1. Why was he tortured? Enumerate the mistakes he did according to the Jewish
authorities.
 According to Jewish authorities, Jesus transforms faith from physical to spiritual,
and he was caught for the first time by Jewish officials after criticizing the excess
he saw on exhibit in the Jewish temple during Jerusalem's Passover.
 Instead of entering into the temple or building, Jesus transforms it into the body
of humanity. So, if God's people are the temple, it follows that God
communicates with the rest of the world thru people.
 Because He realized that many rules are complex, Jesus summarized the law
and simplified it into two.
 Jesus encouraged his followers to uphold the law unwaveringly. He did not
precisely follow the law and even contradicted contemporary views on several
elements of it.
 According to Jewish leaders, Jesus is not the Christ since their description of
Christ is powerful and has not yet appeared.
Explain based on your understanding the effect to the world of just a drop of
blood of the Christ touching the ground during his crucifixion.
 The impact of a drop of Christ's blood touching the ground during his crucifixion
on the world is that it CLEANS the world of all bad and negative things, and
people no longer view things as enemies, and everyone is open and inclusive to
one another. And as a result of that drop of blood, EVERYTHING IS CLEAN
AND CAN BE USE. The blood of God is important to whole world because it is
CREATOR while the whole world is the CREATION.

2. Describe just one (1) Christian traditional festivities/celebrations that is related to
the story in the video (Lesson 3) you have seen.
 One of the Christian traditional festivities or celebration that is related to the story
in the video is “Jesus the Christ Nativity/ Birth” or “Christmas Day”. The Bible
describes Christ's birth in the New Testament Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
Christians differ about the narratives' validity, with some seeing them as
conveying religious truths but not historic events. For billions of Christians and
non-Christians alike, the event holds enormous religious and cultural importance.
This celebration serves as a reminder that most Christian holidays are based on
a specific moment or event in Jesus' life. These holidays assist Christians in
remembering the religious significance of these occasions. The Birth of Jesus
reveals to us God's Truth and Grace, His True Nature, and the Word Became
Flesh and Dwelt among Us.
Theology
-is a philosophically oriented discipline of religious speculation and apologetics
-it is traditionally in differing restrictions, because of its origins and format and because of its
themes
-world religions to include; Christianity, Islam and Judaism are with themes of God, humanity,
the world, salvation, and eschatology (the study of last times).
Nature of Theology
The concept of theology that is applicable as a science in all religions and that is therefore
neutral is difficult to distill and determine.
The problem lies in the fact that, theology as a concept had its origins in the tradition of the
ancient Greeks, and later obtained its content and method within Christianity.
Theology thus became significant as the means of proclaiming the gods, of confessing to them,
and of teaching and “preaching." This practice of “theology” by the Greeks lies the prefiguration
of what later would be known as theology in history.
In spite of all the contradictions and nuances that were to emerge in the understanding of this
concept, schools of thought, with a formal criterion remains constant: theology is the attempt of
adherents to faith representing their statements of belief consistently, to explicate them out of
the basis (or fundamentals) of their faith, and to assign to such statements their specific place
within the context of all other worldly relations (e.g., nature and history) and spiritual processes
(e.g., reason and logic).

