Last month, September, I compelled myself to read the book of Romans, apostle Paul’s longest epistle and magnum opus. It was arguably the best book of the Bible I ever read. I came off it with a considerably enlightened understanding of what Christ did for humankind via His death on the Cross and consequent resurrection. And this understanding I gained, as I proceeded in my daily study, kept me urging the brothers in the house I was staying to study Romans. But then, a day came in which, as I skimmed over the final verses of the last chapter, my eyes fell on a pronouncement that got me wondering whether or not Paul was the actual writer of Romans. It said: ‘I Tertius, who wrote this epistle , salute you in the Lord.’ I read that verse in a mix of surprise, confusion and shock. For a long moment I mulled over this obvious contradiction. The Introduction to Romans printed in my Preacher’s Bible claimed that Paul wrote the epistle. And, from the first verse of Romans, one could almost hear Paul’s familiar voice as words poured out (of his mouth and onto the pages of the Scripture) in first person pronoun ‘I’. So I was left pondering: Paul I knew, but who was this Tertius? Tertius, I would later find out, was an editor employed to write Romans as Paul dictated the words. People like Tertius, in those days, were called amanuenses or scribes (γραφέας in Greek). Amanuenses could be likened to modern day copy editors. They were employed for two major reasons: (i) they were good editors; and (ii) their handwritings were small and legible, which reduced the cost of having to purchase several rolls of expensive parchments—animal skins flattened out to the thickness of some modern papers. ‘St. John the Evangelist’, a painting by Andrei Rublev, depicts St. John dictating to a scribe. Now, we should understand something crucial about amanuenses. In the case of people like Tertius, amanuenses had no right to infringe the content of an epistle. They could make grammatical corrections and help in arranging a letter, but they cannot add anything of theirs such as content, perception, interpretation, idea or name. They wrote only what they were told; they wrote another person’s words. Of the four amanuenses that Paul employed in writing some of his epistles (I Corinthians, Galatians, Colossians, II Thessalonians), only Tertius was permitted to include his name. Why? Probably because he was a disciple of Christ. In modern times, amanuenses of Christian writing, like Tertius, could be likened to copy editors. Using epistles such as Romans as a yardstick for their writing prowess, one would see that amanuenses are far behind and grossly incapable. They are people who write books today but lack the spiritual insight needed in writing something as noteworthy as Romans. They are mental writers: they write from their heads, from their knowledge of grammar, literature and theology. They write out of intuition, not out of revelation. To them is not the gift of revelation given. Amanuenses are ardent readers. They read almost everything that comes their way. They memorise long passages and are capable of quoting from head. They glory in their ability to retain what they’ve read, in their ability to be theologically sound and correct. They are people who find it difficult to read spiritual books. Any book that focuses on spiritual living is useless to them. Yes, they could spend their time reading and deciphering philosophy, a soulical exercise. But to withdraw into the spiritual, a world wherein they have to wait before a God Who speaks only when He wants to, is difficult for them to do. Any book that is not theologically and grammatically sound is not on the reading list of amanuenses. They look down on books whose vocabulary and sentence structures are ‘too’ simple. They are after eloquent, scholarly and high-sounding writing. When they enter a bookstore, they go for books published by big names, books with flashy, embossed covers and prim designs. Any book that is not fat-spine and does not have a blurb or commentary from another big name/writer does not worth their time. Needless to say, amanuenses characteristically wear glasses. They could otherwise be called intellectuals, or nerds. Yes, they could possess some knowledge of the Scripture, and might be capable of expounding Biblical matters in their writings. They could write Bible Study outlines, articles of faith, and Christian books (mostly monographs and commentaries). In fact they could write popular Christian books and bestsellers by virtue of their gifts, talents and writing prowess. They could, like most Nobel laureates, make a household name of themselves. But the major characteristic of their writing is lack of life. Their writings lack life. You cannot return to them again and again and always come off with fresh encounters. God cannot speak to your spirit or grant you deliverance through their writings. No matter how