In this semester I tried to do as many things as I can to help with the huge issue that we are all facing today in our society, world poverty. I have done a couple of things this semester. I went to a food bank with one of my classmates and some of my friends [...]

Christians always refer to the bible as a guide to help them through their life. Every Christian that believes in the bible will look at the book of Revelation and relate it to our present life as we progress through the years. Every book in the bible is a message from God on its own [...]

A picture is worth a thousand words! and I have 3!!
Counter-cultural means to have values and behavior that opposes or counters the present culture of that time. I guess you can say that Jesus was counter-cultural during his time. He was titled the King of the Jews and everyone hated Jews back then. His followers [...]

The project is going well. Last week, I went with one of my classmates to a food bank in Chalmette. We helped pack food and we went back to the storage room and helped deliver some food to the poor. We also helped bring food to the people who came to pick it up for the [...]

 I choose to write my letters to a couple of important people to me because I thought they would help since they are very religious and close to God and are also able to help with a problem like that. Unfortunately I didn’t get any responses from anyone yet.

A prophet is one inspired by God through the Holy Spirit to deliver a message for a specific purpose. There are so many biblical prophets in Christianity, and they are all very important. Some examples of the [...]

All of the prophets were good people.  They always informed their people about everything that would be beneficial to them.  They never harmed anyone.  All of the Biblical prophets had a goal to make the world a better place.  They dedicated their lives in [...]

 
My project is going better than I expected.  I am done editing my video and I hope to post it on YouTube very soon.  It is very unfortunate that I was only able to make the video and not the other stuff.  I must admit I got caught up with all my other classes, but [...]

Taking a theology class at Xavier University was a great learning experience. I was very pleased to have the oppourtinity to take such a class which gave me a better insight about life and the bible that we have everyday and might ignore because of our ignorance, unfortuantely. This class, indeed, helped to  understand more [...]

I would like to thank everyone for their comments. They were very beneficial on my part and I really took them into consideration. I worked really hard on the video and it was a lot of fun to do. I really hope everyone enjoys the video and I hope that the purpose of my video [...]

One of the problem that I wish to solve in the world is corruption. The reason why I want to address this problem because corruption nothing is worse than not being treated fairly.

In this blog, I am going to do a lot of research to see the statistics in the world of world hunger and poverty. As far as I know, the statistics are pretty bad and we need to do something before it is too late. There are so many things we can do to help [...]

1.    I think that this course does give students a better understanding of what a Bible scholar does. I will not lie I had my stereotypes about what a biblical scholar was like. I thought that they would be boring and kind of dull but Dr. Homan is not like that at all. He is [...]

I chose to write to Tyra Bamks Dana “Queen Latifah” Owens Oprah and also Monique the comedian. All these women are successful black women who exemplify elegance. Many of them have beaten the odds and they show positive images of women. They have a lot of pull in the media and can show girls that [...]

I have been doing research on my project and found some statistics about the world’s poverty. It feels like every time I research on the subject, I see the percentage of poverty increase everytime, which is not very good and that pushes me more to want to help the world by trying to stop or lessen the world’s poverty as much as [...]

Its the final blog of the semester and I cannot be happier. So here goes nothing for the final blog entry:
