  there are good reasons to belief that paul wrote hebrews.

  i am convinced he wrote it.

  is there any any convincing evidence or argument that can validate the belief?.

  Thank you again TD for your posts. You always give something of value like the Greek comparison between Rev and Hebrews.

  Those aren’t reasons, they are speculation.

  They are not speculations.They are reasons.

  Just before Paul was baptized and commissioned for his work, the Lord Jesus said to Ananias: “This man [Paul] is a chosen vessel to me to bear my name to the nations as well as to kings and the sons of Israel.” (Acts 9:15; Gal. 2:8, 9) The writing of the book of Hebrews was truly in line with Paul’s commission to bear the name of Jesus to the sons of Israel.

  It stands to reason that God would use Paul to write Hebrews. —Obviously if the Bible is a sham, it doesn’t matter. But given the authenticity of the Bible that all scripture is inspired, it is very reasonable to conclude that Paul is the writer.

  Paul may have deliberately omitted his name in writing to the Hebrews in Judea, since his name had been made an object of hatred by the Jews there. —Acts 21:28

  The writer of Hebrews was in Italy and was associated with Timothy. These facts fit Paul. —Heb. 13:23, 24

  Does anybody ever wonder why ?

  supposedly, god jehovah, el , or whatever else he may have been called many thousands of years ago, or so the storys goes ,dealt with humans on a regular basis communicating with them for either good or bad.according to how they pleased him or displeased him.. so the bible record says.. how is it that god , jehovah or whatever other name you want to call him has not communicated with humans on any level for the past 2000 years ???.

  in this scientific ,technological age ,wouldn`t you think this would be the time he would communicate with the potential dangers we face in potentially destroying ourselves and ruining the planets wildlife unless he interveined ?.

  that`s if you even beleive that such a god actually exists .. and if he does why so silent in this day and age,?.

  And if he does why so silent in this day and age,

  Another good one, smiddy. In brief, he does communicate with people today.

  When Jesus converted water into wine, how many people realized what he did ? When a voice from heaven spoke saying this is my son the beloved, how many people heard the voice and the words and not some thunder or some noise? Another example is when Peter cut off the ear of the slave of the high priest, how many people realized that Jesus put it back? That is why the scriptures read: “the kingdom of God is in your midsts” and, “go subduing in the midsts of your enemies” and, “they listen but they do not hear.” God spoke in the past like an elephant in plain sight and people didn’t hear him. —-The same thing today. “ If you people this day had discerned the things having to do with peace, but now it has been secretly hidden from your eyes/ears” That’s how God does things.

  will the great tribulation hurt individuals more than what job, jesus, roman punishment, naz&i germany, hiroshima, jail, capital punishment, disease, pain, terror, horror, soldier in the battlefield or some terrible pain people experience this very moment?

  how worse can pain and suffering get.

  it is very common.

  Zane, flooding the thread with the entire article doesn’t give it more weight. A reference to it suffices. Also it’s only commentary and because it specifically describes THE doesn’t invalidate that Jesus also prophesied about it. Early christians may have concluded that 70 was the fulfillment of Jesus prophecy referring to tribulation but since Revelation which was written after written after 70 also refers to a tribulation, namely the great tribulation that would is explain that JC would not return in kingdom power in 70 —“…and what will be the sign of your parousia.”

  1st centurygreat tribulation in Matthew as being the same as the one in Revelation. To do so totally dismisses his guarantee

  Not only Mathew but in all three gospels. These also describe events such as separation of sheep and goats and miraculous signs in the heavens and seeing the son if man, etc.. These events did not transpire in 70. Jesus reference to not occurring again obviously refers to the great tribulation before Armageddon but Jesus was also foretelling the fall of Jerusalem and the great tribulation Jews would experience. That tribulation was not worldwide so the book of Rev also adds features and events to the greater fulfillment of the prophecy as JW interprets it. 2 great tribulations are involved: the one involved Jerusalem and the involving all of mankind and we at JW see they are parallel —and reasonably ironically, and poetically, Jesus was referencing both in the same prophecy as JW see it.
