    Jordan, I found your response to be similar to mine, in the sense of your examples. You used the beginning of both stories as your starting example for differences. This was probably the one of the biggest differences between the stories. Matthew’s story begins with a detailed history of how Jesus was born with many references to the Old Testament, but Mark’s skipped this section and instead just introduced Jesus; and where he came from. This was important so that the reader can identify what the author’s take value in, throughout the stories.…

    My worldview closely resembles the Biblical Worldview described in the Charry text, but by no means is anywhere near where it could be. My Christian character will continue to develop and mature throughout my life as I continue to study the scriptures, commune with God in prayer, continually ask for repentance, and forgiving those who have showed transgressions toward me. L. Gregory Jones states, “Christian living requires a willingness to inquire after the God of Jesus Christ, an inquiry which shapes us a people of repentance and forgiveness” (Charry, 2000, p. 204). Repentance and forgiveness are two aspects of the Christian walk that I struggle with. There are many times that I get so busy with life that I forget to prayerfully repent…

For this reason, I stand more excited about taking this class as opposed to many of my other classes. By learning the Bible my life would be enhanced and guided in the direction initially intended by the Lord.…
