Thyatira - There have been a couple of differences of opinion about when the Thyatira era began and ended. Thyatira - Herman Hoeh (Hoeh, H. A True History of the True Church, 1959 ed.) and Ivor Fletcher (Fletcher, Ivor C. The Incredible History of God's True Church, 1984 ed.) both wrote that it began about 1000 A.D. However, the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) later changed to the belief that it began a little later, closer to the beginning of the twelfth century, with the Pergamos era transitioning out in the eleventh century. WCG also changed its view that the "last work" of Thyatira was around 1238 AD to around 1600. In Dr. Hoeh's book, he has Thyatira ending in the mid-thirteenth century, and remaining in hiding, until the Church re-emerges as Sardis beginning in the mid-seventeenth century. WCG's later correspondence course suggests that the work of the Thyatira era ended in the late sixteenth/early seventeenth century; which is the same position that the Living Church of God's (LCG) John Ogwyn took in his booklet. Sardis - I googled this to death too, nothing on the history of this church. Now that I have researched this for you I am going to have to buy a New Book somewheres on the history of the seven churches past the first century, thank you for giving me a new area of study to kill myself with. I appreciate it:):):) Philadelphia - I also googled this church extensively to no avail. Laodicea - I also googled this church to no avail. There has been a ton of allegorical and symbolic interpretation about the 7 churches, which is outside of a literal intrepretation of the Bible; 1)The message to the 7 churches represents 7 types of churches that present themselves through out all of the centuries as church types, and Jesus was giving good and bad examples as a warning to all churches from the 1st century on into the future. 2)The message to the 7 churches represents 7 church ages from the first century through the present, and Jesus was giving a picture of what the 7 church ages would look like and be characterized by. 3)The message to the 7 churches represents 7 types of Christians who are in the church body, and Jesus was giving good and bad examples of being a member in the churches. 4)The message to the 7 churches represents 7 types of churches in the first century, and Jesus was giving good and bad examples to all the churches in every where in the 1st century of how to run a church. There is only one literal intrepretation of the 7 churches in the Bible; 1)Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things written in it; for the time is near, Jesus was giving His assessment of the character and actions of the 7 specific churches, which He choose according to His own counsel to give the 7 churches instructions in order to encourage them and to prepare them for persecution and to bring them back into the will of God wherever they had strayed. The application comes from Revelation 1:3; heed the message for the time is near - the time for the devil to mess around and the time for persecution is always now - we can give this literal interpretation; we should pay attention to the various admonitions Jesus gives the churches and be on the alert against the schemes of the devil and persecution from the enemies of Christ, and we can be cleanse our chruches of any defilement or wrong doing and go back to our first love of Christ.

According to the New Testament, Ephesus became an important center for early Christianity from the 50s AD. Paul used it as a base and spent there more than two years on his third missionary journey (Acts 19:8, 19:10, 20:31). He became embroiled in a dispute with artisans, whose livelihood depended on selling the statuettes of Artemis in the Temple of Artemis (Acts 19:23–41). He wrote between 53 and 57 A.D. the letter 1 Corinthians from Ephesus (possibly from the "Paul tower" close to the harbour, where he was imprisoned for a short time). Later Paul wrote to the Christian community at Ephesus, according to tradition, while he was in prison in Rome (around 62 A.D.) The Apostle John lived in Asia Minor (Anatolia) in the last decades of the first century and from Ephesus had guided the Churches of that province. After Domitian's death the Apostle returned to Ephesus during the reign of Trajan, and at Ephesus he died about 100 AD at a great age. Ephesus was one of the seven cities addressed in Revelation (2:1–7), indicating that the church at Ephesus was still strong. Two decades later, the church at Ephesus there was still important enough to be addressed by a letter written by Bishop Ignatius of Antioch to the Ephesians in the early 2nd century AD, that begins with, "Ignatius, who is also called Theophorus, to the Church which is at Ephesus, in Asia, deservedly most happy, being blessed in the greatness and fullness of God the Father, and predestinated before the beginning of time, that it should be always for an enduring and unchangeable glory" (Letter to the Ephesians). The church at Ephesus had given their support for Ignatius, who was taken to Rome for execution. Smyrna...Christianity was preached to the inhabitants at an early date. As early as the year 93, there existed a Christian community directed by a bishop for whom St. John in the Apocalypse (i, II; ii, 8-11) has only words of praise…There were other Christians in the vicinity of the city and dependent on it to whom St. Polycarp wrote letters (Eusebius, "Hist. Eccl.", V, xxiv). When Polycarp was martyred…the Church of Smyrna sent an encyclical concerning his death to the Church of Philomelium and others (Vailhe’ S. Transcribed by Lucia Tobin. Smyrna. The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume XIV. Copyright c 1912 by Robert Appleton Company. Online Edition Copyright c 2003 by Kevin Knight. Nihil Obstat, July 1, 1912. Remy Lafort, S.T.D., Censor. Imprimatur. John Cardinal Farley, Archbishop of New York). Pergamum - I googled the church of Pergamum to death and found very little about the history of this church. Pergamum, also known as Pergamos, had a colorful history as a major city of Asia Minor. It was steeped in pagan idolatry, serpent worship, and Caesar worship. See Satan's Throne at Pergamum for a description of the influence of ancient Babylonian mysteries on the city. Pergamum means "thoroughly married." It represents the period of church history when the church became married to the world. Constantine, the Emperor of the Roman Empire probably meant well when he issued a decree that all his subjects should become Christians, but it actually did much damage to the church. The majority of people became Christian in name only, bringing their pagan practices and lifestyles into a compromised church. This merger of the church and state took place with the Edict of Milan in AD 313. This period lasted until about AD 500. During this time the Bishop of Rome assumed the title, Pontifex Maximus. |

