DID YOU KNOW? #3

Consistent Bible study has shown me that you can uncover intriguing information daily. There are Bible passages I have read many times but overlooked important details. 

I’ll be sharing these details today. Maybe some of you have missed them too.

LIFE LESSON:

 THERE IS MORE THAN ONE!



SAINT JAMES, THE ELDER BY REMBRANDT,
DECEMBER 31, 1660




JAMES, SON OF ZEBEDEE

MATTHEW 4:21 

Going on from there, He (JESUS) saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee and John his brother...

MATTHEW 10:2

 

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother.

 

 

 

 

ST. JAMES, THE LESS

FRESCO, ORTHODOX CHURCH,

VLADIMIR, RUSSIA, 12TH CENTURY


JAMES, SON OF ALPHAEUS

 

MATTHEW 10:3

 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;

 

LUKE 6:13, 15

 

13 And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles: 
15 Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus…

JAMES,  BONDSERVANT OF GOD

JAMES 1:1-3

 

1 James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ…
2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.





 ** James, son of Alphaeus is also 
referred to as James, the less (younger)
and son of Mary.

 *** James, Bondservant of God according to  Bible scholars is not James of Zebedee or James Alphaeus

ADAM & EVE'S FAMILY TREE

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore ...

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now ...

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to u...
