Christian Religious Knowledge Questions and Answers

Agrippa was not one of the original twelve apostles chosen by Jesus. Instead, he was a king mentioned in the New Testament, particularly in Acts 25 and 26. The other names listed (Bartholomew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon, and Andrew) are apostles chosen by Jesus.

This event is mentioned in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels of Matthew (Matthew 3:13-17), Mark (Mark 1:9-11), Luke (Luke 3:21-22), and John (John 1:29-34). John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the River Jordan, and during this baptism, the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus in the form of a dove, and a voice from heaven proclaimed Him as the beloved Son of God.

The discovery of the law books in the temple and the subsequent reforms are associated with King Josiah of Judah. This event is described in 2 Kings 22-23 and 2 Chronicles 34-35. King Josiah initiated religious reforms in Judah, and during the repairs to the temple, the high priest Hilkiah found a book of the law (likely a portion of the Torah or Pentateuch). This discovery played a significant role in Josiah's efforts to restore proper worship and adherence to the laws of God.

The request for a king by the children of Israel is found in 1 Samuel 8. In this passage, the people express their desire to have a king like the surrounding nations. They wanted to be led by a visible, earthly king instead of relying solely on the leadership of judges and on God as their ultimate authority. Samuel, the prophet, was displeased with their request, but God instructed him to grant their desire.