Dear Egosophist, Welcome to the forum! OK you have finished your masters and are going on to your Phd. So what you will be looking for are exegetical commentaries, assuming your masters was in a religious area that is, and that you are moving on to a Phd. in a religious area... If you are moving from a masters in a non religious area to a Phd. in a non religious area you would be starting off with a study oriented commentary (don't get a devotional commentary you will be sorely disappointed). There are all kinds of series out there, but you have to know which type of commentary would suit your needs. For a good study oriented commentary there are a whole lot of series and authors and many series have books by differing authors in their series; New Testament Commentary 12 volumes, by William Hendrickson and Simon J. Kesetmaker - from the Reformed position. Keil and Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament 10 volumes. The Boice Expositional Commentaries on CD ROM. John MacArthur's Bible Commentary Series For The New Testament a whole lot of volumes, several for some books of the NT. Great Author's Works Martin Luther's Works on CD ROM. The John Calvin Collection. The Arthur Pink Collection. The John Owen Collection. The Jonathan Edwards Timothy Dwight Collection. The Charles Spurgeon Collection. The John Piper Collection. The Some of the Great Church Fathers - this is a short list of an exhaustive list; The Works of Augustine. The Works of Polycarp. The Works of Justin Martyr. The Works of Tertullian. The Works of Iraneaus. The Works of Thomas Aquinas. A good exegetical commentary is hard to find unless you already know your authors, this becomes a major drawback. Here are some very well known exegetical commentary authors, they have not all written a complete commentary series but some of them have covered almost all the Bible; The Works of Godet. The Works of Spinoza. The Works of Lenski. The Works of Lightfoot. The Works of F.F.Bruce. Exegetical Commentary Series - these types of series are hard to find but there are a whole lot more than these. New International Critical Series - a very good series. Anchor Bible Series - a good series. Blacks Exegetical Commentary Series - some authors are better than others. The Bakes Exegetical Commentary Series - some series are better than this one. I am just a student at a little non accreditated Bible School, but the professor's there have been a treasure trove of information about good study sources. I went looking for you through two years worth of scattered notes to find this stuff, but if you are really serious, which it seems you are, and if you have the money, it is all worth investing in. Don't ever sell your religious text books to get back the money, once you invest in them, they will stand you by for a life time. eamil me at whatdoyoubelieve.com for a page worth of online bible study tools if you are really going to study for a whole year in preparation, if you don't have these tools already, they will be invaluable. I hope this helped, God Bless, Tamara |

