The life of Peter When looking at the life of Peter, it was easy to see that he was an imperfect man. Despite the imperfections that Peter carried, Jesus decided to love on him and mold Peter into who he was called to be anyways.

At the beginning, the disciples in the boat are fearful thinking that Jesus is a ghost. When Peter realizes that it is in fact Jesus, he builds up courage and says “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.” When Peter starts

Christians often view salvation as a heavenly resting place; in reality, however, salvation is a lifelong journey that can bridge the gap between Heaven and Earth. This spiritual bridge can be crossed through faith coupled with good works. “Bridge”, a short story by Daniel O’Malley, features a young boy who struggles to comprehend salvation as well as find his own. This motif of salvation is achieved through the use of biblical allusions which also help support the fact that the bridge is a physical representation for the motif of the path to salvation which the narrator fails to cross. O’Malley starts his story with two biblical allusions, “...but also about the flood and locusts and frogs and other plagues that had happened before and could happen again…(192).

Peter, after he read this book we would discuss how the book has a polythetic view compared to Catholic beliefs.(question 7) We would also talk about virtues and vices emphasizing on how morals have troubles with sin.

Peter the Hermit, a priest of Amiens, who may, have attempted to go on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem before 1096, and have been prevented by the Turks from reaching hisdestination. It is uncertain whether he was present at Pope Urban II's great sermon at Clermont in 1095; but it is certain that he was one of the preachers of the crusade in France after that sermon and his own experience may have helped to give fire to his eloquence. He soon leapt into fame as an emotional revivalist preacher: his very ass became an object of popular adoration; and thousands of peasants eagerly took the cross at his bidding. The crusade of the pauperes, which forms the first act in the first crusade, was his work; and he himself led one of the five sections of the

Peter was taught how cruel the world can be very early in his life and he continued being treated in such cruel ways for years. Peter's brother was a very talented young man getting good grades and being exceedingly proficient in sports.

Peter had many good qualities, but one of his best was how strong his beliefs were in Jesus when he walked on water, in Matthew 14: 22-33. In this section of Matthew, Jesus, along with his disciples, get into a boat on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus tells the disciples to go along to the other side without Him, while he goes to pray on top of a mountain. At dawn they saw Jesus walking on water, and thought it was a ghost. Jesus reassured them that it was okay and that he was Jesus, but Peter had to make sure, so asked that Jesus invite him to walk on the water as well if it were really Him.

In addition to the Four Gospels, the Apostle Paul’s conversion experience and teachings support Jesus’ resurrection- Paul was a Pharisee before his conversion, an unlikely source to confirm the previous. Before the Apostle Paul converted to Christianity, he was a Pharisee who persecuted the church- he approved the stoning of Stephen (Acts.8:1&3). While travelling on the Road to Damascus, with the intentions to persecute and capture Christians, Saul encountered the resurrected Jesus Christ (Acts 9:1-7;17-22). Afterwards the Bible refers to Saul as Paul (Acts 13:9), the Apostle Paul’s faith and ministry center around the Gospel message, “Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you…

Jude was written in about A.D. 65, and 2 Peter around A.D. 67, both during the reign of Emperor Nero. They are often simple “grazed through” by believers because of their shortness in nature. However, an intricate study of these works beneath their surface reveals many hidden gems.
