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 lost letter of Paul is mentioned in the letter to the Colossians?
Colossians 4:16 refers to an epistle written by Paul from Laodicea, which he asks them to read in the church. However, this is almost certainly not a lost letter. Nearly all biblical scholars regard Colossians as a pseudo-Pauline epistle written in the 80s of the first century, long after Paul had died. It was common practice to write in the name of Paul and various others of the early apostles, because this would lend weight to the message being circulated. The letter was not really written to the Colossians, but was an encyclical intended by its anonymous author to be read at every church. Verse 4:16 gives this away, by suggesting that Colossians be read at Laodicea and the supposed letter from Laodicea be read at their church - in other words, 'my' letters are useful for everyone so please circulate them. For this purpose, it would not matter whether there was a letter from Laodicea or not.

Colossians chapter 1.15 20 give an explanation?
Paul's letters to the Colossians and Ephesians are closely related epistles that most modern scholars say are not authentic. Among the early Christians, neither Irenaeus nor Eusebius regarded Colossians as authentic. So any analysis of the text must take into account the development of the Christian Church in the second half of the second century, when Colossians is believed to have been written. Colossians was concerned with Church structure and discipline. Colossians 1:15-20 emphasises that God created the world and is the head of the Church of which "I Paul" (1:23,25) am a minister.
Who founded the church at colossae?
Paul did not start the church in Colossae. According to his epistle to the Colossians (chapter 1, verse 7) Paul states that the Colossians learned about Christ through Epaphras, "fellow slave" of Christ.
Who are the key people in Colossians?
The key people mentioned in the book of Colossians are the apostle Paul, Timothy, Onesimus, and the believers in Colossae to whom the letter is addressed.
