3.a understand B

The message of Christ has been revealed to us throughout the generations by the Church and Scripture. When God sent Jesus down to Earth He sent us a Savior to save us from death. Jesus preached to many people about a lot of things. When He died the Holy Spirit gave the Apostles the ability to preach and to start the new Roman Catholic Church. Throughout time the Holy Spirit guided every priest, deacon, bishop, cardinal, and pope to give us the Word of God and give opus the grace to know it is true.

2.4 apply B

The Church relates in some ways and differs in some ways with the telephone game. The telephone game is a game in which someone comes up with a phrase that has to be exactly the same when people whisper it to each other at the end. It is the same because the message with the Church started out with Jesus and people passed it on throughout the ages. It is different because in telephone someone always messes up the message and it comes out not true at all. But in the Church God lead us throughout everything and we still carry out the same message.

2.4 remember B

13. Christ satisfies the human aspirations through the Russurection and saving us from death
14 we need openness to accept revelation
17 seven steps of revelation:
Made Himself known to Adam and Eve
God promised them redemption through the Messiah which is Jesus
God made a covenant with Noah after the flood
Made Himself know to Abraham
Saved Israelites from slavery in Egypt
The prophets spoke through Him
The climax of it all is found in Jesus born through the Virgin Mary
18 because the 8th step is Judgment day when Jesus comes like He promised to save us all from death


2.4 apply A

The Roman Empire, Nazi Germany, and the USSR all have something in common with the church. Even though they are evil an do bad things the Church does not judge them. God gave everyone on this planet the capacity and desire to know Him and He gives us external evidence and reasoning for that. Therefore it is impossible to lose the desire to know Him through the Church. Even though someone is evil and do bad things you cannot lose the love God and the Church has for us.

2.2 analyze 1

Alexis Carrel was a Nobel prize winner for biology. He had a lot to do with miracles because he says that prayer is a generator for them. It enriches your life so therefore miracles can be noticed or happen.

2.2 apply 2

The story the boy who cried wolf is a story about a boy who herds sheep for a job and calls out when he sees a wolf. Everyday he would cry wolf and be kidding about it and the townspeople weren't too happy so the next time he cried wolf he was serious because he actually saw on but no one believed him because he was always kidding and the townspeople had no motive to believe it. This relates to the motives of credibly because unlike the boy who cries wolf, God doesn't lie; and he gives us motives which are the motives of credibility to prove that He exists.

Augustine's quote

Augustine said "God has created us with both the desire and the capacity know Him." We have the desire to know Him because we were naturally born with it and it is a gift. We have the capacity because we were brought into this world with a place in our mind to desire Him.
