Alrighty, we have some exciting news for anyone that's a fan of carowins or a fan of Copperhead Strike. My team was able to yesterday digest some information or a number on a container and figure out that your trains are on their way. In fact, they're probably already there. So based off of these permits, or not even permits, these documents from online as shipping, not a shipping container, but multiple shipping containers have been shipped via boat, via vessel. They're on their way. In fact, they arrived at the shipping port and were already transported via trucks. We haven't seen the arrived or delivered icon pop up for being delivered to carowins yet.  It just doesn't make sense with the timing that the shipping containers were picked up via truck and the date now that they aren't already there. It's been like well over seven days now and the distance from the shipping port and carowins I think is roughly three hours. So I'm assuming that your trains are at carowins. They're on site and considering your park opens up what in March from what I believe, a media day will probably be in March as well, you're probably gonna start seeing testing very shortly. I'm not talking like this week or most likely not even next week, it's probably gonna happen end of January, maybe beginning of February. I'm gonna guess it's gonna happen in January if I had to take a wild guess though, considering it is meant to be a winter festive attraction, you would assume the park would wanna test it during the colder months. In January, February are their coldest months if they're like anywhere up here in Canada. So I'd be keeping your eyes peeled or your attention to carowins on social media because you're probably gonna start to see some test runs or hints at a test run, pictures of trains popping up on a carowins social media accounts as well. And I just wanted to update you guys quickly on what is happening because I thought this was really interesting news. It's always exciting when the trains arrive at your home park and yeah, so obviously we did this on crux systems and you can see the shipping container that we are tracking up there in the top left. And you can follow along if you wanna see or wait for the arrived statement or if there are other trains arriving, this is how you can do it. Anyways, hope you guys really enjoyed this quick update on the potential arrival of the carowins Copperhead Strike trains. And yeah, thanks for watching guys. Don't forget to hit that like button, subscribe if you haven't and share this video for others to watch. Thanks so much guys, have a good weekend, bye.


Like every other mental health practitioner in the world, I am deeply alarmed and unsettled by the rising tide. Scrap this by the tsunami of suicidal ideation among people, of all age groups in all cultures and societies throughout the world. People just want to end their lives. They reject life, they reject reality, they reject the world they live in. They have no hope for the future, not for themselves, not for their offspring, and not for human society and species in general. Today, I want to tell you why I think you should choose life, even if it's unbearable, intolerable, difficult. You should choose life. There are a few exceptions, of course. If you've got a few months to live and your quality of life is horrible, bordering on torture, euthanasia may be the right thing to do. But otherwise, with this very, very slim sliver of exception, you should always choose life. And I would like to provide you with a philosophical foundation as to why you should do that, why to not commit suicide, why suicide is not a solution. Now, you all know me, Shoshanim.  At least I have these credentials with you. This, you can trust my adherence to the truth as I see it. And yet, I'm telling you, suicide is not a solution. Life is. I'm going to try to substantiate this very out-of-character, Polian-ish optimistic message. My name is Sam Baknin. I'm the author of Malignant Self-Love, Narcissism Revisited. I have a PhD in philosophy, which helps me with this presentation. And I'm also a professor of psychology and a professor of finance in several universities around the world. Let's delve right in. Suicidal ideation is a fancy clinical term for someone who is contemplating suicide, doing research as to methods of offering himself or herself, thinking constantly about not being, absenting himself or herself from the world. Suicidal ideation is a precursor in many cases to actual attempted suicide. And that is why it's so alarming. Its incidents and prevalence now are very, very frightening. Following the pandemic, on the heels of the pandemic, but not only because of the pandemic. We have seen this trend among the young, especially. Depression and anxiety rates have skyrocketed and suicidal ideation. Suicide rates in general are down in the general population. But among the young, they're up. And so this video is addressed mostly to young people. Whenever someone tells me about their intention to end their life, I respond, staying alive is the only cogent argument for staying alive. In other words, the only reason to stay alive is because you have to stay alive. We stay alive simply because the alternative is not being. Well, isn't this a cyclical argument, what we call in philosophy a tautology? Isn't it a meaningless play with words in the form of scholasticism? Not really. Existence is always richer in potential than non-existence. Life is full of pain and frustration. But pain and frustration are not causes. They don't cause anything. They just are. The same way that we are. Now we have two options. We can exist, end, experience, or we cannot exist. When we don't exist, our potential is zero. When we exist, the potential is large. It's not infinite, as some coaches would have it. It's not unlimited. It's not that if you put your mind to it, there's nothing which is beyond your reach.  Let me forget all this. All these camps by con artists. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is life is full of potentials. And it's full of potentials because it's complex and because there are other people out there. The interpersonal interactions between people are so multifarious and so complex that they cannot actually be predicted. And potential is about unpredictability. It's about good and bad things that may happen to you. When you are dead, your potential is zero. When you're alive, your potential is vast. We should always choose potential over non potential. This is the way of the world. This is on a biological molecular level. Bacteria choose potential over non potential. Everything in the world, the whole universe, the whole creation is geared around the unfolding and actualization of potentials. My own work in physics builds on this idea. So potential is the key. Pain, frustration, suffering. They are phenomena. They are natural forces. Human made forces, but humans are part of nature. They are there the same way that rocks and trees are there. The same way that viruses are there. The same way that other people are there. They're just there. They don't imply any action. They're not actionable. So I hope if you're considering suicide, that you reconsider. And I want you to reconsider in view of this organizing principle of creation. Potential. Potential. The encounter with potentials and unfolding, exploring, developing your own potential. Some of you claim to have faith. You contemplate suicide and at the same time you claim to have faith in an afterlife, whatever that may be. You claim to have faith, but you sound as though you have lost all faith. Suicide is the renouncing of faith. Now, faith in God, faith in yourself, faith in the future, full of potentials, some of them good, some of them bad, definitely. Faith in experiencing, faith in other people. Suicide is the renouncing of all faith. So it cannot be reconciled with any faith, whether secular or religious. You, a part of creation, not creation in the design sense. I'm not implying that there's a creator, but you're part of what there is. And nothing just is. Everything is about becoming and you are an integral part of that becoming. You see, people confuse purpose and meaning. However devoid of goals your life may be, your life is meaningful. Even if your life has no purpose, your life always has meaning. And it always has meaning. Because you are an integral part of the becoming, the process of becoming of the whole universe. The universe would not be the same without you. The universe would not have been the same without you. The universe will not be the same after your gun. Your presence in the universe renders the universe what it is. When you choose to live rather than die, you co-create the world. Your death renders the world instantly different, instantly other. The extent of your influence on the universe is essentially infinite because you are a defining dimension of the cosmos. Think about it for a minute. You don't need to be a great philosopher to comprehend what I'm saying. Think of the world without you and the world with you. These are clearly two different worlds. So it is your presence which determines for the rest of us and for the universe at large how it's going to look, how it's going to behave, and what's going to happen. Had you not been born reality for every atom and for every person and for every entity, reality would have been radically different. Your birth made a difference. Your existence makes a difference, literally difference.  And so you have a great responsibility and don't confuse this responsibility with having goals. It's not about having goals. It's not about having a purpose in life. It's not making a difference in the colloquial term in the colloquial sense. It's making a difference just by being.  Purpose and action and accomplishments are the icing of the cake of your existence. But your existence alone suffices. It's not only a gift the Jews believe that existence life is a gift a deposit so to speak. It's not only a gift it's also a responsibility. You were born so from the minute from the minute you inhaled the first atoms of air into your expanding lungs from that very second or split second you owe it to the rest of us to maintain the world as it is with your presence in it. You have a responsibility to keep the universe afloat to not make it different until your time comes. Your existence alone suffices to steer everyone and everything in another direction and towards an alternative destiny. You are truly the co-author the co-author of the universe. What could be more significant than this? Why are you looking for anything more? Being yourself being authentic being here is all that matters. When the famous French philosopher Voltaire was on his deathbed he was asked by a priest to renounce the devil and he famously responded it is not the time to make new enemies. Whatever you may think about Voltaire or the devil or the priest this answer encapsulates authenticity. Voltaire remained true to himself to his lost breath because Voltaire understood that just being alive is all it takes to make a difference and that being true to yourself being loyal to your quiddity in essence is the core of existence. He, Voltaire explored his potentials actively but even had he not done so just by pursuing his life by not giving up on it by not committing suicide Voltaire had fulfilled his role in maintaining this world, this universe this creation as it is and as it should have been because your presence has a meaning because your presence determines reality defines it changes it directs it and no you don't have to do anything to earn this power it is given to you