In this Analysis, Trey Reidle, Felix Read, and I collaborated together to provide a deep explanation and deeper thought of the Last Things. We provide information for deeper thought on the Last Things of Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and Judgment and provide the deeper significance of each one of these. We explain how we are placed in each of these places and the events surrounding these

In this analysis on the Apostolic Succession, Trey Reidle, Felix Read, and I all worked together to provide a deeper meaning and significance of the Apostolic Succession. We show in our idea sketch how Apostolic Succession is present today through our pope and bishops. Also, we show how Christ's authority is passed down through this lineage of Apostolic Successors.
MR 4.D Analysis on The Four Marks of the Church
In this Analysis, Felix Read, Trey Reidle and I all worked together in order to provide a deeperthough into the four marks of the Church. We go on to explain each mark of the church and the significance of each. We speak of the Apostolic Succession, the universal catholic church, the holiness which comes directly from Christ and the oneness of the Church.

MR 5.F Last Things
Last Things
-Heaven
State of being
-in union with God
-Beatific Vision
Perfectly purified from sin either in life by the sacraments or in purgatory
Together with the saints and angels
-Purgatory
State of being
Follows Particular Judgment
-judgment by Jesus immediately after death
Enter when in a state of grace
Look forward to Heaven
-sure chance of getting in
Safe in God's love
-no further than on earth
Not Hell
-only punishment is delay to see God
-Hell
State of being
Eternal separation from God
-death in mortal sin
-free choice
Eternal suffering
-hatred and unhappiness
With Satan and demons
-bitterness and despair for having turned away from God
MR 5.F The last things
The last things of the church are the final stages possible for a soul to be in after death. They include heaven, purgatory, and hell. Along with these things, judgement plays a huge role in a soul's final state. After death a souls's moral decisions are looked into which will decide what they deserve. At the end of time all souls will be judged.
MR 5.F The Last Things
Jesus's plan for redemption granted the reopening of the gates of Heaven. But we are still given three paths to take after death. Heaven, the kingdom of God, purgatory, a place where the wandering souls wait for their sins to be repented and are still able to go to Heaven, and Hell, Satans domain where the damned are suffering eternally and no way out. But heaven, hell,and purgatory are not a certain area, but a state of being for the dead souls.

MR 5.E Apostolic Succession
The authority given to the apostles has been handed down through these past two thousand years. Our current bishops and the pope are successors to the apostles. The first example of the apostles' authority was the election of Matthias as the new apostle. Therefore Matthias had the same authority as the apostles and he was no different. The Holy Spirit guidd apostolic succession so that it is infallible.
MR 5.E Apostles and Magisterium
As visible assembly of the faithful on earth, Christ established the church with a visible structure and hierarchy. By selecting the twelve apostles, Jesus set upon the stones of the church that will help make a better foundation. Though they were not able to live on through their physical body, the apostles were able to endure their office through their successors, being the Pope. Throughout the centuries, the bishops in Union with the pope have faithfully governed the church, transmitted the gospel to each generation, and celebrated the sacraments instituted by Christ.

MR 5.D The Marks of the Church
This is a really cool idea sketch that we collaborated on to analyze the four marks of the church. We broke down each of the meanings and proved their infallibility. We gave examples and proof for what we were talking about. We used the book for reference so it should be correct. We didn't just give facts.

