. You're almost there. Sorry? Study of the, like, intersection of Judaism, Christianity. So, that would be just common points, commonalities. Like, what is prophesied as a reality? Okay, just go with that. I was like, you think about it. You post it. Let me take a look. Yeah. Put it on the Google Sheet. Let's take a look. Okay. But, see, I know basically what you want to do. So, that's fine. It's just that you need to, the topic should actually reflect that research. It's very important. It can't be, you know, it can't be saying one thing and the research be something else or you, you know, promise, because the topic promises what the research is about. And when a person reads it, it has to fulfill it. That's the only thing. That's why, you know, we're just talking about refining the topic and, you know, doing that. It can't be two different things. It can't be heading off in a different direction. That's the only reason. Right? Okay. Prabhakar, you want to say something and also Maxon. Yes, Pastor. I want to say, actually, I was thinking just to focus on prevailing Christian persecution and atrocity in India. Like, how to do it? It's a response that we already have in, you know, by most people when you have audit, but I want to do more research about the current contribution or throughout the history of India, like whatever happened in the history of India, regardless of the centuries. So shall I put it like a prevailing Christian persecution and atrocity in India across centuries? And if that is what you're going to be studying, you can do that. Or, you know, you can just say prevailing persecution and atrocities prevailing in today's church and the church's response. And I think that'll be fine. Yeah. And then also, like we discussed, you know, I think you can talk about, you know, how church has been responding. And then maybe if there are success, I mean, some not success stories, testimonies that can be shared. And also if there are, you know, like the solace, the persecutor, experiencing transformation in the process of persecuting the church, I think if those can be, if there's some research done, and that can be presented also, that would make it even more interesting. In this climate, in this environment, the persecutor himself or herself undergoing change. Or if you can get that, that'll also be fine. Yeah. Sure. I'll do that. Thank you. Okay. So, Maxon, your question or thoughts? Yeah. Of course, I just want to ask you, like we meet once a week. So I think this time, when someone need your maybe like advice assistance in the middle of the week, which is the best media to reach out to you? Yeah, I think you can just email me, please. You can use either of those email IDs. You can just email me. Like on the stream, I actually, I was, I was traveling, so I didn't check it. But you can email midweek, you can email me. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Because I actually, Abhishek emailed and Rupa also emailed, and we kind of had a discussion about their topic this past week. So, so yeah, you can email me. Yeah, we could do that. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So that's, we'll let's wrap up for today. All the very best. These are good topics. What you have, you know, what you've shared. Just go a little deeper in what seems to be, you know, it's a broad category, you know, you just go a little deeper and it'll be good. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Thank you so much. We'll, we'll stop here. All the very best. God bless you guys. Bye-bye. Thank you, Pastor. God bless you. Bye-bye.