the minute you are born self-actualization is the soul engine of meaning in life but self-actualization doesn't mean the pursuit of goals setting purposes and kind of accumulating accomplishments self-actualization means first and foremost to live to maintain life to not give up on it because you see every day you're face with a choice should I go on living or should I kill myself and every day most of us take this brave decision to go on with life to renounce death and it surrogates suicides so the act of survival is active it requires choice it requires a mind and consciousness we have the luxury that most animal species are denied to be able to terminate our lives so we are forced to make this choice day in and day out and this creates a lot of anxiety in us the need the compulsive need to confront life to participate in it to suffer and from time to time however rarely to experience joy and cheer and elation and satisfaction this compulsive need is onerous it's a burden it's our cross to bear and we all do this courageously give takes courage regrettably in modern society we are presented with falsities with lies with manipulations with life substitutes ersatz life fake life for example I keep telling you in this video that the potentials in life render your life meaningful not the accomplishments not the goals not the work not the purposes not the direction not your career not other people just existing in order to experience what life has to offer what I call potential so why do I rail against consumerism for example aren't these ostensibly intended to help us to realize our potentials consumerism isn't it about realizing our potentials sex positivity isn't it about exploring other possibilities and dimensions so why do I rail against this because they are examples of the fake environment that modern civilization had created this fake environment imitates life badly but it's not life not in the truest authentic sense people are forced to become less and less authentic that's why they want to off themselves why they want to kill themselves because they feel that they don't exist anymore it's very easy to commit suicide when you have been long dead it's much more difficult to dispense with life when you experience it truly and directly and maximally when you give yourself to the flow and the flux to the potentials and the surprises to the suffering and pain when you are directly involved when you are when you consummate your relationship with life when you engage with life it's much more difficult to let go of it because it has so much to offer and because you realize then that your very existence is the difference that you are making and that the world would never be the same without you and would have never been the same without you that your presence and existence here changes the entire universe but you can't you cannot understand this if you react exclusively with simulations of life with simulacra with a spectacle so I rail against consumerism and sex positivity because they both actually limit our promise they constrict our lives these are ideologies these ideologies are death cults they are death cults they are not life enhancing ideologies but they are death cults they objectify people and they humanize objects I'm going to repeat this consumerism and sex positivity objectify people and humanize inanimate objects and this is a great definition of death our modern civilization has chosen death over life and so it comes to us naturally death we say well choose death over life since all the messages we are getting everywhere through advertising government mass media even social media mainstream or not this distinction is nonsensical all the messages we are getting are you are nothing but objects you are nothing but entities to be manipulated and dispensed with you are disposable you are interchangeable and when you keep getting this message time and again flooded with this signaling from everywhere it's easy to give up on life modern modern civilization is trampling on our potential is suppressing our promise is constricting our lives confining us to literal boxes consumerism and sex positivity are only two examples but they are great examples because they actually suppress our free will they present fake choices between actually dictated alternatives and they penalize non-conformity and so when I say choose life it's not like saying choose modernity with all its consumer goods that's not what I'm saying when I'm saying choose life over death choose existence over suicide what actually I'm saying choose yourselves choose yourselves realize that you are a part of creation and a very crucial one because should you subtract yourself should you upset yourself should you kill yourself should you commit suicide the world will never be the same without you


Hey everyone, welcome to today's day trading update, Friday, September 25th. Hope everybody had a great week of trading, unfortunately ending the week with a red day due to a big mistake that I'll talk about to start with.  I ended up doing a runner in Nasdaq that came back and brought some profits of about four hundred and some dollars. So that's the M2K MNQ, that's a pairs trade as well as the Nasdaq runners combined, so you can't really break those out at this point. A little runner in the Dow, just took that off pretty quick for a loser. A nice winner in Apple, two hundred forty seven dollar winner. AMD, nice runner, two hundred eighty seven dollar winner. Amazon, a tiny runner, two hundred two eighty, beyond a little runner for one sixty five, nice runner in Microsoft seven sixty six. Nike, this is actually not a day trade. This is when I accidentally put in this account, actually holding it until next week, so not part of the day trading. The big mistake, Nikola, minus thirteen hundred bucks. I'll get to that here in a second.  The first thing in the morning, eight seventy one was my biggest loser besides Nikola. Tesla, minus five forty on a runner and zoom minus four sixty nine on a runner. Alright, so let's break these down and then also go over kind of the breakdown for the week. Alright, so I said pairs trade in Nasdaq Russell, but then I also caught a runner here. Let's see, and it was after it kind of broke the highs of the day, started to consolidate a kind of nice piece of this in the Nasdaq for a runner. Apple, similar timeframe, started consolidating above the high of yesterday, and so I caught a little piece of this. AMD, let's go to AMD, AMD was strong, started to consolidate kind of little piece of that as well.  I caught a little piece of that right there. Beyond, so I actually had a, so in beyond this thing chopped sideways forever.  I ended at about twelve thirty for the most part. Microsoft was one of my bigger winners, nice runner here. It had that push up consolidating here and I caught a nice piece of that. Well, not that far about right to here is where I caught that. So nice runner in Microsoft. And then Nicola, let's talk about our friend Nicola. So it had a big push up and when we were still in the live stream room, I tried to jump on long here and ended up getting flushed out. So that was part of the loss. But the real big mistake was when price started coming all the way down and started consolidating down near the lows of the day. Actually right here, I went ahead and got short. There's a lot of headlines about fraud and I was like, you know what, I'm just going to get short here. This thing could could just collapse and it started to go down and here's the mistake I made. I decided, you know what, I'm just going to hold this and I walked away went went to a meeting was not near my screen. When I came back, this thing just completely ripped my face off. And so that's not what we teach.  So the way that we teach, I would have been scaling down as it came down. This never would have happened, but it is what it is. Like I always say, your P and L is your only truth. So took a took a big loss there that that put me negative for the day.  So I would have been closer to break even and big profits on my runners, but instead big losing red day and and just an overall disaster. So lesson learned, never never leave these trades on when you're going to get away from the screen. No matter what you think, you've got it. You've got to be monitoring these. Roku was the other kind of sizable loser here. And this was a this was a trade where it started making a big push down and it was still positive on the day. And the market was getting stronger, but Roku just continued to get weaker. And so I ended up just having to bail about right here and and took a loss there. So I still looking back on that one.  So I mean, with the market as strong as it was this one and Roku being a strong stock on the day, I was looking for a nice bounce here. Just never got it.  And then Tesla and zoom was another frustrating one. So the zoom I was actually up pretty big on. Let's zoom back on zoom. We had this one on in the live room, got a nice little runner to the upside. Let me zoom in here for you a little bit better. Let me zoom in on zoom. So what happened here in zoom is we caught and started consolidate here. We caught a nice piece of this were up big, then it started coming down and the market was staying strong. And so I actually added to this. And finally on the second flush down, I just had to bail. Of course it ended up picking back up to the upside, but I ended up just cutting my losses and taking a loss on zoom. So that was a little bit frustrating, but again, not not a terrible trade. And I don't regret the way that I traded it.  So that is the recap of today. Let me show you what's going on for the week. Let me bring up my spreadsheet here. So mighty 90s overall down 1500 for the week. So it's been it's been a rough last couple of weeks for the mighty 90. I just take a took a couple trades today that Roku one was was a mighty 90 had a winner in Apple that was actually the one that I actually going back to the charts. That was not a runner in Apple. So I got that one confused the mighty 90 that I took had this big push up. And I caught this move right here to the downside with with with a short move. So sorry about that. That was Apple. Anyway, down 1500 on the week for the mighty 90 pairs trade. I did that one pairs trade today for minus 325. So overall for the week just very few only two pairs trades.  And then on the runners is doing really well, you know, 824 this day 958 this day 854 we didn't trade on Thursday. And then minus 213 but like I said, Nicola minus 1300 bucks. So that would have been a positive 1100 nice day on on the runners. However, it's not it's negative but still up over 2400 bucks for the week on the runners. If we take a look at everything together, you've got the mighty 90 pairs trades runners. And so total P&L for the for the week of 921 773. So not not near as good as the last few weeks but still positive green for the week over the last four weeks. So really for the last month since we've been tracking them and breaking them down into the different types of strategies up almost $15,000 in the last month. So can't complain just a little bit a little bit down about today and and some of the some of the things that I did and not not following the rules. So part of trading is making sure that you're staying disciplined following your own rules. I broke that today and it cost me so is what it is still positive going into next week. Just kind of got to reset rethink about the rules rethink about the discipline rethink about mindset. Make sure we come back Monday ready to go. So I hope everybody has a great weekend. We'll talk to you next week.

