Paul--talented man. Jew. Spoke Greek and Aramaic. Spoke boldly in front of 'dangerous' crowds. Roman Citizen. Traveller. Many more adjectives to describe him can be found in Acts, mostly good ones. How many good talents to you have? Reply to this

Paul is amazing!! How many of us, when beaten by a mob, would stop at the top of the stairs, and preach your baptism story? Most of us would run like rabbits. Paul had many travels, a lot of faith, and quit a bit of stubbornness if you ask me. Paul was not only told but he was shown exactly what the Jews would do to him, as the owner of the belt. This was revealed to him by Agabus the prophet, who through the Holy Spirit showed him what would happen. Why does Paul not listen to him yet decides to go and they say "the Lords will be done". How do we know the will of the lord when one prophets says one thing, obviously there is danger and you should not go, and yet another says something different, because he would not be swayed may Gods will be done. Sounds like arrogance to me. This is not the first time Paul said he is willing to die. Do you think his convictions have changed? Reply to this
