Hi everyone, Joe for Jazby's Case Breaks.com. Happy new release Wednesday, coming out to you with 2022 Panini Impeccable WWE. Yeah, got a little WWE in on this. Three box, random hit break, number one. It's only a 15 spot break, doing all three boxes. We're gonna pop open the case, pull all the hits, and then I'm gonna type in all the hits in that section right there, the hit list for randomizer, and then we'll pause the video, we'll combo up some of the base cards with some of the other stuff, maybe some relics or whatever, or low level autos, and then to make a list of 15, and then we'll randomize your names, and then put in the hits in this list, randomize them hits, match you up with something, and we'll see what happens. There's the case right here. Thanks everybody. Where's my knife? Yes, B-Snipp, one of them filled. If you look at the schedule that's dropped in the chat by Nightbot, you'll see that it's on the schedule, and then we post the next one box break. Always keep an eye on that schedule, everybody. It's very helpful. All right, so let's see what we got. We'll just type in the hits and the order that they are, the order that they are pulled. Metal card here, Edge, I know nothing of WWE, so wrestling fans, bear with me here. I know two wrestlers. Stone Cold Sea of Austin, and The Rock, and Cactus Jack. That's it. All right, so there's Triple H, 50 out of nine. I guess I know Triple H. There's Xavier Woods, definitely do not know this guy, 32 out of 49. I know, I also know the guys that go, oh, you didn't know? You asked better, call somebody. Those guys, I know those guys. I don't know who this is, Dominic Mysterio. Mysterio is a villain in Spider-Man, 33 out of 99. That's true, I do know Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant. I don't know anyone else past that. Maybe, was Mr. T in WWE at some point? So here's the guy from the villain in Spider-Man. Here's Road Dog, 13 out of 25. Is 24 out of 25, Sami Zayn, Zayn. I guess I do know John. I guess, I don't know John Cena as a wrestler. I guess I know him as a guy in commercials. There's a redemption, and there is Dolph Ziggler, two out of 11, not to be confused with Dolph Lundgren, who played Drago in Ruin Rocky. I think these do pretty well on a secondary market, though. And the redemption was, is John Cena, I know this guy. Superstar autographs John Cena, this must sell well. Sign your cards, John Cena. And then there's Drew McIntyre, eight out of 10. I guess these will be kind of out of order because they'll be comboed with some other stuff. All right, that's box one, box two. Maybe, what about the guy that goes, I'm the private jet flying, limo riding.  What's who's that guy? That's the case hit right there. All right, there's Ricochet, Ricochet? 29 out, Rick Flair, that's right, Rick Flair. There's John Cena right here, 45 out of 99. There is Trish Stratus. I drive Dodge Stratus. Remember that? It's not from WWE. 40 out of 49. And then we've got another metal autograph card. It's Drew McIntyre, Stainless Stars. What's the big hits in this? I guess the John Cena autograph that we pulled, are there old school wrestlers in here as well? 37 out of 99. We've got Elton Prince, indelible ink, 38 out of 99. There's Lash Legend, 13 out of 99. Stratus is nice, a popular diva. Who was that one girl who was like a, who was like a, who dressed like a 90s era candy raver? But then like, turned heel and she became like a villain? Oh, I know this guy, Brett the Hitman Hart. 97 out of 99. That's right, Will Ferrell, you guys got it. I drive Dodge Stratus. And there's Triple H, three out of 25. The other wrestler I know is the Maniac. The Maniac from, it's always sunny in Philadelphia in the early, the early seasons. And we have Solo Sikoa. Some fine, fine silver, 21 out of 35. A little slider box here for this guy. Stand by. Maybe it was Alexa Bliss. All right, that's box two, final box. And then I'll pause the video and we'll type in all of these hits and figure out some combos and go from there. All right, there's Brock Lesnar. All right, I guess I've heard of Brock Lesnar. Okay, so maybe I know some more people than I think. Trying to dig deep on some, some WW knowledge for you. Did you know, and I guess most of you do if you're in this break, Freddie Prince Jr. was a writer for WWF or E, whenever that was, but he was a writer for that, for a few seasons I wanna say, he's a big wrestling fan. We got Bruno Samartino, 22 out of 49. Old school guy from the 60s and 70s. We got Alba Fire, 26 out of 99. There is 53 out of 99, Greg Valentine. And we got Rhea Ripley, 31 out of 99, Indelible Ink, Fabian Eichner, Indelible Ink, 72 out of 99. I think, I think, yeah, it's a random bit of trivia, right? Snip. Isn't there like a raw or a WrestleMania or something like that coming to SoFi stadium this year, next year? It's Jordan Devlin, Indelible Ink, 77 out of 99.  I should go. I should take a big sign that says like, Jaspie's 316 or something like that. Oh, I know Becky Lynch. There's Becky Lynch. That's probably a big one, right? Stainless Stars Autograph. And then there's a base on the bottom here, and that is Rhea Ripley, 35 out of 35. Yes, Becky Lynch is the man. I think she's in a sports center commercial too. All right, there you go, gang. So that was box three, that's box two, that's box one. We're gonna pause the video, when we come back, we'll see if there's, we'll have the hits typed in, figure out some combos, and we'll run that randomizer. So stick around, be right back. All right, welcome back everybody. So with the help of my colleague, Nick, who comboed this up for us, so big thanks to him for doing that, I know nothing of this stuff. So it would have taken me about an hour and a half to look at values and go through all this sort of stuff. So thanks to Nick for helping me out there. So we combo them all up, so they end up being 15 spots, so there you have it. There's the combo right there, looks like Riffer, who I think knows what he's talking about, says, seems like Nick did a good job there. Okay, so there's approval there, we'll have to go with it. I did a count, so there's 27 hits total that are all comboed up, and there are 27 hits right over there, and it's a 15 spot break, so there's 15 spots right there. You can see the number in the bottom right hand corner. So let's gather all those names here, put them into this blank list, stretch that out a little bit there, there we go. There are the 15 folks there getting into the action, or just a handful of folks getting all the 15 spots. Edward, Mark, Josh, Greg, David, thank you very much. Appreciate it. We'll put all the results of the randomizer in here. So thanks everyone for getting in, appreciate it. Let's roll it, let's randomize it. Six and a three, nine times for names, nine times for the hits. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine. Got Edward, down to Edward. And six and a three, nine times for the hits. One, perfect. Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and once more, ninth and final time. After nine, there you go. We got the Dolph Ziggler Autograph up there, all the way down to the Rhea Ripley Indelible Ink Auto plus the Eichner Indelible Auto put together. And here's how it shakes out for everybody. So Edward, you got the Dolph Ziggler Autograph, two out of 11, David with the Drew McIntyre Stainless Autograph plus the Bruno base. Mark with a solo C-CoA silver, that silver piece, plus a triple H base card. Mark, you also get the Lash Legend Superstars Auto plus the Alba Fire Base. Josh with the Trisha Trish Stratus, Stainless Steel's Auto plus the John Cena base. And Mark with this group of hits right there. You get the Becky Lynch plus the Edge Stainless Stars card, the Greg Valentine Immortal Ink, Rhea Ripley base, the Brett the Hitman Heart Immortal Ink Autograph, the Dominic Mysterio Relic and Autograph plus the Brock Lesnar Stainless Stars card, the Metal Card. David with the Jordan Devlin Indelible Ink plus the Xavier Woods base. Mark with the Road Dog and the Ricochet and the John Cena Superstar Autograph Redemption. Greg, you get the Elton Prince plus the triple H base. You also get the Sam Zane and the Drew McIntyre base out of 10. And then we're the Rhea Ripley Indelible Ink Auto and the Fabian Eichner Indelible Auto as well, 72 out of 99. There you go gang. I'm Joe for jaskiescasebreaks.com. Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us and I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye bye.


Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE. Covering InterConnect 2017, brought to you by IBM. Okay, welcome back everyone. We're here live in Las Vegas, the Mandalay Bay for IBM InterConnect 2017. It's theCUBE coverage. I'm John Furrier, my co-host Dave Vellante. Our next guest is our famous CUBE alumni, Tanmay, back to theCUBE.  Yes, welcome back. Thank you, I'm very glad to be back on theCUBE. And yes, of course, as I said, I'm working on many new projects with artificial intelligence and of course IBM Watson, including ones that are provided by Darwin ecosystem. And of course we're working on this really interesting project called a cognitive story, which you will be seeing more about on my talks on Tuesday and Wednesday. And the cognitive story is basically this collaboration between IBM Darwin ecosystem, not rocket science and me. So basically we're working towards really using the power of cognitive in order to change people's lives in a positive way. So that's what I'm doing at the Darwin ecosystem generally with IBM Watson and AI. Last year we had a great chat. I remember talking about algorithms, the software, super fun. What's changed in the past year? Give us the update on you and two, what's changed in the code? Definitely. What are some of the things you're working on? Yeah, sure. So since last year, first of all, a lot has changed. A lot of new trends have emerged in the general topic of technology, like cyber security, something that people are starting to take a lot more seriously now with things like AI and IBM Watson starting to be incorporated in with that. And of course though, really from my side, what I've mainly been doing is not, I've actually started to work not only with IBM Watson's cognitive abilities and not only the cognitive capabilities provided by these services, but also my own custom services powered by neural networks and other machine learning algorithms. Just for example, the cognitive story is powered by my own custom coded neural networks and that's why of course I've been given the designation of Algorithmus because I love to work with algorithms, find to them, and of course design them. So that's actually what's been going on for the past year, but mainly I guess you could say now my real focus is on how we can use artificial intelligence and cognitive computing in order to first of all amplify and really augment human capability and of course how we can use it to change people's lives in a positive way, especially in fields like healthcare where we can save people's lives with this technology where we can make people's lives easier with this technology, just for example, what IBM Watson is doing for people with autism and how it's helping them with the applications that it provides, what IBM Watson's doing for the elderly in India with the new Chintu robot that IBM Watson is creating and so much that Watson's doing with healthcare, that's really what I'm focused in with cognitive computing in general. What are some of the algorithms that you've been working on, what's the intent? Sure, well I've actually been working on a lot of different algorithms, mainly in the AI space and of course how we can create neural networks to understand brainwave patterns and you'll be seeing more of that on Tuesday and Wednesday with the cognitive story. But I've also been working of course on algorithms that I've already created, as I said, Ask Tanmay, you probably remember that from last year, the NOQA system, I've been working more on Ask Tanmay and in fact in June, in Developer Connective last year, I actually open sourced Ask Tanmay so of course I've been working on that, improving it about to release version three, which is really fun and of course since it's open sourced, I love to share my knowledge with this code so other people can learn from it and learn how to use this type of AI technology in their own applications as well. As a young next generation mobile, software mobile that you'll soon be, you're already one now, but you're still young but you've got a lot more ways to go but you're living in a great time because I wish I could be your age right now because machine learning is really hot right now and it's growing because of the cloud. The cloud gives you scale and compute power and there's also a cultural vibe going on around social good. So talk about machine learning, what you're excited about there specifically and some of the things that you see from your generation of developers around this desire to provide social good. Yeah, definitely, well I guess we should start off with really my main focus of interest in fact, as you said, are really cloud computing, cognitive computing and IoT because in their respective fields they are the next level of computing and in fact we're already starting to adopt them. Cloud computing has already been adopted on a huge scale, cognitive computing, we're getting there and IoT is again starting to be accepted by a lot of different people.  Exactly, exactly. So of course IoT is being used everywhere and so is cloud computing and cognitive. And so really what I've been focused on in the past year is first of all trying to get developers really interested in cognitive. But as you said, developers are really interested in doing social good with these technologies. And just imagine this, what we're doing with the cognitive story right now is we're basically, for example, I can't of course go into too much detail about this right now yet, but we are basically taking this cognitive services and we're allowing people who don't have the natural ability to be able to express themselves or communicate or move in any way really, to be able to express themselves and make their and communicate their decisions and communicate their emotion or whether or not they're comfortable and more through this cognitive system. And of course that's why it's so interesting because imagine, if you can't talk, imagine you know that, okay, I want to do this, but you're unable to express that, you're unable to communicate that to the people around you, that means you're quite literally trapped in your own body and having cognitive computing able to come in and allow you to communicate and create your own, I guess you could say, unique language using these brainwave patterns. That's something that I absolutely believe is I guess you could say the greatest gift ever to be able to give you the ability to communicate through artificial intelligence. That's really why I love working in the healthcare field. Now, am I right? You've written a book? Yes, actually. And it actually started from Last Interconnect. Last Interconnect I started and now I'm actually done writing my book called Hello Swift, iOS app programming for kids and other beginners. And it's actually currently available for pre-order on the publisher's website as well as lots of other bookstores online. And of course the final hard copy will be released soon. But basically this book is really targeted towards getting the youth and really kids interested in programming and specifically iOS programming through Swift. And of course, as you know, Swift is open source and I really support open source software. What are some of the cool things that young kids want in software these days? Because there is a lot, like I said, there's a tool chest of great stuff coming on, like composable software, Lego blocks, which people call Lego blocks. What are some of the cool things that kids want these days? Well, there are a lot of things. But I actually like to highlight the main way that I like to get the youth interested in coding. And it's by showing them something that they find really interesting. Like for example, something that they see in movies a lot. Like for example, artificial intelligence is the absolute perfect example of how you can have something like artificial intelligence that can get kids interested and the youth interested in these technologies like programming in order to start to get them programming because of course we need them to be very future. Well gaming and AI are too like sci-fi as AI, kind of it's cool, futuristic. And then gaming also is very interactive, immersion based. And in fact, that's why a lot of companies are starting to merge AI and games and of course virtual reality. Virtual reality is something else that kids and really everybody is really interested in nowadays. And in fact we are taking these AI technologies and incorporating them with these other technologies like gaming, with the virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality. And we're trying to create this really interesting mix especially for kids.  