Bartholomew was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, and is usually identified with Nathanael, mentioned only in the Gospel of John. Bartholomew (Greek: Βαρθολομαίος, transliterated "Bartholomaios") comes from the Aramaic bar-Tôlmay (תולמי-בר), meaning son of Tolmay (Ptolemy) or son of the furrows (perhaps a ploughman). Based on this meaning, many have assumed it was not a given name, but a family name. The festival of St Bartholomew is celebrated on August 24 in the western Church and on June 11 in the Eastern churches. The Armenian Apostolic Church honours Saint Bartholomew, along with Jude the Apostle (a.k.a. Thaddeus), as its patron saint. The Coptic Church remembers him on January 1. The festival in August has been a traditional occasion for markets and fairs, such as the Bartholomew Fair held in Smithfield, London since the Middle Ages that served as the scene for Ben Jonson's homonymous comedy (1614).

Q. Do Christians believe/follow/accept/adh ere Old Testament? Jesus orders Christians to follow the Law of Moses in the Old Testament: "Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to abolish the Law (Old Testament) or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 19:17-78 states: Now someone approached him and said, "Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?" He answered him, "Why do you ask me about the good? There is only One who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." For Christians, Jesus fulfilled the Law of Moses. Christians are not held to the ceremonial parts of the Mosaic Law concerning of dietary purity, temple worship and sacrifices. Christians are held to the moral law of God, some of which is expressed in the Ten Commandments. However Jesus took the Ten Commandments to the next step summarizing them into the two Great Commandments: You shall love the Lord your God with all your… [cont.] Answered by imacatholic2 - Wed Jul 8 15:01:55 2009 What is apocrypha in the Holy Bible?

I see that after all these months you still have nothing better than the copy/paste. Of course if my english was as bad as yours I would use other peoples' work too, if only to avoid embarrassing myself. For the record, you need to differentiate between "Apocrypha" and "apocryphal". The Apocrypha is a very distinct collection of books in the OLD Testament of the Catholic church that are not in the OLD Testament of Protestant churches. Apocryphal books are any historical or theological books with presumed Christian or Jewish origins that the church feels were (for whatever reason) not divinely inspired. get your facts straight!

Q. That all these men were tortured horribly and gave their lives for a magic trick? Would anyone do this for David Blaine? Matthew suffered martyrdom in Ethopia, killed by a sword wound. Mark died in Alexandria, Egypt, dragged by horses through the streets until he was dead. Luke was hanged in Greece as a result of his tremendous preaching to the lost. John was boiled in a huge basin of boiling oil during a wave of persecution in Rome. However, he was miraculously delivered from death. John was then sentenced to the mines on the prison island of Patmos where he wrote his prophetic Book of Revelation. The Apostle John was later freed and returned to serve as a bishop in modern Turkey. He died an old man, the only Apostle to die… [cont.] Asked by Dawn - Sat Feb 21 01:12:15 2009 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A.

Not in Israel or any of the countries of supposed origin but entirely Italian!! Not one word of it is contemporary with the period and was not written until many years after the period the story is set in!!
