Thanks brother…always the Barnabas. I hoped that people would realize it was only a “fly over” or what our seminary books were called “A Survey of…” but you are so kind my friend.
Amen
Over the years I have come to the conclusion or decision it really doesn’t matter who wrote any of the books of the Bible or any of the other early Christian and ancient writings. The important thing is we study and learn to glean the truths and wisdom contained therein to advance our spiritual maturity. Some, as I have in the past, get overly caught up in nitpicking the literal words, when it was written, and who wrote it. In so doing we often miss the great lessons and spiritual meaning conveyed in these wonderful works of literary antiquity.
So true…surely God is the Author of all Scripture, being God-breathed. This article doesn’t argue with that fact…this was only a synopsis of the human authors of the 4 gospels…sort of a brief flyover so that people would know more about these men who God used to write the inspired Word of God. Thank you.
Do you have a suggestion for an easy to understand study Bible? God Bless and thank you, Joni
Thank you Joni…first of all, I am overjoyed you want to study the Bible. Awesome! I love the MacArthur Study Bible and the Reformation Study Bible, both ESV (English Standard Versions) and are among the easiest to read and understand but I also really like the New King James Version but I like Study Bible’s because sometimes the commentaries, although not inspired, give me good insight in the background or meaning to the Scriptures, particularly difficult ones like “What is baptism for the dead mentioned in 1 Corinthians 15:29?”
(Pastor Jack, since I am new to the world of “blogging—this is blogging, correct?—please let me know if I overstep here. If I did, I am glad you can delete this 🙂 ) Joni, if you would like to see a Bible passage in different versions of the Bible, I would recommend you visit http://www.biblehub.com. Since I am Hispanic, I like to read the Word of God in Spanish and English to see if I understood the same thing in both languages. I still need my Bibles in hardcopy form though, because I like to underline and highlight verses; but sometimes I want to find a verse faster and so I go here. I hope this helps you as it has help me.
Your Sister in Christ Jesus,
Carmen
Thank you Carmen…yes, I do use Biblehub because it has various translations on the same webpage. It is very helpful. Thank you so much and may God richly bless you my friend.
Carmen thank you for the suggestion, I did go to Biblehub and read some of it. I only read english but I found it interesting, I am glad there is a webpage out there for multi lingual. God Bless Joni