I'll see you next time for the impeccable break on the separate video. Bye. Bye


So up until now, you've probably been measuring angles in degrees. And that's like using training wheels or drinking out of a sippy cup or measuring things in feet and inches. Sooner or later, you have to take off the training wheels, drink from regular cups, and use the metric system. And so let's recap how we measure an angle. When measuring an angle, the natural measure is the turn. But it's too big. The deplorable measure is the degree, but it's meaningless. The best and most useful measure is the radian, and that comes about as follows. Given an angle, we can make the vertex the center of a circle, and for convenience, we'll make the circle have a radius of one, and this allows us to measure the angle in another way. The radian measure of an angle is the distance between the legs as measured a longer unit circle centered at the vertex of the angle. For example, an angle has a measure of a quarter turn. What's its radian measure measured counterclockwise? Since we don't want to make this problem harder than it has to be, we'll draw a picture. For the radian measure, we'll draw a unit circle centered at the vertex. We'll draw an angle that corresponds to a quarter turn rotation. Since the angle has a measure of a quarter turn, we'll walk one quarter of the way around the circle. Now, we need to know how far we've walked, so we want to find the circumference of a circle with a radius of one. So the circumference of any circle is 2 pi times the radius, and since the radius is one, our circumference will be We've walked one quarter of the way around the circle, so we've walked one quarter of the circumference, and so that distance is one half pi. Now, something worth keeping in mind is that you can say the angle measure is one half pi. If you're using radians, you don't need to specify radians, but you can if you want to. Or we might convert into radian measure, two full turns, 30 degrees. Since one turn is once around the circle, and the distance we'd have to go to go once around the circle is 2 pi, then one turn is 2 pi radians, so two turns will be 4 pi radians. Since 360 degrees is once around the circle, we know that 360 degrees must be 2 pi radians, and for variety's sake, we won't specify radians this time because we don't have to. Now, if I want to get 30 degrees, let's find one degree. Let's divide through by 360, and so we know that one degree is 2 pi over 360 radians. Well, that was useless. I didn't want one degree. I wanted 30 degrees. Oh wait, I can get 30 degrees by multiplying by 30, and I get 30 degrees is equal to this product, which we can simplify to 1 6 pi radians.


Investing in stocks or stock market is one of the best ways to make passive income and retire rich. But in most countries, investing in stocks is very risky, if the country is not politically and economically stable. If Warren Buffett made billions of dollars, it's not all about his personal intelligence, there are many other factors too. Like the United States' political stability or corruption, government policies against companies and there are so many other factors too that we can talk about. Of course in every country, this corruption, government is strict or harsh policies, but compared to other countries, United States is more safe and stable. And what about South Korea? During the last 70 years, I can say that South Korea also has been a safe country and it will be. But still, North Korea has its effects on South Korea's economic system and political stability. South Korean stocks are being devalued, there are many Koreans who invested in the US market and there are fewer foreigners who invested in Korean stocks or stock market. And there is only one big reason, and that is North Korea. I wish someday there is 100% peace between the North and the South. But still, till that time, are you planning to invest in Korean stocks or stock market? I will show you some of the good stocks in South Korea if you're planning to invest in. But before investing in stocks, please talk to your financial advisors guys, because my videos are only for educational purposes. If you're trying to make money in a month, get rich quick. I do not recommend you to invest in any kind of stocks, because the risk is too high. But if you have a long-term plan and these stocks that I'm going to share with you are better choices. And number one, Kakao Corporation. Kakao Corporation is my first pick. The first thing that I see in an stock is actually that I see from macroeconomic point. And then what industry is the stock in? Is the industry a growing industry? Or no. At the end, I come to internal factors like fundamental and technical analysis. Like dividend yields, PE ratio, PIG ratio, and also like a company's debt. And most companies PE ratio, PIG ratio and dividend yields can be volatile in a short run. Don't trust the short run guys. As long as the company revenue is growing organically and its debt is smaller than the revenue, then the company is a good company. And number two, Koopang stocks. Koopang's price is started from $48 and now it is $16. But still I believe this company is growing organically and the e-commerce industry is one of the fastest growing industries. And that is why I say there is a big hope. Koopang has big competitors like Amazon and Never. But this industry will not let Koopang to fail actually. And the third one is Samsung SDI. This company has been growing rapidly since January 2017. Like 300% growth. I don't say that this is the best company to invest in because it's growing rapidly. Companies in the growing industries may grow rapidly. Yes, Samsung SDI did very well. And I can say that this company can grow at the same pace till 5 to 10 years. Because nowadays batteries and electronic materials are in high demand. Especially from well-known brands like Samsung. There are many other good companies as well guys. Like SK Hynex, Samsung Electronics. But if you're planning to invest, first try to choose the right industry. A growing industry can help a bad company to survive in harsh situations. And a good situation can make you rich. Electronics, batteries, semiconductors, AI and virtual companies can be the best choices. Ok guys, please comment below. If you're interested to invest in Korean stocks or stock market. And if you have a specific question, please email me. And also don't forget to subscribe to the channel, hit the like button. And I will see you in the next video. Thanks and have a good day.


Ma'am, you are on mute. Thank you. Okay, welcome back to class. Before we went for our break, we were looking at the how of Incarnation and we looked at Philippians chapter 2. We saw a few verses there and the seven steps of Incarnation. So can somebody tell me what are, you know, when Jesus became man, he was 100% God, 100% man. But can somebody tell me of, or each one can say one aspect, one aspect of what, you know, are the limitations he took on, you know, when he became fully man. He was fully God, was fully man when he lived here on the earth, but what are the limitations, what aspects did he limit himself to? Or he did not take upon himself when he became man. He was not omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent. Okay, so thank you, John.  Can somebody else tell me another aspect that Jesus gave up when he became man? Another aspect of his divine nature that he gave up when he became man? Being himself of no repetition. Okay, so what do you mean by that? That he is empty himself of being equal with God. Okay, thank you. Can you please mute your mic? Yeah, thank you. So we see that, you know, he did not consider being equal with God, his equality with God, he gave up his position of being equal with God and hence gave up his right of being worshipped or being honored as God. Okay, anything else he gave up? Another important thing, I've been explaining about that. One we saw was the nature, his eternal nature of being omnipotent, omniscient, he gave up his position of being equal with God, he was equal with God the Father. And another important thing, what is doxa? The Greek word doxa when translated in English. He operated in sonship glory. Doxa means glory. Okay, thank you John. So he gave up the glory of being God because he took on the glory of man, that is the sonship glory. Did he get back his divine glory when he went back to heaven? Yes, he did. Yes, he did. How do we know that? Philippines 28. Philippines 28, okay. And John chapter 17 as well. I've been talking about the high priestly prayer of Jesus. Okay. Why did he give up his eternal glory? Why did he take on sonship glory? Why didn't he dwell in his eternal glory when he lived here? I just explained that sometime back. It's very important. I've explained it a couple of times as well. Why did he give up the glory of being God, his divine glory? Come on class, explain that quite a bit. Because he chose to do that to fulfill the purpose of God on earth. Thank you, Silatoli. He chose to do that. Okay. Yes, he chose to do it, but why did he choose to do it? Yes, go ahead, Lubega. I think basically to save mankind, to save you, me and all others in the class. Okay. How to save us? Through dying, a humiliation, death on the cross. Okay. Now, if he came in his divine glory, what would have happened? Would we be able to see him, touch him, experience him, walk with him, talk to him? No. Yeah, of course we could talk to him, but we can't see him, we can't touch him because... Why? Go ahead, Lubega. I think it would be impossible for them to touch him without his choice. Because we see that even when they were going, when Judas Scarlet had betrayed him, these people did not know he was. That's why they chose to... They chose a sign of kissing him or hugging him. And we say... There is where we read in the Bible, extra biblical context where himself, when he said, come and arrest me, they would all fall off. So you see it wasn't possible if he had not given himself in and said, now you can come and take me over. Okay. Thank you. I think we should do a question-answer round of more of a reflective question so that I'm able to understand or even know whether you have gathered all the truths and the information, because this is so important. Well, I said that in his divine nature, God, his divine glory, he lives in unapproachable light that no man has seen or can see. And I quoted this from 1 Timothy, chapter 6, verse 16. So if Jesus had come down as man, then there would be no use. Absolutely for us, we wouldn't have been able to see him, touch him, or even for him to reveal the nature of God, for us to know the nature of God because he lives in unapproachable light in the glory of his, you know, of him being God. Okay. And we can't see him. So he gave up the glory of being God, his divine glory, and that's why he took on his sonship glory. Okay. So this is very, very important. And who did he give his sonship glory to? Who did he give his sonship glory to? To each one of us. To each one of us. Where do we read about this? Where does he ask his father to give back his glory of being God? John chapter 17. Okay. Thank you. John chapter 