The life and death nof Jesus' disciples

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.

Thanks for that, Piper. I had been wondering about that.

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.
