MR 5.F Last Things Lecture Video Notes

I learned that even if you are the best, most loving person in the world, but you don't choose God, then you are still doomed to Hell. I also learned that our life is our time to choose, which is a binding decision. You can not make the decision to choose God once you are dead.

MR 5.E Analysis on the 7 Sacraments

 This is an analysis becuse we are demonstrating how each sacrament relatates to its scripture counterpart. Some people will notice, that we have shaped this analysis in that of a tree, like the Church is the true tree of life. Christ, the sacraments, are at its head. This shows how each sacrament gives us the grace to be redeemed.

MR 5.D Problem Solving Analysis

The one true church has four marks of the church: one holy catholic
and apostolic church.
The true church is one, united with the triune God, one faith, and one
baptism. The true church distributes holiness straight from God
through the sacraments. If we maintain this life of the sacraments we
are in a life of holiness with the holy God. The true church is
Catholic by name, and is one united mass under the universal kingdom
of God. The true church is apostolic by governance and procedure.
Those today today can trace a straight line back to the original
apostles.

MR 5.C Problem Solving Analysis

If ye be on a team of football, ye may go out for a pass, but nay ye
turneth, the ball ye shan't recieve. Thus, ye may be on the team, ye
may believe ye shall catch the ball, nary we recieve unless ye turn
around. Yer quarterback may be out of pocket, and takin many-a-risk,(
the sacrifice jesus gave in his passion, death, resurcetion.) but nay
ye turneth, ye shall fail. The game be lost, all is
for-naught, unless ye turn ye back to the scoundrel defender, and open
up to jesus. If ye be a runnin back, jesus hands ye the ball and opens
a hole, but ye chose not to run in the right dircetion, ye be
clobbered for negtive yardage. OOFF. If ye be the scrum in u'rugbee,
ye need to scuenche ye cheeks and push forward into the pile of men.
If y' dununt y' thrun on the grund. The ultimate QB. -5000 passin
yard's!!!! over 9000 rushin
yards, and a whole leage OF TOUCHDOWNS! And a blackbeard trophy to his
name. arg. and he be pourin the cup of gaterade over ye head. En ze
namen uv godt amenz.


This is an analysis because we are giving an analogy that adequately explains this concept. The cconcept, that we have to accept God to be in his grace, is the topic we analyzed. We analyzed it by providing an anaolgy for it that involves a common event in todays culture. This also contains important theological teachings.

MR 5.B The Kingdom of God Notes

What is the Church?
the new assembly off God's people, redeemed by Christ, and is the instrument of this redemption. 
New assembly of God's chosen people
ekklesia(Greek) those called out
qahal - chosen people
Successors of the Chosen People of the Old Covenant
the people of God
Instrument of this redemption
the role of the Church is to bring objective redemption to each subject, to each person
that baptism example again
without Peter and the Apostles, what would happen when Christ ascended? 
The Kingdom off God
Christ is the King and he brings about the Kingdom of Heaven
BOLD CLAIM: The Kingdom of Heaven on earth subsists in the Catholic Church
what is the Kingdom of God?
Christ
Christ acting in the hearts of men
mankind acting in communion with the Blessed Trinity
In the catholic church is found Christ, full and entire, and the means in which one can come into communion with the Blessed Trinity
receive the Spirit, transform into Christ, and thus become adopted sons of the Father
New Kingdom vs Old

MR 5.A Analysis on the Pentecost

This article relates to our courses because its main focus is that baptism is neccessary to get the grace from the Resurrection. Although Baptism by water is the most common form of baptism, other forms exist like the baptism by blood, which occures when a non Christianity dies for Christianity. The other form of Baptism is the Baptism of desire, which means you are able to participate in God's grace if you have a deep longing for it. Another way of Baptism, through God's mercy, is the saving of infants who haven't been baptised, because the cannot make knowledgable descisions for themselves. Baptism removes the stain of Original sin, meaning we can be saved and enter heaven. However, it does not remove concupisense, the inclination to sin. All of this ties into the Pentecost because the Apostles encountered a different kind of baptism, that of fire, which is a symbol of the Holy Spirit,, meaning the Holy Spirit was present at the Pentecost. The flames of the will of God inspired them to go out and make disciples of all nations, which they did, baptising thousands on that very day. All of these are related to our chapters and lectures. 

This is an analysis because I go in to why we don't need water for baptism, we only need the will to be Baptised. I explain why infants can be saved even though they don't have the ability to make descisions for themselves. I also explain how the Holy Spirit was at Pentecost. All of these make this blog an analysis on why this article on the necessity of baptism ad how it pertains to our coursework.

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.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 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.

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.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.

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 .