17. So like y'all to, you know, even as we're doing a quick quiz about what we have studied, it's good to follow through, make notes, all of these important points. Okay. So why did God, why did Jesus become incarnate? Why did Jesus become incarnate? Come on. It's very simple. Why did Jesus become incarnate? Why did he become man? What was the primary reason? Yes. Go ahead, Lubeka. I think he was to save human beings. He came here to remove the sin that was put here by Adam and Eve and to take back to the kingdom of God. Okay. Thank you. That was one of the reasons, but the other reason, what was the other reason? To give us back a relationship with the Lord, with God. Thank you. That was the primary reason also to, you know, you know, join back our relationship with God, reconcile mankind back to God because that's the very reason that God created us. The very reason he created Adam and Eve is so that he could fellowship with us to have a relationship and that relationship was broken because of sin. And so we see that God becoming man was so that people could really understand the heart of God. Okay. Not misunderstand, but understand the true heart and the true nature of God. Yes. Go ahead, Lubeka. To fulfill the prophecy in Genesis 3, where the Bible, where God told Satan through in the snake form that the son of man or the son of that woman will come and crush your head. It was to fulfill the prophecies of the OT. Okay. Okay. Thank you. The seed of the woman. Thank you. Yes. So we see that, you know, basically was to get back in our relationship with God for us, for him to manifest or reveal the true nature of God and also to die on the cross for our sins. Okay. Now we look at God manifested in the flesh. Please turn to 1st Timothy chapter 3, verse 16, please. Can all of you turn to 1st Timothy chapter 3, verse 16? And what can somebody who's not read so far, can you read 1st Timothy chapter 3, verse 16? I can go. Yeah. And without controversy, great is the mystery of Godliness. God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory. Thank you, Joy. So in 1st Timothy chapter 3, verse 16, we see a revelation of the mystery of Godliness. Now this phrase without controversy means without any questions or without dispute or beyond any questions. And if you look at in the literal translations and the manuscripts, the original manuscripts, the word God is not there. So it reads as the mystery of Godliness who was manifested in the flesh. And now we know what's meaning of mystery. It is something that is hidden. Okay. But this mystery that is hidden about who God is, the revelation of God, you know, has now been known, has now been manifested. It was once hidden, but it's now manifested. It's made known to us. Okay. So therefore 1st Timothy chapter 3, verse 16 is teaching us about the Incarnation. God who previously existed, he was before time, for all time, but was unknown to the world, but in a certain point in time, certain place in a certain period in history, God manifested himself and made himself known to mankind. Okay. So that is the meaning of God manifested in the flesh. God with us, Matthew chapter 1, verse 23. Can somebody read that please? Matthew chapter 1, verse 23. Matthew chapter 1, verses 23.  So we see that Incarnation Emmanuel, that is God with us, someone we could see in a very real close way experience. He was somebody who was God, but was with man. Okay. So from this lesson, what do we basically gather is God revealed himself in the person of Jesus Christ. Since God is unchangeable, we learned about this attribute of God and we looked at it in Manukai chapter 3, verse 6. We see that Christ is the full and complete revelation of God, and therefore there is no more need for any more revelation of God. He is more than sufficient, more than enough. So we don't need one more revelation of God. We see that in the Incarnation, God came to be with man. He dwelt with man. He tabernacled with man. And when he became man, he did not cease to become God. He was fully God. He was fully man.  So the Incarnation is not about a man becoming a God. Okay. We have so-called God-man, you know, this term that we use for men on earth who are like saints, who are gurus. We call them as God-men, or God-man. And he's not somebody who was man and became God, but he was God who became man. And when we say that he was not a man who became God, we're not talking about him having some mystical experiences or some divine enlightenment like others had, but this is totally different. He is God. And he became man. Okay. So in the Incarnation, God became man in totality. He took on the fullness of human kind, of human beings. He was fully man. He had a spirit soul and body. And his humanity was real and total. Okay. So the next chapter we'll look at, we'll study about the humanity of Christ. Before we look at chapter six, the humanity of Christ, anyone has any questions this lesson? I would humbly request, you know, each one of you please take time to go through chapter five. Okay. It is very, very important for our understanding how Jesus was fully God and fully man when he lived on this earth. What were his, you know, what did he limit himself to? What did he not take upon himself? What did he take upon himself also as well? It's very important for you to know these are foundational truths. And if you need to know it for yourself, you need to read it. And if you have to explain it to others and teach it to others, you have to read it as well. Please request you humbly to please take time to read chapter five. Okay. If there are no questions, no comments, can we move on to chapter six, please? Yes, no, no response. Yes, ma'am, we can move to the next chapter. Okay. I thought chapter five was too heavy for all of you. Anyway, we'll move on to chapter six. In this chapter, we're going to look at a close glimpse of the humanity of Christ. We know that, and we will discover as well that he was human in all aspects, in all areas. And we'll also look at this fact that he willingly restricted himself or gave himself up to the frailties, the limitations of mankind. And was in every way a human being just like you and I, except in one area. Can you tell me which area? I repeat my question. I said that in every area, he was just like you and I, just like any other human being, except in one area. Which was that? Sin. Yes. Yes. Thank you. Except in the area of being sinless. He was not sinful like each one of us. And that is why we see that he was not even born in sin. He was born to a virgin. Okay. And who was not married, who had not known any man. He was totally sinless. He lived a sinless life. And that was one aspect that he did not have of us being human beings. But in every other way, in weakness, frailties, every other way he was human just like you and I. And this is something that we need to grasp. This is something very important that we need to grasp about the incarnation that he was like us in every way, except without sin. Okay. Now, why was it necessary for Jesus to become a human? Just a few reasons that we could summarize. Important reasons is no Christ humanity. If he was, he had not become human. He could not reveal God the father to us. And we could not fully understand the father heart of God. The attributes, the nature of God. Okay. We also see that the humanity of Christ provided the basis for, you know, though, for identifying with mankind. Okay. So also for God to identify with mankind and for his substitutionary work being substitute on our behalf that he can be the full sufficient perfect sacrifice for our sins. He can make it for our sins. He can also be the perfect mediator for mankind. Okay. And through his humanity, Christ was also able to set us an example. Now, how did he set us an example? When God became man, when Jesus became man, he set us an example. In which areas did he set us an example? Holiness, how to walk worthy. Because we saw that the standard in the Old Testament and the New Testament that God requires of us is just one, the same standard, be holy as I am holy. That's what God says. Thank you, John. Go ahead, Joy. I was going to say the same. Sorry. Okay. Yeah. Thank you. Anyone else? How else did he set us an example? Yes. He was obedient. Remember, I said he willingly submitted to God. He submitted and surrendered to the father, even though he was God, fully God, when he lived here on this earth, he willingly surrendered. He was obedient to the father. He aligned his will to the father's will. Okay. So that's so important for us to notice. And so he set us an example in the area of obedience and the area of aligning our will to God's will. Okay. What else did he set us an example in? Yes. Go ahead. Sitakino. Ma'am, humbleness by washing the feet of his disciples. Okay. Humility.  He gave up his position, his right to be worshiped as God, and he humbled himself as a servant. Thank you. Lubega, did I see your hand up? Lubega? No, pastor. Okay. Sorry. Okay. Anyone else? You also set us an example that in the sonship glory that he had, that he lived in, he was able to manifest the father. That means he was able to manifest who God is and what he does. And when he has given us the same sonship glory, we too can manifest who God is and what he does. So we can manifest who God is to the fruit of the spirit. Of course, it is the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. And we can manifest what God does through the works or the gifts of the Spirit. Okay. The nine gifts of the Spirit. So Jesus, when he did the miracles, he did it not in his, we look at that, not in his divine nature, but in him being totally human through the empowering of the Holy Spirit, we also have been given the same empowering of the Holy Spirit. You can do much more than I have done. You can do greater miracles than I have done because I'm going to the Father. That means we too can do the same miracles that Jesus has done. Okay. So he set us an example in all of these areas. Okay. So to what Jesus did for us, you know, for what he did for us as human beings, we have the privilege of being his sons and daughters being part of his family. And we are also able to understand, you know, how we can live and how he lived and how he did things on this earth. So we too can imitate him. He took and he too is our role model that we can follow. Okay. So we look at some aspects of his humanity of him being 100% human being. He was born of a woman. Galatians chapter four was four tells us that can somebody read that please Galatians chapter four was four Galatians chapter four versus four, but when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth his son born of a woman born under the law. Thank you. So here we see the first step of him becoming human. He was born of a woman. You know, we're all born of a woman and it describes our human origin. It also, you know, describes and shows that our weaknesses and our abilities. So imagine the son of God, you know, limiting himself and subjecting himself to the whole psychological or physiological process of development within the womb, the process of childbirth, infancy and growth. And so we see that he limited himself to even the physiological process of development. So we, you know, if he wanted to become man, he could just come down as a full grown man. Okay. And just do his three years of ministry and go, but he limited himself in to the very point of, you know, the whole process of development of being within the womb, you know, the process of childbirth, infancy and growth. His humanity can also be seen, you know, that when we read in Luke chapter two was 40 that he grew up like a child intellectually. You know, Luke chapter two was 52. We see that he increased in wisdom. John chapter four was seven and was chapter 19 was 28 says he thirsted. Luke four two and Matthew 21 was 18 says he was hungry. He hungered. He felt pain. Hebrews five eight. He also expressed compassion. We see, you know, before he did a lot of miracles. We see this phrase used again and again. He was moved with compassion. He expressed joy. John chapter 15 was 11. He also expressed anger.  