MR 5.F Last Things

I worked alone to watch the lecture video and take notes on it. My notes are posted above. Through the video I learned more about these last things. One of the things that particularly stood out to me is that even if we've been bad our whole lives if before we die we are facing God then we get to go to heaven yet if you've been good your whole life but before you die you are facing away from God then you go to hell. Personally, I think you should be judged on the accumulation of your actions through your life or at least the accumulation of actions should outweigh if you are facing God or not when you die.  

MR 5.E Analysis Sacraments

https://www.educreations.com/lesson/view/mr-5-e-sacraments/26618175/?s=IiOWgw&ref=app

I made this educreations alone. First I drew all the slides then took my notes outside and started speaking about them. It uses the banquet analogy from earlier in the chapter and connects it to the seven sacraments. It is pretty neat and it had information from me asking in class, the lecture video, and the book. I made the educreations even cooler by color coding the information into red for basic knowledge and then all the other colors were analysis or guides for me to analyze. 

MR 5.E analysis Apostles and Bishops

http://www.thinglink.com/scene/589493201761468416

I worked alone to make this thinglink about apostles and bishops. I took a picture of the apostles from the Internet and added lots of points on them. I used both information from class, the book, and the lecture video. This isn't just restating the facts because I go in depth to explain why it is important and not just basic facts. Finally, I made it pretty easy to read because it is mostly in chronological order. 

MR 5.D 4 marks of the church analysis

The church fathers are insanely important because they are the connection between God and man. They also administer the sacraments through Christ so we can be filled with grace, expelled from sin and eventually join God in heaven. According to the text, and Greek etymology of Catholic means universal. It ties to the four marks of the church since being universal is one of the four marks that the church must have to be the true church. The four marks of the church are 1) one (together, United) 2.) holy(since the church was founded by Christ who is holy) 3.) catholic(which means universal) and 4.) apostolic(apostles administer the sacraments to achieve holiness). Cyprian of Carthage says that "multitude withdraws because it does not wish to obey, yet the Church does not withdraw from Christ." The church therefore is one with Christ since it can't withdraw from Him. It also shows the flaws in humans since we can withdraw from the church at any time. The council of Constantinople I expertly states the 4 marks of the church when they say "I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father, who together with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who spoke through the prophets; in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church." The council includes all 4 that we talked about in class that are explained near the beginning of the paragraph. Finally, Cyril of Jerusalem perfectly states "[The Church] is called catholic, then, because it extends over the whole world, from end to end of the earth, and because it teaches universally and infallibly each and every doctrine which must come to the knowledge of men, concerning things visible and invisible, heavenly and earthly, and because it brings every race of men into subjection to godliness, governors and governed, learned and unlearned, and because it universally treats and heals every class of sins, those committed with the soul and those with the body, and it possesses within itself every conceivable form of virtue, in deeds and in words and in the spiritual gifts of every description." Personally, I feel like this quote perfectly explains everything you need you know about the word Catholic. It even touches up on a couple of ideas I didn't touch on in the beginning like  forgiveness of sin.  

MR 5.B kingdom of God

I worked with Zach and Carlos to make this ideaketch with a given template. We show how everything is connected using arrows. We used colors to differentiate the sections. It is all connected to the kingdom of God on earth, the church.  

MR 5.C Church is necessary to salvation educreations analogy

https://www.educreations.com/lesson/view/analogy-church-is-necessary-for-salvation/26419922/?s=or8LhA&ref=appemail

I worked on this analogy by myself and its a 5 minute video that I think is pretty great. I kind of piggyback on the analogy from the educanon video. I uses my notes to guide me while I was speaking.  It is one of my favorite things to do because you can draw and talk and it's just like one of the educanon videos. 

MR 5.B Notes

MR 5.A Ascension ideaketch analysis

I worked on this ideaketch alone and I used everything we learned to analyze he section and the theological significance of Christs ascension. I included how he helped his apostles. I used colors to separate the main ideas and made cool connections to further explain.  It is very neat and easy to read for all readers. 