Four Marks of the Church
One
-all people (Chosen People) under one church, Catholic
Holy
-the actions of man do not affect the holiness of the Church
-Church is holy because of God, not man
therefore man's actions cannot affect the holiness of the Church
Catholic
-religion instituted at the Last Supper
-The One refered to in the four marks of the Church
-God's Chosen People
Apostolic
-Church passed down through the Apostiles
-Apostiles given the authority to run the Church
-inherited the Church, passed it down to later generations which passed it down to us
MR 5.B Kingdom of God
These are my notes for the kingdom of God. In them, I explained how everybody is invited to partake in the divine life. I talk about God's plan for man, which is simply us being united with him. Also, how we are supposed to cooperate with grace is a major point I included. The facts are found a few millimeters below.
MR 5.C Analysis on The Mystical Body of Christ
In this Idea Sketch Analysis, Felix Read, Trey Reidle and I all collaborated together in order to attempt to perfectly compare the feast analogy with the "feast" God offers us in his divine life. We state how we first must believe and listen to what is being told to us in order to start participating. After we state how you must first believe and listen, you must follow the instructions given to you in order to fully participate and be present in this "feast".
MR 5.B Analysis on The Kingdom of God
In this Analysis of The Kingdom of God, I took notes on how God wanted us to partake in his divine life and how we rejected God's plan through original sin. I also took notes on how through Chrit's suffering, death, and the Church he established, we are able to participate in God's plan and achieve complete holiness in the Kingdom of God. I also took notes on how God made it possible for man to participate in his divine life through the Incarnation and the graces of the redemption.
MR 5.D The Church is Necessary for Salvation
The banquet examples is a very good analogy for how we need the church to receive salvation. We tied together the steps from the analogy to those for the church. We explained that the church requires faith and participation for the salvation to be received.
MR 5.C Kingdom of God
This is God's kingdom. We were given brief explanations of it from Jesus during his sermons. Now we are able to better understand how the kingdom of God was fulfilled and how it was active in our world. We better know how we are able to participate. We know how we must spread the works of the kingdom of God.
MR 5.A Analysis on the Ascension
In this Analysis, Trey Reidle, Felix Read and I all collaborated together to analyze the Ascension and how Christ led the Apostles to begin their ministry. Christ in his days taught his apostles of how to lead the Church and to baptize those of all nations and he prepared them for their coming of the Holy Spirit Christ before he leaves gives the Apostles his authority to forgive sins which only God and Christ obtain.
MR 5.B Pentecost
The Pentecost is the beginning of the Catholic Church. At this event, the apostles and Mary are baptized with the Holy Spirit so that they may baptize us. This is where they are given the power to spread the good news to all nations. They begin their mission to lay the foundation of the church. We made a nice little idea sketch about

MR 5.A Analysis on the Ascension
This is not just facts. We spent time reading through the text and understanding what if was saying and how we could express it in our own words. The stuff we wrote down is beyond what the average catholic knows about the ascension. We looked for the key points that further explain the significance about the ascension. We analyzed how the ascension signifies Jesus' divinity and how it affected everybody else.

The Ascention
The Ascention
-Reasurrection
Overcoming of sin and death
Initiated His glorification
Glory would not be fuly accomplished until Ascention
-Final days before Ascention
Teaching and instructing the Apolsiles
Confirming their faith
Prepared them to receive the Holy Spirit
-Ascention
Completed His glorification
Ascended into Heaven Body and Soul

Created a relationship founded on a life of faith, hope, and love
-prayer and the Sacraments
be in close relationship with Him
-Descent of the Holy Spirit

-could now receive Christ through the Sacraments whenever we wanted
I have outlines the section of the Ascention in Chapter 4. This is a list of facts that happened during the time of Christ's Ascention. But it also answers the question of why Jesus had to leave again after His death. I have not given my opinion of what I think about the Ascention of Jesus. I have analyses it.

MR 4.E Analysis on Resurrection
In this EduCreations, Felix Read and I analyzed an artricle written by Peter Kreeft. Peter Kreeft talks about how there are common misconceptions and theories about disproving the resurrection. Kreeft in his article talks about how these misconceptions are not true and provides evidence for this. Felix Read and I analyzed further on Peter Kreeft's article. We analyzed how these misconceptions further can be disproved very easily.

