David Todd Christofferson (born January 24, 1945) is an American religious leader and former lawyer who serves as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). He has been a general authority of the church since 1993.
Paul the ApostleZenas the Lawyer (Ancient Greek: Ζηνᾶς) was a first-century Christian mentioned in Paul the Apostle's Epistle to Titus in the New Testament. In Titus 3:13, Paul writes: "Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them" (KJV).
For example, in the New Testament – particularly the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John – scribes were referred to as "lawyers." These "lawyers" were experts in the sacred Mosaic Law that was, in theory, the sole legislation both in civic and religious matters that governed the Jewish people.Nov 12, 1994
Paul is often considered to be the most important person after Jesus in the history of Christianity. His epistles (letters) have had enormous influence on Christian theology, especially on the relationship between God the Father and Jesus, and on the mystical human relationship with the divine.
Paul maintained that the law is part of the world of sin and the flesh, to which the Christian dies. But how could the law, which was given by the good God, be allied with sin and the flesh?
No, it isn't a sin to be a lawyer. Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
Jesus and Lawyers Rather, such lawyers were scribes. The scribes were a class of Jewish teachers specially learned in Mosaic Law. These lawyers interpreted that Law, called the Torah, and they taught it to the lay people. Hence, they were clergy.
His punishment is to be eternally crucified across the hypocrites' path, who eternally step on him. Caiaphas is mentioned throughout the works of William Blake as a byword for a traitor or Pharisee.
The Zealots were a political movement in 1st-century Second Temple Judaism which sought to incite the people of Judea Province to rebel against the Roman Empire and expel it from the Holy Land by force of arms, most notably during the First Jewish–Roman War (66–70).
Ananias of DamascusLater, in a vision to Ananias of Damascus, "the Lord" referred to him as "Saul, of Tarsus". When Ananias came to restore his sight, he called him "Brother Saul". In Acts 13:9, Saul is called "Paul" for the first time on the island of Cyprus – much later than the time of his conversion.
AnaniasSaul is baptized by Ananias and called Paul. Men carry a cripple since birth and set him on the steps. Christ commands Ananias to find Saul and give him sight so that he can preach of Christ.
PeterFollowing the arrest of Jesus, Peter denied knowing him three times, but after the third denial, he heard the rooster crow and recalled the prediction as Jesus turned to look at him. Peter then began to cry bitterly. This final incident is known as the Repentance of Peter.
