A:
I am not sure how many is "many," but some respected scholars have noted parallels between Paul's writings, especially 1 Corinthians and Romans, and Mark's Gospel. The reason for believing that Paul could have been Mark's source is that when these parallel sayings are found, Paul does not attribute them to Jesus but writes them as his own sayings. Had he attributed some of these sayings to Jesus, we could say that Paul and 'Mark' relied on a common source that reported the things Jesus actually said.
Paul's epistles were far from the only source Mark uses for the sayings of Jesus. For example, the last words of Jesus on the cross (Mark 15:34) were from Psalm 22:1.
We do not really know how many epistles Paul wrote, so we can only say that those we know about got into the Bible. Some scholars say the 2 Corinthians appears to have originally been three separate letters that have been placed together as one for study purposes.Many scholars believe that not all the epistles attributed to Paul were actually written by Paul. The Pastorals are almost unanimously regarded by critical scholars as not written by Paul - 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus. The majority of critical scholars also say that Ephesians, Colossians and 2 Thessalonians were not written by Paul. Many liberal Christian scholars now accept only Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians as genuine. A.Q. Morton has even cast some doubt on 1 Thessalonians and Philippians, because a computer analysis shows that they do not share the same dictation or writing style as the others.
Paul is identified clearly as the author in verse 1.
Many biblical scholars believe that the first missionary journey of Paul of Tarsus was to Cyprus. There is not 100% agreement with this however.
----------------------- There is universal agreement among scholars that both Paul's epistles to the Corinthians are genuine. Paul wrote them.
The general consensus of scholars is that 1 Thessalonianswas the first New Testament epistle written by Paul. However, it is not universally agreed that Paul actually wrote 1 Thessalonians. If this is not really an epistle of Paul, then Galatians is thought to have been the first New Testament epistle written by Paul.
Speech marks are used to indicate when someone is speaking. Place speech marks at the beginning and end of the spoken words. Make sure to include punctuation within the speech marks. For example: "Hello, how are you?" said Sarah.
Christopher Paul Curtis made funny writing
----------------------- The two books known as 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy are regarded by scholars as having been written in the second century, more than fifty years after the death of the apostle Paul. The unknown author sought to follow the writing style of Paul, but his epistles give us no insight into the character of Paul.
We do not really know whether Paul was killed or died of natural causes.Clement of Rome, writing around 100 CE, implied that he was executed, but this passage is unclear and too late to have been based on first-hand or even second-hand knowledge. Eusebius, writing four hundred years later, said that Paul was beheaded, but provides no source on which he based this information.
Timothy.
The first one he wrote was The Bully.
There is no definitive evidence that St. Paul was married. Some scholars believe he may have been a widower, but this is not universally accepted.
