Matt. Ch. 1-2
Posted: Sat Apr 24, 2010 1:50 am
Please excuse my unfamiliarity with the nature of forums, and also my understanding of the bible. I just had my 2nd birthday as new creation in Christ, last month. I love studying my bible but I find it somewhat frustrating because the more I study it, the more questions I have! So here are my first few questions; Where did Matthew get the information to write chapter 1 starting at Jesus' birth through chapter 2 especially details like what the angel said to Joseph(Matt. 2:13). Also, what about Christ's ministry prior to Matthew being called by Jesus. Did he interview eyewitnesses like Luke did or may he have been a witness himself to the sermon on the mount or the paralytic healing? Thanks so much -Ryan
