The most important theme found in the three synoptic gospels Matthew, Mark, and Luke is the divine necessity of Jesus; this theme can also be found in the non-canonical gospel of Judas. This theme is an important building block for Christianity. The divine necessity of Jesus is that he must be rejected by man and killed by man. There are many passages in the four gospels that show this theme. In the synoptics, the four most important are, the passion prediction scenes, the parable of the wicked…

is a simple story with a moral or a story told to teach a lesson.” Jesus use parables all the time (frequently, consistently) to teach his disciples. “And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not to lose heart.” (Luke 11:1) Jesus used this parable to show a lesson to always pray and God will always be with them. Jesus taught in parables to get his point across and it was easier for the disciples to understand what Jesus was…

Gospels are written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to share with others the life, ministry and death of Jesus Christ. In the Gospels, there are different portrayals of the Jews that have hindered the way people read the Gospels today. A majority of the Gospel is interpreted with an anti-Semitic point of view. Anti-Semitism can be defined as the prejudice against, hatred of, or discrimination against Jews as an ethnic, religious, or racial group. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all write their…

Thematic Modifications Luke omits most of Mark’s material. He only keeps enough information to let his audience know where he borrows the story. In his introduction, Luke omits “Once again [he went out] along the sea. All the crowd came to him and he taught them” (Mk 2:13). In this omission, the theme of companionship between Jesus with his disciples and with the crowd was removed. Luke also removes the theological geography because “sea” is represented for chaos in Mark. Luke doesn’t want to…

The storyline substitutes between the present year of 1980 and the future year of 2013. In the first place of the film, three unusual items are launched out from a substantial spaceship and collided with ground. Warpath understands the sentinel have discovered them so he chose to educate Blink to caution the other mutant, including Bishop, Sunspot, Iceman, Colossus and Kitty Pryde. They fought hard against the invading sentinel. They fail to defend and sentinel able to break into their mutant…

also think about the gospel values in helping people. Like Jesus Christ when helping people through miracles in readings of Luke. In the readings of Luke, Jesus let the blind see again (Luke 18: 35-43), being equal to women (Luke 10: 38-42), and seeing children in a different way (Luke 18: 15-17). It is funny to see that children of today still reflect off the readings of Luke. They are innocent, simple, and open to their perspective. I value that because being a child or having a child is a…

“We’re here to connect, love, time, death -- these three things connect every single human being on earth” the first 6 seconds into the trailer of Collateral Beauty voiced by Will Smith. An extremely powerful trailer that includes well known and award nominated actors.

According to the…
