As I have come to study about the Catholic Age and the Councils, I never thought that there are so many things that I can learn from it, especially about the Councils and the Creeds. There are some things that I never knew before, like about the Council, I never thought that they had existed that way, and how they had become as a group. All I knew before is that the Church just begun and founded by different Saints and some kind of group of people like the Priest and Popes, it never came across in mine about the Council. I honestly just heard this word and learned it from this course and that means that it is one of my learning. Second is how the Council was formed and how they had worked together, I was really surprised and amazed at their work, I never knew that there are some kind of work like that they were pretty good in making the decision when it comes to knowing which one is the right doctrine. But then because of peoples different view and could not really work out together or unite together, there are always so many lapses. All of there arguments did not bother me anyway specially when it comes to my faith in Christ.
In connection to my life about this topic, if before I knew so little and almost to nothing about the history of our church council, and now there is no way for me to stay blind and dept about it, and I know that I have now the responsibility to share what I have come to learn and studied, but yet with humbleness and gentleness. The things that I think I need to change is my way of sharing and talking, because sometimes I could not recognize if I am being too proud of what I was saying, I heard it from my sister a while ago about me being proud sometimes, but then I did not know that I was being proud already. I thank God for the people that told me of what they saw in me that I somehow could not see. So next time, I will be extra careful not to be too proud or boastful.
First things that I will do is that I have to keep in my mind and learned from my mistakes, and listen to what other people say about me that they have seen and I didn't. Second is that I have to calm my self and stay humble with a gentle voice and gentle heart.