good, well-crafted and grammatically sound whatever they write are, no matter how entertaining their writings are, they fail to transform lives. Their writings are not, for the most part, inspired and effected by God. They may get published by the biggest publishers in town, yes. But since they’re not written, proofread, edited and sealed (published) by the Holy Spirit of promise, they are just mere books and will always be. One blogger noted that, when Paul dictated the book of Romans to Tertius (c. 7,000+ words), Tertius was bound to make a few scribal errors even though he was a professional scribe because he was not inspired by God nor moved along by the Holy Spirit. So an amanuensis is an intermediary between the God-ordained, God- inspired writer and the writing page. Such a person lack a direct connection to God. The Scribal Process: From God, to an author, to a scribe, to the page. It is true that most men who turned out to become the greatest Christian writers also started this way, writing another person’s words at the start of their careers. But they did not stop there. They sought God in prayer, with tears and groanings, for the release of divine inspiration. These were men who said: ‘I will never write a single book unless it is God initiating it, unless He himself is ready to write it.’ They were not men who wrote books because a crucial social issue was ongoing and a book was needed to be written to address the matter. They did not write because they needed money, or for fame, or because they had talent, or because, as pastors or theologians or evangelists, they just had to write. They were men who waited for the voice of God to say: ‘Write the vision, make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it!’ Besides being recognized as the amanuensis of Romans, historical findings claim that Tertius was among the Seventy disciples Jesus sent out in Luke 10 to preach the gospel. He was also, at a time, Bishop of Iconium. But all we know is that his name only appears once in the Scripture, in Romans 16:22, where, under the guise of greeting the disciples at Rome, he boldly asserts himself to be the writer of the voluminous and deeply spiritual Epistle to the Romans. ‘I Tertius … edited this epistle,’ he supposed to have written to us. ♦ 63 copied from the medium.com |
AkinwaleJJ:the case of rahab is not the law LORD JESUS CHRIST said will be fulfilled in him..so your qoutation of that scripture is useless..GOODNIGTH SIR |
AkinwaleJJ:pls sir,why do you need to qoute old testament to verify the new convenant. pls sir pay attention to what our LORD JESUS CHRIST SAID,exult it high...he said the word that i speak unto you are spirit and life...your life will be transformed forever ..AMEN |
AkinwaleJJ:verily, verily I say unto you if a man is not born of water and of the spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven, |
ken4christ may God prune you to become more fruitful in his vineyard.Amen.. I also practiced religion until by the grace of Christ I became truthful to myself. . if you want to know someone practicing religion ,they don't believe the scripture that says ,you will be perfect as your heavenly father is perfect... The problem starts when many preacher will preach repentance and holiness without talking about being born again,which means spiritual rebirth.. the way religious houses preach born again,is why many people.. try to live holy by human fleshly effort and call it being born again. . The irony is that it will always fail.. the lust(nature) is still in the heart and have not been removed.. many people think one has sinned until the action had been carried out, no right from the time it's conceived in the heart the sin has been committed. . I also struggled until I asked God for help me to live holy, I hungered for his holy spirit. . and I was Baptisted after persistent seeking in my bedroom for months..I gave God the glory. .. all we need to do is just ditch religion and surrender to the ministry of the holyspirit..which is absence in many religious houses. maxindhouse over to you. |
AkinwaleJJ:Namecalling even when you're explaining the scripture. by your fruit you've been identified. |
Im tired of people discussing fornication with zero conscience and lot of excitement., when God said dont fornicate its for our good...sin affect oneself and and others,because we are connected like a spider web..anytin happenin on one line of the web affect the whole web somehow..,sinful men fornicate with girls and women,that are the future wifes of their fellow men,but they are worried about the body count of their partner, that hypocrisy at its peak..the cycles goes spreading unfaithfulness among mankind....REPENT AND SURRENDER TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. DONT DIE A SINNER. |