MR 5.A Pentecost thinglink analysis

http://www.thinglink.com/scene/585913792450265091

I worked alone on this thinglink. I chose a picture of Jesus on the cross(paschal mystery) and explained the prompt. What makes it unique is that I put the points in order so if you go up to down you can really grasp the idea. That is also a way it is not just analysis because I put the thoughts and ideas in a coherent order and explain them not just state them. 

MR 4.F how our sins are forgiven analysis

This ideaketch was masterfully created by me, Zach phi, and Owen Dailey. It explains who has the authority to forgive sins. Also, it says who the power was passed down to. In addition we talk about ll the ways our sins are forgiven and who has the authority today. We used different colors to signify layers and made it easy to read with lots of connections. 

MR 4 Resurrection Analysis

http://www.thinglink.com/scene/582263954173067266

I worked with Zach phi to make a thinglink about Jesus' resurrection and it was an analysis because we went deeper than just stating facts we made connections as well. It is unique because all of our points were in the shape of a cross. Also,  we had 7 points which is a holy number. We chose to make a thinglink because we both liked the app and we're pretty experienced with it so we could make a pretty good one. We both like the idea of getting a picture and writing all about it. 

MR 4.E analysis Gandalf and Jesus parallels

In this wonderful LOTR scene we see many parallels to christs passion, death, and resurrection. First of all, Gandalf is portrayed as Jesus since he dies for the fellowship of the ring(apostles) after an epic series of confrontations with the balrog(satan). Also he resurrects as Gandalf the White, just as Jesus resurrected. The balrog even looks like the basic satan stereotype would look like(fiery and red). We can see descension into hell during the epic battle descending into the lake from the inner mountain just like Jesus descended into hell. 

MR 4 Justin martyr apology analysis

In Justin Martyrs apology, his first paragraph talks about going to church and he explains how it is a form of unity between a town or country because people from the city and the country are all together in one place sharing in Gods love praying and giving thanks. Then he goes on to explain the Eucharist. He explains that near the end of mass they eat bread and wine, the body and blood of Christ. He states that only people who believe in Jesus and his resurrection are allowed to take it. You might be asking what happens if someone who doesn't believe in Jesus takes it and the consequence is all on that persons soul, not Jesus and it depends on the intention of the person. Do they know what the Eucharist is? If they do it has worse implications on their soul as if the person doesn't know. 

MR 4 analysis educreations overview

https://www.educreations.com/lesson/view/redemption/25587013/?s=MTJTxG&ref=appemail

Zach and I worked together to make This educreations which is basically a summary about the chapter so far. 

I did all the speaking and drawing with Zach guiding me and coming up with the format for our ideas. 

MR 4 If I were an apostle at the transfiguration analysis

First of all, if I were at the transfiguration I would be so honored to be one of three living people to be able to witness Jesus' resurrection. Also it would be amazing to meet Elijah and Moses even though they are dead. In addition I would be awestricken to witness Jesus revealing himself as the messiah and basically seeing God. Not many people can say they saw God when they were alive. Personally though I would probably be way too freaked out and I would leave. 

MR 4 analysis resurrection thinglink

http://www.thinglink.com/scene/580776470729719810

In this thinglink I worked with Zach  and Ethan and they researched and I wrote everything down and chose the picture of the 5 people present during Jesus' transfiguration. This is very important because it is Jesus finally revealing himself as the messiah and has many references and connections to other stories in the bible. 

MR 4.B Defeating the Prince of Darkness analysis

The main words that stand out to me are God and Jesus which are one and the same except Jesus is God in his human form. This doesn't surprise me that they are stated the most since they are our only God and the bible is about them. Devil as also very used which doesn't surprise me because in these stories the devil is almost constantly tempting Jesus. Finally, bread stands out to me because it is right before lunch and I am hungry, it is also fairly big. 

MR 4.A Significance of The Baptism of Jesus analysis

I worked with Chris, Daniel, and Mathew to make this idea sketch. It is unique because of the colors we used that helps the reader organize the ideas. Also, the layout and our connections make it doubly easier to read and organize. What makes it the best though is the content since we worked hard to include as much info as we could in limited time and to the best of our knowledge. 

Jesuslovesus

In the video from last night I learned what the wedding of Cana was and its significance.
