[Uri’el-2012]

Act 13:49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.

Appears as tho the believers were writing out copies as fast as their fingers would move, contrary to what some may say...

ctd> I don't buy into the RCC is the one true church nonsense at all;
but publish does not always mean writing. Generally speaking,
that is the interpretation today, but it wasn't necessarily so centuries ago.

Could it be that Luke was speaking about the Holy Word of G-d:
the Tanach and the Torah?

Thank you

I am, by no means, a Greek scholarm but I am pretty confident that "the word of the Lord" means the Gospel message; especially aince there are other instances in the Bible where Christ is referred to as 'the Word'.

I believe the Tanach and the Torah were already published...Sounds as tho most Synagogues had a copy of the 'published' scrolls...

I don't know why it would be so hard to believe that people grabbed a stack of papyrus and started making copy after copy of what the Apostles preached...