He was also angry with how they had made his father's house. Okay. So he expressed anger. He expressed sorrow. Matthew chapter 26, 37 to 38, you know, he was sorrowful to the point of death in the garden of Gethsemane. He was also lonely. Matthew chapter 27 was 38. And we see in Matthew chapter four was 11. He was tempted just like you and I were tempted. So we see that he was fully man. He went, he had all of these weaknesses, all the limitations that you and I have has human beings. Okay. As a human being, we see that, you know, he came in the descent of David. Romans chapter one was three says concerning his son Jesus Christ, our Lord was born of the seed of David according to the flesh. So we see he has a natural lineage that he was identified to Romans chapter nine versus four and five. Can somebody read that please? Romans chapter nine versus four and five. Somebody who's not read can read Romans chapter nine versus four and five. Okay. Can somebody just read that? Anyone? To whom belongs production essence and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the law and the temple service and the promises. Who's are the fathers and from whom is priced according to the flesh who is overall. Oh, God bless it forever. Amen. Okay.  So we see that he was not only from the seed of David in this natural lineage, but he also had the natural lineage of being a Jew of being of the nation of Israel. Okay. In John, one John chapter one verses one to three talks about we have heard him, we have seen and and our hands have handled. Okay. So that means people have had personal relationship with this God incarnate who they have heard, they have seen and they have handled. Can somebody read one John chapter one verses one to three? First John chapter one verses one to three, that which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and our hands have handled concerning the world of life. The life was manifested and we have seen and we have witnessed and declared to you that eternal life, which was with the father and was manifested to us, that which we have seen and heard, we declared to you that you may have fellowship with us and truly our fellowship is with the father and his son, Jesus Christ. Thank you. So here the apostle is testifying or giving his personal testimony about his relationship with the incarnate son of God.  So his humanity was real. He was truly flesh and blood. And this is whom they are writing about. This is whom they are revealing. This is whom they are preaching about. Okay. The next one is that, you know, this God who is incarnate, the eternal Logos who became flesh is our mediator. Okay. First Timothy chapter two was five. Can somebody read that please? For there is one. Okay. Thank you for there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. Okay. So here we look at the mediatory role of the man that is talking about Jesus Christ. Okay. So we see as a mediator, you know, as, as being fully God and fully man when he was on this earth, he was a true representative of the human race to the father. He represented the human race to the father. He also was somebody, you know, who revealed or the exact representation of the father. So he revealed the father to us. And hence we see as a mediator, he actually, you know, built the bridges or the gap between God and man that was caused because of sin. As, as humankind, we were not able to reach out to God. It was because of our sinfulness, our simile estate that we were in slaves of sin, slave of the devil. And, you know, in our frailties, we could not reach up to him, but it was because of what Jesus did on the cross, you know, that we could, we have direct access to the father. Yes, people in the Old Testament had access to God, but they had to go through the priests. They had to go through, you know, the, the judges or the prophets or the leaders whom God had chosen. And we see that when Jesus died on the cross, the curtain of the temple that separates the courts and the most holy of holies was torn into two, which says that, you know, we all have access to the most holy place that we have access to God, the father. So as a mediator, he reconciled us back to God. He was a true representative of mankind to God. He also was a true representative of God to mankind and also was somebody who, you know, was able to build the bridges, the gaps that we can personally, you know, approach God. We can go before the throne of grace and receive grace and mercy to help us in the time of need. Okay, so by becoming incarnate, God was reaching down to man in Christ Jesus and man was also reaching back to God through Jesus Christ. Okay, so through Jesus Christ, God and men were reconciled to each other. We were reconciled through the man Jesus Christ. And Jesus Christ was also a man approved by God. Acts chapter two was 22. Can somebody read that, please? Acts chapter two was 22. Men of Israel hear these words. Jesus of Nazareth and men arrested by God through you by miracles. Wonders and signs which God did through him in your midst as you yourself also know. Okay, thank you. So this is Peter when he was addressing the crowd just right after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. And he reveals an important truth about the humanity of Christ. He says here that the miracles that Jesus did is linked to his humanity and not him being deity or not him being God. Okay, it says here that a man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs which God did through you in your midst as you yourself know. Okay, so the mighty miracles that Jesus did, very important to note here, please listen. The mighty miracles that Jesus did, not only the mighty, even if you think about the simple miracles, whatever, all of the miracles, you know, he did it as being man, being human and being within the limitations of his humanity. Okay, so Jesus did all the science miracles and wonders by him being man. Okay, and we see that Jesus himself never attributes his miracle working power or the miracles he's done to him being deity. At the very beginning of his ministry, he declares in Luke chapter 4, verses 18 and 19, he says, the Holy Spirit was upon him because God has anointed him. Okay, even after his temptation, we see that he, you know, he went to Galilee with full of the spirit. Okay, so we see that he also did miracles because he was sent by the Father. John chapter 5 was 36 and chapter 10 was his 24 and 25. Okay, so we see that the miracles and signs he did were not of him being God, but because he was sent by the Father and he did it to the empowering power of the Holy Spirit and the indwelling presence of the Father. That we read in John chapter 14 verse 10 and 11. And hence the apostles, they recognized this fact because they were with him, they're able to see it and they attributed the healing works of Christ to the power of the Holy Spirit. We read this in Acts chapter 10 verse 38. And why do they know it for sure is because when Jesus sent them out in twos and also he sent the 70 later on, they went and did mighty miracles. There were no way God, but they knew that they did it to the power of the Holy Spirit. Okay, so in John chapter 20 verses 21 and 22, we read that just before Jesus ascended back to heaven, back to his Father, he commissioned his disciples saying, as the Father has sent me, I also send you and then he said this to them, he breathed on them and said to them, receive the Holy Spirit. Okay, receive the Holy Spirit. Now we know that this was there, that this was just after he came back from his, after he finished the work on the cross. So when he breathed on them and received the Holy Spirit, they were basically talking about their born again experience. But again, we see later on Jesus talking about it when he tells them, you know, wait in Jerusalem till you've been endued or till you've been clothed or endowed with power from on high. And that is when we see that they were baptized in the Holy Spirit and we see that nothing stopped them and they did mighty miracles that even the shadow was able to heal and deliver people. Okay, so we see that and it's important to note that when Jesus did all of these science miracles and wonders, when he lived on the earth, he did it to the empowering power of the Holy Spirit. And it was the Holy Spirit that, you know, enabled him to do all of these miracles. And when he went back to the Father, he promised his disciples and all who were with him or who believed in him that he will send us the Holy Spirit and we see the Holy Spirit coming upon the disciples and the others, 120 of them, you know, and empowered them to do miraculous works which he did. Okay, we'll move on to his days in the flesh. Hebrews chapter 5 verse 7 to 9. Can somebody read that? Hebrews chapter 5 verse 7 and 9, please. Hebrews chapter 5 verses 7 to 9. Who in the days of his flesh when he had offered up prayers and supplication with the women, Christ and tears to him who was able to save from death and was heard because of his godly fear. Though he was a son, yet he learned obedience by the things which he suffered. And having been perfected, he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him. Thank you. So here we see, you know, numerous references to his humanity of Christ in the days of his flesh. So we see that he prayed in verse 7. We read that he offered up prayers and supplications. He prayed for people. He prayed for himself. He prayed for the, you know, to do the will and the purpose for which he had come. We also see that he wept in verse 7 with vehement cries and tears. In verse 8, we read that he revered the father. You know, he, he, he honored him. He obeyed him and he gave reverence to the father and everything that he did. So we read about godly fear. His godly fear in Hebrews chapter 5 verse 8. And we also see that he was obedient to the father. He learned obedience. That means he was taught by the father. And that is why we see Jesus spending the entire night, you know, with the father. Most nights spent with the father, hearing the father, talking to the father. And that's why we see when he gets up in the morning, he, you know, he knows what to do, where to go, how to respond to people and how to minister to people. And that's why