Luke is the Latinized from of the Greek Lucas. You can usally pick out male names in Greek form as they end in "s". Jesus, Judas, Barsabas, Barnabas, Barabbas, Esaias, James etc. Luke means Bringer of Light (morning star). So his Hebrew name would likely have been Helel (morning star) which is rendered as Lucifer in Isaiah.

"But then in 1 Cor 8 Paul says: 7 But not everyone knows this. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat such food they think of it as having been sacrificed to an idol, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. 8 But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do. If one's conscience (ability to know right from wrong and act according)is weak it is defiled. Our job is to strengthen those with a week conscience by teaching them what is right and wrong according to scripture. |

My wife and I were in college when she became with child the first time. After his birth she quit college to be a stay at home mom. I worked part time and finished my degree. My wife has never had a job outside of the home. And frankly I don't know how we would have made it, if she had had a job outside of the home.
You are in my prayers.

crisg,
First the clues.
Luk 16:19 There(1161) was2258 a certain5100 rich4145 man,444 which(2532) was clothed1737 in purple4209 and2532 fine linen,1040 and fared2165 sumptuously2988 every day:2596, 2250
Luk 16:25 But1161 Abraham11 said,2036 Son,5043 remember3415 that3754 thou4771 in1722 thy4675 lifetime2222 receivedst618 thy4675 good things,18 and2532 likewise3668 Lazarus2976 evil things:2556 but1161 now3568 he3592 is comforted,3870 and1161 thou4771 art tormented.3600
Luk 16:28 For1063 I have2192 five4002 brethren;80 that3704 he may testify1263 unto them,846 lest3363 they846 also2532 come2064 into1519 this5126 place5117 of torment.931
He was rich or a member of the elite, he wore purple meaning royalty, he wore linen, meaning priestly, he fared sumptuously as did Eli’s sons. He was a son of Abraham, and he had five brethren. The only one that fits that is Judah.
Christ was teaching the same concept that he did in Mat 5:20 For1063 I say3004 unto you,5213 That3754 except3362 your5216 righteousness1343 shall exceed4052, 4119 the righteousness of the3588 scribes1122 and2532 Pharisees,5330 ye shall in no case3364 enter1525 into1519 the3588 kingdom932 of heaven.3772
alon,
I have no problem with hand under one’s thigh being a euphemism for hand upon the sword. Both place Eliezer in a humble position in Abraham’s bosoms.

Could Lazarus equal Eliezer (God's Helper) of Damascus the servant of Abraham who put his hand under Abraham's thigh? Surely this faithful servant rest in Abraham" bosom.
Note if the "E" is dropped and you add a "s" to make the name have the Greek form, Eliezer becomes Lazarus.

A few verses where it is plan the law of God is being spoken about with out the definite-article "the3588":
Luk 2:23 (As2531 it is written1125 in1722 the law3551 of the Lord,2962 Every3956 male730 that openeth1272 the womb3388 shall be called2564 holy40 to the3588 Lord;)2962
Luk 2:24 And2532 to offer1325 a sacrifice2378 according2596 to that which is said2046 in1722 the law3551 of the Lord,2962 A pair2201 of turtledoves,5167 or2228 two1417 young3502 pigeons.4058
Rom 3:20 Therefore1360 by1537 the deeds2041 of the law3551 there shall no3756, 3956 flesh4561 be justified1344 in his sight:1799, 846 for1063 by1223 the law3551 is the knowledge1922 of sin.266
Rom 7:25 I thank2168 God2316 through1223 Jesus2424 Christ5547 our2257 Lord.2962 So686 then3767 with the3588 mind3563 I1473 myself848, (3303) serve1398 the law3551 of God;2316 but1161 with the3588 flesh4561 the law3551 of sin.266
Rom 9:4 Who3748 are1526 Israelites;2475 to whom3739 pertaineth the3588 adoption,5206 and2532 the3588 glory,1391 and2532 the3588 covenants,1242 and2532 the3588 giving of the law,3548 and2532 the3588 service2999 of God, and2532 the3588 promises;1860
Gal 3:10 For1063 as many as3745 are1526 of1537 the works2041 of the law3551 are1526 under5259 the curse:2671 for1063 it is written,1125 Cursed1944 is every one3956 that3739 continueth1696 not3756 in1722 all things3956 which are written1125 in1722 the3588 book975 of the3588 law3551 to do4160 them.846