And that's really why we should be showing the youth that this is all around us, we need to start adopting these technologies. So last year I asked you the question, take us to the day in the life of 10 May where you had a discovery. So let's play that back this year, give us a time this year where you had a discovery, it could be super cool or maybe just a breakthrough in some small way. Sure. That was notable that you'd like to share. Yes. And it actually happened recently. And again, I'm going to take this back to just a few weeks ago actually, when I started working with, I mean I had actually been working with my own custom machine learning algorithms for quite some time since, just after last Interconnect actually, I started working with my own custom algorithms for machine learning. But a few weeks ago, I actually started working with those custom algorithms in the healthcare space. And one application that I created that I find actually quite interesting because of the capability it has to help doctors, and I'll tell you this in a moment, is that it's an application that can take 69 attributes about any patient, okay? And it can actually tell you if they have a hearing disorder and if so what's their hearing disorder. And the reason this is so great is because this can be of great help to audiologists, for example. And in fact I am actually in communication with an audiologist from the UK and I'm actually collaborating with him to try and see what this could hold in store for the future of audiology and the future of healthcare in general with artificial intelligence. Apart from that though, the Cognitive Story is another great project where of course I'm trying to combine machine learning with these extremely powerful capabilities that Watson provides in order to create a great mix in order to help people express themselves even though they don't have the natural ability to do so. So Tim, obviously you are a big supporter of open source. You said earlier you open source some of your algorithms asked handmade. What's been the response? Have you had contributors? Yes, actually. And that's the greatest part about open source because now the thing is, you see, let's just say there's some issues with Asked Handmade, this is general open source stuff. But now Asked Handmade is really, I guess you could say evolving much faster than I could ever have programmed it because there are many people coming to me collaborating with me, helping out, submitting issues, pull requests and more. And with Asked Handmade, especially now I'm actually about to release version 3.0 as well because I was able to get that help from the community. And of course, because of that, not only does the community help me, but I'm able to help the community by sharing my source code so that they can learn from that and build their own QA systems on top of it. Awesome, so give us the report card on Bluemix and Watson. And be fair now, I know you're IBM champion. Yes. Now IBM Bluemix and Watson, I can tell that especially Watson, it has evolved a lot since last Interconnect. Of course, the new services that they're providing like the natural language understanding, service and more. And really what I believe is that not only are they providing these new services, but they're also improving their existing services. Like the visual recognition service, how they're doing the image similarity, how they're improving their default classifier, how they are merging it with the alchemy vision services in order to make it even more powerful. And of course the new live training features that they're incorporating into visual recognition, how they're improving speech to text. And they're generally taking all of these Watson services that already exist and making them even more powerful so developers can really leverage them in their applications. Apart from that though, IBM Bluemix has been going great as well with the new services it provides, especially from SoftLayer. Of course, Bluemix is going great, Watson, it's been rapidly evolving as well. And let's get your IoT watch on, the Apple iWatch. I'm going to do some stuff with IoT. What are some of the wearables you think that are needed right now? Because we have the founder of Indiegogo on. We know the success of the crowdsourcing is. There's a lot of tinkers and inventors out there who now can be up and running. So we're expecting to have a big maker culture growing exponentially around new stuff. Exactly. So what do you see that's needed from your generation? Chip and plant and the brain, what's going on? Well, of course. What would you want? Well, in terms of, I guess you could say wearables. There are a lot of different things that people are doing with wearables, including virtual realities. One of the main things that I believe is I guess you could say the most trending topic in terms of wearables. Of course, watches, we've got glasses now that they're creating like a Microsoft HoloLens and all of these different products that are focused around basically being able to, I guess you could say, run, have these technologies available on your body, on yourself quite literally, and to make it so easy to use. And really what I believe is that one of the main things that's really going to power these wearables is AI, artificial intelligence. Like for example, even the Apple Watch has AI features in it. I mean, all virtual realities powered by artificial intelligence as well. And without that, it becomes extremely hard, if not impossible, for people to code in things like virtual reality. So what I believe is that we need, I guess you could say more adoption to these cognitive technologies, and we need people to adapt to it in their everyday environment and really accept that it's all around them and that it's going to be extremely hard to live without it. And of course, we need to start getting the youth involved in these technologies for them to be prepared for that future in which cognitive computing is everything. And in fact, cognitive computing isn't just the future, it's the present as well. And that's why we need to start getting prepared for it and that's why it's all around us.  You're 14 now, is that right? 13 actually, about to be 14 in October. Okay, so soon to be 14. So you'll probably get your license and still be able to drive in two years. We're not going to have totally autonomous vehicles, but what are your thoughts on that though? You know, what's the driving age in Canada, 16? Yes, I believe 16. Okay, so 16 years old, it's a symbol of freedom. You get autonomy, you know? And what's your feeling about, you know, maybe the next generation and them inheriting autonomous vehicles and not having, you know, the stick shift to drive like when we were kids, that we all learned on a stick shift. But what do you sense that? What are your colleagues and your other friends say about that? Sure, so now driving, self-driving cars is something that, you know, is already being worked on heavily actually. It's a big research topic. Tesla, huge company that's really working towards, you know, self-driving cars, autonomous cars. They've already got like half of that done. They just need to work on the rest half. Of course, we've also got Google working on their self-driving cars and so many other companies who at least aren't creating self-driving cars right now or, you know, most are actually starting to work towards self-driving cars, including Uber. In fact, Uber's creating those self-driving taxis that can take you around the city without you having to actually have a driver. But the thing is, what I believe is that this AI technology is powerful enough to be able to, you know, work with these, you know, autonomous vehicles and more. It's just that there are a few, I guess you could say, rough edges that need to be worked out with these technologies, which I believe can be done. It's just a matter of time before we are able to get, you know, completely autonomous cars on the road.  That would require an entirely separate interview. But, you know, generally I think autonomous cars, that's a great place to go with artificial intelligence because that could completely eliminate or at least significantly reduce the amount of, for example, human error there isn't driving. And of course, get you around traffic faster and generally maybe not even have traffic jams. There's just so many advantages to having autonomous cars. And of course, that's why Cognitive Computing is all around us. So AI is hot, IOT is hot, you're hot, you got a great, great fan base. We know that from last year. The reaction from our audience was spectacular.  Congratulations, great to see you. Come back on theCUBE. Thank you, it was great to be on theCUBE. Okay, back more from theCUBE Live here in the last space where IBM Interconnect, AI, Cognitive Computing, Collective Intelligence, all the data here on theCUBE. We'll be right back with more after this short break. Stay with us.