The God that permitted creatures in the temple knew that what will differentiate the place of worship and an ordinary hall is the edifice which images and paintings will speak more of. So the church in her wisdom used it to explain better a church than a concert hall where you people call a church. EXAMPLE, Jesus christ told his disciples to pray for daily bread(eating everyday) and also fasted for 40days and night. So you won't tell me that Jesus is contradicting his own words. And the church in her wisdom made it like you fast in the day and break in the night or you fast for sometimes. I'm in Kwara state presently and there's this protestants GO who died and people are all putting his obituary posters on there vehicles, so does ......chijeep what indicate a place is a temple of God is the spirit of God that dwells.. so putting craven image by what you stay here is for them to visualise, so to put induce a kind of believe,this is manipulations sponsored by the devil not God,faith is not by sight.cannot fully explain the gravity of the abomination . so the Catholic Church can't rely on God to manifest his presence through his spirit. ... why is that ,BECAUSE THE DON'T KNOW HIM... |
Chijeep:your wallowing in deceit with what you write up here , you not only deceived ,you are also wallowing in self deceit I want to ask you a question is it loyalty to christ or loyalty to a denomination... but it's actually rhetorical questions, your response here shows the latter...smiles, I was once in your shoes. I also argued blindly.. I know it's hurt,but I will tell the truth over and over again. .. let me inform you, reason Catholic Church quickly gain ground in other places of the world is that Nigeria for example people worshipped idols at home ,when they come to cathedral see different kind of dumb craven images ,they say it's the same thing just this one is modernised. .it gave room for them to continue in thier idolatry... they come to Catholic church ,and see modernised paganism which is true.. I'M PRAYING FOR YOU SO THAT YOUR EYES BE OPENED. SO THAT YOU ENCOUNTER THE LORD JESUS CHRIST THAT THE BONDAGE OF RELIGION BE BROKEN FOREVER IN YOUR LIFE. .. THAT YOU COME INTO THE REALITY OF GOD ,WHERE HIS WORSHIPPERS, WORSHIPPED HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. .BECAUSE THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD...AMEN. |
Chijeep:catholism is a mixture of old covenant and idolatry.. I initially wanted to quote exodus 20 ,where God gave mosses the temple commandments,but since that you claim only the old testament talked about idols,that shows you are not reading the Bible.john 5 verse 21 little children, keep yourselves from idols . 1 Thessalonians 9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; teaching about idols is so much even in the new testament, go and read them.. the reason why I said new testament is that so that you can encounter the Lord JESUS CHRIST for real..I was born a Catholic and I will thank the Lord and praise him for ever for opening my eyes and saving me from the bondage of religion. .I discovered all those carry rosary around is not prayer to God...it's not your fault to be born Catholic but it's your fault to die without seeking the truth, also ignoring those who God sent to tell you the truth. John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. pray in the name of Jesus Christ alone. John 4:23-24 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. go and read exodus 20,it's a terrible thing that the Catholic Church are doing,there is no where in the Bible God told to make dumb images to represent ,anyone that practice such doesn't know christ. |
Chijeep:Go back and go through it one more time,enough of lying just to win an argument... Or maybe you have problem with comprehension...why is that: because you don't want to listen anyone,you read to fight back in argument..that foolishness...pick up your bible read mathew,luke,mark,John,James.. in short the new testament...I will always stand and speak the truth... This day will witness against you that you were told and warned...I've done my part in the love of Christ Jesus. |
Chijeep:You claim you know the bible, Let me put to notice that the kingdom of God is not for those who know the bible cover to cover ,but those who do the will of the father written thereof day by day... You didn't pay attention to the deep matters of the kingdom,but on superficial things you argue day and night.. If you're a doer of the word of God,you won't stay comfortable where theres reverence to a graven image ,which thd. Lord abmolish ,we've been warned so much about.. If you're of God you won't practice idolatry in any form or guise. With your vain arguments I see someone that love and maketh a liar.. The kingdom of heaven is not for those who make lies,and those who love and pratronize it...you attention should be drawn to the idolatry and read your bible to know the truth...not defend the lies of the devil. Every gathering that is not of God,will be brought to judgement by Christ. |
