How did Paul's encounter with the risen Christ alter his life and purpose?
Paul's encounter with the risen Christ on the road to Damascus was a transformative experience that led to his conversion from a persecutor of Christians to one of the most influential figures in the early Christian church. This encounter not only changed his beliefs and worldview but also gave him a new sense of purpose and direction in spreading the gospel message. Paul's understanding of the grace and mercy of God was deepened through this encounter, shaping his theology and motivating his missionary efforts to share the message of salvation with both Jews and Gentiles.
What languages were spoken by the disciples of Jesus?
Aramaic was the common language of the land of Israel in the time of Jesus.
No where in Bible it was written that the Disciples spoke in Aramaic, but Jesus spoke in Aramaic, and so the disciples probably did also.
In the bible who was the last person Jesus Christ spoke to?
The last person Jesus Christ spoke to in the Bible was His disciple John. He spoke to him while He was on the cross, entrusting the care of His mother, Mary, to John. Jesus wanted to make sure that His mother would be looked after, so He told John, “Here is your mother,” and from that moment, John took Mary into his home. This shows how, even in His final moments, Jesus was concerned with the well-being of those He loved.
First, when Jesus told Caiaphas and the court that condemned him to death that he was the Son of Man who would come "on the clouds of heaven" he was not speaking of his second coming but of the judgment of Jerusalem (Matthew 26:63-64). As Caiaphas and the court well knew, clouds were a common Old Testament symbol pointing to God as the sovereign judge of the nations. In the words of Isaiah, "See, the Lord rides on a swift cloud and his coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt tremble before him, and the hearts of the Egyptians melt within them" (Isaiah 19:1). Jesus employs the symbolism of clouds to warn his hearers that as judgment fell on Egypt, so would it soon befall Jerusalem. The "coming on clouds" judgment metaphor was clearly intended for Caiaphas and the first century crowd who condemned Christ to death. The generation that crucified Christ would see the day that he was exalted and enthroned at "the right hand of the Mighty One."
Jesus' coming on the clouds to judge Jerusalem in the first century points forward to the end time when he will appear again "to judge the living and the dead" (2 Timothy 4:1). A day is coming when "all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out-those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned" (John 5:28-29).
Answer: at the end of days (revelations), there will be signs like earthquakes, famine (starvation), wars and rumors of wars, any of these sound familiar, personally i think the signs have started but The Bible says not the angles in heaven OR THE SON (Jesus) but only the father knows when, so its unknown to anyone when it will happen all we have are the signs, now I'm not saying o its coming soon NO it may be another 100 years or more all I'm saying is i think the signs have started
Answer: In short, when we least expect it.
Answer: The Bible is very clear in Matthew 24:36 that no one knows the day or hour of the second coming of Jesus Christ. So whenever someone sets a date for the end of the world or the second coming, then you can know they are not speaking the truth.
Now in saying that, the Bible also teaches that we CAN know when the second coming is near from the signs of the end times (Mark 13:29). And the signs that are in the world today show that we are living in the end times and the second coming is not too far away.
You are told specifically when Christ will return "at the last or 7th Trumpet"
Its difficult to believe that even though it's written very plainly, many here tell you it can not be known. Did Christ tell you that you can not know when he returns? Kind of, but his comment was very focused concerning the exact moment (year, month, day, hour). However, he did give you signs to watch for; which would define the end times, the establishment of the kingdom of Satan playing fake Jesus (Antichrist) and the length of Satan's reign (5 mo - Rev 9), and an entire set of Seals Trumpets and Vials to observe in order to keep on track concerning those events and his return. A Watchman watches for events... signs.
So what is the answer to the question when is Jesus coming back? The summed up answer is simple. Christ will return at the 7th trumpet which occurs on the first day of the 7th month. which occurs at the end of the 5 month reign of Satan playing the fake Jesus (Antichrist) (Rev 13).
The more difficult task is getting your ducks in a row concerning the chronological order of events which occur prior to, and during the 5 mo reign of Satan as Antichrist. This would require a knowledge of scriptures, specifically the prophecies of Daniel 8, 11, and 7 (in that order) and the book of Revelation (Daniel 7 dovetails into Revelation), and all the words of the prophets which support the prophecies of Daniel and the warning signs of Christ and the detailed support provided by the Prophets about key and specific events which will occur. It takes quite a while to search these things out in scripture and understand their progression in time. For this reason, many simply cop out , by saying "you can't know when that time is", however what is written the word contradicts that claim.
