@ladyramstrack Thank you!!

@KuoEsser @michellemosier I agree. When looking through a feminist perspective, it is obvious women were treated poorly and deserved better.

[Amanda MacKinnon @amanda13mac]

@EmmaWelchXU25 @michellemosier I agree. Stories like Adam and Eve were very misinterpreted growing up and I believed the fault was all on Eve. Now looking back at the story, I realize that Adam had the choice to eat from the apple.

@michellemosier #drmtheo111 #qotw14 The most significant thing that I took away from this course is to read the bible with an open mind and to consider all perspectives on the story such as the feminist perspective so that you get the full story.

[Amanda MacKinnon @amanda13mac]

@EmmaWelchXU25 @michellemosier I also found the wedding feast interesting. It shows that the kingdom of God is open to everyone and accepting as long as you are fully devoted to God.

[Amanda MacKinnon @amanda13mac]

@amortimer17 @michellemosier I agree. The parable displays God as hidden treasure, emphasizing how once we find God in our lives, we recognize how valuable God is.

[Amanda MacKinnon @amanda13mac]

@michellemosier #drmtheo111 #qotw13 The parable in the Gospel of Matthew that I liked the best was Hidden Treasure. I liked it because it showed how God is always with us, but we don't realize that unless we look for God and find God. Once we find this hidden treasure, we see how valuable God is

@Lauren_Briggs28 @michellemosier I agree. The stories of Jesus' healing is quite empowering and interesting. He heals the poor and does not discriminate against their wealth, showing his kind and pure character.

[Amanda MacKinnon @amanda13mac]

@JuliaConnerrr @michellemosier I agree. I honestly was shocked while reading this passage since Jesus was known as a peaceful person, but said such aggressive words. Being a follower of Jesus requires your full devotion.

[Amanda MacKinnon @amanda13mac]

@michellemosier #drmtheo111 #qotw12 The most important thing I learned about Jesus this week is that he cured anyone even the poor, showing how he did not discriminate and was powerful. One story that really stood out to me was the story of Jesus curing two blind men (Matthew 9:29-30).

@Daniell95495660 @michellemosier I agree. Monah’s wife was barren and then blessed by the Lord. Then she was told that her son would become a Nazirite, so she named him Samson. Samson then goes on to be an important character in Judges.

[Amanda MacKinnon @amanda13mac]

@armstrongplee @michellemosier I agree. Delilah did what she wanted and betrayed Samson, illustrating her independence and strength, which women were rarely seen for at the time.

[Amanda MacKinnon @amanda13mac]

@michellemosier #drmtheo111 #qotw11 Personally, I believe that the most interesting woman we studied this week was Delilah. She was brave to go against a male to achieve what she wanted, even though it was wrong. It shows that she was independent and strong, which is rarely seen for women then.

[Amanda MacKinnon @amanda13mac]

@PaulStammXU @michellemosier I agree. Jael's actions shows how strong and powerful women can be. In these times, we would have thought of women to be delicate and graceful, but Jael shows that women can be more than that.

[Amanda MacKinnon @amanda13mac]

@jack16arm @michellemosier I agree. Even the way she killed Sisera was crafty, illustrating her confidence, power, and bravery.

[Amanda MacKinnon @amanda13mac]

@michellemosier #drmtheo111 #qotw10 In my opinion, Jael was the most interesting of the woman from judges that we studied this week. She was a blessed assassin and a crafty character who deceived Sisera. The fact that a woman killed Sisera is the most significant part to the story.

[Amanda MacKinnon @amanda13mac]

@michellemosier #drmtheo111 #qotw9 The most interesting woman in the OT we studied this week in my opinion is Tamar (David's daughter). The things her brother was able to get away with shocked me and even though David was against his son's actions, he dismissed it because he loved his first son.

[Amanda MacKinnon @amanda13mac]

@kathrynheppner @michellemosier I find it interesting how the priest first assumed that Hannah was intoxicated when she was expressing her feelings. It shows that women's thoughts used to be looked down upon during those times as nonsense.

[Amanda MacKinnon @amanda13mac]

@owo_waffles @michellemosier I agree. She had to go through such a traumatizing experience caused by her own family member and ignored by everyone. I cannot fathom how David dismissed his son's actions because he was his eldest.
