New Testament

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.

1 Corinthians Ch3:16-17Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

The Bible does not literally say that the Holy Ghost will not dwell in an unclean temple. But the Bible does say that if we are saved that our bodies are the temple of God and if that is so then the Holy Ghost is dwelling in you. If you have not asked God to come into your heart, you are a sinner and your body is not the Temple of God. The only way that your body an be the temple of God is to ask Him to live in your heart and soul.

So in short I believe the scriptures IS saying that the Holy Ghost can not dwell in an unclean temple.

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."

Oh, dude, Jesus traveled around 60-70 miles from Nazareth to the Jordan River. That's like a road trip, but with sandals and robes instead of a car. So, yeah, he definitely put in some mileage for that baptism.

Oh honey, Mary was living it up in Nazareth when Gabriel decided to crash her party with some big news. So, yeah, Nazareth is the town where all the drama went down. Hope that clears things up for ya!

Ah, what a delightful question! The shortest verse in the New World Translation Bible is John 11:35, which simply says, "Jesus wept." It may be short in words, but it holds a powerful message of empathy and compassion. Just like a tiny brushstroke can bring life to a painting, this verse reminds us of the depth of emotions that Jesus felt for his friends.

The Bible does not have a page 666 in the traditional sense, as the Bible is not a single book but a collection of books written over centuries. Different versions and translations of the Bible may have varying page numbers due to differences in formatting, font size, and other factors. However, if you are referring to a specific edition or printing of a Bible, it is possible that page 666 exists in that particular version.

Jesus calling God his father

Matthew 7:21, Matthew 10:32, Matthew 10:33, Matthew 11:25, Matthew 11:26, Matthew 11:27, Matthew 12:50, Matthew 15:13, Matthew 16:17, Matthew 16:27, Matthew 18:10, Matthew 18:19, Matthew 18:35, Matthew 20:23, Matthew 25:34, Matthew 26:29, Matthew 26:39, Matthew 26:42, Matthew 26:53, Mark 8:38, Mark 14:36, Luke 2:49, Luke 10:21, Luke 10:22, Luke 22:29, Luke 22:42, Luke 23:34, Luke 23:46, Luke 24:49, John 2:16, John 5:17, John 5:19, John 5:43, John 6:32, John 6:40, John 8:19, John 8:38, John 8:49, John 8:54, John 10:17, John 10:18, John 10:25, John 10:29, John 10:37, John 12:26, John 12:27, John 14:2, John 14:7, John 14:20, John 14:21, John 14:23, John 14:31, John 15:1, John 15:8, John 15:10, John 15:15, John 15:23, John 15:24, John 16:10, John 16:23, John 16:25, John 16:32, John 17:1, John 17:5, John 17:11, John 17:21, John 17:24, John 17:25, John 18:11, John 20:17, John 20:21, Acts 1:4, Revelation 2:27, Revelation 3:5, Revelation 3:21

Well, honey, back in biblical times, last names weren't really a thing. People were identified by their first names or by their father's name, like "Jesus of Nazareth." Plus, with all the begats and begottens going on, I guess God figured one name was enough to keep track of. So, there you have it, no last names in the bible, just a whole lot of drama and miracles.

Ah, what a lovely question. The three shepherds who went to see baby Jesus were named Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar. Just imagine the joy and wonder they must have felt on that special night. It's a beautiful reminder of the importance of spreading love and kindness to others.

Oh honey, that's not a direct quote from the Bible. It sounds like a mix of different verses, but you might be thinking of Psalm 103:2 which says, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits." Just remember, Google is your friend for these kinds of questions!

Oh, what a lovely question! Blind Bartimaeus was the son of Timaeus. It's heartwarming to see your curiosity about this story. Remember, every detail in a story has its own special place, just like every color on our palette has a purpose on the canvas.

Oh, dude, the least used word in the Bible? Well, like, if you really wanna know, it's 'unicorn.' Yeah, I know, right? Apparently, it only shows up like, once or twice in some old translations. But hey, who needs unicorns when you've got talking snakes and parting seas, am I right?

We simply do not know.

We can assume that the twelve were there (the 11 original disciples and Matthias who replaced Judas Iscariot after his suicide), but in addition to these it is most likely that other followers of Jesus were there too. These would have included those who were present at his crucifixion (eg Mary, his mother and Mary Magdalene and Salome, as well as others) and probably other followers such as Cleopas and his friend (thetwo men the resurrected Jesus appeared to on the road to Emmaus), John Mark, Lazarus, Mary and Marha from Bethany, Joseph of Arimathea and possibly Nicodemus too. However as to actual numbers nowhere in scripture does it tell us this - only that 'all' the believers were assembled.

Actually there were just shy of 120.

13And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

14These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

15And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty.

Oh, what a lovely question! In the book of Hebrews, the word "better" appears 13 times. Isn't that just delightful? It's like finding little hidden treasures as you read through the pages. Keep exploring, my friend, and enjoy the journey through this beautiful book.

The Bible does not say that Jesus performed any miracles in the town of Bethlehem. However, it was the place of his virgin birth.

I Corinthians 11:1 "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ."

The apostle Paul dedicated his life to following Jesus Christ. He encouraged and provided an example for us as believers to model ourselves after him.

Hebrews 12:2 "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Paul devoted his life as a bondservant of God, continually aware that his life belonged to God and was to be in service to Him. As an apostle, he was sent by God to bring new light to his generation, specifically the new light of the Age of Grace.

Titus 1:1 "Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness."

Paul was given the revelation of the age of grace, the mystery of the Church, previously hidden from the world. This included the understanding that Christ would be in every believer.

I Corinthians 9:17 "For... a dispensation [administration] of the gospel is committed unto me."

Paul received, preached, taught, and recorded the knowledge of the great mystery: that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs and of the same body and partakers of God's promise in Christ by the gospel.

II Timothy 1:11 "Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles."
