Antioch

On 27 December, 2007, a traumatic brain injury tried to kill me, and it failed, miserably. I remember the manager coming into work drunk and high. I remember her threatening my elderly residents. I remember shouting to Chef to call the police and EMT’s while I subdue her in his office. I remember her becoming even more agitated.

He declared that church was going to try and get the Holy Land back from the Seljuk Turks in battles that would be known as the Crusades. Since the mid-seventh century, the Muslims had controlled the Holy Land and had prevented Catholics from entering Jerusalem to make pilgrimages.

Introduction The passage Matthew 12: 9-14 deals with the controversy of healing on the Sabbath Day. Works of any sort were against the law on the Sabbath day and healing would have made Jesus a law breaker. Prior to this passage there were other problems pertaining to the Sabbath Day law, but this passage confronts those issues of works on the Sabbath Day. In the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, the government was described as dictators at that time. “Here its primary sense is…

a common belief that Luke wrote the third gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, but modern-day scholars believe that we cannot be positive about the identity of the author as there is no documented author in the book. Luke wrote his work while in Antioch, a city in Syria, for a Gentile audience. Luke was composed somewhere in between 80 and 90 C.E.

They would breakdown these books both verbally and by the writer’s ideas in order to prove who the author really was.
