MR 5.A analysis on Ascension

The pope is in a sense a monarch. Jesus intended it to be this way as he gave his authority to the apostles and them only however Jesus did not plan for the corrupt popes. The historic view of the papacy has been etreemely marred by, as Fr. Longeneck said, money and abuse of power. However, looking at the papacy biblicly, we see evidence for the papacy as it stands today. The Nicene Creed says that authority was passed down through the appostles not randomly as a democracy would have. Therefore, the church could be lead by the few ordained by the appostles. Fr. Dwight says that the church resembles christ's kingdom, and therefore needs a sole ruler on earth to control and guide his church until judgment day when Jesus reclaims complete control of the church.

This is an analysis because we are not reinstating what was said in the passage or the text. We are incorporating both of them and adding our own opinion on the power of the Church's leaders. We use the Nince Creed as an aid in the development of our analysis. We bring in some outside sources. Finally we establish a full understanding of the authority of the Church.

MR 5.A Analysis on the Ascension

The early Church was a monarchial papacy instituted by Jesus Christ in Mathew 16:18-19, but he did not institute the corrupt human side of the early Church. Jesus did not intend for the pope to have absolute, worldly power, but to the contrary, he intended a leadership based on his authority, the King of Kings. This is very similar to a monarchy, where one individual has power to guide their subjects. Unlike a monarchy, the pope does not have absolute power, but rather he is a shepherd, guiding his flock to the glory and love of God, the same way Jesus led all of his followers to God. Occasionally, power did get to a pope's head because they are human, turning him corrupt and into a leader with absolute power, not a guide, which is one of the consequences of having a singular conduit of power.

This is an analysis because we aren't restateing what the author of the article wrote. On the contrary, we are adding to what he has stated about Jesus instituting a monarchial papacy. We have stated and analyzed in depth of why Jesus made the type of papacy he did. We also analyzed why a singular conduit of God's power is not the best idea for a human run institution. 

MR 4.B Analysis on Temptation

The things that stand out is that Jesus was tempted 3 times in the desert, appealing both to his humanity and divinity. This is unusual because 3 is the number meaning divine perfection in the bible. Adam and Eve were only tempted once to cause original sin, wich is the number for unity. This is interesting because Adam and Eve were united with God before the Fall, but after it they were united with the devil. 

MR 4.E: Resurrection

MR.4F exit ticket

Jesus appeared to the apposltes in the sealed house, and simon put his hands in jesus's side and felt the wounds.  Jesus tasked the appostles to carry his message to all the rest of humanity.

MR 4.F: Significance of the Resurrection

All pardon for sins is ultimately comes from Christ's finished work on Clavary. Baptism was given to us to take away original sin and to take away all the sins committed before the baptism. It is a spiritual purification of the soul, but there needed to be a different form of purification for the sins commited after baptism. This new form of purification is brough upon by the death and resurrection of Christ. Christ was brought on to the world to forgive the sins of God's people. After he resurrected from the dead, he had conquered death, which was a result of sin. Jesus gave his apostles the power to forgive sins. However, the apostles power given to by Christ had two folds to it. The first one is that they have the power to forgive sins or to hold them bound, which means to retain them unforgiven. The apostles could not forgive sins that they did not hear from the sinner. Secondly their authority was not to proclaim that God has already forgiven their sins. This authority given to the apostles have been passed down through generations from priest to priest. With this instituted we are given another sacrament in which we can show humilty by confessing our sins to the priests that hold the power to forgive sins. After confessing to the priest we are forgiven of all sins said out loud to the priest and cleansed of our sins. 

Mr.4F tweet analysis

Connor claims that because the appostles said that Jesus's resurection was real, we can be sure that it happened. The other dude pisses me off for putting islam into the equation as if it fits into an analogy with Nazism. Its like putting McDonnald's in an alalogy with mama's home cooking. Your mother makes food to nutrure you and raise you, and McDonnald's tries to make a profit even if it means killing you. Also, using the same analogy, One joins McDonnald's for a profit, and your live with your mom because she loves you. the appostles stayed with jesus because they loved God, and they knew their mission. Why would the appostles be equivolent to McDonnalds workers?

