#11 i wonder, was that the same ananias that was later struck down by God?
My favorite is probably #2. Nice details in the painting- I generally prefer more impressionistic works, but do appreciate the ti e and skill that goes into more detailed works.
Thanks again for your work here Dan. You probably are familiar with this Korean group, but I wasn’t and I love their version of ‘Close to Thee’:

Good Morning Dan, and hello to all!
Beautiful pieces you’ve chosen.
So Paul began to change under God’s hand, just as we continue to grow, as we are obedient. He never stops urging us forward.
Thank You Dan!
Different Ananias. This one lives in Damascus, while the dead one lived in Jerusalem. Also, if it were the same one, Luke would have mentioned it. Indeed, that would have been a sensational story: the disciple awarded the honor of rescuing Saul later falling spectacularly from grace.
"...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you
will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
Thanks Sunsong; very beautiful indeed.
Compare North Korea living in darkness, to South Korea thriving; the influence of Godly faith makes a difference in nations.
Ananias was very brave and had great faith to be the first to approach Paul.
Ah thanks. Makes sense it was different one. Yep it would certainly have been a huge issue
“...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

A wonderful promise from our Lord.
I wasn’t, but I’m glad that now I am. Thanks!
He wasn’t very happy about it, either.
You are most welcome!
Yes it is so sad what North Korea has become. The people there deserve better
Thanks for the explanation. Ananias could have been a common name. Just like Judas’s house where Saul was recuperating was not owned by the betrayer. That was a common enough name that there were even two among the Apostles.

I know! All we need to do is check their phonebooks.
No, that won't work after all. Phonebooks list last names alphabetically, and Ananias and Judas are first names.
Never mind.
I suspect it would be profitable to make a study of biblical names. I presented a guest sermon once focusing on that.
So many include el, for God: Ezekiel, Gabriel, Michael, Daniel....
Of course, Yeshua, God saves, is the champeen.
Joining all giving God the glory in this thread!
Smart move, Pat!
The Romans were fairly thorough, and probably had such listings. But yeah, first names. You need some 1st century AI to analyze the data.
