New Testament

Well honey, in chapters 1 to 3 of the Bible, there are a total of four healing miracles grouped together. Jesus was out there flexing his healing powers like it was nobody's business. So, to answer your question, it's a solid four miracles in those chapters.

The first Pentecost in Acts 2 occurred around 33 AD. This date is calculated based on the historical context provided in the Bible, particularly in relation to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The event of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles, is considered by many scholars to have taken place during the Jewish festival of Pentecost, fifty days after Passover.

Oh, that's a lovely question! In the New Testament, all the books mention Jesus in some way because he is the central figure in Christianity. Each book may focus on different aspects of his life, teachings, or impact, but his presence is felt throughout. Just like how every color on our palette adds depth and beauty to a painting, Jesus's presence enriches each book in the New Testament.

The scripture reference for "seek ye first the kingdom" is Matthew 6:33 in the Bible. This verse is part of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, where he teaches about the importance of prioritizing God's kingdom above all else. By seeking first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, believers are encouraged to trust in God's provision for their needs.

In the Old Testament, the 100th verse is in Genesis 6:10. The 100th word is "them" in Genesis 1:29. The 100th chapter is Psalms 100. The 100th letter is the Hebrew letter "he" in Genesis 1:1. In the New Testament, the 100th verse is in Matthew 5:18. The 100th word is "to" in Matthew 1:2. The 100th chapter is Matthew 15. The 100th letter is the Greek letter "alpha" in Matthew 1:1.

There is no historical or biblical evidence to suggest that John the disciple was poisoned. John, also known as John the Apostle, was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus and is traditionally believed to have died of natural causes in old age. The New Testament does not mention any poisoning incident involving John.

Matthew's gospel says that they came from the east. We don't know where this was, but it is reasonable to assume that it could have been Persia, if not India or even China as some traditions have it. The distance from the ancient city of Susa in Persia to Jerusalem is about 765 miles, so it easily could have been 800 miles or more! (The same term for wise men is used in the book of Daniel when Daniel was in Babylon and in Susa.)

Upon their arrival in Jerusalem they inquired of the king (Herod) where the baby would be born. Herod, a jealous and insane man, subsequently ordered all baby boys under age two in Bethlehem to be killed. Since the wise men started traveling when they saw the star and assuming the star appeared at the date of the birth, then they had been traveling for probably less than two years.

Assuming the wise men traveled on camels (we don't actually know), then a distance of 800 miles or so could actually have been covered more quickly than you might think. A 30 mile per day average might be a little high, but even assuming 10 miles per day (easily covered by walking) you end up with only 80 days of actual travel. It seems likely they traveled at that pace or faster and then rested and enjoyed hospitality for a while along the way when they arrived in cities. They could have made the trip in a few months, but they may well have traveled at a more leisurely pace and taken longer.

Oh, isn't that just a happy little question! Matthew Paris, a talented historian and artist, had a rather critical view of King John. He painted him as a ruthless and unpopular ruler, focusing on his harsh treatment of his subjects and nobles. It's important to remember that everyone has their own perspective, just like how we all see different colors in a beautiful sunset.

Well, in scripture there is no such thing as a "baptist church motherboard." Now with regard to some traditions found in African American churches in the USA, there is such a thing as the "church mother board" or "Church mothers" who are simply comprised of older women in the congregation, who have been saved for many years and are able to impart wisdom and prayers to the younger generation. This tradition is based on 1 Timothy 5:1-2 says, "Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to him as a father. Treat younger men as brothers, ; older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters with complete purity." ; Titus 2:1-5 says,"Similarly, older women should be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers, not addicted to drink, teaching what is good, so that they may train younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, chaste, good homemakers, submitted to their husbands, so that the word of God may not be discredited." This is the foundational basis for having "spiritual mother's in the church." Is it an ordained position? No. However, we are to honor the elders who have persevered in the faith because we can gain so much valuable wisdom from them regarding spiritual matters. "Imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises."(Heb. 6:12) Hebrews 11:2 says, "For by faith the elders obtained a good reputation." Church Mother's should be available to impart great prayer and counsel to those in need.

