Circumcision is a large topic in the book of Galatians , but why does Paul mention this in the letter to the people of Galatia? Paul is currently playing the game of interpretation with the Galatians where he started by giving them the good news of Jesus, they respond with trying to be so Jewish that they felt more Jewish than the Jews, and Paul responds in his letter—later to become the book of Galatians—that they should not circumcise.

Paul’s epistle to the people of Galatia addressed many groups, including Jews, Gentiles, and other missionaries, among others. Paul established a rebuttal against other missionaries who were using Abraham as a supporting argument to convert the Gentiles to Judaism by means of circumcision. In Galatians, Paul understood his Gentile Galatian audience primarily in Jewish terms as he made connections to them through major figures in Jewish history and the Jewish tradition of circumcision, uniting the

Ephesians is a letter written by the Apostle Paul during his imprisonment in Rome. This is the same Paul who had previously persecuted the church, under the name Saul.

His purpose was to encourage the faithful on “The spiritual privileges of the Church,” and “The spiritual responsibilities of the Church.” Paul was addressing three issues facing these growing church

the world they would need to know multiple languages, something that these Apostles did not know beforehand. There was also the practical advantage of communicating the gospel to the pilgrims in Jerusalem in their own languages so that they might take it back to their own regions. If you look at Jerusalem as the center for Judaism, then you realize the need for such a miraculous sign. If God hadn’t bestowed the gift of tongues and had everyone hear their own langue there wouldn’t have been enough

by plane while Israel gets a resolution from UN, telling them that the Western Wall is a settlement. Israel's Ambassador To UN, Danny Danon, minced no words in his address to Security Council: “The resolution you just voted on is the peak of hypocrisy. While thousands are being massacred in Syria, this Council wasted valuable time and efforts, condemning the democratic State of Israel for building homes in the historic homeland of the Jewish people.” He also correctly noted that "those who had

Traveling from the church in Antioch to Jerusalem, Barnabas, Paul and Mark set out to spread the Gospel. "Both Acts 15 and Galatians 2:1-10 detail a meeting in Jerusalem.

A problem is mentioned that the missionaries encounter when they reach

St. Cyril of Jerusalem was born in 315 A.D. and that he was brought up in Jerusalem. Cyril's life began a few years before Arianism and he lived to see its abolishment and denunciation at the end of his life. He was the victim of many of the struggles that was in his life.His family were most likely Christians and he seemed to care a lot about them. He honored parents "for however much we may repay them, yet we can never be to them what they as parents have been to us." He also had a sister
