A:

2 Timothy 4:11: "Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry."

Almost all scholars are in agreement that the Second Epistle to Timothy is a pseudepigraphical letter written during the second century and merely using Paul's name to gain acceptance of the epistle's message. A typical method that ancient forgers used to satisfy readers that a writing was genuine, was to include personal details, in this case including the mention of Mark. As with any pseudepigraphical work, we can not assume that the intended audience really was the person to whom the letter appears to be written, and in this case the letter was really written to all Christians to introduce new doctrines about the roles of bishops and similar matters.

Who were the writers of the New Testament?

St. PaulAnswerMost of the letters in the New Testament are pseudepigraphical, meaning that they were written in the names of priminent Christians, but be some other, anonymous authors. We do know that the apostle Paul wrote five, and possibly seven of the thirteen epistles generally attributed to him. The epistles generally regarded as having been written by Paul are: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, 1 Thessalonians and Philippians. Based on a computer analysis of the epistles attributed to Paul, A.Q. Morton believes that Philippians and 1 Thessalonians are not genuine.The epistles attributed to Paul but which most scholars regard as being pseudonymous are: 2 Thessalonians, Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus.We do not know who wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews. It was at one stage attributed to Paul, but this is clearly not his writing. The ending of the epistle was probably added much later, to enforce the appearance of the epistle being from Paul.The epistles attributed to James, John, Jude and Peter are all regarded as pseudepigraphical and, in most cases, written during the second century.


How many letters did Paul write to the Thessalonians?

If correctly understanding the question, Paul's conversion was instaneous, as was mine and yours if you know Christ as Savior. Paul as you probably know was a great persecutor of the church and even then was on a journey to persecute furtner. But something peculiar had happened to Paul a short time earlier. Though Paul was a very well educated man, devote in his belief, a well recognized man among the chief sect of the pharisees, yet when he stood as witness to Stephen's death, Paul also heard The message Stephen preached, for which he was stoned as given in Acts Ch. 7 and 8. As the scripture teaches, the gospel is the power of God unto salvation to all that believes. It takes the preached Gospel to prick our heart, our concious as to our lost condition. Stephen's last message did just that to Paul, then called Saul. Paul's burden on the road to Damacus was no doubt heavy. Do Doubt Stephen's words rang over and over in his heart for the Lord ask Saul/Paul for in Acts 9:5 "is it hard for thee to kick against the pricks".. Notice Paul's immediate acceptance of the Jesus Stephen had preached to him when he answered "what would you have me to do Lord. You see the moment one accepts Christ as Christ God accepts us through His Son.
