What do you think of Socrates Teaching Style?
- I think it makes the class more bearable because it erases the existence of awkward silence because there is always a conversation going on. It also creates a sort of bond between the students because there is more conversation going on because they're now comfortable with talking. ]]> 2017-09-05 22:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mariamboules17/5xktn6sid646/wish/184947038 mariamboules17 https://padlet.com/mariamboules17/5xktn6sid646/wish/185712981 2. Have you had teachers like Socrates and if so did you learn much from them? 
-Yes I have had teachers who used the Socratic method and I did learn a lot from them because they simplified the lesson enough to be communicated through a conversation.]]> 2017-09-07 21:57:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mariamboules17/5xktn6sid646/wish/185712981 mariamboules17 https://padlet.com/mariamboules17/5xktn6sid646/wish/186982728 1. Given that God does exist, must He be good?
- Everything he does has good intentions. The event may not be positive, but we learn best out of the worst situations. You learn from your mistakes and become more stronger though trials and tribulations. ]]> 2017-09-12 21:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mariamboules17/5xktn6sid646/wish/186982728 mariamboules17 https://padlet.com/mariamboules17/5xktn6sid646/wish/194905058 Chapter 3: Chapter 3 starts off talking about John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness. Then he went to the Jordan and started baptizing people. Then Jesus came and asked John to baptize him. At first John tried to prevent it by saying, "I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?" (Matthew 3:14) One thing that stood out to me was the fact that Jesus asked John to baptize him even though Jesus could have easily baptized himself. This is one of many numerous acts of humility that Jesus portrays to us. Another thing that I found really cool was that in the last few verses it shows the presence of the Father, the Son, and The Holy Spirit. "When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." (Matthew 3: 16-17)]]> 2017-10-07 12:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mariamboules17/5xktn6sid646/wish/194905058 mariamboules17 https://padlet.com/mariamboules17/5xktn6sid646/wish/194905569 Ruth is married to one of Naomi's son.