Welcome to another video. Hey guys, welcome to another video for my Etsy shop and design team. I wanna start off the video by saying the design team and my creative friends this last few months and year have done a fantastic job on their art, their channel, their creativity, and of course, helping me share and spread the word about my Etsy shop. I do truly appreciate them. You all know who you are out there. I will link the design team blog page in the video description. I encourage you to go and check it out and click on the designer's names and it should take you to their YouTube channel or blog page or whatever it is. I've linked it to usually their YouTube channel. Check them out, show them some love, like, share and subscribe and all of that jazz. Many of them have ways you can support them individually in their creativity and their free content, not only here on YouTube but over in the Facebook art groups. So I do encourage you to check out their channels and check out their video descriptions. Okay, all of that being said, why are we looking at this yellow piece of fabric? So for those that don't follow me on social media, I'll bring a few of them over here. I've been consumed with the idea of slow stitching which is just the new kind of more modern name for hand stitching or embroidery. I think of it as sort of a fabric collage which it is. And instead of stitching it on the sewing machine or gluing anything, everything is hand stitched for me with a variety of threads including embroidery floss, silk buttonhole twist, regular sewing thread, whatever I happen to have handy that's the right color and an interesting texture including sometimes yarn or crochet cotton and stuff like that. Of course, as you can see here, I add beads and buttons. Sometimes I add a word printed on fabric because my art usually is about words and telling some sort of visual story usually with words but not always. What I've noticed lately is I'm incorporating bits from my shops. So this particular element is from a piece of fabric. I designed fabric over at Spoonflower and this is from a piece of that fabric. You can order sample sizes of fabric, small swatches and this is an element cut out of that fabric. Here's another one. So this other one that I did has no beads on it but the feather is an embroidered piece on canvas that I have had. I'm actually currently sold out on my Etsy shop but the feather here I did on the machine and then I do a whole bunch of these and I do sell them in the Etsy shop. I think we're sold out at the moment. And then the words here be fearless. I have a lot of digital downloads of groups of words. You can of course print them on paper or print them on sticker sheets but you can also print them on fabric which I've done here and then I stitched it down and I do have a video tutorial for that somewhere but if I can find it, I'll link it below. There's no link it's because I can't figure out what video it's in. But you really just iron a piece of thin cotton fabric like muslin to a piece of parchment paper, I'm sorry, freezer paper to the waxy side. Iron it down really well and then cut it to eight and a half by 11 to fit in your printer and then you run it through the printer and make sure the edges are all very clean and that it's ironed down to the freezer paper really well and it should run through your printer just fine and then you can cut it apart and cut the words apart and use them in your art or you can print some of my other downloads. Like there may be a digital download for this file if there isn't I'm gonna be adding it to the Etsy shop. There'll be a few more digital downloads showing up over the next week or so. So keep an eye on that and you can take any of the digital downloads and also print them on fabric and use them in something like this. These pieces are not intended to be washed or anything so I wouldn't worry about ink running or anything like that. Again, I do have a video and I am kind of as I'm talking remembering what video it's in and I'll give you a link to the video tutorial on how to print on fabric in the description below. All of that being said, these are some of the fabric slow stitches I've done fabric collages that I've done recently and what I'm noticing doing these is there I'm occasionally like with this yellow one it turned out really well. I love the way actually love the way it turned out but initially I was having trouble finding yellow fabric because I didn't have the right color yellow that I wanted in my stash. And right now because of what's going on this year and with the stay-at-home orders it's not like you can go out and just buy what you can't find or what you're out of. If you don't know what I'm referring to Google the year 2020 if you're watching this in the future you'll figure it out. As I'm filming this is the end of April in 2020. All right. So I figured out how to create some fabric that I can still hand stitch through and create what basically whatever color that I want. So this here is a piece of bandaging. Bandaging it comes in a row like this if I can find a link on Amazon or something I'll include it in the video description and I just cut off a small piece and then I got it wet and I dripped some ink on it. Now the ink will stain it good enough. And like I said we're not going to be washing these pieces. This happens to be India ink so it's not going to come out easily anyway but these pieces aren't being washed. If you are concerned about light fastness you could seal it with a couple of thin coats of some kind of spray sealer. You just want to be careful about putting too much goop on it making it too thick and stiff because it's too hard to stitch through. Not only if you're stitching by hand but also if you're stitching on the machine it's hard for your machine to get through lots of say acrylic paint. So I chose to do something more watery like ink and I'm going to shoot this one's dry because we're going to do something else to it. I'm going to show you how I did this. Should have left that there. Okay, so here's I have a plate here with a paper towel on it and we're going to put a fresh piece of that fabric. It's best if you use 100% cotton because it will hold the color better. I'm going to spray it with, this is just plain water and then we're going to drip some of that ink moving around a little bit. If you want it super well covered then you would want to make sure you cover the whole thing. I kind of like the unevenness so I'm going to leave that and you just set it aside and let it dry probably overnight and then you can continue on with the next part that we're going to do. Okay, for those that don't know I design and sell rubber stamps and stencils in my Etsy shop along with digital downloads and original artwork and a lot more stuff. I have a lot of stamp sets. I can't even fit them all on the camera right now and currently they are all on sale 15% off so just inventory reduction. I'm not going to stop designing or selling stamps but I do have quite a bit of inventory at the moment that needs to move so yeah, the stamps are on sale. We're going to take a stamp set and I've had a particular one in mind and this is set number, I don't know, oh 11 and the set looks like this. So this is a pretty cool stamp set for doing what we're going to do with it. I think I'm going to take a couple of different ones from here. So we're going to take this big handwriting one I need to get a different color of ink. Okay normally in a project that you know you're going to get wet, you want to use waterproof ink but like I've said, we're not going to get this wet so I'm not going to be too concerned about it. I'm going to use a combination of waterproof ink but also Distress Ink which is not waterproof. I have Rusty Hinge, Distress Ink and Rusty Hinge. I'm going to take the handwriting stamp that's part of this set and I'm not going to put it on a stamp block but I am going to get it nice and inky. I'm going to just let it give us some extra interest in our fabric piece here, just like that. Okay, then I want to take this one and for this one I am going to use a block and I think I'm going to take black. This is black archival ink which is waterproof. You want to make sure your stamp pad's good and inky because the texture of the fabric is uneven.  Rock it just a little bit, there you go. So just like with creating a paper art piece or journal page, if you're working with fabric to create a collage and you don't have quite the right color or pattern or design, you can make one. We all have plenty of supplies in our stash with which we can do this and whether we can get out or not, we should be using them. Now I've got this interesting piece of fabric that with which I can make a slow stitch and I do want to do a slow stitch that I put on to a paper, I do like making art paperclips and I've had this sort of be in my bonnet about making an art paperclip slow stitch style. So I'm going to work on that and I'll be right back. What I was talking about, I'm really into slow stitching right now but I'm also slowly running out of supplies or I just don't have certain things and because of what's going on in the world right now it's not like we can just go out and go shopping. What I did discover is I'm having a lot of fun rediscovering my own products, my rubber stamp line and other things and creating my own fabrics. So this is the piece that we dyed earlier. It's just about dry and ready for stamping. This is the piece that I dyed yesterday and we stamped earlier in the video. And this is the finished paperclip that we created with it which I absolutely love. And if you want to know more about slow stitching I will be doing more videos on it in the future but this particular project, the video in its entirety will be over in Patreon for the patrons over there just FYI. So you need to be a patron. It's not expensive. You can check it out if you're interested in supporting the free content here on YouTube or over in the Facebook art groups.

