Does it matter which of the Gospel writers wrote first?

JP Staff Writer 1996Jan01 Blog Leave a Comment

Papias said Matthew wrote first. Someone else said Mark wrote first. Lindsey said Luke wrote first. Does it matter? Why can’t we just accept that the four gospel writers were four independent individual persons used by God to write one complete Gospel?

The Tetragrammaton

David N. Bivin 1995Oct01 Blog Leave a Comment

Regarding your article “‘Jehovah’—A Christian Misunderstanding” that appeared in the November-December 1991 issue of Jerusalem Perspective, you indicate that Galatinus gave the Church “Jehovah” as a misnomer for the name of God (p. 6). It is my understanding that this happened much earlier.

I am depressed by the situation of Jewish women!

Chana Safrai [1946-2008] & Joseph Frankovic 1995Jul01 Blog 1 Comment

How did women express their spirituality? Did they have any power?

Why does Jerusalem Perspective use the Greek name “Jesus” instead of “Y’shua” or “Yeshua”?

David N. Bivin 1991Jan01 About JP, Blog, FAQs 1 Comment

We use the spelling “Jesus” simply because that’s the way the name is written in English.

Why does Jerusalem Perspective avoid using the term “Old Testament”?

JP Staff Writer 1990Mar01 About JP, Blog, FAQs Leave a Comment

It is not just in deference to Jewish sensitivities that we avoid “Old Testament,” but because we feel that for the Christian as well the term misrepresents the document.