3. PERSONAL god is a god who has self-awareness and listens to people’s requests, answering
these requests by either refusing to act on them, or granting those requests in the form of
intervention (which may take the form of miracles or spiritual strengthening).
IMPERSONAL god is a god who created the Universe according to an intelligent plan, but no
longer intervenes in the events of that Universe (i.e., doesn’t respond to individual, personal
requests, prayers etc., doesn’t perform miracles, doesn’t talk to individuals).
As an analogy:
PERSONAL god can be explained as a strict parent who expects the children to ACHIEVE
something in their life. It’s the parent who says: “I have spent so much money/time/effort to get
you to good schools, to send you to all the sport clubs, to give you all the toys and play sets
which were supposed to awaken your curiosity; I expect you to find a good, well paying job, find
a good, family-oriented spouse, have children, build a home, plant a tree, become wealthy, do
something with your life!”
IMPERSONAL god is a scientist in a laboratory who prepares five thousand Petri dishes with
different versions of a potential cure, and then injects all those dishes with the same “threat”
(disease etc.) - and then observes which of those Petri dishes will be able to deal with the threat
the best. No amount of prayer, or artworks, or societal advances by the life-forms in those Petri
dishes will matter - the only thing the scientist cares about is whether the lifeforms in those
dishes manage to eliminate the threat.
Views of the Origin of the Universe, Earth, and Life
Many religious persons, including many scientists, hold that God created the universe and the
various processes driving physical and biological evolution and that these processes then
resulted in the creation of galaxies, our solar system, and life on Earth.
This belief, which sometimes is termed "theistic evolution," is not in disagreement with
scientific explanations of evolution. Indeed, it reflects the remarkable and inspiring character of
the physical universe revealed by cosmology, paleontology, molecular biology, and many other
scientific disciplines.
The advocates of "creation science" hold a variety of viewpoints. Some claim that Earth and the
universe are relatively young, perhaps only 6,000 to 10,000 years old. These individuals often
believe that the present physical form of Earth can be explained by "catastrophism," including a
worldwide flood, and that all living things (including humans) were created miraculously,
essentially in the forms we now find them.
Other advocates of creation science are willing to accept that Earth, the planets, and the stars
may have existed for millions of years. But they argue that the various types of organisms, and
especially humans, could only have come about with supernatural intervention, because they
show "intelligent design."

4. The image of God is His Holiness
Holiness is more than being good and morally upstanding.
When referring to the image of God or His holiness, definition takes on a much richer meaning.
God's holiness is His defining characteristics as known about Him by believers. The holiness of
God is a term used to describe both His goodness and His power.
It is completely unique, and utterly very powerful, radiating out from God like a perfect energy.
In fact, God's holiness is so overwhelming, that it can actually be so difficult or nearly impossible
for humans to follow being created into this image.
Our Likeness to God is our intelligence.
LIKENESS, is SIMILARITY, SIMILITUDE,and ANALOGY, meaning agreement or
correspondence in details. LIKENESS implies a closer correspondence than SIMILARITY which
often implies that things are merely somewhat alike. SIMILITUDE applies chiefly to
correspondence between abstractions. ANALOGY implies likeness or parallelism in relations
rather than in appearance or qualities.
When fully in God's LIKENESS, we will be able to fulfill our awesome responsibility of exercising
dominion over, of assisting Him in managing, the vastness of His creation.
Participation
As God creatively conceived and communicated his own being through the act of
creation which brought forth something from nothing, he imbued creation with his
divine attributes, orienting it toward the good, the true, and the beautiful.
As children of God, we too have been given capacity for creative reason and self-
expression. Although unable to create from nothing, we create by working with
pre-existing elements. In so doing, we participate in God’s creativeness and have
the opportunity to further the good, the true, and the beautiful in our own lives and
the world.
As people of God, we are called to be pro-active co-creators with God, who are
nonetheless also aware that the extent of our creativity has limits and is really a
sharing in God’s own creativity.

