Sitting in Hebrew class…

So, we are preparing for our final, and I can’t seem to stay focused.  I feel like at this point in the semester, if I don’t have this stuff, I’m probably not going to get it.

I’m excited for this weekend.  I’m going to a Rangers game on Saturday, and generally preparing to shoot my short film on Monday.  This has been stressful.  I’ve finished the script, and am now finding my actors.  More to come on this when I’m done.  I’ll hopefully post that here.

Also, I get to meet with the chaplain for the Dallas Cowboys this week on Thursday.  Cross your fingers that I’ll be able to mentor with him in the fall.

That’s all for now peeps.

Scriptures 1 Research Paper

This paper is done over the issues of having two creation stories.  

 

Varying Accounts of Creation: Contradiction or Reinforcement?

 

            When looking at the beginning of the Bible, a problem is immediately encountered in Genesis 1 and 2.  There are two separate, seemingly contradicting accounts of creation.  The immediate issues arise in a series of questions.  Can both of these stories be factual?  What does the writer intend his audience to learn from these stories?  Does this support or hurt a view of a divine creation?  With these issues in mind, this paper will consult a variety of writings on Genesis and creation with a goal of finding the purpose of this troubling section of the Hebrew Bible.

Evangelism Paper

I had to write this paper for my Discipleship and Evangelism class recently.  Enjoy.

 

Evangelism is a facet of Christianity that is not often treated with the respect and caution that it warrants.  Through relationships with fellow believers, I have learned that many view Evangelism as blindly sharing their faith to whoever is receptive.  In this paper, I will attempt to provide a more complex definition that shows a call to action, but also a word of warning.  First, I will consult a few Theological dictionaries and encyclopedias for an academic definition.  Next, I will consult different resources that address the complexities that come along with these definitions.  Lastly, I will take the research and create my multi-faceted definition.