Don't use a Pomodoro timer to study Pomodoro timers are where you study for 15 minutes and take a five-minute break or 25 minutes And then a five-minute break But what this does is it ends up leading to longer and longer breaks Pomodoro timers are the worst thing for getting into studying flow once you've gotten into studying flow You can stay concentrated and work for hours on end and forcing yourself to take a break every 25 minutes every half an hour Every 50 minutes or whatever just completely interrupts your studying flow Pomodoro timers are better used for tasks that you really don't feel like doing or when you just have to force yourself to get Into the studying zone and you really don't want to but after that put the Pomodoro timers aside and just get into flow


Stevenson victorious over Lebanon Valley in conference play here tonight at Owens Mills gymnasium here with head coach Dave Trumbo and coach you guys kind of went a little cold there a little bit and then you sort of brought the the heat there at the end what can you say about your team down the stretch sort of taking over near the end of that match well we're really working on fighting and being every point be it you know some sense of urgency you know that was a really rough second set to lose but we hit 0-25 and we miss and we had you know eight hitting errors and a couple service errors so we felt like we really kind of gave them a lot of breaks but then to rebound from that we didn't rebound from that on Saturday when we lost a really close game at the end this the night we've rebounded and and and played well and hit 461 with no errors and 12 kills so that was really really good to see so that's what we're really working on so what was sort of your approach or maybe your message to that group heading into maybe the third set to sort of write the ship and maybe get everybody back on track really we talked about you know taking good swings if you don't have a great ball to hit that's just get that's do something smart with it but not hit it out not be frustrated and just try to hit it harder the next time so you know we're trying to hit some spots we kind of we talked about you know tendencies of their defense in good areas to put the ball who were maybe some individuals that stood out to you from maybe an offensive standpoint and a defensive standpoint this evening well both the Middles early on we really set the tone Darian Dildy and Sarah Straub both hitting over 500 tonight and they set the tone early which then makes our pins open because if the Middles are a real threat then the pins get a lot of times they've got you know have a nice gap in the block or they only get single blocking which is the whole idea of running that middle and trying to draw the blockers and then we go out to the pins and final question a busy weekend coming up with a try match how can you use this victory to sort of catapult yourselves and gain some momentum for another busy weekend here at only suppose gymnasium well first we get to play Hopkins on Thursday that that was the electrical adage match so we get to play the number one team in the nation twice and so we have absolutely nothing to lose when we go down to Hopkins so we really only a game about a game in a quarter that's left but that'd be a good practice that'd be a good practice for us and hopefully we can win that first set and you know and push him a little bit the this weekend try match you know that all has to do with getting ready for conference matches during the week that's how we use those try matches to get ourselves ready and I think I felt like there were times that we played that third set that's best volleyball we played this year at coach Dave Trumbo mustangs victorious I'm Josh show reporting for go mustangs sports dot com


Sociobiology is a field of biology that aims to examine and explain social behavior in terms of evolution. It draws from disciplines including ethology, anthropology, evolution, zoology, archaeology, and population genetics. Within the study of human societies, sociobiology is closely allied to Darwinian anthropology, human behavioral ecology and evolutionary psychology. Sociobiology investigates social behavior such as mating patterns, territorial fights, pack hunting, and the hide society of social insects. It argues that just as selection pressure led to animals evolving useful ways of interacting with a natural environment, so also it led to the genetic evolution of advantageous social behavior. While the term sociobiology originated at least as early as the 1940s, the concept did not gain major recognition until the publication of Edo Wilson's book Sociobiology, the new synthesis in 1975. The new field quickly became the subject of controversy. Critics, led by Richard Walton and Stephen J. Groll, argued that genes played a role in human behavior, but that traits such as aggressiveness could be explained by social environment rather than by biology. Sociobiologists responded by pointing to the complex relationship between nature and nurture.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to weekly mentoring hour. So we'll take time to answer any questions, even share on any of the topics of leadership, discipleship, growing, growing spiritually, some of the spiritual disciplines, habits, any questions that you might have, please shoot. As you all know, we have the most wonderful panel of teachers. And so, yeah, just go for it. Okay. Shani, yes. I see you've raised your hand. Go ahead, please. Yes. So I'm asking this question because some of my family asked me this question. I can answer it. So I was asked who created God. Okay. I don't know the answer to that. All right. Okay, Shani. Thank you for that question. So the question is who created God? Right. Who would like to go for that? Yeah. So, yeah, Shani.  That means he never had a beginning. The Bible tells us from everlasting to everlasting. I think there's a Psalm 90 in verse two. It says from everlasting, yeah, Psalm 90, verse two. Of course, there are many scriptures on this, but Psalm 90 verse two says from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. So the God of the Bible is an eternal self-existent being. So he doesn't depend on anybody else for his existence, because if anybody created God, then that being would be God. You know, so the answer is straightforward.  It's from eternity to eternity. Now, we people think in terms of time. So we have a beginning. We have an ending. So a lot of our thinking is with respect to time. A lot of what we do is with respect to time. But we have to stretch our mind to think of God, of the being God who doesn't have time. He always is. So the answer is nobody created God. He's an eternal self-existent being who doesn't depend on anybody else. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Pastor Ashish. Thank you, Shani, for the question. So we go to the next question that's from John Paul. The question is from 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 3 to 7. Okay. The first question is the apostasy mentioned here. All right. Actually, let's just read the scriptures. 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 3 to 7. Okay. So it says I'm reading from the NLT version. Don't be fooled by what they say. Hey, John, should I read from the NLT or is there a specific version? Either is fine. I was using NASB, but I think either is fine. Okay. Let me also get NASB then. I'll be on the same page. Just one second. All right. 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 3 to 7 from the NASB version says, No one is to deceive you in any way for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed. No destruction was for who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called God or object of worship so that he takes his seat in the temple of God displaying himself as being God was fine. You do not remember that while I was still with you. I was telling you these things verse 6 and you know what restrains him now so that he will be revealed in his time for the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains will do so until he is removed. So let me read the verse 3 again. No one is to deceive you in any way for it will not come unless apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called God or object. Okay. So the first question there is the apostasy mentioned here is to occur before the rapture or after seven year tribulation. Can we address that first question? Please. Yeah. Okay. So John. So Paul is writing to us here about the coming of this man of perdition. We know him as the Antichrist and you know when he will come and so on. Right. And he says this man will come. He's going to exalt himself above all that's God. He's going to be in the temple of God and so on. And then he verse seven he says this mystery of lawlessness already at work. Only he who restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. Now, of course, Paul is writing and with, you know, he's writing here and with him is the the prophecies of the Old Testament. So the reference here, of course, is Daniel chapter nine and verse 27 where he talks about that Daniel has spoken about the man of sin, perdition and so on. So the sequence of it as well, let me answer for seven. I'll answer the second question first, which is the verse seven, you know, what, what is he referring to? He who restrains. So many people say, you know, say he is about the Holy Spirit. But actually, if you look at it, he has to be the church, not the Holy Spirit. Reason being throughout the book of Revelation, the Holy Spirit is still on earth, working