No. The epistle to the Hebrews does not contain any insinuations. There are 5 distinct warnings in this book originally given to the ekklesia in Rome to counter the subverting of the Gospel by Judaisers, but applicable to Christians everywhere at any time. Give heed to what is spoken...

Sometimes people don't realise they are enslaved. Beholding to Egypt for anything is a metaphor of spiritual bondage. Hope I get a good grade on this . . . Gen 15:13-14 Then He said to Abram: "Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve...

You would think that sufficient to discard the suggestion that Jesus was speaking of something future. (What did you see in the future, Jesus.?) (I saw Myself crucified, and another Zecharias murdered. ) My preference is this guy: Zec 1:1 In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the...

When is our assignment on this due?

Yes. Josephus gives us some valuable insights into Jewish history. I'm thinking that being a righteous man called Zechariah is hazardous to health. 69AD so after the statement by Jesus, who is thought to have been prophesying by some commentators. CHAPTER 5. THE CRUELTY OF THE IDUMEANS WHEN...

The year would be 69AD, just before the fall of Jerusalem in 70AD. This Zechariah gets into the mix as a suggestion that Jesus prophecied it. The point I want to make is that the written Old Testament was not the only source of historical material at the time Jesus walked the earth, and from...

They did have historians, and a very strong oral tradition, especially of family, clan, and tribal history. You might ask how Josephus accumulated so much material, including his reference to one Zacharias, the son of Baruch, who was slain in the middle of the temple, just before the siege of...

I dunno. Maybe he got murdered before he could record it. . . :unsure:

the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, “In essentials, unity. In doubtful questions, liberty. In all things, charity.” Eph 4:1-3 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, (2) with all lowliness and...

We are His body . . . Eph 4:10-16 He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.) (11) And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, (12) for the equipping of the saints for...

Seems right. Obviously Joseph of Arimathea heard enough to convince him. The word translated disciple is mathētēs in the Greek. What's in a name . .? Mat 27:57 Now when evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. Mar...

(WEB) Psa 1:1-6 Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers; (2) but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night. (3) He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water...

Psa 107:23-30 Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters, (24) They see the works of the LORD, And His wonders in the deep. (25) For He commands and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up the waves of the sea. (26) They mount up to the heavens, They go down...

THE PROMOTION OF SPIRITUAL LIFE AND GROWTH AMONGST WHOSOEVER WILL BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST

If that is true when do the genealogies mentioned in the Bible, including Christ's earthly ancestory, transition from being allegorical to literal?

The trustworthy one. Theistic Evolutionists propose millions of years of random mutations and physical death prior to the arrival of human beings, and then claim only spiritual death is the punishment and curse for sin. The Bible dispels this notion, especially in Romans 8:23, speaking of the...

Theistic Evolutionists think so. Bible believers believe the Bible account.

What?

Did too. It happened in the past and I don't do exams anymore.

Theistic Evolutionists manage to believe the various false teachings that contradict the Bible and ignore Romans 5. Shame on them.
