Journal Article Review II: The Church as Forgiving Community: An Initial Model Journal Article Review II: The Church As Forgiving Community: An Initial Model Summary Magnuson and Enright (2008) offer a discussion of forgiveness and how important it is to the complex human being. Forgiveness is first recognized in the Bible. It is a way of ending resentment and responding to others in a generously. Forgiveness does not involve forgetting the unjust act that occurred, but it offers mercy to the offender (Magnuson & Enright, 2008).

His opinion is mixed because although he accepts the society’s idea of Jim being a slave he still respects him. His acceptance of the society’s idea of Jim being a slave is shown when Huck addresses Jim as “Miss Watson’s nigger” (Twain, 17). By addressing Jim as such Huck is excepting society’s position on slavery without really having any experience with it himself. Huck’s acceptance is also shown when Jim brings up the idea of stealing his wife and children back, in which he responds “It most froze me to hear such talk” (Twain, 88). This shows his acceptance because he doesn’t see Jim as a person and he sees his children as someone else’s property, which he feels would be wrong to steal.

Rule 13 of Ignatius's Rules for Thinking with the Church said: "That we may be altogether of the same mind and in conformity [...], if [the Church] shall have defined anything to be black which to our eyes appears to be white, we ought in like manner to pronounce it to be black.
Their main goal ounce again was to evangelize with the local people there about Christ. They stop many places including Iconium, Lystra and Derbe (Acts 13:13-20). They not only shared the gospel in these places, but they also established churches as well. Everywhere they traveled, one thing was obvious, they were evangelizing and preaching the word of God and raising people up to keep the church alive while they were gone. This tie in with Paul’s letter writing and even his epistles because everything he did even in later life was to help raise others up in the church and to save souls for the Kingdom of God.
In the Gospel of Mark, I see Jesus, the Son of God, as a loving, faithful, obedient servant who walks in compassion; doing the will of His Father. He is a servant. His message to us all is “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).

ENGL 1302 05 March 2013 Symbolism of the Parable of the Prodigal Son Jesus uses parables as one of his way to teach. A parable is a story that is used to illustrate a moral or a spiritual lesson that is told by Jesus in the Gospels. The parable of the “Prodigal Son” is a short story that is written in the bible to show how a prodigal son repents after all of his sins and God forgives him. This story has symbolic meaning to the forgiveness that God has for every one of his children and all of the sins that they commit and rejoice of the father that he has for the return of an ungrateful and dissipated son. In the parable of “The Prodigal Son” the younger son is “volatile and mercurial, and impatient of restraint, roving, and willing to try his fortune, and, if he fall into ill hands, likely to be a rake, notwithstanding his virtuous education.” (Henry).
