Throughout the reading, I still get the feeling that God is acting more of a dictator, than a righteous leader. The people want a physical king. They want someone that they can see and worship. In I Samuel 8: 10-22, Samuel repeated to the people, everything that Yahweh had told him “This is what theContinue reading “I Samuel 1-18, II Samuel 11-12, I Kings 6, 17-19; II Kings 1-2, 17, 22-25”

Exodus 19-25:9; 32; 40; Deuteronomy 34 Jon Levenson, 26-31 in Sinai and Zion.
At the beginning of the reading, in Exodus 19 the lord speaks to Moses and they establish his covenant with Israel. As the reading continues, we learn of the terms of this covenant. The terms of this agreement are what we know to be the commandments. The first one and one of the most importantContinue reading “Exodus 19-25:9; 32; 40; Deuteronomy 34 Jon Levenson, 26-31 in Sinai and Zion.”
Genesis 25-32, Exodus 1-14
Although this assignment definitely consisted of a lot of reading, I did surprisingly happen to enjoy the content. Honestly, I must say that I feel the the Exodus reading was much more enjoyable, stimulating, and interesting than the Genesis reading. The Genesis reading was rather boring as nothing exciting happens. In Genesis Chapter 25, AbrahamContinue reading “Genesis 25-32, Exodus 1-14”

What points does each story make about God and His relation to humans? In the first creation story, God creates each aspect of the world individually. He separates light from dark,Continue reading “Genesis 1-4”
A Walk Through the Bible
The first thing that I noticed about Lesslie Newbigin’s a walk through the bible is that he does not use any capital letters on the cover of the book. I found this to be very odd and confusing because typically most titles of books are capitalized and would be: A Walk Through the Bible byContinue reading “A Walk Through the Bible”
Catechism of The Catholic Church Reflection Section: 26-143
Is this your first time reading the Catechism? What new terms did you learn? What remains unclear? What did you find persuasive (or not)? This was certainly my first time reading Catechism of the Catholic Church. I don’t necessarily have a huge background and understanding in all of the history within the bible and the churchContinue reading “Catechism of The Catholic Church Reflection Section: 26-143”