MR 4.F Analysis on Mr. Healey's Tweet

The reason why Mr.Healey is correct is that somebody dying for a fact which they know to be true versus what they believe to be true. If a person sees an event, and they say this event happened, then they own an objective truth. I someone hears about the event from someone else but doesn't actually see it or know it happened, then they have a subjective idea of what happened. The first person would say I know this happened, while the second person would say I believe this happened. The Nazis view was an opinion, or subjecctive. They dont actually know they are the superior race, they just believe it. On the contrary, the Apostles had tangible proof that Jesus had resurrected, so they KNOW that it happened, and are willing to die for it. 

MR. 4F significance of the resurectio

Our sins our forgiven through the sacrements, reconciliation, and the eucaryst. Jesus dies for us to atone for our eternal sins. Jesus becomes the ultimate intermediary between us and God. He creates a human example for us to follow, and strive to be. We see this when Jesus, himself, forgives the prostitute. 

MR 4.F Analysis

          The followers of Christ would not take a lie so far as to die for it. If the events surrounding Christ's public ministry, passion, and resurrection were not true and the apostles invented the "stories" then they would not have died for their faith. The apostles knowing of the "lie" they were spreading would most likely come clean when put to death. Why would they go to their deaths knowing what they were dying for was a lie?

          These people that died were eyewitnesses of Christ and things he did. They are not just promoting the things that they believe in the also are promoting that what Christ did for us was a real event and not just a lie. Because the apostles were supporting what they saw and died for what they saw, it supports the event, it gives credibility to it.

MR 4.E Analysis on the Resurrection

https://www.educreations.com/lesson/view/mr-4-e-resurrection-analysis-evidence-for/25773758/?s=tQzxs9&ref=app

Myself and Cristian Gomez have created this eucreating that analizes why the Resurrection is a real event, and highlighted the major proofs of its occurannce. These proofs include: over 500 people saw Jesus at one time, people don't let themselves be tortured and die for a lie, and others. These are ligitimate proofs for the Resurrection and what we have created is original and analyses this topic. We created this methodically so that people with no theological studies can understand this, which makes this unique. 

MR 4.E Resurrection Lord of the Rings Analogy

In Gandolf's fight with the Balrog, it is exactly like Jesus's
Passion, Death, and Resurrection. In this particular scene, Gandolf
relates to Jesus and Balrog relates to Satan. In the video, you
witness Gandolf dominate Balrog. This is exactly the same how Jesus
descended into Hell and defeated Satan. This is shown in the movie
when Gandolf fights and falls into the big pit with Balrog. While
falling into the pit, Gandolf defeats Balrog and moments later he is
shown with a bright light all around him. This is similar how Jesus
defeated Satan, resurrected to Earth, and then ascended into Heaven.
In the scene Dead's Fight, countless numbers of dead are waiting to be
freed. This is the exact same as to how Jesus descends into Purgatory,
and cleanses them before entering into Heaven.

Here's the link to our Educreations video

In it we describe the doctrine of purgatory and why it's necessary.

We also show who upholds the doctrine and how long it's been in catholic theology.

How Justine Martyr's Account Relates to the Last Supper

Justine Martyr's First Apology relates to what we've learned about the last supper becuase it explains the eucharist, the administration of the sacraments, and the weekly worship patterns of Christians. This account says that only those who belive in the teachings of the church may partake in the body and bood of Christ. This account is made by Justin Martyr so that the Roman emperor knkows whats really going on, because he has heard the rumors that what the Christians are doing is canabalism. He then explains what really happens because the eucharist can be easily confused for canabalism for someone who doesn't know theology. This relates to what we have learned from the Last Supper because we have talked about how Jesus is perfecting the passover. Justine also talks about when the Christians worship, which is on the passover on Sunday. They do this because Jesus perfected the passover on Sunday and he had the Last Supper on Suday, which is when the eucharist was initiated, so Christians worship on Sunday. 

MR 4.D: Passion and Death

Justin Martyr's account is about the Eucharist given out on Sundays. In 150 A.D. Chrisitians were being persecuted, and was assumed to be cannibals. In the reading, Justing is writing an apology, or a defense, to that emperor about what is actually going on every Sunday. He explains to the emperor that the "body" and "blood" is the bread and wine that symbolizes the body and blood of Christ that was given to the Christians as a gift during the Last Supper. During the Last Supper, Christ announces to the Disciples that everytime they eat the Eucharist, he will be present in it. Justin Martyr is trying to explain their faith and not actually cannibals. He explains to the emperor that what they are doing is not anything bad, and is them expressing the Last Supper. Even in 150 A.D. the Catholics still believed that the body and blood of Christ is truly present in the Eucharist. 