Where to Start:
- 2nd Peter chapter 3 (the key of David)
- Acts 17 and Colossians 2 (understanding who the philosophia are and what their doctrine is)
- Then Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21
- Then Daniel 8, 11, and 7
- Then the Book of Revelation
- Then the major and minor prophets, Specifically Jeremiah 24 which set the timing for the beginning of the end times (1948).
Where in the Bible is the verse Jesus conquered death hell and the grave?
Hosea 13:14
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
Additional Info:Together, there is no single verse which mentions all three; death, hell, and the grave. This concept comes from one of the various forms of the Apostle's Creed. Whether it is biblical is a matter of debate especially concerning the teaching that Jesus descended into hell. There are several verses in Scripture that contradict this part of the creed (Luke 23:43,46; Col. 2:15, and John 19:30).
How many diciplees did Jesus take to the mount of transformation?
It is commonly referred to as the 'transfiguration.' The answer is three:
Matthew 17:1-3New King James Version (NKJV) Matthew 171 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.
What does the star reprsent in the Nativity?
Astrology is condemned in the bible. So the Astrologers were looking for omens in the stars were guided by someone, who? If God used this medium of communication why would he guide them to Herod who was so happy to hear of a new king he ordered all the boys up to two years of age be killed. So someone who didn't want a savior a messiah to save mankind sent the star. By the way there may have been two, three or more magi the account doesn't say & Jesus was living in a house age about two.
Why was it necessary for Jesus to die?
Mankind sinned against God by choosing to disobey His commands (which He gave in order to keep us from harming ourselves and others). The Bible declares the the wages (the payment due) for sin is death. Originally God accepted animal sacrifice as the blood payment, but this was just a shadow of the Sacrifice to come because the blood of animals could never truly cleanse mankind from sin. God in His foreknowledge, knowing that mankind would sin and knowing that because He is Just He would have to punish sin (just like a human judge punishes lawbreakers), had a plan to offer His mercy and grace and forgivess justly by having Someone pay the punishment we deserve. Of course, this Person had to be sinless or else it would have no effect. So God allowed His one and only begotten Son to come into the world, be born of a virgin (God in nature is perfect and He cannot be born of human nature which is passed along human lines, ie sexual reproduction). He lived a sinless life and was sacrificed (killed willingly by the Romans and the Jews at the time). But He not only died for us, but rose from the dead by the power of God the Father, thereby defeating sin, death and the devil. By believing in Him, His shed Blood (death) and resurrection, we can receive the forgiveness of God and Eternal Life!

Who contended that the story of Jesus was a myth?
Several historical figures and scholars have contended that the story of Jesus was a myth. Notable figures include scholars like G.A. Wells and Robert M. Price, who have suggested that the Jesus of the New Testament may have been a mythical or legendary figure rather than a historical person. This view is a minority position among scholars of early Christianity.

What it importance does it have for Jesus to call God father?
We need to know God as our heavenly Father, who supplies our every need. Even though we cannot see Him, God is always doing his best so that we can know Him in this regard.
John 1:18 "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."
Besides redeeming mankind, Jesus Christ declared God to us. Jesus made God, whom no man had ever seen, known. Because of his example, we understand Godly qualities from a human perspective.
John 20:29 "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."
Without seeing God, many have believed. Beyond all doubt, Jesus confirmed that God is our Heavenly Father, to whom we can pray and receive powerful answers.
John 15:16 “...whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”

How many people die in the US unsaved each year?
It is difficult to provide an exact number of people who die unsaved in the US each year. Factors such as personal beliefs, access to healthcare, and individual circumstances can all impact end-of-life decisions. It is important to respect individuals' autonomy and choices regarding their beliefs and end-of-life care.
What was it like living in Jesus' time?
The times were very hard for the people of Israel. There was the Roman occupation, which means that there were foreign soldiers in control of the country. They stole, raped, and terrorized the people. The rulers were Roman appointed which meant that you did not get justice because the rulers did not care about your people or your country. Taxes were very high and the collectors were brutal about collecting it.
