74
What is Jesus' attitude toward the Purity Laws and the Old Testament in general in the Gospel of Matthew?
Jesus wanted to bring laws back to its original purpose!! - laws were meant to raise people up; for community - Jesus was NOT against laws and rituals - Jesus is the new and improved temple in Matthew - Jesus alluded to Moses presenting 10 commandments on Mt Sinai when he received the Beatitudes on the Mount
75
What is the theological significance of the Prologue to John's Gospel?
- battles heresies - Retelling of creation with Jesus in mind - proves Trinity always existed - Jesus is one with God - Jesus is the true Messiah - Everyone who believed in God, received God, and became his children through baptism - God became man, and this man, Jesus, revealed God's grace and truth to the people
