How long was the apostle Paul's ministry?

if only people had this much interest in Jesus' ministry.

I don't believe that Paul wrote "the word of God."\n\nHowever many do.  Certainly  St Irenius did when he put the Bible together.  Certainly the Catholic Council or Rome did when they included it in the official cannon.

ROFLMAO!  That's 89.5 minutes too long.  Trask, you work wayyyy too hard.  Most pastors put in 15 minutes and call it a week.

Paul's passages about women in ministry need to be read in context. \n\nAt the time, women rarely got the opportunity to learn to read, let alone study scripture, and they weren't allowed to ask questions in the temple. How much credibility would a woman have leading a congregation if she'd never read the Torah or any of the prophets, or if she'd never been able to discuss theology with a priest? \n\nPaul didn't expressly forbid it - there were females in ministry in his day whom he addresses warmly in his letters, so obviously it can't be taken to mean all women.

disagree. for paul could not of done this;  Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior was an exceptionally significant figure on a very imperative mission during His first coming.\n\nAt the outset, Jesus’ mission written of in the New Testament, was predominantly predicted through prophecy in the Old Testament. Thus we can conclude that one of the reasons why Jesus came to earth and put on flesh was to fulfill prophecy. But what did He teach? What was the purpose of His mission? What prophecies did He fulfill? \n\n\nSinners to Repentance\n\nJesus Christ first revealed He was on a mission (sent by the Father) when He was a young boy at the age of twelve in his hometown of Nazareth (Luke 2:42 & 49).\n\nThe foundation of Jesus’ mission was the message He repeatedly conveyed during His delegation on earth which was “repentance.” “Repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 3:2). Jesus Christ was on an essential mission to allow mankind the opportunity to convert from our habitual sinful nature into virtuous, just beings. He came to earth to open the eyes of the spiritually blind, teaching the subject of repentance to be the initial provision for eternal salvation. \n\nIn Luke 5:32 Jesus states, “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” After the death of Jesus, His disciples, beginning with Peter, steadfastly preached the doctrine of repentance to the men and woman of Judea and the inhabitants of Jerusalem (Acts 2:38).\n\n\nAccess to the Kingdom of God\n\nJesus Christ was present on earth preaching the gospel of the Kingdom at a time and location where masses of people, predominately the Israelites, were under the notion they would be saved, and justified by the Law of Moses. \n\nIn John 14:6, Jesus candidly professed to the people there is only one manner in which to obtain eternal salvation and access to God the Father, and that way was through Him. By the will of the Father, (John 12:49) Jesus made several declarations He was indeed the Messiah and the world’s “key to salvation.” “I am the bread of life” (John 6:48-51). “I am the vine” (John 14:15). “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved…” (John 10:9).\n\nWe are not justified by the law, circumcision, or the sacrificing of animals. We are justified by Jesus Christ’s shed blood and by our good deeds according to His will. Specific provisions for eternal salvation can be found in John 3:5, where Jesus taught the disciples one must be baptized by water and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (after one has repented) in order to gain access to the Kingdom of God. \n\n\nJesus Came to Die for the World \n\n“For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life” (Romans 5:10)! These are the righteous words form the Apostle Paul, instructing us that indeed we have been reunited with God through the gracious sacrifice of Jesus Christ.\n\nJesus’ death propitiated God’s wrath against mankind for our multitude of sins (Hebrews 2:17, Romans 3:25). We know by the testament of the apostle Peter (2 Peter 3:9) that it is not God’s will that any souls should perish, but that all should repent and be saved. Therefore Jesus, full of grace and benevolence, ordained by the Father, came down to earth to pay the death penalty (a penalty mankind could not afford to pay, 1 Corinthians 15:3) and to reconcile us to God by purifying our souls with His shed blood (1 John 1:7). “For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).\n\nWe can now be justified in the sight of God by the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son (Romans 5:9). Justification is legal acquittal from damnation by God, our judge, in which He pronounces sinners as righteous subsequent to their repentance and acceptance of Jesus as their personal savior.\n\nJ

Read:\n  1 Corinthians 8:5-7 (first Corinthians 8th chapter, verses 5 through 7) \n\nno disrespect intended.