235 | A fanatic, a zealot or a prophet? | Titus 1:1 | Tamara Brewington | 204819 | ||
Dear Shel Dee, Val is absolutely right. Is what she is saying lining up with the Bible? Did what she say before that seemed fanatical line up with the Bible? Another question, was what she said before a prophecy to edify the church, or an individual, or was it about herself? These are important questions to be answering, based on the answer she may or may not have pure motives. Another question, did whatever she said before come true in some way? Was what she said about something from the Bible to be followed or was it about something that was supposed to be hapening soon? The reaon I am asking all these questions is because one of the ministers on our pulpit does hear correctly form God. But what she receieves in always about the body of Christ in general or about the church specifically, or rarely about a person. What is important about that is that what she says always comes true and does not fail, and this has been going on with her, for her to edify for 30 years of being a believe. In other words she has been tested and not been found to be wanting. Deuteronomy gives the tests; 13:1-15, 18:20-22, and I Corinthians gives the qualifications for order; I Corinthians 14:3,24-26,29-33 Be careful there are many who believe they are hearing from God who have not proven to be true. She should be warned that if she prophesies falsely and it does not come to pass,then she has made herself a false prophet and spoken by the power of Satan. Such a sin is forgivable by Jesus as it is not a sin leading to death, not the unforgiveable sin, but causes her to lose her rewards in heaven and for her works burnt up. Warn her with this; I Corinthians 3:12 Now if any man builds upon a foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw. Each man's work will be evident; for the day will show it, because it is to be revealed with fire, itself will test the quality of each man's work. And warn her with Deuteronomy 18:20-22. God Bless and welcome to the forum, Tamara Ther |

Reminder, I am not in college at all, just a Bible school. and yes I went checking although I didn't say that for each question and didn't find an answer so I posted the questions. These are not class questions per say, some of them did not stem from hearing things I did not agree or disagree with in class, but came from looking at some passages. But some of them did come from taking class and being left wondering more about the subject, or just plain frustrated with what I have been taught. But I never, ask something because I need an answer for class and look for the answer here. I often ask forum members what they think about a take on a subject that I already have researched and don't agree with what a professor taught, but not to be able to take that to go pass a class. These are professors who decided to devote their time to a Bible School for lay people. Does it really matter what my motive is in asking a question other than a real desire to study everything about the Bible? As long as I am not tryint to get a grade by doing it what is the harm to anyone? God bless Tamara |

240 | Jewish Holy Days | Romans | Tamara Brewington | 204798 | ||
Dear Lookinforacity, This was a real issue during the first century, I like this question Lookin.... I forgot to add God Bless you Tamara to the last post you just got, sorry.... Paul says this in Romans in answer to Christians in a mixed congregation of Jews and Gentiles who were facing this problem; Ramans 14:5-6,10-12 Apparently there were some who were celebrating the Sabbath and some who were celebrating on Sunday. In Acts we have a couple of instances where the disciples were meeting on Sundays to celebrate the rising of the Lord from the dead. However, it does not say that they did not also observe the Sabbath on Saturday. The early church saints were at first all Jewish and required that a non Jew become a Proselyte, take the vow, undergo circumsision, become a Jew first, before being allowed to be of the 'way'. We have accounts in Acts of the disciples going to the temple to worship and to preach and to teach in the synagogues and at the temple, that was where the disciples first were meeting, then came the church houses. They were all observing every Jewish holidays, they considered themselves Jews. As the church grew and became more Gentile Paul makes a point again and again for there not being a need to compel them to observe Jewish traditions, but the Jews in those congregations still did, hence the problems. The concern becomes now as it was then that whether or not Gentiles should be beholden to the traditions of Jewish worship in any form. Not now because of a perceived need to be legalistic, or the Law, but because our roots are all in Jesus and what He did and not in the Law and the Prophets to observe the ordinances created unto perpetuity for them. All these things you are considering are the ordinances for worship that stemmed from the Law and the Prophets and are representative of the covenants they were under. We are under a new covenant and have no need to be doing things that stemmed from an old convenant that never applied to us. We identify with the Jews in that we worship the God of the Jews and out of love for them revere them as being our true patriarchs. When you think about the significance of their Holy Days carefully I think you may see that they relate directly the covenants given to them. I do not think they would actually appreciate Christians observing their holy days along with our Christian days since they view us as worshipping a sorcerer and a blasphemer. I am not too sure they would see it as love, hypocrisy maybe, but not love. The reason we observe our holidays is because we worship Christ as the new covenant. We become one man with Jews when they become Christians. The OT saints are part of the same household we are in, but those who reject Christ are not true Jews in their hearts as Paul said in Romans 2. We demonstrate the Love we are told to have for the Jews by being a living witness to them of the forgiveness of the savior they reject and rejected. God Bless Tamara |
