Are there evidences outside the Bible that Luke was a historical person?
Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles were written anonymously and only attributed to Luke, the companion of the apostle Paul, later in the second century. Luke is mentioned as the companion of the apostle Paul in Philemon, Colossians and 2 Timothy. But biblical scholars are said to be almost unanimous in saying that Colossians and 2 Timothy were not written by Paul, but were written by an anonymous author long after the death of Paul. There is the one credible reference to Luke in Paul's Epistle to Philemon, but there is no extra-biblical evidence for his existence.

What is the meaning of 'Apostle'?
First, there is a difference between "apostle" and "disciple". Disciple means one who followed after and was taught by whomever they were following. The disciples of "Christ" were followers of and taught by Jesus Christ himself. While "apostle" means that they have actually seen the person who they are now teaching others about. There were 12 main disciples whom Jesus selected to be closer to him and learn more from him. These 12 would have also been apostles as they obviously saw him too. Paul (also known as Saul before he converted) is not a disciple, but is only an apostle. This is because he did not follow Jesus and his teaching before Jesus death and resurrection from the dead. However, when Jesus appeared to him on the road to Damascus, Paul was converted and believed all that Jesus said and did. He then went on to teach others about who Jesus was, thus making him an apostle. Additional Answer: The answer is true, however not entirely accurate. Yes, Paul is an apostle not just because he went on to teach about Jesus. He was made an Apostle of Jesus, by the will of Jesus. He made this clear at the beginning of all his letter (Romans, I Cor, II Cor, Ephesians, etc.). He stated, "Paul, made an apostle by the will of Christ Jesus." This was made possible because Jesus chose him as His vessel to reveal to him all things that he needed to know and the things that he must suffer for Christ's sake (Acts 9:15-16). Jesus wanted Paul to present Him to the Gentiles, that they would now be able to recevie God's word and promise of life everlasting (Acts 11:1-18). An apostle by definition is a messenger of God's word and a first hand witness (as the previous answer sets forth, one who saw Christ and witnessed His work). Paul was not an Apostle by definition, because he didn't walk with Christ and witness His works and persecution, but He was an apostle because he was willed by Christ to be such, through revelation. Paul is indeed a discple of Christ (an imitator of Jesus as the term means). Paul is a disciple because he subscribes to and has faith in the teachings of Christ. Anyone that learns from another directly or through the trickle down effect, is a disciple of the teacher. Paul was given revelation of the gospel by Christ, therefore he became a disciple of Christ (Gal 1:11-12); he was then charge to preach the word (Acts 9:15). He's an Apostle by both definitions: a messenger and an eye witness (through Christ revealing it to him not because he walked with Christ). So Paul is both an Apostle and disciple. However, people today can only be disciples through study and learning and following the Christ teachings, but no one can claim apostleship, as in the sense of eyewitness. Understand that we are all given apostleship by Christ, to be messengers of His word, as told by Paul to the Romans (Rom 1:1-5), but by the second definition of apostle we cannot attain. In Romans 1:1-5, Paul used the word "apostle" in two ways, by its two meanings. In verse 1, called to be a witness as well as a messenger, and in verse 5 merely messengers. Another View: Peter's definition of an apostle clearly precludes the possibility that Paul could have ever served as one, since he did not witness Christ's earthly ministry "beginning from John's baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us." (Acts 1:22). Neither was there an opening within the group of twelve for Paul, since Matthias had filled Judas' position long before Paul's reported conversion. "Lord, . . . [s]how us which of these two you have chosen to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs." Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles." (Acts 1:24). Therefore, the apostolic authority asserted by Paul throughout his ministry lacks credibility, since his claims deny God's choice of Matthias as witness to Christ's resurrection. Additional Comment: An Apostle means 'one sent forth' with the Gospel of Christ message of the Kingdom of God. They supervised and proclaimed that message to the world by means and persons other than themselves - think of Timothy sent by Paul as an example. Apostle's had supervision over all the local congregations/churches (1 Corinthians 16:1). The Apostle Paul had oversight over the churches of the Gentile world (2 Corinthians 11:28).
Who lost his son in a fall from a balcony?
I don't know of a balcony incident, or who the parents were, but Acts 20:9 tells of an account in Troas, when the Apostle Paul spoke for hours, long into the night. The young man, Eutychus, sitting by a window, went asleep listening to him, and fell three stories to his death. Paul then resurrected him.
What kind of ministry did apostle Paul lead?
Titus 1:1-3:"Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the faith of God's chosen ones and the accurate knowledge of the truth which accords with godly devotion upon the basis of a hope of the everlasting life which God, who cannot lie, promised before times long lasting, whereas in his own due times he made his word manifest in the preaching with which I was entrusted, under command of our Savior, God;
Why did Paul write to Timothy?
The clear majority of scholars do not believe that Paul wrote the letters to Timothy that were written in his name. They say that 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy are clearly second century epistles and were therefore written long after his death. A follower used Paul's name to give the epistles the appearance of authenticity, but they were never sent to Timothy. The purpose was to expound a Christian doctrine from a Pauline perspective, giving the author's views the imprimateur of the apostle Paul.
