Guest Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Just finished Hebrews. I just feel throughout that it was the Apostle Paul who wrote it - so why has this been disputed? Greater minds than mine have decided he was not the author. Well who else would write it? I think it was Paul and i won't be moved on that!

I think it was Paul and i won't be moved on that! It is very unlikely Paul wrote it. In every epistle Paul wrote he ALWAYS started them the same way---"Paul and apostle..." Why wold he change for Hebrews? Actually it is irrelevant who wrote it or when it was written. The only important thing is who inspired what was written.

We can't prove who wrote it, and still we can get the teaching God had the author include in the book. Who wrote it and when, will not change any Biblical doctrine or even one jot or tittle in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the prophetic revelation that the Holy Spirit wants me to know? Hebrews was written before 70 Ad. As no mention of the destruction of the temple is made therein. Of the theories out there, the one I think is the most viable is that it was written by Clement, and is stylistically similar to the first Epistle of Clement. It is said that he was under the tutelage of Paul, and Peter in Rome, and is believed to be the Clement mentioned in Phil. 4:3. It May have even been passed down to Clement by Paul Who finished and sent it out, shortly before his death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read of cases for Apollos, Priscilla/Aquilla, and even Barnabas. Each time I read of a case, all I can think of is that we will never know. The book of Hebrews is awesome. I just let it go at that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the prophetic revelation that the Holy Spirit wants me to know? The Holy Spirit, aka the Spirit of Truth, is only concerned about the Truth. To answer your question: the truth of its contents. Be careful what you ask for. If you ask for who, when, whom, and why it was written, and not ask for the truth of its contents, then you are seeking not its truth but personal glorification. "Look what I know". You may even get what you ask for, just to find out that nobody will take you seriously, or label you as a false-prophet, just so you may discover a truth about your motives. God seems to move in mysterious ways for those that ignore the truth of themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
