Acts 5:34-39 - Then one in the council stood up, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in respect by all the people, and commanded them to put the apostles outside for a little while. And he said to them:
"Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do regarding these men. For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody. A number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was slain, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing. After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census, and drew away many people after him. He also perished, and all who obeyed him were dispersed.
And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing; but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it - lest you even be found to fight against God."
[NKJV]
BasicInstructionsBeforeLeavingEarthAlthough the person who wrote the above thought that was funny, it is no joking matter. I do not know what Bible means. I do know that it contains God's instructions, promises, accomplishments, stories, and gifts. It is a sacred holy book that was written by men who were inspired by God. It tells us how you truly get to heaven. The only way is through Jesus Christ, not through good works. This may not be the answer you were looking for, but open a Bible, read it and find out for yourself.Answer:The word Bible means "books" or "collection of books".
Okay first, I'm not a preacher and I have no credentials on the subject but, This is how I perceive the gospel. It is an amazing history of mankind and offers great guidance for how we live our lives. But, the gospel as we know it Gideaon or King James versions are a result of the council of Nicea formed by the roman emperor Constantine when he made Christianity the official religion of Italy. The council determined what gospels would and would not be included in the christian bible. In other words they left some out. Over the years other gospels have been discovered and are hotly debated by the so called scholars. So...for me the bible is an amazing document and I try to live by it's teachings but, I think men over time have tried to use it, and still do, for their own means. Just for fun, read Genesis and find that God created woman twice. once from the dust as with Adam and once from Adam's rib. There is a gospel that says the first woman was actually named Lillith and that she was in league with the devil.AnswerTo personalize it, I'm not a preacher either, but I perceive the Gospel as the very Word of God. Joh 20:30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:Joh 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
A:Mark's Gospel, the first account to be written, simply says (Mark 15:27-28) that Jesus was crucified between two thieves, one on his left hand and one on his right hand, so that the scripture be fulfilled as Jesus was numbered among the transgressors.Luke's Gospel says that one of the malefactors mocked Jesus, while the other repented, saying to Jesus, "Lord remember me in paradise," to which Jesus said unto him, "Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise."Matthew's Gospel says both thieves mocked Jesus - (Matthew 27:44): "They cast the same in his teeth." There is no suggestion that Jesus spoke to either of them, and no likelihood that Jesus would have promised he would be in paradise. Luke's is the theologically most important account and thus the account most Christians prefer.
Oh, what a lovely question! The Collingsworth family is known for their beautiful music and strong Christian faith. They often share their love for God through their songs and performances, spreading joy and positivity wherever they go. It's truly inspiring to see how their beliefs shine through in everything they do.
Some Biblical scholars doubt the authorship of John because they either are not aware of, or take sufficient notice of, the various controls put in place by the early church. They also may not realize that, if John was truly anonymous there would be a range of different authors proposed by those who would have been in a position to speculate. They may also not be aware of the lack of acceptance which would have been given to such a work had it been truly anonymous. There is also confusion by some between two John's referred to in the early second century church. These are clearly two different peopleAlso in the second century we have a record of a church official being dismissed for passing his otherwise orthodox work off as the work of an apostle. So, not only apostolic authority, and apostolic teaching (which this work certainly had) but plain honesty mattered to the early Christians.The word attached to John (and all the other gospels as well), the Greek word kata means 'according to.' This attribution was not done lightly and meant that those who did so were sure of who wrote the Gospel, even if we do not have access today to the information they had, as being obviously much further away from the event of the writing of John.It is possible that the relevant Bible scholars are not aware of a number of these factors, or else take little notice of there importance. Many Bible scholars also accept John as genuine
