What's on the Test Tomorrow

Bible:

In addition to your study guide be able to describe the crowd Jesus spoke to (had been sick, demon possessed, etc) but he healed them. They were poor and desperate people from all over Israel and Palestine. Know what blessed and righteous mean and be able to summarize the beatitudes.

Logic:

Know the difference between deductive and inductive logic and Mr. Donohue's 3 arguments for the existence of God, the three questions people ask when they suffer, and the 3 answers Jesus gives for suffering. Also, how can these three statements all be true: God is good, God is in control, and bad things happen.

Martha, the crowd was still poor after Jesus healed them. But the key to their blessing was that they sought out Jesus and wanted the kingdom he offered. The point is not whether you are rich or poor, sick or healthy but whether or not you have the kingdom of Heaven which is Jesus Himself.

You guys also need to know the Shema in English!!! Also that Jews worshipped at the Tabernacle with Moses then the Temple with Solomon and when that was destroyed in synagogues like the one we visited.
