What does a timeline of Jesus and St Paul look like?
Paul was born Saul of Tarsus around 10 A.D. and lived to about 67 A.D. He was not one of the twleve disciples, and did not meet Jesus in the flesh. After Jesus' death, Paul was hired by the Roman-controlled Temple establishment to persecute the original followers of Jesus (which did not call themselves "Christians"). On his way to Damascus, he had a vision of Jesus, who said "Paul why do you persecute me?". Paul then became a follower of Jesus (in his own way, preaching a gospel unique to his revelation, and often at variance with that of the Apostles (see Council of Jerusalem). Paul is now known for writing over half of the new testament, and is responsible for the doctrine of Salvation by Grace thru Faith in Jesus.
Why did the pharisees questioned Jesus about the sabbath?
He simply did not disagree with any of God's Commandments. He corrected the wrong interpretations of the day's religious leaders. These followed the letter of the Law and created additional restraints within it so that it became a heavy burden upon the people. Jesus showed the spiritual meaning of the Law, enlarging it to its original intent and obeyed it fully as the Lord of the Sabbath. After all, as all was created via Jesus as John 1: 1-3 clearly states, then it was He who gave the Sabbath rest to mankind in Genesis and fully understood its intended purpose.
How much did a house cost in Jesus' time?

What is the difference between the historical Jesus and the Christ of faith?
Faith of Christ simply means with God all things are possible in His righteousness and Holiness and in truth. And Faith in Christ means a trust you have in Him and set in Him that His power can only be made perfect in your weakness. You are weak and He is the only one who can help you overcome the dark side of you which have been with you since the begining! Don't worry He will help you just as He has helped many others in their weaknesses! He power is made perfect in our weaknesses. Where no one that has ever come into this world could go, He went because of you and I. We were all dead spiritualy thinking God was refering to the physical death whereas there was nothing like physical death then and then in the past we were all afraid to die physically in order to repent through it but Jesus came and had His faith that with God all things are possible and it was indeed possible. It was all finished and now our Salvation can only be achieved by having faith in Him and we don't truly need to die physically again in order to repent but to all things of this world and regain ourselves (Transformation). You may only die for the sake of the Gospel. Thanks
If Jesus loves everyone does Jesus love Hitler?
At the start of the war, the Catholic Church did support Hitler. As they opposed Communism because it advocated athiesm, they supported the right wing radical party. Hitler also signed a Concordant with the Catholic Church saying that their rights would be respected and that he would not interfere, as long as the Catholic Church did not speak out politically. A few years later he begun to attack the Catholic Church, and obviously they did not support him then.
What were the Jewish lands at the time of Jesus?
The Roman province of Judea incorporated the ancient Jewish homeland of Judah, as well as what had been Idumea, and the largely pagan coastal cities that replaced the Philistine lands of the Old Testament. The area surrounding Jerusalem was undoubtedly predominantly Jewish and the Idumeans had been forcibly converted to Judaism over a century earlier. In addition, archaeologists think the coastal villages and rural areas were predominantly, but not exclusively Jewish, but the cities were predominantly pagan. Thus, Judea was a largely Jewish land, although with a pagan coastal fringe.
The Roman province of Galilee comprised the region to the west and south of the Sea of Galilee, but did not include the coastal plains, which were administered direct from Syria, possibly because of their exclusively pagan nature. As with the Idumeans, Galileans had been forcibly converted to Judaism in the Maccabean period, but most scholars believe the main cities were probably largely pagan. Much of the urban population was probably immigrant, but some could have been native Galileans who reverted to their former religion after the Jews lost control of the region. The Roman-Jewish wars would later lead to major influxes of Jews, clearly making Galilee a Jewish homeland, but even at the time of Jesus Jews were probably a majority in the population.
Between Judea and Galilee was the province of Samaria - corresponding approximately to the former kingdom of Israel. In the first century, the Samarians (or Samaritans) followed an archaic form of Judaism, likely to have been introduced by King Josiah in the seventh century BCE, but possibly after the Babylonian Exile of the Jews. There was at this time considerable hostility between the Jews and the Samaritans, who could best be thought of as a separate ethnic and religious group.

What gift did King Balthazar bring Jesus?
We can say they were wise men and not kings, as kings do not travel alone without his army. But the gifts by which wise men are not mentioned in the bible and therefore the number of wise men or magi is not known nor if each magi brought one gift or multiple gifts.
What were Scribes at the time of Jesus?
A:
The traditional assumption is that Jewish beliefs are unchanging and that therefore beliefs during the Late Second Temple period (and earlier) are closely reflected by modern rabbinic Judaism. There is certainly a good deal of continuity, but there were some differences although we know less about this period than we would wish. Randall Price (The Secrets of the Dead Sea Scrolls) quotes Dr. Lawrence Schiffman as saying that SecondTemple Judaism can now be seen as a transition period in which the sectarianism and apocalypticism of the period gradually gave way to rabbinic Judaism, on the one hand, and Christianity, on the other. He says it is now clear that the Second Temple period was a kind of sorting out process.
There were also quite significant differences in belief between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, with more scribes being Pharisees. The Pharisees believed in resurrection of the dead, while Sadducees did not. Rabbinic Judaism has its roots in Pharisaic belief, so many pious Jews even today keep a small bag of earth from the Holy Land, which is to be put in their coffin so that when the time comes they can be resurrected on the spot. There was also a widespread belief in a coming messiah, with some expectations of two messiahs to provide military and religious leadership. Lady Wisdom (Greek: 'Sophia') was a spirit/goddess venerated until around the end of the first century.

Did the romans use a cross for jesus?
Torture stake because a true cross is not a method in which the person could stay on it, it would rip the arms off which did not happen to Christ. Christianity wants to make the method of torture into an Idol which god strictly forbids. The Cross is an Idol! "There shall be no graven images" Exodus 20:4
