Brother Tim, Well it looks like it is time for me to offer another gracious apology. (o: Forgive me, everyone, please. But there is no way that I am able to cite the source, (sources in this case) because what my post actually consisted of was a mosaic of information from many different sites, arranged, redacted and edited by me. I worked hard on the post, pasting, cross-checking and deleting information, trying to answer the query at hand as succinctly as possible. I regret my actions but if you can sense my heart, I am quite contrite for my shortcoming and will promise to be diligent when I glean info from various sources to include footnotes in the future. in absense of pretention, keliy |

Thank You, John Your gratitude is gratefully appreciated I am on a "forced vacation" right now, nothing bad -just seasonal, so I have a lot of extra time on my hands.

288 | whatdoes these verses teach on lukewarmn | Rev 3:16 | keliy | 211442 | ||
Hello wal, Your question stumps me, because the only verse that contains lukewarm in the KJV is Rev 3:16, above. Col 3:5-10 speaks to me about renewal. This is where we should not be lukewarm. Blessings, keliy |

Hello Nevvvvine, Please forgive my intrusion, but as a manner of clarification, Paul was a disciple during the time Luke was with him. Paul may not have begun as a disciple, but certainly became one, and was called to be an Apostle. Luke, who was a disciple, was never called of God to be an Apostle Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary gives the following, in part, for the definition of disciple. 1: one who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrines of another: as a: one of the twelve in the inner circle of Christ's followers according to the Gospel accounts b: a convinced adherent of a school or individual (fn1) The word "disciple" refers to a "follower." The word "apostle" refers to "one who is sent out." While Jesus was on earth, the twelve were called disciples. These disciples followed Jesus Christ, and were taught by Him. Following Jesus' resurrection, He sent His disciples out (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8) to be His witnesses. Blessings, keliy |

You are very welcome. I learn a lot of information during research for my posts, so it goes both ways -thank you for your question. An instuctor at the Bible Institute that I attend says that there is a few dangers involved with the study of Scripture. One of them is: "Knowledge puffeth up" (1Cor 8:1) -But Love builds up (edifies), so we must always remember to keep our perspective, especially in the presence of non-believers. God's Blessings to you and yours, keliy |

292 | Did Israel reach out to other nations? | Bible general Archive 4 | keliy | 211425 | ||
Hello, ssjr and welcome. Thank you for your question, I will do my best to answer it quickly, as it is getting late. The Jews, in the days of Israel, weren’t sent out into the whole world as we are commanded to do now in the Great Commission (Matt 28:19-20). People actually came to them, (Jerusalem) from all over the earth to hear of and to learn the glories and wonders of God. The story of the Queen of Sheba is an illustration of how God caused the whole earth to know the story of His grace. You can read it for yourself in 2Chr but here is just a primer, ch 9 verses 5,6 Then she said to the king: "It was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom. "However I did not believe their words until I came and saw with my own eyes; and indeed the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me. Blessings, keliy |

Hi Nic, Maybe your teacher knows the answer, and is just prompting the class for other options? I can only do my best, so my chronology might be a bit off but here goes: Luke was an evangelist and travelling companion of Paul. He was also an excellent historian and a physician, although he might possibly have been born a slave. It was likely Luke's attention to detail that prompted his owners to educate him, as was customary in the day, so the owners could be in possession of their own family physician. Luke, was a Gentile. The date and circumstances of his conversion are unknown. According to his own statement (Luke 1:2), he was not an "eye-witness and minister of the word from the beginning." It is probable that he was a physician in Troas, and was there converted by Paul, to whom he attached himself. Accompanying Paul on visits to Antioch, Caesarea and Jerusalem, it would have been in these cities that Luke also encountered people who could have provided the information he sought for his writings, Such as Mary, the mother of Jesus. In Acts 16:8-9 we hear of Paul's company "So, passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas. During the night Paul had a vision: there stood a man of Macedonia pleading with him and saying, 'Come over to Macedonia and help us.' " Then suddenly in 16:10 "they" becomes "we": "When he had seen the vision, we immediately tried to cross over to Macedonia, being convinced that God had called us to proclaim the good news to them." So Luke joined Paul's company at Troas at about the year 51 and accompanied him into Macedonia where they traveled first to Samothrace, Neapolis, and finally Philippi. Luke then switches back to the third person which seems to indicate he was not thrown into prison with Paul and that when Paul left Philippi Luke stayed behind to encourage the Church there. Seven years passed before Paul returned to the area on his third missionary journey. In Acts 20:5, the switch to "we" tells us that Luke has left Philippi to rejoin Paul in Troas in 58 where they first met up. They traveled together through Miletus, Tyre, Caesarea, to Jerusalem. Although Luke accompanied Paul to Philippi, he did not share his imprisonment there , nor did he accompany him further after his release in his missionary journey at this time (Acts 17:1). On Paul's third visit to Philippi (20:5, 6) we again meet with Luke, who probably had spent all the intervening time in that city, a period of seven or eight years. From this time He again disappears from view during Paul's imprisonment at Jerusalem and Caesarea, and only reappears when Paul sets out for Rome (27: 1), when Luke accompanies him to this destination (28:2, 12-16), and after everyone else deserts Paul in his final imprisonment and sufferings, it is Luke who remains with Paul to the end: "Only Luke is with me" (2 Timothy 4:11). While Paul was detained in Caesarea for two years, Luke was likely beginning to put together a history of Christianity. He had been taking notes during his journeys and wrote in flawless Greek. During Paul's first imprisonment at Rome, which extended over several years, Luke completed his two volume history. Luke accompanied Paul on the second missionary journey, and was Paul's constant companion during his journey to Jerusalem (20:6-21:18). This is where Luke remains, with Paul, until the close of his first imprisonment (Philemon 24; Col. 4:14). May you be blessed in your studies, keliy |

Hi glad2bcp, welcome to the forum. Your question has been 'up' for about 4 hours, so, although I am by no means an expert, I will do my best to answer before it gets too late. Then, the floor will be open for others more knowledgable than I. There is much speculation about the authorship of Job, the date, and even where Uz was. Some say that Job was a contemporary of Abraham, because the economy was that based on livestock, and Job lived to be more than 140 yrs old, a typical lifespan of the patriarchal period. And I have also heard that Job is the oldest Book in the Bible, which would place it around 1500 BC at the earliest. The events that took place are not necessarily contemporaneous with the writing og the Book. But, The details of the conversations between Job and his friends suggest that it would have been written in a not-too-distant future. Nevertheless, everything I have learned tells me that it must have been written after the flood. Otherwise, Noah would have had to carry the Book of Job onto the ark with him, right? Since there is no mention of Israel, my suggestion would be, that it is likely pre-mosaic, but not pre-flood Blessings to you, keliy |

Just as an added thought, we all may be put under pressure at times, this happened even before Christ. But, if the heart is attentive to the revelation of the Holy Spirit within our human spirit, then our defenses are more able to remain secure against whatever the enemy places into our path. As Isaiah says, “Thou dost keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusts in thee,” (Isa 26:3 RSV). Continued blessings, keliy |

Lord Bless you, ovadyah. Remember that followers of Christ will necessarily endure hardships due to perecution from others. This should be considered a blessing, for if you are never being persecuted, you may not be following Him close enough. You are fine, ovadyah. I know some Christ-centered Jews, I have some relatives native to Alabama, and also many dear relatives that are disciples of the pope. As Jesus taught, "Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also." Jhn 15:20 Continued blessings to you, keliy |
