This week in Theology class, we didn’t do much. We took the test for Chapter 2, which was over a lot of things. The test consisted of multiple choice questions and an essay. I put a lot of preparation into the essay and I decided I would write about the essay I wrote for the test.
In the essay, I talked about the people God “Chose”. Seth (a son of Adam and Eve) because a covenant and had many descendants, including Noah. Abraham also became a covenant and he also had many descendants. But what I found most interesting while writing this essay was how God chose Noah and his family to build an ark so they could survive the Flood he was planning. God was very disappointed in humanity. His heart was grieved. God decided he wanted to flood the planet. But for some reason, he chose that Noah and his family would survive the flood and build an Ark. Noah loaded many animals on the Ark. After the flood was over, Noah was injured and he couldn’t continue to be a priest (Noah was a “Chosen One”). Noah wanted Shem to take his place as a priest. God’s salvation history consisted of Noah being injured and Shem taking his place and to be a “Chosen One”. I thought that was very interested and I hope I got a good grade on that portion of the test.
