NBST 520-B02 Discussion Board Post Forum 1 1. Give the evidence to support Luke as author of Acts. How could Luke become aware of privileged information such as found in Acts 23:25–30, 25:14–22, and 26:30–32? How important are the "we" passages in Acts to determining authorship? John A. Battle, Th.D., provided insight to the authorship of Act stating that there is external and internal evidence to support Luke, the Physician as the author. The external evidence can be seen in the writings

On the Night You Were Born II Kings 17:6-14 and Luke 15:17-24 Rev. Dr. Zina Jacque August 29, 2010 Beloved of God, do you know, have you ever wondered what happened on the night you were born. My family story holds that somewhere around the end of August in 1956 Dr. E.L.C. Broomes told my Mother not to get her hopes too high. After all, this was her fifth pregnancy, and though she had finally moved beyond the 30 week mark, she still had many weeks to go and she should not get her hopes too high

gets a bad review because of the one incident where Jesus scolded her for her attitude towards her sister Mary (John 10:40 English Standard Version). However, to go back to the beginning of the story, it was Martha who invited Jesus into her house (Luke 10:38). In John 11:5 as the story of Lazarus's illness and pursuant death was being introduced, the Scriptures state, "Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus." Martha was mentioned first and by name, and Mary was the only one not mentioned

Originally, redaction criticism was restricted to the synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke), but it has been applied to other areas of Scripture. Being the successor of form criticism, its main concern is to discover the contributions which the evangelists themselves have made to the Gospel tradition. Norman Perrin in his book What is Redaction Criticism? states, “The prime requisite for redaction criticism is the ability to trace the form and content of material used by the author concerned

The “Force” continues to be an influence in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. As spiritually thirsty as the “Force” may be, the idea does allow the Star Wars movies to include a very significant truth. There is “good and evil in the universe” that is “beyond” just us. It illustrates the biblical principle that while it is possible for us all to do evil things, we are not hopelessly evil. Legitimately, “Star Wars” is many things to many people, like dishonesty or untrustworthy spirituality. However, it

"Some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it," Luke 8:7. This passage from the gospel of Luke about the Parable of the Sower can truly relate to my relationship within my faith.

possessing several distinct character traits and virtues. According to the Gospel of Mark, Jesus’ ministry appears to begin at the time of his Baptism. “Mark was the earliest Gospel to be written and was the principle written source for Matthew and Luke” (Tatum, W. B., 1999, p. 41-42) and there is good evidence that shows the Gospel of Mark was influenced by Peter. It is helpful to know the author when studying the Gospels to gain insight