MR 4.E: Resurrection
My previous post was an Idea Sketch explaining what the Church has taught us about Chris's descendance into death to confirm all the souls awaiting the Kingdom of God or to be damned.
Death
-Death
The Way of the Cross
-Jesus carried His Cross to where he was to be crusified
-Suffering from His weak condition, blood loss, physical shock, and trauma
-Carried Cross to Calvary
-Fell three times
-St. Simon helped Him carry the Cross
All Christians should be willing to help Jesus
-Superhuman effort to die for human sin
Crusifiction
-Climax of Chirts's Passion and Death
-Nailed hands and feet
-Arms outstretched
Symbolic embrace of the whole human race
-Crusifiction killed by asphyxiation
Two Others

-"Jesus remember me when you come into your kingdom."
Passion

Agony in the Garden
-Kiss of Betrayal
Judas
-Jesus is aressted
-Brought before the Sanhedrin
Jewish authority
Charged Jesus of blasphemy
Taken before Postius Pilat
-Roman procurator of Judea
-Sanhedrin tried to get him to condem Jesus to death by making many excuses
Pilat did not want to give an innocent man such a terrible death, crusifiction
-Gave the people a choice of Barabbas, a murderer, or Jesus, an innocent man
Released Barabbas
-Gave permission for the Crusifiction of Jesus
Washed his hands
Scourging at the Pillar
-whipped with leather cords
Bone, glass, metal tied to cords
Ripped flesh, muscle, destroyed nerves
-die by bleeding to death or by pain
Crowning of Thorns
-mocking Him as a king
-Pilat was struck with pity for Jesus
-crowd was still not satisfied
Pilat sentenced Jesus to death
The Last Supper
The Last Supper was the last event before Christ's Passion, Death, and Ressurection. It was the moment when Jesus left behind His greatest legacy, the Holy Eucharist. He educated the Apostiles throughout the evening in a very spiritual and theological way. During the diner, He took the bread and he consecrated it, turning it into His body. He then took the wine and did the same, turning it into His blood. It was also the time when He instituted the sacrament of Holy Orders, giving ment he ability to become priests, so that He could speak through the priests to us, His people. After the Supper, Jesus took the position of a servant and got down on His knees and started washing the Aposstiles' feet. Jesus came down from heaven to serve us, not to rule us. He came and gave us His body and blood to take in as much as we wanted. And by Him washing the Apostiles feet. He shows that He, who is above all others, came to serve. The King of Heaven and Earth came down to die for our sins and save us so we can be with Him in heaven for ever.
Eucharistic Prayer
We cannot demand God's love or his body and blood to be in union with Him. That is why we ask Him to let it be done during Mass.

Resurrection analysis 10/24
In this idea sketch, I further explain most of the general facts of the resurrection. I tried to show the true significance behind every little event. I even disproved two of the heretical beliefs regarding the resurrection. This ties together each point to show the real importance of this event. That Jesus now leaves it up to us through baptism to save us from sin.

What if I Witnessed the Transfiguration?
If I was there with Jesus throughout His ministry here icon earth I would have gladly followed His preaching. He was the perfect Christ. Many claimed they were and accused of blasphemy. So of coarse there would have been many who would just think of Jesus as another one of those claimers. But after I would witness His miracles, it would be clear to me that he was. Even more so during the Transfiguration when He showed His true form to us. Along side Moses and Elijah in the Light of God, he would have turned many to the ways of God and strengthened my faith even more than what it already was. I would have followed Him to the ends of the Earth.
Purgatory analysis
I made this idea sketch to explain what purgatory is and it's importance. It's important to understand how we will end up when we die. And purgatory is one of the 3 places we can end up. So how exactly do we get there. Let me show you.

Transfiguration
Chapter 4 Activity 10/20/2014: Analysis
Transfiguration
-Temptation by Satan in the Desert
In the desert, one of the three temptations by Satan to Jesus to redeem the world without the Cross right then and there.
-Jesus wept
-Temptation by Peter on Mt. Tabor
Jesus says He must redeem the world by dying on a cross.
Peter doesn't like that and says no!
Jesus says, "Get behind me Satan."
-Peter wanting Jesus to redeem without the Cross
-Transfiguration
God shows His true form to us
Moses and Elijah

