What Did All the Apostles Do?

Oh, but they did. They established Churches in Persia, and Syria, and India, and Africa. The ones we don’t hear about were evangelists, who went abroad, and established many of the oldest churches. As it says, the least are the greatest, and the greatest are the least. I’d assume the Apostles we didn't hear about did some mighty things. The apostles we do hear about, like Matthew Levi Alphaeus—wrote a gospel being the only one literate—James Son of Thunder died immediately, and was among the first martyrs. But Judas Thaddeus Lebbeus Son of James and Simon the Zealot were evangelists in Persia and Syria, and planted churches there. Philip we know evangelized in Israel from Acts, but they say went as far as Anatolia and Greece and lived in Caesarea Philippi. John was the eldest apostle, dying at a ripe old age, and dictated the book of John through Papias around 90AD. Nathan Bartholomew established churches in Armenia, some of the oldest churches in the world. Doubting Thomas was an evangelist in Asia and India—and was killed by a Pagan King, same with Jude and Simon in Persia. Peter was stationed in Jerusalem and Rome, and was the Rock which kept the church solvent—they say the first bishop of Rome—and the source for the Gospel of Mark. Andrew ministered the churches in Turkey, which are some of the most famous in Christianity, being mentioned by John. Paul and Matthais were the two half tribes, and Matthais ministered all around the world, but seemed to plant Ethiopian Churches which again are among the eldest. James the Son of Alphaeus—or James the Less—was Bishop of Jerusalem, and the source, along with Mary the Lord’s Mother, of the Gospel of Luke. But from reading about all the Apostles, they planted hundreds of churches, in dozens of locations, each around the known world. They travelled everywhere planting churches, each one might have visited about a dozen locations, within a 700 mile radius.

America is Fallen

Spies police free speech.
Citizens sue over disagreement.
Books are censored by the lay.
Insurance agents and corporations pry into every single thing we say and do.
The Middle Class is so poor.
Welfare is attacked.
The Christian Religion is persecuted.
LGBT and DEI and Nazis and Radicals comprise 40% of the population.
People have no love.
Broadcasters cannot speak what they really mean.
Journalists cannot report on the news.
Owning guns are our only right; guns and to get screwed.
Intelligent people are told to shut up.
People have no rest.

As I said, America could exist for a 1000 years in name.
But it is fallen.

Sister Aimee

The cotton seed is a spoiler of the fabric,
The block seeps over with the blood of its victims...
The parrots all say the same thing---

Great is the wealth of metaphor
Found in nature; in human politics.
The bur stings the bare foot of a traveller...

A wise woman indeed art thou...
And wieldy with your metaphors.
A first rate poet, who made me think.

Jesus as Priest and King

Israel is not God’s Begotten Son. The Son of God is God’s Son. Who is Christ Jesus. It even names [H]im in Zechariah 3 and 6. Zechariah named “Joshua” Priest and King, which as you know Uzziah tried to do, and was stricken with a curse for attempting to do, so it was highly unlawful. Yet, Joshua represents a Priesthood that would come from the King, who is Christ, a Priesthood ordained from the Order of Melchizedek.

If I Had 1 Minute with You

I'd say, “There is a God, and His Son is Jesus. There's plenty of archeological proof, and also textual proof. The Bible also comes from witnesses. We know because we dig up things in the ground that it directly talks about. And the written records of Him, called the Gospel, come from eyewitnesses of Jesus, that He fulfilled over 300 Messianic Prophecies. And they say fulfilling 8 Prophecies are 10^17 power in Probability to happen. And Jesus was murdered on a torture instrument, and buried, and in three days He raised from the Dead, to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. And if we confess Him as LORD, and walk in accordance with His way—which is love for God and love for your Neighbor as yourself—you will be saved and go to a paradise more rich than anything you could possibly imagine.”

Jesus as Messiah

Isaiah 53 clearly establishes that a Man’s soul must be offered for sin. And that a man was bruised and punished for our iniquities.

Zechariah 3 and 6 both name Jesus (Joshua) as Messiah, as it was unlawful for the king to be of the priesthood, yet Joshua was to be made so. Also Nehemiah says “Eat the Fat and Drink the Sweet” both were unlawful, yet the Covenant was broken when the Jews were exiled, so were awaiting a New Covenant in Christ’s Blood. Jesus showed compassion was weightier than unneeded oblations.

You said that Jehoiakim was in both Bloodlines, when in fact Luke’s comes from Nathan, David’s son not Solomon.

Also the verses in the New Testament where Jesus went through and didn’t wash, or let His disciples eat grain, it clearly establishes that Jesus is setting apart this New Covenant, to be freed from the Levitical Priesthood. As Paul says in Hebrews, “With a change of Priesthood” through Melchizedek, “Comes a change of Law.”

There’s also two everlasting covenants, one to condemn sin, and another to free men from Sin’s curse.

Also Jesus ate Passover in the beginning of Passover, when it’s night. As a Jew you know the day starts at sundown, so Jesus ate the supper when the sun set. And went to sleep in the garden, and then Judas betrayed Him in the morning. And then He was killed before the Sun went down on Ash Wednesday.

It’s also shown, that Matthew was Hebrew, as he added that detail about the Pharisee tearing his robe because the Pharisees were hypocrites.

Treatment of the Poor from Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 24:19 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.

20 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

The meaning of this, is that the gleanings of your income are for the poor and dispossessed classes. So the 1/10000 of a cent the average taxpayer spends on someone like me, works through this charity. We’re not supposed to be so greedy that we can’t lend a little to the poor, including through Law.

Deuteronomy 15:7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:

8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.

9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the Lord against thee, and it be sin unto thee.

10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.

11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

So in the Jewish Tradition, they had sabbatical years, where they forgave all debts. The Seventh Year, was always a year for forgiving debts. So, this means that debts should be forgiven past a certain point. And because of this, the poor are to be loaned what they need, and pay back whatever they can when they are profited. And the rest is to be forgiven when the Sabbatical Year comes.

Laws Concerning Captive Wives

10 When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the Lord thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,

11 And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;

12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;

13 And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.

14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.

Sell Her H4376 - sell away,
