 * //__Nathan Blasevi__//**
 * //__The Beatitudes means that we need to put God before us and everything__//**

3. With this step you have two choices (you must do your own work here...) :
 * Read this passage "The Widow's Offering" and __ explain __ in a short paragraph which Beatitudes are illustrated through this passage: [|The parable of the Widow's Offering Mark 1: 41-44] [|Explanation of the parable] (You will receive a C or less on this part of the criteria if you choose this option).
 * OR using your bibles, or searching online, locate a parable or other passage in the New Testament which illustrates one or more of the values from the Beatitudes. Try this as a starting point: [|List of parables] . __Describe__ in your own words which Beatitudes are illustrated in your chosen parable. (for an A or B you must do this option).

Zois Patelis The Beatitudes that are illustrated through this passage is that the poor widow gave more money than all the other rich people who were giving money. Is that the poor widow has no money but still gave two copper coins and the poor widow contributed more than those who have already contributed.

The Beatitudes that are illustrated in my chosen parable is that the lamp was lit but puts it on a stand and who enter may see the light.

Explanation How the Beatitudes is clear to us is that we need to to donate more money to people who are poor and why do Beatitudes is clear to us because we need to help the poor so that they are not in poverty and so that they are not starving form hunger and thirst.

Description The characteristics withe the Beatitudes is that the poor can give more money like the poor widow in the story about giving two copper coins which the poor widow contributed more than anyone else did.

4. What does it mean to be marginalised or outcast? As a team make a Venn Diagram or other chart which compares who the outcasts or marginalised were in Jesus' time, and who are those left on the margins of society today. (for example... a widow or a tax collector was an outcast in Jesus' time - today, it might be the homeless or refugees...)
 * //__1)__//**

5. Here again, you have two choices: (complete on your own and label) Zois Patelis Hundreds of children under 18 are recruited into government armed forces, paramilitaries, civil militia and a variety of other armed groups. This is because they are abducted from school, on the streets or at home.
 * Read one of the scenarios about Human Rights and Children from Amnesty International linked here: [|Scenarios] . __ Explain __ in a short paragraph how this relates to the Beatitudes today. (C response...)

//**__Nathan Blasevi__**// Zois Patelis In today's society a real life situation where someone is outcast or marginalised is that people are not treated the same or they are treated differently from from everyone else. How this illustrates or relates to the Beatitudes today is that someone out there has or is being outcast or marginalised.

 * Evil
 * Conscience

Nathan Blasevi Good - acceptable Evil-corrupt conscience-compunction  Zois Patelis Good - acceptable, keen, neat Evil - corrupt, bad, atrocious Conscience - compunction, principles, demur  <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: #ffff00; color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;">3. Paste onto your team page two media items( movie,link,clip,)... one that portrays good and the other evil. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Evil Good <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Zois Patelis <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Good Samaritan  <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This bible shows us that there is a man hurt on the road, where 2 people pass by him but do not help him. A good samaritan appears and helps him and he gives him clothes and brings him to a hotel where he pays for him. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Bad Samaritan <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This portrays 2 people pretending to be good samaritans to a foreign person who got hurt in the riots but the good samaritans were fake for what they did was to get his bag and steal his personal belongings. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Zois Patelis <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What is often accepted as good is the environment because people live in communities where there are large numbers of environments and that we must keep our environment clean in our communities. We must keep our communities clean because it is good for the community and makes the people who live in that community happy and feel safe to live in a good environment. The environment is also accepted as good because it is being cared of from the community and others around from different areas. An environment helps people think of walking to school because there is no rubbish on the ground and that the environment around the community is clean. An environment is also accepted as good because people take care of it and if they see rubbish they pick it up and throw it in the bin and it makes the environment in the community more cleaner.
 * For each media item, EXPLAIN why each item portrays "good" or "evil"
 * Write a 300 word reflection statement on the following: "What is often accepted as "good" in society is not always "good" in Christian life". Refer to an aspect of mainstream society that your conscience tells you might be acceptable for others, but you know in your heart isn't quite right (eg, consumerism, only wanting name brands, casual/binge drinking, damage to the environment, focussing on being "popular", etc...). Each group member should focus on a different aspect of society to reflect on.

<span style="background-color: #00ff00; color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 21px; text-align: left;"> 4. Find the lyrics to a song or poem that promotes good in society.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
 * Embed a hyperlink to that song /lyrics on your team page. (see the wiki "help" section for how to hyperlink.
 * EXPLAIN how that song promotes good. Make sure you quote specific lines from the song and explain those lines.

Zois Patelis Lyrics
 * Save the earth is our cry is heard**
 * Save the earth across the land**
 * An important job we all have to do**
 * Make certain that everyone will lend a helping hand**

How the song promotes good is that everyone should give each other a hand to save the earth. Make certain that everyone will lend a helping hand means that everybody should help each other by saving the earth.

5. Find a scripture passage that has a positive message that helps shape your life. Zois Patelis
 * Copy and paste the scripture passage and its bible reference onto your team page.
 * Write about a time in your life when you had a choice whether or not to "do good". Explain how applying this scripture passage to your life may have helped you with that choice (ie, you didn't choose good, but on reflection could have; or you did choose good, what influenced you?)
 * __2Corinthians 4__**

Reference:http://www.christianityoasis.com/Bible/BIBLE/2_corinthians_4.html


 * 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; **

====** 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. **==== <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
 * 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: **

Zois Patelis A story when whether or not to do good was when I stole my cousin's money.

<span style="background-color: #ffff00; color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; text-align: center;"> Challenge 4 will push you to think a bit more deeply about the connections between the 10 Commandments, the Beatitudes... and how the WORLD may show us one way of living is "good" but our faith guides us to do more...

A person who does not have faith and does not believe we are responsible for helping others in our world would make the people suffer from bad health. Health is an important issue because we must donate blood to people who need. What I have learnt about my faith in recent weeks that might lead me to take interest in this topic is that I should donate to the poor who are suffering. Five facts about this issue is that their are 8 million children who die each year, their is a lack of health services, the population live on less than $2 per day, poor countries capable of funding and they are forced to live in squalid conditions.

<span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> Diary entry <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> A person who does not have faith and believe that we are responsible for helping other in our world is someone who doesn't donate. This person does not help the poor because he does not know what to do. This person also doesn't donate because he doesn't like helping. The person who feels we are not responsible for helping others in our world thinks that he won't have to do it in his life. This could make more children die every year which would increase the number of children dying every year. Finally this person should help because this could stop a child dying or suffering from health conditions.
