@BellaFajardo25 @michellemosier Hey Bella! I completely agree! She fulfilled her promise and stayed true to God just as she had before bearing a child. It really shows her commitment to fulfilling Gods will. Great thoughts!

@Courtthamiltonn @michellemosier Hey Courtney! I really enjoy your thoughts here! It didn't really click for me that the Covenant was already being fulfilled until now, but it makes a lot of sense! Really interesting perspective!

@michellemosier I really enjoyed learning about Hagar. In my church, she was always a villain, along with her son. However, I understand that she was the victim of oppression by Abraham and Sarah and didn't do anything wrong. #theo111 #QOTW9

@AnthonySirian15 @michellemosier I really enjoy your quote! It is cool to see that God is that forgiving even when someone directly defies his orders. It changes God from the violent, strict God he seemed like when discussed in church.

[Simon Gabel @simon_gabel]

@jacksonkane52 @michellemosier That is a cool thing! I had never known about Jonah's hatred for the Assyrians. It had always just been summed up to a fear of failure in my church.

@michellemosier #drmtheo111 #qotw6 I had known nothing of Habakkuk before the discussion this week. It was really cool to learn of an entirely new part of the bible, especially one as interesting as God setting the Chaldeans upon the Jewish people in order to bring them to justice.

@jacksonkane52 @michellemosier I completely agree! I think that another good example of showing faith in God is the twenty five or so years that passed between the meeting between God and Abram and then the fulfilling of the covenant during ritual.

[Simon Gabel @simon_gabel]

@AnthonySirian15 @michellemosier That's a very nice way of looking at this week! We do all have the responsibility to take care of the world around us, and I think that the God's role in the Abrahamic covenant alludes to that. We should take care of the earth as God takes care of us, and fulfill our purpose.

[Simon Gabel @simon_gabel]

@michellemosier #drmtheo111 #QOTW5 The thing that I found most significant about God and his covenants this week was the fact that in God's covenant with Abraham, God was not only going to bless the descendants of Abraham, but all the peoples of the earth if Abraham followed the covenant.

@Courtthamiltonn @michellemosier Hello Courtney! I completely agree with you! I didn't write about equality between humans, only our need to nurture the world, but this is an amazing point of view. I've always understood it, but I never put it into this context! Thank you!

[Simon Gabel @simon_gabel]

@AnthonySirian15 @michellemosier Hello Anthony! I agree with you, as we are the creations of God and need to help better the world and nurture God's creation by maintaining and bettering the environment.

[Simon Gabel @simon_gabel]

@michellemosier meant to share in that glory and help make plants, animals and the world around us a little more into the image of God. #qotw4 #drmtheo111

[Simon Gabel @simon_gabel]

@michellemosier Scripture teaching regarding human dominion and God declaring creation good gives insight of our purpose as the creations of God. We are meant to care for, nurture and better the other creations of God. While we are created in his image, the world around us is not. We are...

@AnthonySirian15 @michellemosier Hi!

I completely agree! I did not know many of the things from 'Forgive Us', and some of the connections between Christians and organizations and acts that I heard about throughout my childhood really surprised me.

[Simon Gabel @simon_gabel]

@Courtthamiltonn @michellemosier Hello!

I agree with your point, as it really shows an understanding of how religion in the past has affected the present, along with how religion now will affect the future.

[Simon Gabel @simon_gabel]

@michellemosier #drmtheo111 #QOTW3 One of the most important insights is that theological reflection requires a loving community, open reflection, and a want to be better. You can't have a good theological perspective if they are close minded, unable to apologize/learn from mistakes, or change.

@browne30xavier1 @michellemosier Hello! I think your points are very relevant in todays society. Your points ring through with the classes discussion on immigration and white privilege.

[Simon Gabel @simon_gabel]

@jacksonkane52 @michellemosier Hello Jackson! I totally agree with your statement. I didn't know about the extent of the Christian movement against freeing slaves or letting the LGBTQ community love who they want.

@michellemosier I think some of the things we learned about the transgressions against the Jewish people and those that follow Islam, especially the promotion of Christians and of the Nazis and anti-muslim propaganda were some of the most important things we learned this week.
