John Mark and John the Baptist
hillsbororiver:
Hi Kweli,
I am glad to be of some assistance Brother,
You know when you consider the volume that Luke (Gospel of Luke & Acts) and John (the beloved) were chosen and/or commisioned to write they were some very major contributors to the NT, we normally think of Paul as being the most prolific writer but Luke and John weren't slouches either! ;)
Peace,
Joe

May I throw this question out also?
And did the Beloved-John,...author the book of Revelations?
I've heard it different ways?
Thanks,

Yes Brenda,
The Apostle John, Brother of James(the Son's of Thunder-Boanarges) wrote The Revelation, The Gospel of John, 1st, 2ND and third John. My understanding is that Revelation was written in 96 C.E. ; The Gospel of John in 98 C.E. ; 1st, 2ND and 3rd John 98-100 C.E. and the Apostle John died sometime after the beginning of the second century.
Kind regards, Samson.
P.S. No time for references this Morning, leaving for Altoona, Pa to see Daughter.

Just to verify my BBT ;D (Before Bible Truths) understanding....
C.E. now means current era which used to be A.C. after the birth of Christ.
So in the 96 C.E. Beloved/John would have been in his 70's when he wrote this?
Enjoy your Daughter Samson...
I'm prepairing for a Hurricane hitting here in Florida tommorrow!
Peace,
Brenda

hi brenda, just wanted to let you know that am praying for you and yours, as well as any other of our sisters and brothers in Christ, who are in the path of the storm fay. seems like we as believers are always in the pathway of some kind of storm in our lives. but what better ways to build our trust and courage, knowing that God can see us through any storm that comes our way. anyway, batten down the hatches and stay safe.
your sister in Him,
claudia
OBrenda:
Thank You Claudia,
How very kind. It sure feels like the dial that reads "Trials & Tribulations" has been turned up a few notches for everybody. You've got it right, we need to stick together and encourage one another with prayer. We need to be grateful for what we have been blessed with. Each day we grow stronger in him.
Your support is edifying,
Brenda

John the baptist preached repentance...he was tough and demanding...
(
Luk 7:24) When John's messengers were gone, He proceeded to say to the multitude concerning John, "What did you go out into the Desert to gaze at? A reed waving in the wind?
(Luk 7:25) But what did you go out to see? A man wearing luxurious clothes? People who are gorgeously dressed and live in luxury are found in palaces.
(Luk 7:26) But what did you go out to see? A Prophet? Aye, I tell you, and far more than a Prophet.
(Luk 7:27) John is the man about whom it is written, 'SEE, I AM SENDING MY MESSENGER BEFORE THY FACE, AND HE SHALL MAKE READY THY WAY BEFORE THEE.'
If you read history you will find in the writings of some of the early curch leaders who took over many of the churches, they make no mention of John but do talk about Paul and Peter, even though John was still alive.
I think John was a sun of thunder and was critical of the false teachings that were creaping into the church.
