How’d you find them?<BR/><BR/>The church at Antioch was founded by Greek-speaking Christian Jews who scattered from Judea after Stephen was stoned (Acts 11:19). At that time they spoke only to other Jews, particularly Greek-speaking Jews. Then the Jerusalem church sent Barnabas up to them who instructed them in AD 45-46 (19:22-23). Then he went up to Tarsus and got me around 46 (19:25-26).<BR/><BR/>2. Is this fragment of your journal from the return from what they now call the “First” missionary journey? <BR/><BR/>Yes, on the return of what you all call the first missionary journey.<BR/><BR/>3. Did you are Barnabas drink new wine or low-alcohol wine (just kidding on that one)<BR/><BR/>It was pretty dilute compared to what they sell at your stores ;-)<BR/><BR/>4. So is the “Galatia” in your journal THE Galatia –the place you will write Galatians to? Did you visit there on the so-called “first” journey? Or is this a fragment from a later journey?<BR/><BR/>They tell me this is an evangelical novel, so yes, this is THE Galatia I will soon write my first letter to ;-)<BR/><BR/>5. Yeah I always suspected that Mark did you dirty and squealed to the Headquarters bigwigs telling them about your free-wheeling free-grace teaching. Sore loser. If you had let his uncle Barney keep thinking he was the leader he’d have stayed on board and carried your suitcases… now you’ll need to find another young man to go along and do this now—they have a bright young fellow up at Lystra I hear.<BR/><BR/>Name begin with a T?<BR/><BR/>6. I was wondering if the Manaen guy in Antioch still attends the (Jewish) synagogue and also the (Christian) assembly? How many assemblies did they have in Antioch at this time Paul?<BR/><BR/>A few of the synagogues in Antioch went Christian as a whole, especially the smaller ones that met in houses already. Others started new synagogues in the homes of believers. But there were only a couple hundred believers total in the city--big by our standards, small by yours.Ken Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745548537303356655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-59628214987902121752007-05-07T16:06:00.000-04:002007-05-07T16:06:00.000-04:00Hey Paul, I’m glad you are blogging now… I have a ...Hey Paul, I’m glad you are blogging now… I have a few questions on the journal fragment they must have recently found.<BR/>1.

I think this story...I'm enjoying the novel so far!<BR/> I think this storytelling approach would make a complement magnifique to a bible study as it warms up the way we visualize the events quite a bit more than what most readers of the Bible are used to when they haven't the education on all the background happenings.<BR/><BR/>Reminds me a bit of the Bishop books, "The day Christ Died" and so on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
