How long did Paul train before he began his ministry?

Answered by BibleQ . February 23, 2015 - 9:57 pm

There were at least 2 elements of Paul’s training. His training at the feet of Gamaliel (Acts 22:3) according to the strict manner of the law of the Jews. The revelation of the Gospel directly from Jesus Christ (Gal 1:12), most probably in Arabia. Probably his training with Gamaliel would have been concluded by the […]

All food permitted, before and after the Law of Moses Both before and after the Law of Moses God allowed people to eat anything. The instruction given to Noah was “Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you.” (Genesis 9:3). During the period of the Law of Moses food was restricted for the […]

Paul went up to the third tier of Heaven which was not located on the earth: does this show that the saved go to heaven when they die?

Answered by BibleQ . July 29, 2013 - 8:27 am

No. Whatever happened to Paul when he was ‘caught up to the third heaven’ (2 Cor. 12:2) happened to him when he was alive, not dead, so it is no indication of what happens to people when they die. For more on the third heaven, see the answers to: ‘What is the third heaven? (2 […]

Who are the “us” and “we” referred to in Acts 20:5-6?

The “us” an “we” in Acts 20:5-6 refer to the author of Acts (i.e., Luke) and Paul (also see Acts 16:10–17; 20:5–15; 21:1–18; 27:1– 28).

In Acts 26:32, why does it say that Paul would have gone free if he had not appealed to Caesar?

Answered by BibleQ . March 4, 2013 - 9:05 am

This is a reference to something that happened earlier in Acts, in the previous chapter. In Acts 25 Paul is on trial before Festus, who says to him, ‘“Do you wish to go up to Jerusalem and there be tried on these charges before me?” But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s tribunal, where […]

What did Paul mean when he said he was “out of due time”? (1 Cor 15:8)

Answered by BibleQ . May 31, 2012 - 10:43 pm

In the context, Paul had been talking about all of the groups of people who had seen Jesus after he was resurrected (1 Corinthians 15:3-7). These all seem to have been in the 40 days after Jesus was raised before he was taken into heaven. However, Paul knew that Jesus had only appeared to him long […]

Can we rely on scripture?

Answered by BibleQ . May 17, 2012 - 8:22 pm

Detailed question Why should we rely on scripture so much when written from Paul, such as Romans, Ephesians, Colossians? Wasn’t he just a human being who could have written on his own beliefs? The witness of the resurrection of Jesus Christ is at the foundation of Christian faith. In the first century the evidence was […]

How do other hominoids (e.g homo erectus, homo neanderthalensis, etc.) fit into Creation?

There have been three ways of approaching this question. 1. The human-like remains predated Adam and Eve’s creation. Hominoids died out and are unrelated to modern humans. Strength: This idea allows a more or less literal reading of the creation record of Gen 1, 2 while at the same time attempting to reconcile it with […]

Are Paul’s writings guidelines for the times or commands for us today?

Answered by BibleQ . October 4, 2011 - 11:30 pm

Paul’s writings were instructions/guidelines/commands for the times and for now. We know from 2 Tim 3:16-17 that All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, (17) that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. Paul’s writings are Scripture, therefore […]