5. We experience a certain fullness of our interaction with the world around us, as
well as of our own relationship with God when we are able to contain and nurture
within us the tension between our creative ability and the awareness of our
limitations, thus bringing the fullness of ourselves forward while at the same
time knowing that we are not self-sufficient, but rely also upon that which is
brought forth by others and ultimately, that which is outside the bounds of human
control.
And yet, even when we cannot control certain circumstances and outcomes, we do
still have within us both freedom and creativity and therefore have a say in how
we interact and grow when faced with such circumstances. It is for good reason
that St. Paul assures us that all things work for the good of those who love
God. Even when we cannot control certain things in life, we can channel our
thoughts and choices regarding how we interact and grow from such
circumstances. When we use our capacity for creativity to this end, we give glory
to God our Creator and live more fully our own humanity.
Saving actions of God in Jewish history
The Deuteronomist proclaims: Yes, there will be complex problems in our new
civil society, but here are the systems and forms of leadership that will enable us
to overcome them.
The establishment of a working multilayered system of communal leadership is
the genius of the Deuteronomist.
Judges, kings, priests, and prophets separately and together are needed in order
to allow for the Israelites to create the kind of society worthy of their history and
their destiny.
Judges and justice: Establishing and maintaining just courts is foundational to
creating a just society. "Judges," as it is aptly called, begins by clarifying the
inherent ethics of the judges themselves in who they are and how they adjudicate.
We need judges who will not pervert justice, who will not succumb to bribes to be
appointed (Deut 16:18-19). But even with the right judges in place, rebellion and
perversion will likely ensue in society. The Deuteronomist accepts this as part of
the human social condition and seeks to create ways of diminishing its negative
impact on innocent people. But judges, while necessary as a single system of
leadership, will not be enough to maintain a civil society.
Royalty is from God: A second and crucial category of leadership emerges
here—kings. This kind of ruler was something foreign and yet necessary for the
Israelites. A king was necessary for ancient sovereignty, and for military and
political leadership. But unlike Egyptian kings, an Israelite king was expected to
know and apply the laws of the Torah, not to become the law itself nor to be an

6. absolute ruler himself. In fact, because of the potential power of a king, choosing
one was thought to be too weighty for the Israelites to elect or select themselves,
and therefore God must choose him. The Israelites—indeed, all human
societies—are constantly challenged to recognize and remember that the power
of a human being can never be absolute (Deut. 17:14-20).
In addition, the king couldn’t just be a powerful ruler, he must also meet clear
requirements for what were at the time considered to be ethical standards: not the
standards of surrounding nations, but Jewish ethical standards (Rambam on Deut
17:15). A Jewish civil society needs ethical political leadership.
Priestly power: A religion based on sacrificial practices will need priests to
officiate and pass on sacred codes and modes of serving God. Accepting
sacrifices and receiving the gifts of the people three times a year were essential
for maintaining a connection to the sacred and to history. They too, the
commentators tell us, needed to be reminded not to abuse their power.
Religious critics: And what about the prophets? Those who are sensitive to
abuses of power, brave in spirit, and charismatic will become the religious critics
of society. All societies need to be accountable to uphold their own values and
standards. Otherwise, the Israelite rulers and all people become blind. We los e
track of what’s most important, we turn a blind eye to the innocent suffering in our
midst, and most often, we ignore our own failings.
TO MAKE MISTAKES ARE NATURAL
BUT EVERYTHING NATURAL IS GOOD
THEREFORE TO MAKE MISTAKE IS GOOD
In not less than 100 words, explain how you understand the argument.
Making mistakes is normal/natural since we are human beings designed not to be
perfect but to be good. We are human beings living in a world full of mistakes, but this
does not mean that making mistakes is bad. This mistake that we made taught us
lessons that we might perhaps apply to reality and our daily lives. However, that mistake
is regarded positive if you rectify the faults you made, but it is considered terrible or bad
if you accept and tolerate the mistakes you made. Mistake is not a terrible thing, but it is
in the midst. Making a mistake, then, is a positive or good thing since it teaches us and
makes us human.