on earth. So the Holy Spirit is not taken out of the earth. The spirit of God is working throughout the tribulation here on earth. So many reasons. Daniel's Revelation chapter seven talks about 144,000 Jews who are sealed by the Holy Spirit. Throughout the book of Revelation, we have people who have testimony to Jesus Christ. Well, and Revelation 19, 11 talks about that the testimony is the spirit of prophecy. So the Holy Spirit. Also, Zechariah chapter 12 talks about the last day outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which affects the entire nation of Israel. So there will be the outpouring of the Holy Spirit taking place during the tribulation. So the only option we have for verse two of seven, the he who restrains is the church. The church will be taken out of the way. The Holy Spirit is going to continue working during the tribulation period here on earth. Like I mentioned, there are many references to the work of the Holy Spirit. People are going to be saved during the time of the tribulation and you cannot be saved apart from the Holy Spirit. People are going to be proclaiming the gospel and you cannot proclaim the gospel apart from the Holy Spirit. So all these reasons indicate that the Holy Spirit is going to be very much here on the earth working through the people during the tribulation. Now a problem that many people have with verse seven is it's using the masculine pronoun he. But remember the church is not only called the bride of Christ, but also the body of Christ, which is masculine. So it's perfectly fine to use the masculine pronoun he to refer to the church in as much as the feminine pronoun bride is used to refer to the church. So that's the contradiction there. There's not a problem there. So to answer your question, verse seven, it is the church. And then there are many other reasons why we can substantiate the statement that the church is taken out of the way before the beginning of the seven year tribulation. So that then helps us understand the preceding verses. So what exactly is going to happen? The church will be taken out of the way. Then the man of sin will be revealed, right? Lawlessness is already at work. The spirit of antichrist is already at work. But once verse seven happens, the church is taken out of the way, then the man of perdition comes. And then if you study the, you know, of course we will have this course in your second year on the end times. And also the third year you will study revelation, Daniel in detail, but the sequence of events is, you know, the antichrist appears as a man of peace. So Revelation chapter six verse one, he comes riding on a white horse. That means he comes as a man of peace. Daniel nine twenty seven, he confirms a covenant of peace. So he comes as a man of peace with the solution for the Middle East. But in the middle of the seven year tribulation, again, Daniel nine twenty seven talks about it. Revelation eleven one talks about it. That in the middle of the tribulation, which is at the end of the first three and a half years, he breaks his covenant. He sets himself up in the temple of God and he desecrates the temple. So that is what is being spoken of in the preceding verses here. Is that okay? Yes. Thanks. Thank you. Thanks John for that question. As I was saying more on that in the second year eschatology course and Revelation and Daniels in the final year. Okay, let's move on to the next question we have is from Kiran. Hebrews chapter two verse two. Can we explain? Okay. All right. So I'm going to read Hebrews chapter two verse one and two for context. Okay. The heading of this chapter says a warning against drifting away. So here we go. So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard and so we may drift away or we may drift away from it. For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm and every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished. Okay. Kiran also is there anything in specific that you're looking for from this verse? All right. Can someone respond to Hebrews chapter two verse two please? Anybody? Pastor Nancy, would you like to go at it? Yes. Thank you. So here in this verse we are told that we must give give heed to what has been what has been revealed to us, what has been given to us much more. And then if you look at the context like Hebrews chapter one basically talks about the Lord Jesus and how he is the exact representation of the father and you know all that he brings and his deity. So what the writer of the Hebrews is saying is that when people gave so much of importance to the law of Moses which was considered to be handed by angels he is just bringing our attention and our focus to what the Lord Jesus brings and the new covenant that he is the author of and that we must give more attention to that. So yeah, that's what I would like to share and yeah anyone else I hope I'm correct and I'm answering Kiran's question. Thank you, Pastor Nancy. Thank you. Just one thought here. I think Kiran maybe what's confusing is the word angels, right? For if the word spoken through angels you know the source like hey did angels give us the word of God? That's not true. You just have to look up to Greek. The Greek word the angels is angelos which simply means messengers. It's a generic word that's used both for human messengers as well as for angels. It just happened to be translated here in the kingdoms as angels. But really what he's referring to is the word spoken through messengers meaning God's messengers not angelic beings but God's messengers. So like Nancy said he's referring to the entire Old Testament the Old Testament scriptures but it's given to us through messengers of God not angels but basically saying look this word given to us like the rest of the explanation is exactly what Pastor Nancy said. I just wanted to clarify that word angels. So okay. Thank you Pastor Ashish for adding. Kiran any follow up question? Clear? Okay I believe it's clear because there is also another question from Kiran. Sorry Kiran I missed that. Hello. Kiran sorry I missed what you said. Here's the first one. Chapter 5 and verse 8. Okay sure. First John chapter 5 verse 8. Let me read verse 5 from first John chapter 5.  Verse 7. For there are three that testify the spirit and the water and the blood and the three are in agreement. Pastor Jay Kumar would you like to respond to that? Yeah Roshan hi. The spirit, water and the blood. So it's talking about verse 7. Of course it's very clear the Father, the Son and the spirit and these three witnessing and three are one. Verse 8. The spirit, the water and the blood but I am not very clear Roshan because in verse 6 it's talking about the physical birth of the Lord Jesus. Probably Pastor Ken Clarish I think we will pass to Ashish. Can I ask you a further question? Sure. Yeah so verse 6, 7 and 8 right. So basically in John's episode he's talking about the definitiveness of their experience with Jesus. When he begins, first John chapter 1 he says the one whom we have seen and heard, whom we have handled we are talking about that person. So John is telling us look, I'm not writing to you about some spiritual fiction. It's not fiction. The one whom we have seen, whom we have handled whom we have encountered person, you're writing about him. So that's how he starts off his episode, first John chapter 1, the first few verses. So now we're coming down to, he's getting ready to conclude. So once again he's coming back to the same thing saying look this Son of God that we spoke of verse 5, Jesus is the Son of God. This is the one whom we're talking about. And now he's reiterating how we have witnessed that he is the Son of God. So that's why verse 6, 7, 8 come in. So he says verse 6, he came by water and blood. So water and blood would be, again we interpret it in the context of him being attested to. So water, that is the water of baptism. So when Jesus was baptized, there was a clear attestation from heaven. And John, not Saint, not John the writer of the gospel, but John the Baptist, bore testimony. And John was one of those early disciples of Jesus. He probably was a disciple, let me validate this. I think he was a disciple of John the Baptist. When John the Baptist said, behold the Lamb of God, follow him, then the disciples, his disciples, going looking at John chapter 1, they left John and they followed Jesus. So they had, so this is John 137. So they had testimony of Jesus being the Son of God through the waters of baptism.  And that is also in verse 6, the spirit bore witness. So water is the water of baptism. At the water of baptism, the Holy Spirit bore witness through which Jesus Christ is John. First John 5 verse 6 is a spirit who bears witness and the spirit is truth. And then blood is of course the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. So then verse 7, so that's the earthly side of the witness. Water, the waters of baptism where the Holy Spirit bore witness, the blood, the cross of Christ. Verse 7 is witness in heaven. Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit, they are in agreement. Then, verse 8, the three witness on the spirit, the Holy Spirit, the water that is water of baptism, the blood that is the cross. All of these are testing to one thing. Jesus is the Son of God. So to answer your question, water is talking about the water of baptism where the Holy Spirit bore witness to Jesus. Is that okay, Kiran? Thank you, Pastor. Thank you, Kiran, for that question. All right, awesome. Please feel free to share questions in the chat section. Okay, so we have a question here from Christopher. Please explain why there are some radical differences in the genealogy that is accounted by Matthew and Luke in the New Testament. Number of generations genealogy through Joseph versus genealogy through Mary, which is the preferred account. Okay, right. It's an interesting question. Who would like to take that one? The question on genealogy of Jesus. Maybe we should defer the answer to next week. We'll do a little study and come back. Okay. I mean, I'm just trying to think of it, Christopher. Matthew was addressing generally what is stated is Matthew is addressing a Jewish audience. Luke is addressing the Roman audience. And so we need to look at it from that perspective. But I think if we would come back with an answer on this next Thursday, we'll do a little bit of study. And I'm sure we'll have an answer, but we'll have to look at it from these two perspectives, the audience that was being addressed. Is that okay? Yeah. Christopher, so we'll respond to your question in the following week. Is that okay? Awesome. Okay, thank you. Okay. So until we get another question in the chat section. So one of the questions that I often get from young people, Abraham, I saw you raised your hand. We'll get to that if that's okay. Just a minute. So one of the questions that I get a lot from young people is from, you know, in our context, when God asks us to forsake, you know, everything and completely surrender and follow Him, what does that really mean, you know, in the context of our lives today? And so I think like on multiple times, they were referring to the disciples as in, okay, they forsake everything what they were doing and they followed Him. And so I did not really have a definitive, very clear answer. Can someone just shed light on that place? Anybody? Pastor Paul, Pastor Nancy, Jane, Pastor Ashish, Pastor Jakes. Okay, Pastor Ashish. Yeah, I'll just share some thoughts that I have. Yeah, so I'm thinking like, when disciples followed Jesus, many of them left everything, you know, like we see them leaving behind their profession and just going staying with Jesus and learning from Him. And that's what each one of us wants to do, right? Like when God is inviting us, we just want to follow Him and do nothing else. But does that mean that we leave behind the life we have, you know, the career we have, the family we have, the goals we have, the skills we have. So I'm thinking like maybe that's not what it means.  But at the same time, also looking at the life of Jesus, we know that the most important thing that Jesus wanted to do was the will of the Father. So I think the emphasis is there. If we can hear from God and if we can understand what it is that the Father wants us to do. And if that involves, you know, me leaving my career and getting into, you know, full-time ministry or something like that, if it's the Father's will for my life, then yes, you know, yes, for sake of the things and moving that direction. But if it's not, then just go by what the Father's will is. So those are my thoughts. Yes, thank you. Thank you, Pastor Nancy. That's nice. Okay. Would anybody like to add to that? Just go ahead. Okay. In Luke chapter 14, right? That's again where he says, you know, if anyone, 14 and verse 25 to 33, if anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, he has his own life. Also he cannot be my disciple. And then, you know, he says, one more thing, like whoever does not bear his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. And then 28 onwards, he talks about counting the cost.  And then towards verse 33 is where he says, like, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has, cannot be my disciple. So, you know, when we look at the context in which he says that forsaking all, of course he's talking about human relationship and then the fact that our relationship with the Lord has to take precedence over all. In the sense, like I heard someone say, you know, that relationship in the context of that relationship, every other relationship looks like, you know, as if you hate, you know. It fades into kind of oblivion. And also counting the cost, you count the cost and say, you know, there is a cost to follow the Lord and, you know, whoever wants to live a godly life will suffer persecution, God writes. And therefore, yeah, it is about, this forsaking all is about, of course, forsaking our selfish interests and selfish ambitions, but also from a place of counting the cost and willing to bear that cost. Yeah, yeah. Wonderful. Basta. Thank you. Thank you, Basta. Jean, would you like to? Yeah, I think it's very similar to what Basta Jay Kumar had said. It's, I think my references are from the Philippines, 378, just read that out. But what things were gained to me, these I have counted loss for Christ, but indeed I also count all things lost for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ, Jesus, my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish that I may gain Christ. So, yeah, in addition to the cost, it is to count everything superior supreme above all, beyond anything else that may take on our passion or our interest. So, pursuing Christ, pursuing Him and walking in fellowship with Him, surpasses everything else, whatever it may be, it may be work, it may be relationships, it may be self-interest, all of that. That's just another aspect of forsaking all things for Christ. Thank you, Basta. Thank you, Jean. Thank you. Thank you for helping me out. Okay, let's move on. Abraham, if you don't mind, could you share your question, please? And then we'll get to... And then we'll get to... Okay, thank you so much. Good morning, Basta. Good morning, Abraham. Good morning, Abraham. I was not telling that I want to seek some advice. I was trying to help a friend. I met him at church, I think some time ago, and he just called me that he's looking for a place to stay. So, I just decided to give him one of my rooms because I live in a two-bedroom, so I decided to give him the other one. But when he came, he came, I think, in May, there was a lockdown. So, since May, he has been staying with me. But the challenges that he's bringing is too much.  Then the apartment would call me. I have to go and take him outside and bring him in. Sometimes he would even go and drink and then probably he would sleep outside through the next day. So, he has done this for a very long time. And finally, he got a COVID. Even though we are in the same apartment, he got a COVID. I didn't get a COVID. He went to the quarantine site for almost about 14 days. He came back, I think, last week. I mean, yesterday, he just took my motorbike. He went and he has not returned. So, why drive this guy out of my house? Or what do I do? Knowing that we are Christians and we have to help each other, we have prayed for him several. But it looks like he's not waiting to change. I don't know what to do. So, I just want advice on how to handle this guy, whether to drive him out or to still continue to pray for him. Because there is grace. I just received a message from the apartment that if he does not stay home, then they themselves will come and drive him out. So, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. Please help me. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you, Abraham. Thank you for expressing your concern. Pastor Ashish, would you like to respond to Abraham, please? Yeah, Abraham, I can tell you what I would do. This is not a Bible. I think we all know what you would do. This is not chapter and verse. It's just what I would do. I would tell him to leave.  So, yeah, there's nothing wrong in you being firm and saying, please find a place somewhere else. I mean, I'm sure there'll be plenty of other places where he can go and stay. So, you could, and that's what I would do, right? Because you have been very patient with him and this is like pushing it too far. He should not abuse your kindness. So, we are called to be kind. We are called to be loving.  So, don't feel guilty that, you know, you are taking this kind of a stand. It's perfectly fine. That's my response. Back to you, Rosh. Thank you, Pastor Ashish. Thank you, Abraham, for that honest question. Okay, so we have a question from Sikidna Robert here.  