Yes, several times. 2 chapters of the Christian Old Testament and 1 chapter of the New Testament daily get you through it in a year easy. Numbers? Yeah. How did I get through it? I endured being bored. ;-)

I think that the bible uses the word "days" to give us a frame of reference and does not actually mean "days" like we think of them, as in the 8 to 12 hour period of sunlight between dark periods.  I think that it means that god had 6 periods of work that were interrupted by 6 periods of contemplation.

I remember this verse from theology classes.  I believe that there are some schools of thought that believe that Jesus ministry was directed more to the Jews.  And in fact he never ministered outside Judea.  He told his follows to ministry to gentiles but this wasn't his mission while on earth apparently.  Well maybe, maybe not.  It is an interesting passage thought isn't it.\n\nHe did spend a lot of time getting mad at the way the Temple was being run so you could assume that those were the lost sheep of the house of Israel I suppose.

Each California mission was about a day's travel between each other by foot or horse. There are two missions between San Diego and Los Angeles (San Luis Rey and San Juan Capistrano). That in mind, the travel time took approximately two to three days depending on the speed of the coach and how many stops it makes.. \n\nIronically, that trip can take longer today due to the traffic on the I-5 through San Diego, Orange, and Los Angeles Counties. ;-)

Jesus came to Saul (later Paul) on the road to Damascus because Saul was going around persecuting and killing Christians for the Pharisees.  Jesus asked Saul "Why are you persecuting me?" to make Saul think about what he was doing and Who Jesus really was.  The encounter was the turning point in Paul's life where he accepted Jesus as the Messiah and as his personal Savior.  God chose Paul to be an Apostle.  God knew the heart of Paul and what he would do when confronted by the truth.  \n\nHowever, for the sake of argument, if Paul had decided not to accept the free gift of salvation, Christianity would still have flourished - because it is of God, not of man.

Paul is the chosen vessel of the gentiles..................\n\notherwise...\ntoss out the new testament.............

I think Paul deemed himself an apostle after his encounter with Jesus.The one where Jesus told him to go to Damascus.That encounter made such an impression on him that he later qualified himself as an apostle...the highest office in the church..which was reserved for the disiples who had personally known Jesus. I think it was around AD 35.I'm no authority...but I've been reading alot lately.

That was another thing that Paul added towards Christianity.

I read this:\n"Paul described himself as an Israelite of the tribe of Benjamin, circumcised on the eighth day, a Pharisee (Rom 11:1; Phil 3:5), and of the "Jews' religion . . . more exceedingly zealous of the traditions" (Gal 1:14 KJV). He was born as Saul in Tarsus of Cilicia and received a Jewish education. Acts records that Paul was a Roman citizen—a privilege he used a number of times in his defence, appealing convictions in Judea to Rome (Acts 22:25 and 27–29).+The common assumption is that Paul was never married. According to Acts 22:3, Paul studied in Jerusalem under the Rabbi Gamaliel, well known in Paul's time. Thomas Robinson depicts Paul as coming to study in Jerusalem under Gamaliel, when Shammai became Nasi of the Sanhedrin, and during the rise to supremacy of the house of Shammai from 20. However, some scholars, such as Helmut Koester, have expressed doubts that Paul either was in Jerusalem at this time or studied under this famous rabbi. Paul supported himself during his travels and while preaching—a fact he alludes to a number of times (e.g., 1 Cor 9:13–15); according to Acts 18:3, he worked as a tentmaker. According to Romans 16:2, he had a patroness (Koine Greek προστάτις prostatis) named Phoebe."\n\nNobody say how  Paul obtain Roman citizenship. All variant are open.\nMaybe we can study the secret archive of Vatican........

Christ spent only 3 years teaching......So most probably he just laid a good foundation for the future....It is the spirit of truth that reminds and teaches us about God
