1 | Any extra biblical support? | James 1:1 | Robbert | 193285 | ||
I agree with your answer but can any early Christian (extra biblical)or secular documents support the view you gave? I ask this because I know of a midacts dispensational view of scripture that states that 1 Peter was written only to Jews during the tribulation. They cite Acts 11:19 as evidence that the disciples preached to Jews only during the dispersion. Thus, Peter could only be preaching to Jews even though he mentions the blood of Christ and His resurrection. They claim that these tribulation Jews will receive salvation only after Christ's second return. Is there any truth to what these "midacts" dispensational people claim? If there is any extra biblical evidence for Peter preaching to Christians then it could be shown that these midacts dispensational people are wrong in this case. | ||||||
2 | Any extra biblical support? | James 1:1 | srbaegon | 193286 | ||
Hello Robbert, After a short search I found this. Jerome in his "Lives of Illustrious Men" says: Simon Peter the son of John, from the village of Bethsaida in the province of Galilee, brother of Andrew the apostle, and himself chief of the apostles, after having been bishop of the church of Antioch and having preached to the Dispersion--the believers in Circumcision in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia--pushed on to Rome in the second year of Claudius . . . So Jerome obviously believed that Peter's epistle was to believers. Steve |

Thanks, that helps. Can anyone provide any further extra biblical evidence that Peter was addressing Jewish Christians or Christians in 1 Peter? | ||||||
4 | Is there more evidence? | James 1:1 | Searcher56 | 193301 | ||
God's day to you, Robbert, Why ask for more support? Biblical support should be goos enough ... any extra biblical is a bonus. S PS Yiu switched from James to 1 Peter, You should have started a new thread. |
