Paul and his companion were placed in prison in Philippi for healing a blind beggar. True False

History

<u>Answer:</u> False

Philippi was the first “European” city that Paul evangelized as he came across from Asia Minor. Arriving at the port the port of Philippi in Macedonia, Paul and Silas went right to work evangelizing. One of their first Converts was Lydia, a wealthy woman from Thyatira, a dealer in purple cloth. Other converts followed. And here is where we pick up the story.

Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit by which she predicted the future (Spirit of Prophecy). She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved.” She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so troubled that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her.

When the owners of the slave girl realized that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities. They brought them before the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews, and are throwing our city into an uproar by advocating customs unlawful for us Romans to accept or practice.”

The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten. After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. Upon receiving such orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks. (Acts 16:16-24).

So they never healed a blind beggar

which means they never went to prison

for that specific reason! <em>Hope I helped</em>

Bezzdna [24]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The IRS collect your taxes; they don't have anything to do with security.

The culture is the traditions and common habits of the people. Culture is not a government organization so it does not really maintain order or ensure security.

The monarchy is basically the royalty or nobility. They rule the country but usually the king himself does not ensure security for his citizens.

The Government is what protects people's rights, ensures their security, and maintains order. There are many government systems set up to secure all of these rights.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D

lbvjy [14]

During the late 1800s in Poland and Russia, anti-Semitism took the form of violent attacks called Pogrom.

These attacks forced many Jews to flee to western Europe. Nonetheless, some Jews continued to survive in eastern Europe in small villages called  Shtetlekh.

Pogrom is a Russian word which means to wreak havoc or to demolish violently. Historically, the term refers to violent attacks by local non-Jewish populations on Jews in the Russian Empire and in other countries.

Shtetlekh were small towns with large Jewish populations, which existed in Central and Eastern Europe before the Holocaust.