MR 4.D Analysis on Justin Martyr
This account by Justin Martyr gives an explanation of the Eucharist and how it was formed and began. He tells us about how Jesus gave up his body and blood, through the bread and wine, to give to us. This is the representation of Jesus Christ with us to this day. He goes on to explain how us Christians all come together in one common place to worship The Lord our God every Sunday to receive him and be in communion with him and our others. This relates to what we have learned about the last supper because Justin Martyr is explaining how we are called to be in communion with Jesus Christ through the Eucharist. Being written in 150 A.D., this shows how the legacy and the Eucharist has lasted with the same tradition over two thousand years and how it has not changed. This is an example how Jesus' passion and love is endless and forever lasting.
MR 4.C Analysis on Transfiguration
In this Idea Sketch, Felix Read and i analyzed the Transfiguration. We analyzed how the Transfiguration affected the apostles and was a big showing of Jesus' divine nature. We analyzed how Christ manifested his divinity and how it was veiled by his humanity. We also learned the significance of the Cross and that it was the only way that Jesus could redeem us of our sins. Felix and I also learned that the transfiguration was a large part in the salvation of us and the spread of his teachings.

MR 4.C Analysis on the Last Supper
In this EduCreations video, Felix Read and I analyzed the Last Supper. We learned how by giving his disciples the bread and the wine, that Christ established himself as the new Passover Lamb. We discovered that Jesus was the ultimate servant because he washed his disciples feet, when in reality, they should be doing that to him. We analyzed the significance of Jesus' breaking the bread and drinking the cup. We focused on the significance of the Last Supper and how Jesus was beginning to establish his new eternal covenant with us.

Chapter 4 Exit Ticket #THParks17 #12184
Being an apostle and witnessing the Transfiguration would be a life changing moment if that was me. It would show how that man is the one to listen to, follow, and serve. It would be a changing moment and how i acted towards others. It would show me that there is truly a divine Christ and that there is a heaven and a loving God. This would cause me to be a better person towards others and to live in full communion with God. This would also show me that there is a right and wrong and that there is a reason.
MR4 Transfiguration
Here is a brief explanation of the transfiguration. I worked pretty hard on it. It is probably the best Idea sketch I've made so far. There is much detail. I think it is worthy of an A.
Duong Exit Ticket 10/20
If I was an apostle, the hardest thing to grasp would be that God had sent Moses and Elijah to represent the important aspects of God's plan for Salvation. Moses representing Law and Elijah representing Prophecy. Without the witnessing of Tranfiguration, the Disciples wouldn't be able to understand why Christ had died on the Cross
Chapter 4 Activity 2: Analysis
-Satan waited to find out who the woman and her Son would be
-Satan would engage them in a supernatural battle
-Jesus's divine and human natures were tempted by Satan in the desert
The devil was waiting to find out who the woman and her Son would be and by tempting Him in the desert he has begun to find out who Jesus really is and he has come closer to his plan.
Christ's final temptation was by Satan was that Jesus would have power and control of the whole world.
The priest in Maine's main emphasis is "Is Jesus the Son of God". Satan tempted Jesus by asking Him these questions. Satan also tempted Adam and Eve, but they gave into the temptation. All of Satan's temptations towards us are tempting our humanity. Satan has always tempted our humanity even way back during the times of the Israelites. But only Jesus was the one who's divinity was tempted. Satan tempted His divinity twice and if Jesus had given in then it would have seemed as though he would have wanted to prove something to Satan. But Jesus has nothing to prove to the devil. He has nothing to prove to any one. That is why when we sometimes ask God to show Himself to us, nothing happens. That is because he shouldn't have to do that. We should already believe in Him through our Faith and in what the Church has taught us.

Our idea sketch is short and sweet. It does not go into very much detail. However, it makes good connections that we learned from our homework. You will not be disappointed and if you are then I don't know what to tell you. It also has a nice organized structure so that's pretty good 😄😄😄
#Duong17
I was surprised of his knowledge of analyzing the word of God due to his relationship with God that is so strong.