The only miracle mentioned in all four gospels is the feeding of the 5,000. This miracle is found in Matthew 14:13-21, Mark 6:30-44, Luke 9:10-17, and John 6:1-14. It is a significant event where Jesus multiplied five loaves of bread and two fish to feed a large crowd of people.

In Christian theology, Satan is not believed to have the power to perform miracles in the same way that God or divine beings can. Miracles are typically seen as acts of divine intervention or supernatural occurrences that are in line with God's will. Satan is often associated with deception, temptation, and evil rather than miraculous acts.

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ is mentioned multiple times throughout the Bible, with various references in both the Old and New Testaments. While the exact number of times it is mentioned can vary depending on interpretation and translation, it is a significant theme in Christian eschatology. Key passages include Matthew 24, Mark 13, 1 Thessalonians 4, and Revelation 19.

The phrase "but God" appears in 44 verses of the KJV bible.

Oh, dude, that's a wild request. But hey, if you're really into that kind of stuff, just be like, "Hey, Mom and Dad, instead of grounding me, how about a good ol' spanking?" And then be prepared for the most awkward conversation of your life. Good luck with that, I guess.

Well, honey, St. Michael is a bit of a legend, so the exact date of his death is up for debate. Some say he kicked the bucket in the 4th century, while others claim it was much later in the 8th century. It's all a bit fuzzy, but one thing's for sure - he's been dead for quite a while now.

Depending on what you mean by "backwards" either:

Oh, dude, Apostle Paul was around 30 to 33 years old when he had his conversion on the road to Damascus. It's like a pivotal moment in his life, you know? So, yeah, he was definitely not a spring chicken when he decided to switch teams.

Paul's education prepared him to be an effective speaker and gave him the knowledge to use a particular group's own cultural background as a starting point to show how Jesus fit in with their philosophy. For example, his extensive knowledge of the Torah and rabbinical writings allowed him to argue that Jesus was the fulfillment of Messianic prophesies. His knowledge of Greek culture and philosophy allowed him to point out that Jesus was the ideal towards whom their philosophers had been striving, and that in fact the Greeks had already been worshiping Him as "the unknown God." Read Acts chapter 17 for more details.

Oh, dude, no way! Nicodemus doesn't mean devil. Nicodemus was actually a Pharisee and a member of the Jewish ruling council who came to Jesus at night in the Bible. So, yeah, Nicodemus is definitely not synonymous with the devil. Like, totally different vibes, man.

Oh, what a lovely question! James and Jude, the brothers of Jesus, wrote books in the New Testament. James wrote the Book of James, sharing wisdom about faith and good deeds, while Jude wrote the Book of Jude, urging believers to stay strong in their faith amidst challenges. It's wonderful to see how family ties can inspire such meaningful writings.

Ah, disciples can also be called followers, students, or believers. They are like little happy trees that grow alongside you, learning and growing together on your journey. Just remember, each disciple brings their own unique colors to the canvas of life.

Ah, let's take a moment to appreciate the word "faith" in Galatians chapter 3. It appears a total of four times in this chapter, each mention reminding us of the importance of trusting in God and His promises. Just like adding layers of paint to a beautiful landscape, let's remember to layer our lives with faith and trust in the journey ahead.

Paul was a tentmaker by trade, but he also worked as a missionary and preacher. So, you could say he was a multitasking entrepreneur spreading the word of God while stitching up some tents on the side. Just call him the original side hustle king.

Oh, dude, the word "good" appears 722 times in the Bible. That's like a lot of times, man. So, if you're ever playing Bible trivia and someone asks you that, you can be like, "Oh, it's 722 times, no big deal."

Well, my friend, it is believed that Jesus traveled about 60 miles from Nazareth to the Jordan River. That's quite a journey, but sometimes the most beautiful destinations require a bit of effort to reach. Just imagine the lovely landscapes and peaceful moments Jesus experienced along the way.