A few with it:
Rom 8:7 Because1360 the3588 carnal4561 mind5427 is enmity2189 against1519 God:2316 for1063 it is not subject5293, 3756 to the3588 law3551 of God,2316 neither3761 indeed1063 can1410 be.
1Co 9:9 For1063 it is written1125 in1722 the3588 law3551 of Moses,3475 Thou shalt not3756 muzzle5392 the mouth of the ox1016 that treadeth out the corn.248 Doth(3361) God2316 take care3199 for oxen?1016
1Co 14:21 In1722 the3588 law3551 it is written,1125 With1722 men of other tongues2084 and2532 other(1722), 2087 lips5491 will I speak2980 unto this5129 people;2992 and2532 yet for all that3779 will they not3761 hear1522 me,3450 saith3004 the Lord.2962

Honestly, they make me laugh (or they would if it wasn't so  ). One of them has just posted: Luke 16:16 ....The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. If they had bothered to read the following verse.... And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. Or reading the last verse of the chapter: Luk 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. If you don't hear (hearing involves doing) what Moses and the prophets say you will not be persuaded by Jesus the one who rose from the dead. |

I forgot one other point:
Acts 10:15 And the voice spoke unto him a second time, what God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
God didn't have a problem with the animals Peter was considering unclean. He did have a problem with those he considered common.

A Little more detail:
Characteristics of clean fowl are, of course, determined by the dove,the pigeon (Luke 2:24 and Leviticus 1:14-17) which are used for sacrifice and the quail which were consumed in the desert.
By comparing the differences between these clean birds and those listed as unclean, we can arrive at the following six characteristics of clean birds: 1) they must not be birds of prey; 2) they have white breast meat; 3) they must have an elongated middle front toe and a hind toe; 4) they must spread their toes so that three front toes are on one side of a perch and the hind toe on the other side; 5) they must have craws or crops; 6) they must have a gizzard with a double lining which can easily be separated.
Clean birds have all these characteristics; unclean birds lack one or more of these characteristics. If a bird lacks any one of these characteristics, it is unclean.
Beside the Quail, pigeon and dove, the following birds are also clean: chicken, pheasant, partridge, grouse, turkey, all song birds

Vitaimn K (blood clotting agent) peaks on the 8th day.
It takes around 80 days for the mother to clear hormons from a girl while only 40 to clear the male hormons from her system.

Read the passage again slowly.
Act 10:11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
Act 10:12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
Act 10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
Act 10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
There were cow, goat, sheep, deer, etc. in that sheet. There was no reason for Peter not to rise and eat. There are no animals called common in God's law, They are clean or unclean. The clean animals in the sheet were considered "common" because they had been touched by the pigs etc. in the sheet. God was tell Peter to disregard man designation of "common". Peter could approach Gentiles without becoming "common" in God's eyes.

Chicken has white breast meet. The listed unclean fowl do not. At least the ones that I have butchered in the past.

Romans 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye...
Persons who consider one day to be above another day and the person who considers every day to be the same are both week according to Rom 14:1. Romans 15 talks about the strong and how they should treat the week. And verse 18 tells us that Paul's (a strong one) work was to make the Gentile (weak) obedient by word and deed. We don't esteem any days except the LORD commands us. That is how one becomes strong. Compliance with God's word.

(John 1:47 KJV) Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith to him Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.
What struck me as peculiar about this statement, as it is recorded here, is the "an Israelite indeed" part. Surely the other apostles were true descendants of Israel. There is some interesting biblical genealogy behind the Bartholomew (as Nathanael is referred to in the other Gospels) name, that might suggest that he wasn't a true Israelite in the sense of being a physical descendant of Jacob.
The name Bartholomew means "a son of Talmai". Talmai ruled in Hebron when the Israelites spied out the land before their 40 years of wandering (Numbers 13:22), was driven out of Hebron by Caleb after the 40 years (Joshua 15:14), and was finally killed by the descendants of Judah after Joshua had died (Judges 1:10). This Talmai line appears to be an ancient one only 5 generations from Noah (Noah->Ham->Canaan->Arva->Anak->Talmai)
... Absalom the son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur; (II Samuel 3:3 NKJV)
But Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day. (II Samuel 13:37 NKJV).
Also, note the semblance of the name “Talmai” to that of Ptolemy and the correspondence of the domain of rulership (Egypt) may also suggest a link between the Talmai lineage and the great Ptolemaic dynasty which ruled Egypt from 305 to 30 years before the time of Jesus.
What I am suggesting is Nathanael/Bartholomew was a Greek turned into an Israelite indeed (in actions) and the lost sheep of the House of Israel are most likely Israelites turned into Greeks or at least in league with the Greeks such as the Herodians.
