The Two Books of Luke the Physician Addressed to Theophilus
Luke wrote an account of Jesus’ works and the message of His Apostles. He wasn’t trying to give a medical diagnosis when he wrote to his patron Theophilus. Luke, it seems, was loaned to Paul for his personal afflictions and ailments. Since he was an investigator and literate, he could describe both the accounts of the witnesses of Jesus and relate his personal travels with … Continue reading The Two Books of Luke the Physician Addressed to Theophilus

Ps. 89.7 tells us God’s place in the Divine Council as opposed to the Job passages which focus on conflict: In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him (NIV). In Paul’s epistle (Ephesians) he tells the readers the purpose of the New Covenant’s joining two disparate peoples into one was to showcase God’s … Continue reading The Divine Council Is There To Learn, Not to Counsel
