In my opinion, the three major problems that were conveyed in the book of Acts were: prejudice, persecution, and distrust of Paul the apostle. The beginning of Acts mostly talks about Peter and his teachings to the people. In Acts chapter 10, God shows Peter a vision of a great sheet knit at [...]

1) This class really helped to give me a level of expertise on the Bible. First, it helped me to get to know and think about the authors. For example, I grew up believing that Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible. I did not take into consideration the different [...]

When I reflect on my progress this semester, I feel that I deserved an “A” on my blogs both about my project and about the readings and lectures. First of all, I stayed up-to-date for much of the semester. Every week, I got a blog entry done (which is what I thought was [...]

I have done five things to “change the world”:
1) Helped children to read by:
a) Encouraging those who already know how to read by reinforcing it or helping those children who do not know how to read well to sound out words so that they could make out words they are not particularly familiar with. [...]

Dorothea’s performance in theology class is like unto a little girl running a race (I will name her Moesha) against an older, faster, smarter girl (I will name her Mahalia). These two girls were always competative against each other. They finally decided to go on a race. The race came with many obstacles. [...]

Hello everyone. My project was very interesting. Lauren and I started off reading to the children at Noah’s Arc. The children there were attentive. This was an older group (approximately ages 5-9). When we went to Kingsley, we tried to read to the children but they were not very attentive. [...]

The book of Tobit had some special to do with my project. In the book of Tobith, a fish gall bladder helped to restore the sight of Tobit. Just as the restoring of sight from a fish gall bladder helping a person to have their sight restored sounds proposterous, some parts of my [...]

Hello again everyone,
I appreciate your comments and criticisms concerning my project. It appears to some that there is a misunderstanding about the scope of my project so let me make it more clear. At the beginning of my project, I did have a few plans in the air (just in case one did [...]

Beer was a dietary sample rich in carbohydrates, vitamins, and proteins. It was safer to drink than water because its alcohol content killed the microorganisms. Beer was so highly favored that the goddess, Ninkasi was named as a goddess of beer. Beer during that time was consumed by both women and men [...]

The implementation of my project proved to be very successful. I will first talk about the books that we read to the children and then talk about their response to the readings.
Lauren Williamson and I am working together on the project since we had similar goals. The books that we had were veggie [...]

The biblical prophets came from many different backgrounds. For example, Moses, although he was Hebrew, grew up in an Egyptian household of luxury. Jeremiah was called as a youth. Isaiah volunteered whenever God asked for someone to be a prophet for Him.
In addition to predicting the future, the biblical prophets were spokespersons [...]

Accordint to I Samuel 8:5 Israel wants a monarchy because
1) Samuel is old
2) Samuel’s children did not walk in his way and the children of Israel strongly opposed their leadership
3) They want to be like other nations
Samuel was upset with this plea because he has a [...]

A recurring formula that I see in Judges is the following: Israelites do evil in the sight of the Lord, then the Lord allows their enemy to overtake them, next the Israelites cry to the Lord and finally sends them a judge. Once that judge dies, the cycle begins again. The reason that [...]

One of my big problems was the education system of New Orleans. The quality of the education is not that good especially in post-Katrina New Orleans. According to an article on http://www.urban.org/Publications/900913.html, the state is not able to afford schools for children who returned to the city. The teachers would not likely [...]

In doing my project, I started off taking a passive role. It is weird but I took a role in observation. I took a weekend camping trip with children Friday - Sunday, June 8-11. While I was there, I helped out by helping to set up tents and helping the children to [...]

God’s home, the tabernacle comprised of the following: the courtyard where they offer the actual blood sacrifice. Once you walk in, you enter into the holy place. The holy place houses the seven candlesticks and the showbread. There are curtains which separate the holy place from the most holy place. After [...]

Hello everyone,
I want to thank those who responded to my comments. I am also sorry that I did not put details of my project in that blog. (Because a couple of my comments told me to do something bigger but I did not post the “big” part in that blog but in my [...]

“Odysseus’s Scar” was written in a flashback approach. It goes back and forth explaining certain subjects of the story. “Deception for Deception” tells the story in order as it goes along. For example, it goes in order while explaining how deception has seeped from generation to generation. Everything that is said [...]
