I saw that. Paul is not necessarily the author of Hebrews. The author is never identified. The style is different from all of his other letters, and Paul always identified himself when writing. and even indicated when he was dictating or writing it himself (see what big round letters I use when writing in my own hand...etc)

I knew that the correct answer was “What is the Book of Hebrews” because it uses more OT refernces than any other of the epistles, but I alo knew that the clue was worded incorrectly. It probably wasn’t Paul. It could have been Priscilla for all we know.

Nevertheless, I would have answered what they wanted to hear, just to have the satisfaction of winning. And, of course, the cash.

the Pauline epistles were ordered by size

Just like the traditional ordering of the Suras in the Quoran.

No one knows who wrote Hebrews and anyone who takes any dogmatic position about who wrote it is WRONG. Scripture itself says to “not go beyond what is written.”

Majoring in the minors only weakens our position as Christians.

We have enough trouble agreeing on what IS WRITTEN.

Our sole focus should be on “Jesus Christ and Him crucified” which we first must faithfully represent with our lives and actions and only then with our words. Our words are mostly vaporware today because our testimony before the world negates what we say before we even say it.

Nonsense arguing about who wrote Hebrews is just such an example. We need to repent.

When the world sees holy, righteous, godly lives and lives laid down for Christ and one another - then it will listen. Read our Lord’s prayer just before the cross in John 17 and use that as a yardstick on how we are doing.

May the Lord help us.

Buttrey offered, “Who are the Romans,” a response deemed incorrect, prompting outrage from home viewers who felt that that was the best answer.

Give it a rest heathens.

He was writing to the Corinthians...

First, you have an awesome handle! Captain Blood is a truly great movie!

Second, I don’t think there were any of the Apostles who visited the Carthaginians. Not even in the Apocrypha.

Most Christians know Paul penned Hebrews
******************************************************
They know? How would they know? Scholars disagree but you know. What an arrogant assumption based on opinion void of facts

Have you read the text of the book of Hebrews? Really strange that so many are stuck on who wrote it.. and completely ignore what was written. Paul wrote about them in Romans.

Good news: the host is Ken Jennings. I avoided Jeopardy for months when the screeching lady took the podium. Bible answers are easy with biblehub dot com.

Origen’s third-century statement on Hebrews has endured: “Who wrote the epistle, in truth, God knows.”

"....Most Christians know Paul penned Hebrews."....

No, Many people "THINK" Paul wrote Hebrews. There is evidence that he didn't write it however.

What’s with this Mr./Ms. Amy Schneider? Is he/she a host, or just a long-running guest?

He's pretty smart, but shows how disgusting he looks in sweater tops that show clearly that he's a man and always will be. There's even an article today in my local paper where they continue to call this clown a woman.

There's not a thing he can cut off or mutilate on his body that will ever make him a woman. I find it disgusting to even show this pervert. It's totally creepy, and I refuse to watch until he's off the panel.
