       The life and death nof Jesus' disciples
       By: Colin Feener Date: April 7, 2015, 3:26 am

       I hope by now, you can see that as they were in their life as
       written in the scriptures , so is their church. The church is
       the body of believers and as the church leaders were in their
       life and as they died is the exact same as their church. The
       Catholic church was the church of St Peter, and just as peter
       followed Jesus, his church is the same. Peter hung around with
       the Romans and that is where he started his church and even to
       this day , I believe his body is buried under the main Church in
       Rome. See how Peter was hanging around with them when Jesus was
       crusified  and how they cast lots for his robe. The sum of all
       the mans knowledge from above is his lot in life and they still
       cast lots for his Robe and that is to say they cast their lots
       for the robe and who becomes the Pope. When Peter died he was
       crusified just as Jesus, except upside down. That type of death
       signified he had overcome the world and nailed his sins to the
       cross as Jesus and that too is the end for that church, even
       after their sins were so many, their end will be with Jesus, Now
       the other disciples did start churches too and just as they
       died, so will be the end of their church too. If you can tell me
       how they died, we can see what the end will be for that church.
       If that disciple died by the head being cut off, their end will
       be, they will have their head cut off in the scriptures. All the
       deaths are able to teach the way that church will life and die.
       If it will be a dead church. It is said too that Philip too was
       crucified and hung upside down.

       [font=trebuchet ms]Found this, concerning the death of each of
       the apostles of Christ.  May God rest their good souls:
       [/font]
       Summary:  The Bible only mentions the deaths of two apostles,
       James who was put to death by Herod Agrippa I in 44 AD and Judas
       Iscariot who committed suicide shortly after the death of
       Christ.    The details of the deaths of three of the apostles
       (John, the Beloved, Bartholomew and Simon the Canaanite) are not
       known at all, either by tradition or early historians. The
       deaths of the other seven apostles are known by tradition or the
       writings of early Christian historians.  According to traditions
       and the Bible, eight of the Apostles died as Martyrs.  At least
       two of the Apostles, Peter and Andrew were crucified.
       Simon Called Peter by Christ  died 33-34 years after the death
       of Christ.  According to Smith’s Bible Dictionary there is
       “satisfactory evidence that he and Paul were the founders of the
       church at Rome, and died in that city. The time and manner of
       the apostle’s martyrdom are less certain. According to the early
       writers, he died at or about the same time with Paul, and in the
       Neronian persecution, A.D. 67,68. All agree that he was
       crucified. Origen says that Peter felt himself to be unworthy to
       be put to death in the same manner as his Master, and was
       therefore, at his own request, crucified with his head
       downward.”
       James the son of Zebedee:  He was put to death by Herod Agrippa
       I  shortly before the day of the Passover, in the year 44 or
       about 11 years after the death of Christ.  From Acts 12: 1-2.
       John: No death date given by early writers.  Death date is by
       conjecture only and is variously assigned as being between 89 AD
       to 120 AD
       Andrew:  No accurate death date given. A variety of traditions
       say he preached in Scythia, in Greece, in Asia Minor and Thrace.
       He is reported to have been crucified at Patrae in Achaia.
       Philip:  Again, the Bible does not say when he died nor do we
       have accurate information.  According to tradition he preached
       in Phrygia, and died at Hierapolis.
       Bartholomew: There is no information concerning his death, not
       even by tradition
       Matthew: He must have lived many years as an apostle, since he
       was the author of the Gospel of Matthew which was written at
       least twenty years after the death of Christ. There is reason to
       believe that he stayed for fifteen years at Jerusalem, after
       which he went as missionary to the Persians, Parthians and
       Medes. There is a legend that he died a martyr in Ethiopia.
       Thomas: The earlier traditions, as believed in the fourth
       century, say he preached in Parthia or Persia, and was finally
       buried at Edessa. The later traditions carry him farther east.
       His martyrdom whether in Persia or India, is said to have been
       by a lance, and is commemorated by the Latin Church on December
       21 the Greek Church on October 6, and by the Indians on July 1.
       James Alpheus : We know he lived at least five years after the
       death of Christ because of mentions in the Bible.  According to
       tradition, James son of Alpheus was thrown down from the temple
       by the scribes and Pharisees; he was then stoned, and his brains
       dashed out with a fuller’s club.
       Simon the Canaanite – No information either in the Bible or by
       tradition.
       Jude (Thaddeus): according to tradition Jude taught in Armenia,
       Syria and Persia where he was martyred.  Tradition tells us he
       was buried in Kara Kalisa in what is now Iran.
       Judas Iscariot: Shortly after the death of Christ Judas killed
       himself. According to the Bible he hanged himself, (Matthew
       27:5) at Aceldama, on the southern slope of the valley of
       Hinnom, near Jerusalem, and in the act he fell down a precipice
       and was dashed into pieces.

       I think that if a disciple died by way of a lance or the
       sword, you could expect his church which is his body in the
       afterlife, death that way would signify death by the word or
       literal word of the scriptures. If they died by the furnace
       would also signify death by flesh without the Spirit. Stoned to
       death would say death by rejection from the church leaders.
       Other deaths I could tell you but can't think of any.

       There is some kind of show on TV that shows the trips of the
       Apostles of Jesus and it will likely show the way they died. I
       think it said on Sunday,so we will be able to see how the lived
       and what they did and th4n even how they died.
