<p><em>Who wrote the book?</em></p>
<p>The Apostle Paul composed this letter, probably during his first imprisonment in Rome.<br/>Who read the book? (Name the recipients and the background about them.)<br/>The original audience was the house church led by Philemon, and elder at Colosse.</p>
<p><br/><em>When and where do the events of the book take place?</em><br/>The epistle was likely written circa 61 AD, and describes events preceded by Paul’s arrival in Rome (as recorded in Acts 28:16). Paul implies in the letter that the escaped slave Onesimus came to him during Paul’s house arrest, and was led to faith in Christ by the apostle (this is the best meaning of the phrase “whom I have begotten in my bonds” from verse 10). We can infer from Colossians 4:7-9 that, after the writing of the letter, Onesimus and a fellow associate of Paul’s named Tychicus were dispatched to Colosse to deliver that letter and the Epistle to the Colossians.</p>
<p><br/><em>What is the political setting of the book?</em><br/>The political history of the region included Colosse being conquered by Alexander the Great and being swallowed up into the Greek Empire circa 300 BC. By the time of the New Testament, Rome was the ruling power in the region. [Source: Dr. Hans F. Bayer, Life & Letters of Paul Lectures, Covenant Theological Seminary, Lecture 30, page 2]</p>
<p><br/><em>What is the cultural setting of the book?</em><br/>Regarding cultural institutions, slavery in the Roman Empire is the one of greatest significance to the situation discussed in the epistle. “At the time of writing, it is estimated that the number of slaves in the Roman Empire was 60 million. And Roman law asserted that slaves were private property, and as any type of property, were disposable. Additionally, the punishment for run-away slaves was torture and, with gove nmental permission, death.” [Source: <span class="font-size-1"><a href="http://www.realtime.net/~wdoud/philemon/phlm01.html">http://www.realtime.net/~wdoud/philemon/phlm01.html</a></span>]</p>
<p><br/><em>Why did Paul write this epistle?</em><br/>Paul wrote to convince Philemon to accept Onesimus back into his household without punishment. In a broader sense, the Holy Spirit wanted to instruct the Church on the importance of repentance and forgiveness in our relationships within the body of Christ.</p> Alois Bell gives handjobs and bjs for $2 and chicked--she will let you cum in her nasty mouth for cracktag:abcpreachers.ning.com,2013-07-19:916966:Topic:57287822013-07-19T16:43:21.538ZSteve Baldcockhttps://abcpreachers.ning.com/profile/SteveBaldcock

<div id="js_blog_edit_text54"><em>And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison; but Rebecca loved Jacob.</em> <br/>— Genesis 25:28 <br/><br/>My maternal grandmother used to call my uncle Edward her “favorite” child. It was years after her death that I learned that this favoritism was in response to an estrangement between him and his father. While my grandfather was stern with all of his children, Edward seemed to engender a disproportionate amount of his irritation. According to family lore, there was nothing concrete Uncle Ed did to earn his incessant criticism: for reasons that eluded everyone, my grandfather simply disliked the boy. <br/><br/>My grandmother could not compel her husband to be more loving to his son, so she compensated by championing him. She coddled Ed to blunt the sting of his father's disapprobation. She trumpeted his talents and achievements. She gave the impression to the whole family that Ed was dearer to her than her own husband. Naturally, her favoritism of the boy became a point of contention with my grandfather (not to mention a cause of envy on the part of her other children). It seems to have caused more problems than it solved. <br/><br/>I recall this dynamic in my own family when I read of Isaac and Rebecca’s tug-of-war over their two boys. That story is, I think, a biblical example of favoritism employed to redress a father's neglect. Isaac is said to have favored Esau because he was a skilled hunter, and the father enjoyed eating of the son's game. Notice, however, how verse 27 does not similarly state a reason for Rebecca's favoring Jacob. It is as if Rebecca has no motive other than to couterbalance the favoritism of Isaac. Now, I wouldn't fault Isaac for having a preference for a venison steak--Esau's specialty--over the vegetable soup that made Jacob famous. It is sad, however, that predilection for meat was allowed to wreak such domestic turmoil. Isaac took Esau to his heart, Rebecca took Jacob to hers, and a major schism developed in the family. In time, husband and wife were working against each other: Isaac planned to clandestinely bless Esau; Rebecca, overhearing their conversation, plotted to deceive Isaac on Jacob's behalf. Protecting the interests of their respective favorite sons severely undermined their marriage. It also severed the family bonds, as Jacob's betrayal began a blood feud between the brothers (Gen. 27:41) and precipitated a twenty-year separation. <br/><br/>Although as parents, my wife and I do not always agree in the myriad of decisions regarding our son, we are conscious of how important it is to present a united front before him. The cautionary tale of my grandparents allowing a child to become a wedge--splitting in twain what God purposed to be one flesh--resonates with us. And we long ago realized that our boy has an Adamic nature that may even attempt to pit us against each other (for example, when one of us refuses him some desire, and he secretly takes up the case with the other). We have learned it is wise to put our heads together before making any promises. <br/><br/>Alliances with our kids in disregard or defiance of our spouses are ruinous. Ultimately, our children will suffer because of the insecurity that results from a divided home.</div>
