Spottykay

Is your father an indigene of Osun?

Spottykay

Mr Paul

That's nice; My Parents are both from Ilawe-Ekiti: A town that is about 10-kilometers away from Ado-Ekiti.

The Great Commission: Go into the world, preach to unbelievers and make them disciples, baptising them in the name of the Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.

Mr Paul

Yes, that is the greatest commission- Matthew 28:19,20; Mark 16:15.

Sir-Phil

It wasnt just a commission, but a command which every Christian is ibliged to.

Spottykay

but how many are capable of preaching these day because its hard to win a soul now adays

Mr Paul

@Spottykay, our own is to obey and God is the one to convert them; but we must preach to them and pray for them.

Sir-Phil

Play your part, and leave the rest for God.

Mr Paul

There was a hot persecution against the disciples because of the preaching of the gospel. Remember, Apostle Paul was imprisoned and later killed with a sword; the christians were scattered abroad and Roman government began to arrest the believers, putting them in prison and killing them.
All of the early church believers were killed by the persecutors, except only one of them, who died naturally.
Now, who can answer this question?
Who among the disciples of Jesus (among the Apostles), died natural death?

Sir-Phil

It was John. An attempt was made to kill him via boiling oil but was not successful. He was later thrown into The Island of Patmos where he wrote the Book of Revelation.

Mr Paul

Alright; you score 70%.
Five people are bearing the name, John in the Bible; so you need to differentiate by saying John, the son of Zebedee.
And when did he die?

Sir-Phil

I cant clearly state when he died, thanks for the addition. But neither did you also state clearly that you were referring to the twelve disciples!

Mr Paul

You are welcome; and when did he die?

Sir-Phil

70AD I think.

Mr Paul

It's 100 AD; He died in Ephesus.

Sir-Phil

I'll never forget that. The old man lived a fulfilled life then

Spottykay

is ephesus and ephesian the same

Mr Paul

No, Ephesus is the town, while Ephessians are the people from the town.
As in Nigeria and Nigerians.

Spottykay

okay it's now clear

Mr Paul

Who can answer this:
Who wrote the book, "Acts Of The Apostles"?
Give your answer with proof.

Spottykay

I'm not sure but before asking for proof i think it's by the disciples of jesus

Sir-Phil

It was written by St. Luke, arround 80-90AD.
Sure I do deserve some coins too Paul, I cant be putting on these impressive performances for nothing LOL!
Just kidding.

Spottykay

@sir phil now you are saying you need no coins and what this means is that you are piling the coin it's better you'd say your mind now because i see nothing in just kiding kidney

Sir-Phil

If you send any coins, I'll send them back to you. If you think am kidding, try it!