MR 4.C Analysis on the Transfiguration

https://www.educreations.com/lesson/view/mr-4-c-activity-analysis/25586795/?s=8wwHZ5&ref=app

This analysis on the Transfiguration goes in depth to who was at the Transfiguration, and why. We focus around why Moses represents the law, and why he was at the transfiguration despite, him not entering the Promised Land. We also analyze why Elijah was there, and why he represents the prophets. 

MR 4.C: Last Supper

With the Eucharist and the words said during Mass, we are given a chance to truly be in the presence of God. We are able to become part of God's new covenant and embrace the Lamb of God. 

MR 4.C: Last Supper

Jesus presents the New Covenant through the last supper and tells all of his disciples that the New Covenant will be poured out of his blood. He tells his disciples about the Passiona and to spread the Word of God all through out the world in the Last Supper. He shows an example of the New Commandment of Love by washing the disciples feet at the dinner table. Jesus leads by example and shows his apostles how to love others. Jesus provides the Eucharist as the greatest gift of all to the Catholic Church. 

How I Would Feel if I Witnessed the Transfiguration

If I was standing there, witnessing Jesus's (God) transiguration, I would be standing there, trying to stare at Him without being blinded by his Glory. It was probably to much for our eyes to handle without some kind of divine intervention. This would have been the greatest moment of my life if I witnessed this .

Exit Ticket "If I were at the transfiguration"

Witnessing the Transfiguration would be, well, actually I don't think there's superlative around that could describe the experience. View God in his infinite glory would be so amazing there woild not be finite words to describe God's infinte presence.

MR 4.C: Transfiguration

If I was at the Transfiguration as an apostle, I would have been shocked and terrified at the same time. If I were to hear that my Lord was about to die and suffer from a man who died years before me, I would be so shocked that I would not be able to talk. Also to see Jesus in his brightest form shining in white would have been an honor and a moment I would want to share with everyone around the world. 

Exit ticket

I feel that, if I were an apostle at the transfiguration, I would be totaly flabbergasted. I think that I would be utterly shocked that spirits were infront of me, and that prophets written to be true from hundreds of years ago are standing before me. I think that I would have no  more doubts bout the divinity of christ, but have a considerable question about why he is asking me to stay quiet until after he dies. If I were one of christs desciples I think I would have already blanded down my actions to keep them srictly christian so I don't offend anyone, but I would have an even greater recall after this. I would have a real task on my hands as now I would be burdened with the responcibility of passing down the history of this event.

MR 4.B Defeating the Prince of Darkness

The interesting thing about this story is how it has a tendancy to make the reader forget about God being trinity, and creates a seperation between the three divine "people"

MR 4.B Defeating the Prince of Darkness

Jesus uses the written scripture of God to resist the temptations of the devil. He fasted for forty days to be in a weak and vulnerable state to test himself, and see how wll he can resist the devil's temptation. Jesus is obedient to God and chooses to be one with God and to stick by his side. Through these temptations, we should learn that if we are obedient to God then we can resist Satan's temptation. 

MR 4B Mid level Activity

 What stands out in this image the most to me it that the words God and Jesus are used more often than the word devil. This shows that God and Jesus are more important than the devil hinting as to why Jesus remained faithful to God and his Word.

MR 4.A Mid Level Activity

Our activity is unique in its own way, because in our activity we explain how the baptism is more symbolic then anything else, and our idea sketch has a unique lay out and color scheme. Our idea sketch emphasizes how everything in the baptism is symbolic. The baptism of Christ shows him exiting sin when he exits the water, shows him being cleanses, and it shows Christ conquering sin when he emerges from the water. When a dove descends down it symbolized the Holy Spirit's grace. 

MR 4.A Mid Level Activity

This idea Sketch shows why Jesus fulfills the Protoevangelium at Cana and Takes on our sin at his baptism. It is unique from others as the vibrant colors really pop out of the screen if you look hard enough and in the time you spent looking at it you have learned about why each of these events is theologically important.

The Unselfish Son

Something I learned from the lecture is that when Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. He had choice to not become baptized, because he did not need the cleansing, but with his decision to be baptized. Jesus decides that he is on an equal plain with us. 

What I learned

From the two videos we've watched I've learned that John showed that Jesus fulfilled the Protoevangelium by calling Mary woman. This shows he is the seed of the woman that would crush satan.
