Zone1 St. Timon

[Unkotare]

"St. Timon (1st c.) is mentioned by name in the Acts of the Apostles. He belonged to the group of seventy disciples who followed Jesus during his earthly ministry. After Jesus' ascension into heaven, St. Timon was one of the original seven deacons, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, chosen by the Apostles to help with the work of ministering to the growing Christian community. Timon was later ordained a bishop by the Apostles. He baptized many Greeks and Jews into the Christian faith. He also had the supernatural ability to heal the sick and to cast out devils. St. Timon suffered martyrdom for preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. According to tradition he was thrown into a furnace, but by the power of God he came out of it unharmed, and later died by crucifixion. His feast day is April 19."

It's not a good idea to start piling on more allegorical nonsense than what already exists and is obviously being seen as not the literal truth!

Thrown in a furnace and walks out unharmed??

St. Timon suffered martyrdom for preaching the Gospel of Jesus ...

that would be liberation theology, self determination - the refutation of judaism's false commandments, hereditary idolatry religion of apartheid - not found in christianity, the 4th century christian bible.