And we also know that God was present before the creation. And why the world says that Lord Shiva is the creator of the world. Why Hinduism is considered as the first form of religion of the world. Why Shiva is called Yaksha Swaroopa, which has a meaning, which means a person who existed before the existence of the universe, same like the God as Genesis. So, yes. Okay. Yeah, so, Sikidna, I think there are many questions in this paragraph that you've written. So, we'll quickly address them. So, why is Hinduism considered the oldest religion? Well, even though, you know, the book of Genesis is starting from the creation. Now, so basically, okay, so Christianity is not, because Christianity basically started in 8030 formally. Christianity started then. But then what do we have? We have Judaism and we have Hinduism. Now, Judaism, the formal beginning is with Abraham. He's a patriarch, which is 2,000 years after creation. Right? So, that's when Judaism has its beginning. But with the patriarch Abraham, when God called Abraham. But God revealed to Moses, you know, the first five books, which starts off with the creation of the earth and creation of everything. So, although the formal beginning of Judaism is with the patriarch Abraham, the scriptures, the Old Testament scriptures, let's say before, what we call as Old Testament, which was the Hebrew scriptures, the Hebrew scriptures go back all the way to the very beginning, that is Genesis chapter one. Okay, so that's the only difference. So, the formal beginning of Judaism is with Abraham, but the scriptures go back, the revelation given to Moses, go back all the way to Genesis chapter one. So, that is why Hinduism is considered as the oldest religion, although the beginnings of, you know, Adam was the first person created and everybody traces back, human life traces back to Adam. Okay, so in the formal beginnings, of course, Judaism comes to those years after Genesis chapter one, but the scriptures go back all the way. Now, the God of the Bible, there was a question we answered at the very beginning, the God of the Bible is eternal self-existent, right? So, the God of the Bible doesn't begin in Genesis chapter one, verse one, he's before that, he always existed. And then Genesis one only gives us the beginning of creation, right? But the God of the Bible is eternal self-existent. Now, just because there are, let's say, this shouldn't matter that, you know, let's say in the Hindu scriptures, you have references to one of the gods as a person who existed before creation. It doesn't matter. The God of the Bible is an eternal self-existent God who always was before the beginning of creation. Is that okay, Sid? Do you have a follow-up question? Okay, no follow-up question. Thank you, Pastor. Thank you for responding to that question once again. Okay, just to move on, we have another question from Christopher. He says, the soul consists of the mind, emotions, and will. Some of these can be used by the evil one. Example, anger can lead to rage. So we need to seek the blessings of the Holy Spirit to keep this type of emotion within control. As per the Bible, are there a list of inherent emotions that are part of the soul? Example, joy, anger. As part of the Bible, is there a list of inherent emotions that are part of the soul? Pastor Paul, would you like to respond to that, please? Yes, thank you, Roshan. Thank you, Christopher, for that question. Right. Yes, so I don't really know. I'm not really sure of the words, the chapter words. Maybe if somebody knows that can go ahead and share it. But yes, the soul consists of the mind, will, and emotions.  And there are verses like, for example, you know, Paul writes to the Romans in Romans 12, he says, be not, be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. And so it is a responsibility of us, that we have that responsibility of renewing our mind. So salvation happens at that one instant, but the process of renewing our mind is something that we have to do. And so, as I said, Christopher, I'm not really sure of the words, but practically, you know, emotions is part of everyone, right?  It's part of everyone. And so we as believers with the help of the Holy Spirit can, you know, take control of, you know, our mind, will, and emotions within us with the help of the Holy Spirit. So I leave it there. Maybe somebody else can add to that, anyone else can. Thank you. Thank you, Roshan. Thank you. Thank you, Pastor Paul. Yes. Pastor Roshan, I'd just like to add. Sure. So I think some of you references and a few thoughts. So the first thing that we do see is, you know, man was made in God's image and God is a relational God. You know, we see that in the Trinity. It says, let us make man in his own, in our image. So he is a relational God. And in a relationship, there is an expression of emotions. So when God made us in his image, he also made us with those emotions because of his relationship with the son and the spirit. The second point that I'd like to bring about is that we see Christ being, you know, a model of emotional functioning. So we know that Christ was holy God and he was holy man. And we know that he's, he bears that perfect image of God. And it is in Christ that we see who, who we are to be. And he is the model that we have. So we are designed to be what, what he, he had in, in, in himself. So as perfect man Christ also experienced these emotions. And we see that, you know, the emotions of joy, compassion, anger, grief, fear. So he expressed these emotions, you know, when, when, and it's written in, in scripture. So they, they were a part of the way he responded to the situation. So, so I would say that, you know, this also, it, it also helps us to see how do we respond to God given emotions that he's put in us. The emotions aren't bad in itself, but the way that it is laid out or the way that it is processed or distorted becomes. It becomes a sin. Yeah. I just wanted to add that. Thank you, Jean. Thank you for that. Christopher. Was that clear? Do you have any follow up question that you'd like to ask? Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Jean. For that question. Okay. So we have a question from Divya, which he's asked again at the bottom. First Corinthians chapter 12, seven to 11. Her question is, does this passage mean that each one is given only certain gifts according to the will of God? Okay, so the question again is, does this passage mean that each one is given only certain gifts according to the will of God? So, Pastor Jay Kumar, would you like to take that question? Yeah, sure. So we read one Corinthians 12, of course. I think we're going to get into the class at nine. We're going to look at this chapter again, but anyway, very quickly. So this chapter, Paul doesn't want the Corinthians to have to be ignorant and he gives the list down the gifts and also the usage of the gifts and so on. So we see that he goes on to say he lists the gifts and he talks about the gifts as the manifestation of the spirit. And he's giving all this in the context of the local church gathering. So when we come together as a local church, well, the Holy Spirit, he expresses himself in different, you know, in these different ways. And verse 11, but one of the same spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as he will. So we come together and there's the word of knowledge, word of wisdom, prophecy, everything, and which the Holy Spirit, you know, expresses or manifests himself in that local gathering. So when we gather together, one might come with a word of knowledge, the Holy Spirit is expressing himself with a word of knowledge. Another person, a word of wisdom, another person, you know, another, maybe tongues and interpretation. So it's in the context of the local church gathering. The other thing that we need to understand is that, you know, we receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. We have indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.  So all the nine gifts, you know, he wants to express through the believer for the edification of the body, that is what we see. So that's, but it is he who distributes, right? But on our part as believers, we are to expect, we are to desire. And that we see in the rest of the chapter, like in verse, same chapter, I'm going to think it's 12, we go to the end of chapter verse 31. He says, honestly, desire the best gifts, you know, plural, meaning more than one, all honestly desire the best gifts. Again, in chapter 14 and verse one, pursue love and desire spiritual gifts, right? So the objective of desiring is, of course, to receive and to, you know, express, manifest the gifts so that the church can be edified so that it can be a blessing. So, so we see that it is the same spirit. And as believers, we are to desire, and it's not just one, but many. So, yeah, so, so I just leave it there. Thank you. Thank you, Pastor Jaykumar. I just had a follow up as if it was time I can ask in the class as well. Yeah, I think we have almost two minutes. Yeah, only we can have it in the class. Okay. Okay. Thank you, Pastor Jaykumar. Thank you, Divya. Quickly, I just address Shani's question. Shani, raise your hand. Oh, yes. So my question is that I know that I learned in a faith class that when you're praying for somebody, you both have to have faith. Nor for somebody to be healed. And I also know I've seen people lay hands on somebody and they get healed. And I know it says in the Bible that the signs of Father those who believe if you should lay hands on a stick, they should get well. And it says Jesus said, things that I do, you could do good, things that needs to go to the Father. So I'm thinking about all this. So I'm a believer. So when I have pain, I lay hands on myself.  I also speak, you know, to my body. So why is it that I'm a believer? Why is that I'm still having pain? I'm not healed instantly. Like I hear, like I see other people being healed instantly. All right. Thank you, Shani. Pastor Ashish, would you like to respond to that? Why don't we see, you know, personal healing happen instantly? Instantly. Yes. And I, you know, let me say that I don't want to necessarily, I mean, we cannot necessarily clearly state this is the exact reason. But I would just, you know, generally what we know what we need to receive our ministry healing, which is God's word and faith and the presence of God and so on. So my response would be just continue to exercise your faith, put the deposit of God's word into your heart and, you know, engage with God in His presence through worship. There will be times, you know, we will see instant healing for ourselves and then maybe healing will happen progressively and it's okay as long as we get healed and are fine. But we continue to build our faith up. We continue to put the deposit of God's word in and get into His presence, you know. Okay, thank you. Thank you, Pastor Ashish. Thank you, Shani, for that question. Okay. Christopher, very quickly, Pastor Jakes has shared a link to one of the publications that you can check it out.
