Apostle Paul Research Paper
We spent a lot of time during this class reviewing the apostle Paul and God’s calling upon his life. This man started out by believing that the earth should be rid of Christianity and its followers (Bible.org., 2017). In fact, many did not look forward to Paul’s visits and were scared of what would happen when he arrived. I would say that the life this man was living before being saved led most to believe that God could not use him. However, we find throughout the Gospels that this was not the case at all. God can use anyone, anytime and it does not matter what has happened in their past. I believe that this is a very comforting part of Paul's story and has made a significant impact in my life.

    During the time of Samuel, Judges ruled the people in Israel. The Israelites said to Samuel, “ You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have.” (APA, NIV, 1 Samuel 8:5) They desire a king because they thought the other nations having a man, as a leader will help them win their fight battles. Having a king would allow them to be lazy, and have someone else make all the calls and take on the burden of responsibilities they would have to deal with. The Israelites did not trust God’s judgment after the countless times he has provided for them. They wanted to be just like the other nations not knowing what God had in store for them. God being a favorable God give them what they wanted.…

    Four gunshots reverberated throughout the crowded streets of Saint Peter’s Square, May 13, 1981. A shocked man looked down at his blood-stained once white robe. He was rushed to the Hospital while his would-be assassin, Mehmet Ali Agca was detained until arrested. Within four days of being shot, Karol Wojtyla, more commonly known as Saint Pope John Paul the Great forgave the man from his hospital bed and later went and visited Agca and personally forgave the man that shot him. Millions of people were shocked by the Holy Father’s choice to visit the man that wished him dead, but in doing so, the Pope wordlessly showed his followers what it means to love and forgive others. At the time Pope John Paul II was the spiritual leader of almost 60 million Roman Catholics. He had already acquired a reputation as being a charismatic leader. People came from all over the world to be inspired by his message--that of sacrificial…

    As a work of theological literature, Thomas Jefferson’s The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, or otherwise popularly known as the Jefferson Bible, has historically either been considered a philosophical masterpiece or shrugged off as irreverent blasphemy. From a fundamentalist point-of-view, Jefferson had desecrated the world’s most glorified and holy text, butchering doctrines by which countless people live with his illicit cutting-and-pasting. On the other hand, thinkers from the Enlightenment camp saw Jefferson’s aggressive interpretation of the New Testament as a necessary adaptation to modernity, a much-needed reconciliation of an outdated text with a changing…

    Although not very important, I took the liberty this past month(Black History) to document my research to the age old question, "Was Jesus Black," after a small debate with my auntie Angelina Quarterman arguing that He was a Jew, and Jews are White(lol). The typical Hollywood image in which ancient Israelites look like fair-haired White Americans is way off the mark. The people of the bible were Semitic(Afro-Asiatic languages) and would have been dark- skinned. The racial emnity & equating Black with evil was an unfortunate development in later Europe, devised in part to justify African slavery.…

    St. Paul was a prominent missionary leader who had a profound impact upon the early Christian movement as a whole. St. Paul had without a doubt androcentric views, but was not a misogynist. In the New Testament a substantial part of the biblical passages used are from the corpus paulinum (NABRE). Many passages are highly demeaning towards women, but if you take a closer look, you’ll see that St. Paul shows nothing but a profound gratitude for women. My essay aims to show not only St. Paul’s appreciation for women, but also his encouraging of their contribution in the church and showing them as equals before the eyes of God. St. Paul had a rather astonishing attitude for his time by presenting an all-inclusive attitude towards…

    St. Vincent was born into a poor family in Gascony, France. He was ordained as a priest in 1600. Unfortunately, in 1605, he set out on a voyage from Marseilles to Narbonne and on his journey he was captured by African pirates. Vincent was taken to Tunis where he would become a slave. He was held captive for close to two years when God’s actual grace allowed him to make his escape from captivity. After he escaped, he made his way through Rome and eventually returned to France where he began preaching and laying the foundations of a congregation.
