Just like people living in ancient times, we need continuing revelation to help us know what Heavenly Father wants us to do.
We are blessed to have fifteen living prophets, seers, and revelators—the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve. They receive revelation from God for us today. August Friend to Friend Rebecca M. Taylor and F. Press ESC to cancel. Ben Davis February 18, Is John the Baptist and the apostle John the same person? Who is the author of the book of John? Are there two different Johns in the Bible? This we say moreover because of the opinion mentioned above, where we record that it is declared by many that the last two epistles of John are the work not of the apostle but of the presbyter.
In other words, John the Presbyter wrote the second and third epistles. But Irenaeus, who lived earlier than Jerome and Eusebius, references 1 and 2 John and claims he is quoting the Apostle John. So what do we make of this? Some of the earliest references to the letters attribute them to the Apostle John, and church tradition has held him as the author ever since. Church tradition holds that John was the only apostle to die of old age.
The rest were martyred for their faith. When Mary died, John went to Ephesus and wrote his three epistles. Then he was exiled to Patmos for preaching the gospel, where he received the revelation from Christ and wrote the Book of Revelation. Eventually he made it back to Ephesus and died an ordinary death sometime after 98 AD. Tertullian, a Christian writer from the late second and early third century, wrote that before the Romans banished John, they brought him into a coliseum and dunked him in a vat of boiling oil.
When he emerged unharmed, the entire coliseum converted to Christianity. Throughout his later life, John also had some significant students. Polycarp who eventually became bishop of Smyrna learned from John and then taught Irenaeus. John taught Ignatius of Antioch as well, whom Peter eventually appointed as the bishop of Antioch.
And Papias of Hierapolis learned directly from John as well. The Apostle John is a well-known gospel figure. Passages from his writings have become our definition of God 1 John , and others have become so ubiquitous that even many non-Christians know them by heart. We may never know with absolute certainty how much the Apostle John wrote himself. Is this particular study of the Book of John in audio format kind of like your whiteboard videos?
Thank you again for all the work you put into this I am just blown away by the vast amount of wisdom and knowledge and work that it has gone into this by you. Following my last comment. Well, whatever happened, James was important enough for Herod to kill. When that made his subjects happy, he went after Peter, too. Acts —3. Thank you for the information of John the Apostle. I am curious that why John is always mentioned after Peter in the Book of Acts. Even in the Books of Mathew, Mark and Luke.
John is usually mention with other names, especially after Peter and James. It seems John is rarely mentioned alone. Hard to say and probably not terribly important. Good luck with your class! Who Was John the Apostle? For starters, here are some quick facts about this well-known biblical figure. Who was John? So it is extremely unlikely that the same person wrote all of these books.
The Gospel and letters do not name their author, or authors. But the shared style and terminology indicates that if these books are not by the same author, then they must be by authors who were part of a community that shared certain traditions and emphases.
However, J. According to Eusebius, Papias mentioned his efforts to find out what a variety of key figures, including John the apostle, said using the past tense , and also what Aristion and John the Elder say using the present tense. If this were the case, then the tradition that these works were written by someone named John would be correct, even if that person was not John the apostle.