7. Explain how the ancient law became so complicated like the Hebrew "Ten
Commandments" or Judaic Law, from which the ten (10) became more than six hundred
(600+) laws.
Because of civilization, ancient law became so complicated that each commandment
contains more than ten rules, for a total of 634 laws. When the judges arrived, a lot of
things happened; numerous laws were enacted, and sin existed. Furthermore, a
monarchy government governed by a king with economic, military, and political
leadership arises, and crimes are committed as a result of the theocratic government's
appearance. The human body is limited by certain rules, and they must behave
accordingly.
In one hundred words compare "THE CHRIST" of the Jews to "THE CHRIST" of the
Christians.
 The Jews are still waiting for “THE CHRIST”, and their criterion for being a Christ comes
from the King and Queen, a strong and wealthy family, particularly a Prince. Jews also
believe that Jesus is not the Christ, and that the Christ will arrive soon, which is still a
major question mark for them. Another reason people didn't think Jesus was Christ was
because of His socioeconomic level, as He was the son of a carpenter, an average
person, a teacher, and a humble guy. Whereas, “THE CHRIST” of a Christian, they
believe that the birth of Jesus is the answer to all questions, which most prophesies that
were written or taught by profits a long time ago. They embraced Jesus as the Christ
because He was born of original sin through the Virgin Birth (Immaculate Concepcion).
Explain why the human being is called the masterpiece of God.
Human beings are called to be God's masterpiece because they were made in
His image and likeness, and because humans are the ones who engage in all
that God possesses. We participate in all of God's qualities or attributes, yet ours
is not perfect. So we must accept the challenge of acting in accordance with our
nature. God has numerous attributes such as being truthful, omniscient, merciful,
and powerful, love, beauty, omnipresence, and these attributes encourage us to
be good and have SOME of those attributes. We, human beings, are God's
masterpiece because He wants us to be like Him and always be nice everyday.

8. Explain why faith experience makes the many different pictures, accounts,
descriptions and images of God.
 As can be seen, there are many, often contradictory, explanations of the
relationship between experience and doctrine or standards of theological
authority in evangelical philosophy. However, faith is an act that
presupposes religious experience. Our view on the image of our Gods
varies depending on who we connect with and who we surround ourselves
with. Furthermore, the religions we lived and belonged with, that
influences us and has a bigger impact on how we view things. Because
the more faith experiences you have and continue to have, the more your
faith in the Lord grows. Even though you cannot see God, you are aware
that He exists. The experience cannot be proven, but the individual will be
convinced of its veracity. It might result in a significant shift in behavior or
attitude on life.
In not less than 100 words, describe some manifestations about the evolution of
humanity.
 Some manifestation about the evolution of humanity is the size in terms of height,
the pre-historic man is much smaller than us and it around 3 feet only but now
the modern individuals height is around 5 feet above and that is because of the
climatic condition. Another manifestation about the evolution of humanity is size
of the brain, the pre-historic man has a smaller brain which is limited only for
fishing, hunting, gathering and cooking while the modern man have a bigger
brain because it has may function that divided into three periods which is the
Ancient, Medieval and Modern period and it has a different way of education, the
individuals can go to school at the age of 17 years old in Ancient, 12 years old in
Medieval and 7 years old in Modern Period which result to our intelligence.
Moreover, is also the size of the head, the pre-historic man had a big jaw and a
powerful teeth because it is use to survive in order to eat, while in the modern
individual we are more dependent into a tools that’s why we have weak jaw and
teeth. Lastly, in terms of muscles, the pre-historic man had more muscles and
has a huge body system. Over a period of time we can actually compare some of
the manifestations about the evolution of humanity both pre-historic and modern
man and many things had changed.

9. Describe the difference of the following;
1) The law in the old covenant and the law in the new covenant
The old covenant's law is written in words in paper in a book or tablet. The
law of the new covenant is written not in words or letters, but in the hearts
of people. Life was made simpler and free of the agony of remembering
and breaking so many written regulations. The law of the old covenant is
tougher because there are many types of commandments and their
actions are limited, however the new covenant has freedom to do anything
they want since rules are limited and not many.
2) The Ten Commandments and the Great Commandment
The distinction between the Ten Commandments and the Great
Commandments is that the Ten Commandments are made up of Ten
Commandments multiplied by 60, which is why people are limited in their
freedom since there are so many laws to obey. While the Great
Commandments are Jesus' invention, He made it simple and He
summarized because He understood that many rules were difficult, and it
consists only of two parts: the first four commandments teach you what it
means to love God, and the latter six commandments teach you what it
means to love your neighbor.