we see that when he goes to the pool, you know, he heals only one person and not everybody because there's so many sick people. It's basically because he hears what his father tells him to do and he does exactly that. Okay. We also see in verse 8 that he experienced pain and anguish because he suffered. In verse 9, you know, having been perfected, that means Jesus had to prove himself qualified to be the author of our salvation and how did he have to prove it? He had to live in obedience. He had to align his will to the father's will. He, you know, had to take on that cup of suffering, drink the cup of sinfulness of the entire mankind. He who knew no sin, had no sin, lived in no sin, had to take on the sins of mankind, which was something that was quite distressing, quite, it was a moment of anguish, of something quite detestable for God, you know, to even sin or to take on sin because he was somebody who was sinless, but he took it on because it was the will of the father and he died in our place and he took upon our sins and became the full, sufficient, perfect sacrifice, thus reconciling mankind back to God. Okay. So he walked in submission to the father in his humanity. We also see that something that we need to model to live in total submission, surrender, obedience to the father, you know, and 1 Peter chapter 2 was 21. The apostle Peter writes that in his suffering, he left us an example that we should follow in his steps. So every time we feel hungry, we feel lonely, we feel deserted, we feel pain, we go through anguish, we, near-death experiences, losing our loved ones, we know that we have a God who identifies with us, our mediator, who became one amongst us, one like us and who understands us, understands our friendlies. You know, that's why it says that, you know, even though he was tempted, he did not yield to temptation, but he understands our weaknesses. He knows our friendlies, he knows our weaknesses.  He just didn't come to reveal the father and die on the cross for our sins and, you know, fulfill the purpose of God. But he came, you know, so that he can identify with us and he knows what each one of us are going through, loss, pain, suffering, loneliness, you name it. He knows it because he's gone through it. He identifies with you, he understands. Okay. The last one is the man who will judge the World Acts, chapter 17 was 30 and 31. Can somebody read that, please? Acts chapter 17 verses 30 and 31. Truly, this times of ignorance God overlooked but now commands all men everywhere to repent because he has appointed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained. He has given assurance to his all by raising him from dead. Thank you. So here we see that, you know, not only was salvation for the entire mankind was promised through the man Jesus Christ, God who became man, the Logos, the eternal Logos who became man, but we also see that the judgment of the world will also be executed by man. It's interesting to know that, you know, that we will be judged by someone who actually lived amongst us and walked as one of us, you know, who was part of us just like each one of us being human like us. So he not only came to, you know, bring us salvation but he will also judge us in righteousness because he himself is God. Okay, so this is talking about the humanity of Christ. So today we basically studied the aspects of his incarnation. We understood, we gathered information about the how of incarnation and we also looked at the humanity of Christ. So any questions anyone has? Any comments, anything you all didn't understand? You want me to explain again? All is clear? Okay, if there are no questions, no doubts, I'll request you to please go through, thank you Joy, go through chapter 5, very, very important, chapter 6 as well. In fact, most of these lessons please read through and you know, it will help in your understanding. Now I'm going to give you a test because we've kind of finished six lessons. So if you noticed I'm going to give you three tests. One is 30 marks, two are 30 marks and one is 40. So we basically have 13 chapters. So we'll do four chapters or three chapters, we'll do the first three chapters then we'll do the second three chapters and then we'll do or we'll do four chapters each, right? For the first test we'll have the first four chapters then for the second test, we'll have the second four chapters and then the last test which is 40 marks, we'll have the last five chapters, okay? So we'll have a test on the first four chapters. Would you like to suggest a date please or do you want me to give you a date? So can we have it on February 14th if nobody is saying anything? Can we have our first test on February 14th? Is that okay? Yeah, okay. Okay, so first four chapters. The pre-existence of Christ is equality with the Father and the Spirit, His role in creation and the promise of His coming. I will post it again in the classroom page or the stream page and you can check on that and I'll give you all the instructions for the test and it's not going to be true or false or like objective types, it's going to be question answers so something that you have understood and you're going to write and I'll give you all the instructions in when you're going to write the test. Okay, is that fine? Feb 14th our first test? Yes, no? Okay, fine. Okay, thank you everyone for joining class. Have a good day and a good week ahead, a blessed week ahead. God bless all of you. Thank you. Thank you, pastor. Goodbye.


QuickBooks Online 2023, e-commerce, Amazon sales, manual journal entry method, Excel example. Get ready to earn the skills needed to boost your bank books on up with QuickBooks Online 2023. Here we are in our QuickBooks Online Test Company file using the accountant view as opposed to the business view you can toggle between the two views by going to the cog up top, switch the view down below. We've been looking at e-commerce situations where we are selling inventory but not on ground in a store but rather online in the web using third-party applications for example such as a Shopify or an Amazon for example. In prior presentations we looked at some examples that mainly focused on the structure of a Shopify structure. Now we'll focus more in on an Amazon type of situation noting that the general concepts are going to be much the same no matter what the third-party platform is because we have a similar structure of needing to take the sales kind of information from the third-party platform into the QuickBooks. However, Amazon could have different structures related to you know how you're tracking inventory and whatnot and it could have different structures with who's responsible for example with the sales tax and as a result some of the reports on the Amazon could be a little bit longer than with the Shopify type of situation so we'll see a few more categories when we think about our journal entry in the an Amazon type of situation but note the basic support accounting instruction by clicking the link below giving you a free month membership to all of the content on our website broken out by category further broken out by course each course then organized in a logical reasonable fashion making it much more easy to find what you need than can be done on a YouTube page. We also include added resources such as Excel practice problems PDF files and more like QuickBooks backup files when applicable so once again click the link below for a free month membership to our website and all the content on it kind of ideas that you have available to pull the data in are much the same we can either just try to use the bank feeds or we can try to use a manual method to pull the information from the Amazon and put it in with a journal entry as well as with the bank feeds in combination with the bank feeds we can use the QBO commerce which has a similar connection method which we'll talk about in future presentations I could do the same thing with Amazon as with Shopify and then we have the third-party applications that could do a similar process as well such as an A2X all of these methods will be utilizing bank feeds within them as well so we'll talk about this in Excel first so we can kind of see it in a more transparent way using the manual method noting that when we use these integration softwares they're going to do a similar thing as we're doing with the manual method it's just that it's going to automate the grouping so we'll still have to deal most likely with these clearing accounts and whatnot unless we try to use some kind of third-party software that pulled in every transaction which most people recommend against because it kind of bogs down the information in QuickBooks over time possibly and because it could be redundant information I'm going to build this again in Excel from scratch so if you don't want to build it from scratch you can kind of follow along once we have it constructed but I want to build it from the ground up so you can you can work with the Excel as well if you so choose so we just got a blank Excel sheet I'm going to zoom in a bit holding control zooming in so I'm scrolling up to 205 let's go up to like I don't know 235 I'm going to select the whole sheet with the triangle up top I'm going to right click on this sheet and format the cells then I'm going to go to currency to start off with and I like to go with the negatives here and get rid of the dollar sign we'll keep the decimals I'm just going to put my data on the left so I'm going to name the sheet like Amazon payout example example and I'm going to make this a little bit wider and let's say that I'm going to select let's I'm probably going to need it wider than that I'm going to select these two cells for my header home tab and font group I'm going to make this black and white as is my custom for header situations and then we'll put some of our data so I'm going to kind of copy and paste the data as we go in go into this I'm just going to say the first component is going to be Amazon payout pays out basically every two weeks and so I'm going to imagine the payout is 308 dollars and 47 cents that's going to be the payout by the way I've got this whole thing selected home tab and bolded font group and bold and there's brackets around this if you want to add the brackets you can go to the font group and put the borders around the whole thing so now I'm going to add the details so we are imagining a similar situation as we did with the Shopify in that we were pulling our information I'm just going to go to a Shopify website but we're imagining now we're doing a similar process with like an amazon website in that we could see the payout information we can go to the amazon website and see the payout information from the amazon website and I believe they pay out like every two weeks so the payout is going to be including a bunch of different sales hopefully if we're selling a bunch of stuff it's not coming in sale by sale it's got a bunch of different sales that are being grouped together in that payout what we would like to do is take the information from amazon and break it out so that we can then see the detail and then we're going to enter a journal entry in a similar fashion so