ALL will not have an ear to hear!! Our testimony should leave no doubt that JESUS is real and all powerful. My Grandmother would say, "Say what you mean, and mean what you say!" Our "walk" is icing on the cake of our testimony. Wonderful message!

I wish more pastors/ preachers/teachers would go through the different books of the Bible (all 66) for their sermons. Maybe more Christians would understand the Bible better.

1 Corinthians 9. I made myself as a servant. To the jew ... to the weak... to win the weak. Nazareth vow. Voluntary vow. 4 guys. Shaving his hair. Ritual.

Giving his testimony.
Let me tell you what happened to my life.
My defense, apologia logical presentation- Why we believe. In Hebrew language.

Lord what do you want me to do. First convert.
Pattern God uses people to reach people. Annanias to Paul in Damascus.
Brother Saul receive sight. God of our father chose you. You will be his witnesses all men . Ethiopian eunuch - Philip. Cornelius -peter.
After Damascus. Saudi Arabia for 3 years and then damascus and then Jerusalem.
In the temple I was in trance. Get out quickly for they will not receive your testimony.
Goes back to Tarsus of celicia for 7years and then Antioch. It was 10 years before his began his ministry.


The word gentiles. They can be saved who wants to believe. Gentiles equal footing to the jews. Scourged lether metal and bones. Lacerating shredding.
Centurion, roman commander. Withdrew from him . Next day. Why he was accused. Released him. Now sanhedrin high priest.

Acts 21

New King James Version

Warnings on the Journey to Jerusalem

21 Now it came to pass, that when we had departed from them and set sail, running a straight course we came to Cos, the following day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara. 2 And finding a ship sailing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail. 3 When we had sighted Cyprus, we passed it on the left, sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload her cargo. 4 And finding [a]disciples, we stayed there seven days. They told Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem. 5 When we had come to the end of those days, we departed and went on our way; and they all accompanied us, with wives and children, till we were out of the city. And we knelt down on the shore and prayed. 6 When we had taken our leave of one another, we boarded the ship, and they returned home.

7 And when we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, greeted the brethren, and stayed with them one day. 8 On the next day we [b]who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea, and entered the house of Philip the evangelist,  who was one of the seven, and stayed with him. 9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied. 10 And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. 11 When he had come to us, he took Paul’s belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit,  ‘So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’ ”

12 Now when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered,  “What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

14 So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying,  “The will of the Lord be done.”

Paul Urged to Make Peace

15 And after those days we [c]packed and went up to Jerusalem. 16 Also some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us and brought with them a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we were to lodge.

17 And when we had come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. 18 On the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present. 19 When he had greeted them,  he told in detail those things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry. 20 And when they heard it,  they glorified the Lord. And they said to him, “You see, brother, how many myriads of Jews there are who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law; 21 but they have been informed about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children nor to walk according to the customs. 22 [d]What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come. 23 Therefore do what we tell you: We have four men who have taken a vow. 24 Take them and be purified with them, and pay their expenses so that they may shave their heads, and that all may know that those things of which they were informed concerning you are nothing, but that you yourself also walk orderly and keep the law. 25 But concerning the Gentiles who believe,  we have written and decided [e]that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from [f]sexual immorality.”

Paul's "philosophical statement, " as you put it, is insufficient to explain what James says about Paul in Acts 21:24. If what you say is true, there was veracity to the accusations against Paul, and James conspires with him to decieve. Deception in service to the Truth, is that really the lesson we learn here?
