Things I Learned In Religion

Religion 120 has taught me something more than just the meaning of religion. I would argue that I will be taking away more knowledge from this class than any other class I have taken so far in my college career. The learning path Professor Robert takes has benefited me throughout the semester. The learning path I took persuaded me to open my mind and absorb and understand the ideas of other individuals. After I opened my mind up and read all of the content we were assigned in class, along with listened to my classmates and professor Robert’s take on religion, I was able to picture religion as something other than just the physical place of worship and discussions taken place there. When most individuals think of religion they think about going to church and not much else. Religion is so much more than just the physical place and the individuals leading the practice. Religion has the potential to help guide you in life, along with giving you a sense of meaning in this big world. Religion has the power to help you connect with individuals like yourself,

Getting to know my faith more has really changed my life, Before I started going back to church my life was falling apart but while I was learning about the Holy Spirit, God, Jesus Christ made me lead to the right direction. My Faith means a lot to me now that I am able to understand every detail about the

This semester of Christian Worldview has been beneficial for me learning more about all different types of worldviews. I started this class with a Christian background but a clean slate of not knowing what my true worldview really was. As I went through the semester, I gained tons of new knowledge to help me understand how my opinions matched with the different worldviews.

This has shaped me as a person beyond what words can express. Catholic schools truly prepare students for more than school and careers; they shape the whole person, body, mind, and soul, in Jesus. Imagine how different the world might be if every person realized and believed that God loves them just for who they are. Picture how different the world would be if we all viewed every other person as possessing that same degree of dignity and treated each other accordingly. Envision how different the world might be if people found their identity in Jesus rather than in the fleeting amusements and distractions so far beneath their worth. Can you imagine such a world? I can because of my education. Catholic school teachers can. Catholic school students can. Hopefully, together we will create a light that inspires others to realize the full truth of their potential and worth in God’s eyes, as well as realize the fullness of

This semester has been a revelation for me in my spiritual walk and building relationships with others. I have taken what I have learned in this class to bless others and encourage them that they can make it because God loves them. During the times of witnessing and servant hood, I have found so, many people that just want someone to listen and love them. My perception of people has changed because now I feel that I am more compassionate now, sensitive to the needs of others, humble, loving, and willing to be servant.

One thing that really stood out to me this year was at senior retreat when Janna said “you don't have to be religious to be spiritual.” I thought that fit my situation almost perfectly. I believe in a higher power and that by being a good person will earn you a spot in whatever heaven is out there. However, I don't believe that by getting a divorce, or being gay, or eating meat on a Friday in Lent will send you to Hell. I believe the way you live your life and the way you treat other people will determine your future. From realizing that, my journey has come a long way. Because my family is so religious, I often feel lost because I don't believe everything they

As I was headed towards 6th grade, I started studying the Bible with Jehovah’s Witnesses. This created a huge change in my family. As a Hispanic, being a Catholic is a big thing. Though my parents stopped studying the Bible, I continued. This created a division in my family.

As you reflect on your past college year, explain how your faith has impacted your life. Think of decisions that you made and / or actions that you chose to take.

I began to accompany my mom when she went to pray for family friends, and also when she would go volunteer at events that took place at our church. I met different people from diverse backgrounds who had gone through different tragedies. Through prayers people who had lost a loved a one, or lost hope in bad situation in life had gained new hope once again. It was a beautiful thing to see others experience. We were all so different, but yet so similar when it came to our faith in God. That same faith has helped maintain a positive mentality, and always look towards the bright side in difficult situations within my communities. That faith has become an important part of who I am today. It has helped me immerse myself into trying new things such as helping people and becoming an involved member within my

always been putting my religion first, especially in my education at school. One teacher that I will always remember is my seventh grade religion teacher, Mrs. Romano. Every single class Mrs. Romano drilled into our minds the four cardinal virtues; Prudence, Justice, Temperance, and Fortitude! To be totally

Holy Family Catholic School has helped me grow in my faith, knowledge, and service. I have participated in faith journeys, K4J skits, and sending Christmas presents to poor children around the world. Holy Family Catholic School is a great example and has helped me grow in my faith, knowledge, and service.

In the beginning of class, we studied soul care and how we are held accountable for our Christian family. We learned about dialogue and how it helps gain trust in conversation, not to mention it builds self-esteem. Any way we can help better others in what matters most to me. This will help me in the future. In week four we learned about dreams and the conscious and the unconscious. Most dreams are from satan in my opinion, but some can be from God like mine was when I saw Jesus. The devil can attack our self-esteem through dreams and can make us scared to do anything if we allow it. The battle field is of the mind. In week five we looked at different ways of counseling and if sin influences our lives

My recent journey into faith and want to learn more of our Lord would be the event or experience that is the main influence towards my academic work and goals with Colorado Christian University.

Identify what you consider to be the most significant thing you learned this week. I learned to seek good not evil, that you may live. In The New Interpreter’s Study Bible page 1286.” seek good and not evil, that you may live; and so the LORD, the God of hosts, will be with you, just as you have said.” (Amos 5:14, 2003). Israelites were doing evil over good, which make the LORD to be angry to them. They were worship gods and killed each other. They turned the kingdom of God to their own kingdom and they did not listen what God said to them.

Everything we’ve learned throughout this course has been interesting and important to me, but I realized that I had more interest in the discussions about religious