Life under the Roman occupation meant that everything but religion was controlled by foreign people. This says that they didn't understand your culture or your religious obligations. Romans worshiped many gods and the Jewish God was just another one to add to the list which was very long. Caesar was even a god, and this made for much conflict in the population.
People like Caiphas were high priests, but they were political appointees. This is like having your preacher be appointed by the government. He might know about your denomination, but his heart was not in it. He was in it for the status, not the religion. High priests were appointed, not anointed by God. They served for a short time, then were replaced by another appointee. So the priestly system was controlled by the Romans. The religious system of justice was twisted by these men to suit the Roman occupiers. While the system was still in place, it was not what God had commanded.
As far as the general population's lives, it continued pretty much as it always had. People raised families, went to synagogue (church), farmed, traded, and traveled. Some things were seriously monitored like travel, but all in all, people adjust to the way life is. They prayed for Messiah and most seriously wanted Him to come to free them, but in the mean time...they just lived.
There were a few extremist groups during this time, most notably the Zealots. These people were radicals who actively fought to oust the Romans. They tried and tried to overcome the Romans but were unsuccessful. Josephus the historian was a former Zealot who participated in a campaign to overcome the Romans. He became a turncoat and went to Rome to avoid being ostracized in his own country. While in Rome, he wrote a history of the Jews..a very important document about the times.
The Messiah was Promised, but in all the times of the Jews, had never come. Over the centuries, many men had helped save the nation, but never the one Messiah who would bring lasting peace. In fact, the last messiah to save the people had been Judah Maccabee about 400 years before Jesus. But when he saved the country from paganism, he then turned to politics and his family became political not religious in later years. (See the link.)
The reason that Jesus was not accepted by all the people as Messiah was that He did not free the country, just souls. There is a big difference between eternal salvation and physical freedom. The Christians were still in bondage, but their souls were free. After centuries of bondage, the people couldn't really understand the difference so Jesus' life, death, and resurrection wasn't "real" to the general population at the time. They wanted the freedom promised in Zachariah 14 now, not at some future date. Jesus didn't do that...He saved people for eternity.
There is no direct evidence that Jesus is related to Shem, but some people believe that they may be related indirectly.
Shem was one of the sons of Noah, and Noah is a direct ancestor of Abraham, who is a direct ancestor of Jesus. So, if Shem and Noah are related, then Jesus may be related to Shem indirectly.
However, there is no way to know for sure if this is the case.
Where Jesus Christ was buried?
Jesus' body were laid in Joseph's ( a reputable member of the Sanhedrin) new rock-cut memorial tomb. Afterward, a large stone is rolled in front of the tomb. (Matthew 27:57-60; Mark 15:43-46; Luke 23:50-53; John 19:38-42) This tomb was situated in a garden near the place of Jesus' impalement.
What proof beyond the Bible is there that Jesus existed?
Besides the bible there has been a finding of a piece of the cross he was crucified on but the main answer to this question is you have to have FAITH. If you truly believe you can begin to understand the message behind the crucifixion of Jesus.
Answer/
There is The Acts of Pilate found in research by Ananias , an officer of the Praetorian Guard, who translated into Greek the report recorded in Hebrew by Nicodemus of the Passion of Jesus Christ, A.D.33.
There are also the reports of Pilate sent to Tiberius concerning the crucifixion. Ref: The Letter of Pilate to Tiberius; Anaphora Pilati.
Primary sources are documented within these editions:
S. P Brock, A Fragment of the Acta Pilati in Christian Palestinian Aramaic; J.W.B. Barns, Bodleian Fragments of a Sahidic Version of the Acta Pilati,' in Coptic; I. E. Rahmani, Acta Pilati: Antiqua Versio in Syriac, etc.
How high were the walls of Jerusalem in the time of Jesus?
Per Josephus Wars Book 5 Chapter 4 section 4 (or verse 172 by the newer method), some of the walls were over 52 feet high with towers extending far beyond that. Some of the city had three walls around it, while other parts had only one. The whole of Chapter 4 is given to a very good description of Jerusalem just before the destruction in AD 70.
When referring to Jesus Christ should he be capitalized?
Some people use initial capitals on all pronouns referring to Jesus or God, as a sign of respect. I have then seen some scholars similarly use initial capitals on all pronouns referring to all gods, in order to demonstrate equal respect.
The King James Bible does not capitalise the pronouns referring to Jesus or God, and I usually follow this precedent.
