@MadisonFast5@michellemosier I agree with this, I remember learning the stories and them sounding completely different. It was interesting to learn about the stories as a whole and what truly happened.
@michellemosier One of the most significant things I learned about from this class was new perspectives from reading the Bible. I’ve never really understood or read about the experiences of the women from the OT or Book of Judges, so it was very eye opening to hear their stories in depth.
@JuliaConnerrr@michellemosier I agree, the message in this parable was very important. I like your point about believing in Jesus but still sinning against him. Describes that actions speak louder than words.
@Charlie29wright@michellemosier I also liked this one because of its message. It’s important to remind ourselves to be good on earth so that we can be rewarded and join God in heaven.
@michellemosier I liked the parable with the marriage feast/wedding banquet in Matthew 22. It was important because it discusses, “for many are called, but few are chosen.” This means that everyone is called into heaven, but you have to “earn” your way into heaven, not everyone earns their way.
@amanda13mac@michellemosier I also thought it was interesting to read about Jesus’ healing. And it was important to read about how he said those who are poor are blessed because he will take care of them no matter their status.
@Courtthamiltonn@michellemosier I agree, this was really fascinating to read about because this would be extremely hard for anyone to do, but he was able to overcome the temptations.
@michellemosier One thing that really stood out to me about Jesus this week, was that he tells us to not pray in front of others. This is because we should do it to praise God, not “show off” to others that we are doing so. (Matthew 6: 5-7.) #drmtheo111#qotw12
@amanda13mac@michellemosier I also thought it was interesting to read about Delilah and the power she held with her own status. She had a status without a man which was rare in these times.
@michellemosier I thought it was interesting to read about Delilah. She was strong and courageous and didn’t have her status from a man. She wasn’t threatened, like the timnite woman, instead she was offered a large sum of wages due to a status she made for herself.
@michellemosier I really enjoyed reading about Deborah because people looked up to her and came to her for advice which was not common at this time. She was a woman of fire, a prophet, a warrior, and a judge. It was exciting to read about a smart, and assertive woman.
@HannahMartin15x@michellemosier I agree, it was very admirable of her to have this much faith in God and give her son to God to serve him. She was rewarded later with more children.
@MadisonFast5@michellemosier I agree, I was very interesting how Rachel’s father offered Jacob to Leah because she was the older sister knowing Jacob and Rachel really loved each other.
@michellemosier It was really interesting to learn about Leah and Rachel. As sisters, they loved the same man. Then Rachel’s father betrayed her and offered Jacob to Leah even though Jacob loved Rachel. Interesting to see how woman were treated with marriage situations.
@amanda13mac@michellemosier I thought this was a really interesting point too. Because Eve didn’t tempt Adam. Adam was tempted by the serpent when listening to Eve and the serpent. He chose to eat the apple out of his own temptations, not because of Eve.
