Subject: Was Matthew a carpenter? |
Bible Note: life, Maybe you're confusing two prominent figures in the Bible: 1) Jesus Christ who most certainly was a carpenter following in the footsteps of His earthly father and 2) Matthew who was a tax collector as Azure has mentioned already. So once again such a mix-up is easily resolved with just a little Bible study. You really need to spend some more time His Word. Go with God in ALL His Ways and all areas of your life and God will bless you. Bill |
