@JackSimone14 I agree I think that by the rich man giving the same as the widow even though he had much more to give shows his selfishness and it isn’t a surprise he wasn’t shown forgiveness. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@abbykorak I agree I think that there’s a difference between repenting and really being selfless and admitting we have sinned and wanting forgiveness for this. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@kennnpalmore I agree I think that he tried to be a role model in showing that everyone is equal and showed that we must all love each other to make the world a better place. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
The Parable on the tax collector and Pharisee shows us the importance of how to repent. We must not make it about ourselves and instead fully show how sorry we are and fully entrust god and have faith in him. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@abbykorak @AndrewL27598735 I think they key point is that we genuinely show we are sorry and do not fake emotions as this will not allow for us to be forgiven. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
Social justice is shown when God forgives the tax collector as he shows how sorry he is in repentance whereas the Pharisee repents but is not genuine and is self-centred and isn’t forgiven showing that we cannot fake emotions to find forgiveness. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@savannah_nottke I think this is an example of showing continuous commitment will be rewarded by god as he notices our sacrifices and rewards us out of love. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@GigiSharp7 I agree I think that equality started to become more prominent in some sections due to gods vision slowly coming to life. It is still too rare of a situation though so far. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@MungaiKina It shows that by following god and doing what he asks and being a good person you will be rewarded for your dedication towards a good cause. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@JackSimone14 I wrote something similar and agree, I think being rich often has a false sense of happiness and high power to it and this parable proves this wrong. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@EmmaDurbin6 I think this shows what we should and shouldn’t do and uses both sides as an example to show us the consequences and rewards for following different paths. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
I think the reading really exemplified how materialistic values such as money does not determine how you are seen by god. If anything those who are rich and do not give are seen as less than a poor person who gives. God does not care about wealth. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@EmmaDurbin6 I agree I think that if we just continue to believe and have faith in him he will find a way to fix our problems or give us opportunities in life. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@kennnpalmore I think that the joy experienced really em captures the emotions that can be felt when connected with people who all are in the same viewpoint. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