that's what so now we're going to imagine we're going into amazon in a similar fashion as we did with like a Shopify pull out the detail of this particular payment so that we can see all of the line items within it now amazon again because amazon might be taking care of a lot more things uh than possibly a Shopify where you might be responsible for more items than the amazon might have more line items that you're going to have to deal with and say well where does this line item go and so uh so you might have to do a little bit of research but once you figure it out you can have a template of all of the line items where these where the amazon charges and whatnot can go so for example i i'm just going to make up some stuff here that might be on like an amazon report i got commissions for amazon and we're going to say these are these are the order item fees uh 90 dollars and 26 cents and then i'm going to just i'm going to copy these over so i don't have to you know watch me type it commission for amazon refund item fees i'm going to say that's 16 dollars we're going to say that we have a line item for uh a disposal uh other transactions 17 cents we've got a line item for fba per unit fulfillment fee 87 we've got a line item for principal amazon order item fee uh so that's the order item price and then we're going to say we have another one for principal amazon refund item price so refund we're going to say we have another one for refund commission amazon refund item fees let's make that a little bit larger so we could see it something like that and so then we've got another one for sales tax service fee now amazon and something like a Shopify for sales tax which we might get into a little bit later could have different rules on the sales tax for because amazon for example uh in some cases might be more responsible for sales tax in most uh states but there could be some states where they're not responsible for sales tax in which case you might be responsible for sales tax if you qualify to be subject to sales tax in the state and so on and so forth so that's the whole so we could dive into that later but there's that we got another line item uh shipping amazon order price we've got another line item we're gonna say is shipping amazon order promotion and another line item that we're gonna say is shipping charge back we're gonna say another amazon line item which is going to be shipping tax amazon order order item price another line item we're gonna say a storage fee other transaction another line item we're gonna say is tax amazon another line item tax amazon refund item price and then balance of the settlement and i'm gonna sum this up to some so this is going to be a sum formula equals the sum of all this stuff and that comes out and this should uh this should equal this number up top so i'm gonna change this number up top and i'm gonna make it positive by saying negative of this number and that's going to be our our deposit so if we just if we if we just allowed the deposit to happen and i've got a bunch of empty empty rows up top let me delete some of these rows i'm gonna put my cursor on column or row one down to row five right click click the selected rows and delete them so if we just waited for the deposit to happen we would just be entering the deposit and we wouldn't be taken into account all those different stuff that is happening down here which is you know there's more more there's a whole bunch of potential line items that can go on in an amazon store again depending on how your amazon store is going to be set up so if we don't take all this into account we're just gonna have that one line item we'll show we'll show an example of that now so let's basically build our little spreadsheet and we'll imagine that we're just going to wait till the deposit happens and then we'll do our journal entry method so that we take all of this other stuff into consideration so i'm going to build our same uh our same kind of worksheet to to see this in excel to to post this out in excel so i'm going to make this skinny i'm going to say these are the accounts this is going to be the debits and credits i'll make this one a little bit lighter i've got the hiccups i'm going to then make this black and white home tab font group black and white i want to make this the same skinny f needs to be the same skinny size as c so i'm going to put my cursor on c home tab format paint it to f and then let's build our trial balance i'm going to call this i'm going to put it down here accounts and then i'm going to call this the beginning trial balance and then these are going to be the journal entries and then this is going to be the end trial balance and i'm going to this needs to be an r trial tile balance we're flooring a bathroom or something with the tiles font black white center i'll make this black and white i'll make the accounts a little bit larger and then i'm just going to list out the accounts uh that we might use in this so i'm just going to list out checking checking account amazon payments clearing now we won't use all of these accounts using the cash method but when we convert to the the journal entry method we will use more of these accounts all right so amazon clearing what else do we have inventory inventory amazon sales tax payable equity amazon sales space space because i don't want it to repeat stuff refunds cost of goods sold amazon seller fees and charges amazon fba fees amazon shipping okay so there it is and i'll make the equities the middle so i usually make that like blue to to show that that's between the balance sheet and the income statement home tab font group i'm going to make it dark blue and white so that we can see this is basically our balance sheet on top of our income statement so we can see this all nice and transparent in one space i'm going to put a bunch of zeros here because there is nothing in our beginning balance we probably don't even need this column but i like to do the whole thing so that we could see the whole thing so i'm going to then sum this up this way so we're going to put our entries in here beginning balance plus the entries is the ending balance which is just the ending balance because we don't we don't have anything in the beginning balances but still i'm going to copy this down then same formula all the way down looks nice and then this is going to be the total debits and credits i'm going to sum this up equals the sum or famous sum formula sum it up and then i'll copy this across with the fill handle put an underline here maybe home tab font group underline and this is going to be our net net income boom all right and then we'll sum this up the net income is just everything from equity on down revenue minus expenses not including the total on the debits and credits i'm going to copy that across putting my cursor on the fill handle copy this across i know i'm doing this fast but we've done it before and it's not an excel course so i just want to map it out fairly quickly here and then i'm going to put some borders around this whole thing home tab font group borderize it let's make this middle column blue because that's where our data input is going to be that's what i like to do make it blue font group drop down i like the light blue which isn't here so i'm going to go to this thing standard colors that light blue right there that's what i'm going to use light blue and then down here i wanted to turn like red if it's not in balance which should be in balance with a zero so if it's anything other than zero although i'll give it a two a two dollar plus minus range uh to turn red if it goes outside that range so i'm going to say conditional formatting if it goes greater than two make it red and then conditional formatting if it goes if it goes wait that's the wrong one less than negative two make it red but if it's between negative that's not between where's my between thing but if it's between between there it is negative two and two then i want you to make it green because then we're good to go that's what green means right that's what green means so if it goes to three turns red if it goes to negative three turns red but if it's still under two we're good to go all right yo good to go all right yo okay uh all right let's make this let's say this was was uh negative or let's say this was negative three that's going to be negative numbers or income so i'm going to do another conditional formatting down here at the bottom i'll make this home tab font group let's make this black and white that's going to be my default i don't want it to turn red when it's negative because negative is actually good for a credit balance on net income so i want to right click on these cells format paint this thing and i don't want this negative thing there to turn red just for these cells turn that off don't do that and then i'm going to make it black and white and then and then i want it to be green when it's negative just to be sure that negative is good just so i can make sure i know that so i'm going to go up top and then say if this thing is greater than zero i don't want to use the same green fill because then it kind of gets confusing so i'm going to say i want to use a custom thing and just use the font color and i want to make it this green like that and then it didn't do it what happened k pas oh let's do it again i undid it i think i'm going to say if this is if it's less than if it's less than if it's less than zero that's when i want you to do it we want you to say then it's going to be uh custom and then font and then i want you to make it green okay that's what i want to see that's what i want to see all right then i'm going to delete this and then let's make this give us some some uh blue so i'm going to make this bordered and uh blue so there we have that okay okay so there we have it so so notice that it if i was so now i've got my little worksheet here let's do the simple method and then we'll do the more complex method in a following presentation so if it was just if we just waited till something cleared the bank then all we would have for our transaction would be using the bank feeds most likely this thing hits the checking account for the total of this amount the other side we just put into amazon sales our revenue account the credits are going to be negative and so what would happen in quickbooks we would just say it would do this increase the checking account and then the sales would go up in a credit direction which is actually good that's why i have a green number net income would go up by that and then and then at the at the end of of the year so that could be an easy thing to do right we don't have a lot of detail but it's like okay i can balance my checking account and my sales doesn't have all the detail but at least my net income would should be in essence right you know might we have timing differences we don't have all this detail but hopefully my net income uh is correct and maybe i don't even have to deal with sales tax because possibly amazon is the one that's responsible depending on your circumstances so so but you might get a 1099 like at the end of the year let's say you got a form 1099 at the end of the year let's say this