Q5) Why does the narrator want to receive “God’s attention”? (141) The narrator wants to receive God’s attention because without he feels “we have no hope of damnation or redemption” (Palahniuk 141). The mechanic explains that “you spend your life searching for a father and God” (Palahniuk 141), where your father is a model of God. Tyler preaches that getting God’s attention for a bad deed is better than no attention at all. That at least we will be on God’s radar. The narrator goes on to…

Although Mark labels Jesus as the “Son of God” in the first verse of his Gospel, it seems that this title does not define Jesus. Rather, Jesus defines what being the Son of God entails. For instance, Mark implies that the Son of God must be tempted and remain faithful to God. Immediately after being baptized by John the Baptist, “the spirit drove him out into the wilderness. And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan” (Mk 1:12-13). Jesus was forcibly driven into the…

12 Faith Faith to me is the ability to trust through experience the word of the creator the belief in something much greater and more powerful than we can ever imagine, the ability to trust. In the power of the spirit as we came to see the visible manifestation of our trust in the invisible without doubt. It is blood that gives life to our body, faith is said to be the only emotion that pleases the creator. The Holy Spirit helps us to increase our faith when we rust without doubt that what we…

The Contrast of Community and Spiritual Formation in the Old and New Testament The biblical concept of community permeates the Scriptures whether we are discussing the Old Testament or the New Testament (Pettit 2008). From the beginning of creation, the idea of community has always been God’s idea. The first place in the context of the creation story where God declares “this is not good” is in reference to Adam when He says “It is not good for man to be alone” . We were created for fellowship…

Can you think of one thing that jesus did that didn’t have an impact on the world? Jesus says quotes like John 10:10, 11 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. I believe the most valuable person in history is Jesus. Jesus was born circa 6 b.c in bethlehem. He was born to a virgin named mary. He was born…

Wednesday, pgs 105-110: The question was answered to who crucified Jesus and why, but there is one more question that is more spiritual… What was the meaning to all of it?

Jesus was very…
