I know it's coming; the dead in Christ will rise first, then those who are alive will be caught up with Jesus.\nHe surely is.

Are you sure they knew nothing of it?  Also, are you sure that the Pharisees knew that he would rise from the dead?  Otherwise, why would they put guards at the tomb if they thought he would really rise.  I think the Pharisees thought someone would remove him from the tomb.  And I think his disciples didn't really know what "rise" meant.

It seems to me you answered your own question-the Apostle Paul.

God is not going to ask us anything he's either going to say Well done thy faithful servant enter in or he's going to say Depart from me you worker of iniquity. Read St. Matthew Chapter 25 about the talents.

remember what the apostles of the Lord Jesus foretold?  they said to you, in the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.\n\nthere will be hypocrites who divide up the Church.  disorder.. and spiritual death.  'tis here in these days.\n\nthere are people who say "where is this `coming' he promised? ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning.."\n\nwhere is love and compassion?  I have looked all around and see very little love at all.  I mostly see deception and confusion.. and the people who deny it.  when the truth is told people desire to cover their ears.. they close their minds and hearts.. or either their hearts are so veiled.. they can't see and understand.\n\nsome occurrences happen to harden people even more.. little do they know about what is happening.  why?  they walk in the darkness.. stumbling along.. because they cannot see behind the scenes.  there is a great scheme.  only a few people see and recognize what is happening in this world around us.\n\nlittle things as the Da vinci code appear harmless to so many.. yet it is a tiny piece of corruption to aid much bigger corruption in the future.  \n\na little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.

no way to find out - all the disciples were asleep at 3am.

This passage has gotten a lot of attention over the years - It seems everyone knows this passage - whether they know anything else about the Bible or not!\nMany (most?) overlook the fact that this command does not stand alone. Paul had already given this command for silence twice in the same passage - once applied to those who speak in tongues, and once to the prophets, and finally to the women. In all three cases, a close examination of the original language will show that the exact same words are used each time, however, most translations render it differently for the command to women.\nIn these three verses, "be silent" had to do with taking turns. It is not a unilateral command to for all time - it is a call for order and direction; for the proper use of the giftings God has bestowed on the various members of the church.\n\nPaul was making sure that women were not left out of the church! He knew that they were at a disadvantage in the culture, with little (closer to NO) opportunity for education. Paul sought to eradicate that, so that by their husband's instruction, they could function as peers. This might seem like a small thing today, but at that time it was HUGE. Even while he was correcting the chaos of the church, he was providing a way for the women to better themselves. His words were not harsh authoritarianism, relegating women to to some narrow role. On the contrary, they were opening new doors of opportunity for those who society had excluded and ingnored.\nClose examination of other Scriptures will reveal that Paul considered, Chloe, Priscilla, Stephana, and Phoebe, to be Annointed by God to leadership positions withing the church.\nPriscilla instructed Apollos, and neither Luke, nor Paul criticized this fact.\nThere is considerable evidence to suggest that Priscilla could have been the writer of the book of Hebrews.\nPaul even mentions pointedly that Phoebe was a deacon of the church in Chencrea.

Matthew 24:36 - "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."\n\nMatthew 25:13 - "Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh."\n\nJesus told us there is no way of knowing exactly when He will return, but he gave us some signs:\n\nMatthew 24:3-12 - "And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold."\n\nWatch the news; this is happening right now. I believe it will be soon, but no one can put a date or time on it. To say you can is to call Jesus a liar.

6. i know "thou shalt see me at philippi" was just kind of foretelling what was going to happen.  When the ghost came in, if i recall correctly, he had said many things that were going to happen in the near future.  That was one of them.  \n\n9. I'm pretty sure it was Antony because his final speech to the crowd got everyone to turn on the conspirators.

"Mystery" means hidden.  And the way to solve a mystery is to unhide what is hidden!\n\nJesus said, "SEEK, and you shall find" (Matthew 7:7).\n\nAnd he said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all these things are done in parables:  That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them."  (Mark 4:11-12)\n\n"But SEEK you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness..."  (Matthew 6:33)\n\n"There came Joseph of Arimathaea, a councillor of honorable estate, who also himself was LOOKING FOR THE KINGDOM of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus."  (Mark 15:43)\n\nSo, if you want to know the mystery, seek it out!

St. Paul preached the NT-----this is not part of the Bible (the Holy Scriptures). I will stick to those writings in the Holy Scriptures, thank you.

:}\nThe reference you mentioned is in Acts 23:16\n\n" And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul."\n\nIt is the only reference in scripture of Paul's immediate family. one might speculate that Pall's sister had married , perhaps a dignitary from Jerusalem, which would explain why this young man was there rather than Tarsus, and why he had access to the castle