was your year's worth of revenue and it says your revenue should be let's say 601.71 and so i'm gonna so the problem with that the easiest thing to do then is to say okay well if i make my income statement having this is my revenue uh then am then iris might get mad at me because and question me because they're gonna say i got a 1099 says that top line is revenue and we could we could do the simple estimate assumption thing and say well maybe the 1099 is just right and the difference is simply all this other stuff and instead of breaking all this other stuff out i'll just call it amazon charges and fees right so you could and so that could be the easiest thing to do right we could all right well then i'll just say that uh we'll just call it amazon charges and fees and then amazon revenue and we'll just say that the difference is going to be equal to what it says on the 1099 i assume i assume is correct minus this 39188 and so i'll just make my and if i did that i'll just make my amazon sales go up by this amount and then i'll make my net charges go up so there's no impact on the net income it's the same but now my revenue line lines up and hopefully you know the iris doesn't get mad at me or anything like that so that's one simple method you can use just like with the Shopify store if you had both Shopify and amazon you're probably going to use a similar method for both of them you can use a you know a nice easy method but still what don't you have using this method you you you don't have a lot of detail for your you know for taxes you don't have a lot of you know it's an estimate that's happening if you have to deal with sales taxes then you got it you're gonna have to find some way to deal with the sales tax unless amazon is the one that's responsible for the sales tax depending on your situation situation and obviously all these fees and charges uh could be useful information uh when you're doing internal bookkeeping and trying to think about what products you should be purchasing and where you should be selling different items if you have different stores for example should i sell it on amazon or elsewhere what should my price points be and all that kind of good stuff so let's just set up the worksheet now and imagine the second method so i'm going to put my cursor on column c the skinny and i'm going to go over to column j right click on the whole thing and copy it and i'll paste it right here on column k so now we have the same stuff over here i'm going to put my cursor on the on these items and delete and then i'll blueify this one right click and blueify it and then delete this stuff the second method let's go ahead and hide this stuff that we just did so we can see our new stuff right next to our data i'm going to put my cursor on column c drag over to column j cj there's cj right there and right click and hide that stuff so the second method would be that we try to we try to break we try to get this information from amazon for each payout every two week payout or whatever they do it and then try to break out in a journal entry this information and use a clearing account to then put it into uh that'll match our checking account so that might look something like this i'll do this fairly quickly i'm going to say i'm going to try to match up these line items so i'm going to say the first one is going to go to amazon amazon seller charges and fees i'm going to have some accounts that are repeated now you might group these differently i'm just giving an example here because all of these line items that come on an amazon sales report sheet might not have its own account in your general ledger you might group some of them together and the groupings that you decide are best could differ depending on what you think is is most important so i'm just gonna give some examples of how you might you know break this stuff out so i'm going to say the next one is going to be i'll put it into the same thing seller amazon fees and i'm going to pick this one up and then i'm going to say the next one is going to be let's say amazon fba and that's going to be the uh 17 hold on a second let's actually put that one in i'm just going to put that on the same one amazon seller fees for the 17 and then i'm going to go to the amazon fba what happened there i made it it's white because it's the other formatting i'm going to format paint this boom okay and then this one is going to be the 87 and then i'm going to put this one in the amazon uh fba so wait a second this is going to no this is going to be amazon sales hopefully i'm lining all these up doing this fairly quickly here amazon sales 701 and then amazon refunds so we had amazon refunds where's the amazon refunds oh i just called them refunds okay let's put amazon refunds amazon refunds all right and and that's going to be i'll just start copying these down i'll copy that down boom and then i've got uh fees more fees and seller charges and more fees and sell seller charges i'm going to say bringing these two down and then we've got amazon shipping so amazon shipping i'm going to say these three are amazon shipping that doesn't work you can't do that what are you doing amazon shipping and then i can copy these down amazon shipping and then amazon sales tax collection and so that's going to be that one and then we've got amazon uh fba fees i'll copy that down oh wait a sec that's not the one you copy down pull it together man pull it together and then sales tax amazon sales tax collected sales tax payable i think i'm going to put here and then again amazon sales tax and there we have that so i'm going to copy that down boom boom and then we finally have the amazon clearing account okay all right let's make all this blue i'm going to blueify this blue borders and the clearing accounts the negative sum of all of this stuff which comes out to my payment so there's our there's our journal entry now i hopefully i mapped this out all correctly so this is coming from there if i messed anything up you know i apologize but this is the idea right and if you want if you map it differently uh on some of these line items that you think it should be mapped differently then you can choose a different mapping and so on and this is a similar concept that you will you will see with the software if you use like quick books connect for example that they'll give you some suggested accounts to to tie these out to buddy but you can change them and customize them either if you do them manually or with the software all right let's post this out hopefully i have this right so i'm going to let's do this one at a time i'm going to say here we go here we go here we go now i could do all three of these at the same time so i'm going to say this is going to be fees amazon fees i'm going to say this is this plus this plus this whoop not that this one and then we're on the fba fees so amazon fba this is going to be let's say equal to that boom if oh no hold on a second amazon you're going too fast this equals the fba fees let's do let's do it and then i'll mark it after so amazon sales is going to equal that one and then i'll make that green amazon refunds is going to be right here it's going to equal that one and then i'll make it green and then amazon seller fees and charges is here double clicking on it because something's in it plus this plus this enter and greenify those amazon shipping equals this plus this plus this enter greenify those and then amazon sales tax payable is here equals uh that and greenify and then amazon fba fees double click on those plus this one enter greenify and then amazon sales tax payable double clicking on it because something's in it plus this plus this enter greenify and then the clearing account is here i'll say equals the clearing and that brings the debits and credits back down to zero with some possibly some rounding in it but and so then so here's our net amount so the net amount notice doesn't tie out exactly to what we had before the 391 88 because we had some you know balance sheet item with the sales tax up top but uh that's that's a general idea but now we've got the sales the sales the refunds which are contra sales accounts and then we've got the amazon seller fees the fba fees and the and and the shipping that we collected this is shipping that we collected income and then we're gonna have the shipping expenses possibly that will be on the expense side of things and uh you could argue whether these should be some of these should be included in cost of good sold uh or not but this is the the general idea to break out the detail so you can see this could be useful for kind of decision making uh and give us more detail and again it could help us with the sales tax if we have to deal with the sales tax uh and and that could depend on your current situation with amazon because for some states and in some situations they might be dealing with the sales tax which could make it easier in some cases on your end but obviously they charge for all that all that easiness so then we have this in the clearing account now we could have deposited this directly into the checking account because it should match what actually goes into our checking account and then we can use the matching mechanism to tie it out although if we did that in quickbooks we might not be able to use a journal entry but rather like a deposit form we could still use a deposit form and make a journal entry out of it in essence but uh the clearing account is a good conceptual framework so then we're going to see it go into the checking account and when it hits the checking account we'll see it happening on the bank feeds which will end up with a journal entry that looks like this i'm going to blue a fi down here and that's just simply going to be an increase to the checking account and a decrease to the clearing account for the net deposit so then once we see that clear using the bank feeds in quickbooks we would say this is going to increase amazon payments is going to decrease and we take it out of the clearing account and put it into the bank account that gives us the more detail now again if this is overwhelming to construct this note you might say well i'm going to do it the easy way i just want to connect amazon to quickbooks using the quickbooks connect app for example well quickbooks connect is still going to basically do this right it because it's not going to pull in all the data one at a time that would be even worse it's going to use this clearing account concept method to summarize the the transactions because that's the thing to do it's just trying to automate doing that it's going to try to pull in the the information from amazon and group it together in a similar fashion and it'll try to create some of these accounts so we can use their custom accounts that they they basically set up so it could be easier in that way but you're still going to have to deal with usually a clearing account and and deal with that same conceptual concept of grouping these transactions together putting them into one journal entry pulling them into a clearing account and then using the bank feeds to pull it from the clearing account into the checking account so we'll do that next time
