<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>

Which best describes president johnson’s influence during reconstruction? he had influence among republicans but not democrats.
aliya0001 [1]

During Reconstruction, Johnson's influence can be described as "He did not have the political support that Lincoln had."

<h3>Why did he not have political support?
</h3>

Lincoln was a Republican and Congress was controlled by Republicans. Lincoln therefore had a lot of support in Congress.

Johnson on the other hand, was a Democrat who did not want the same things Republicans wanted. He therefore had little support in Congress, and was constantly overruled.

In conclusion, option D is correct.

Fear of the rise of foreign influence on Japanese culture and politics resulted in all of the following except...
ivanzaharov [21]

The closure of all but one Japanese port.

Explanation:

Japan was not like the other nations of East Asia when it came to contact with the Europeans, or their own internal affairs. Seeing that the European imperial powers are closing in and managing to occupy the nations in their surroundings, the Japanese were not willing to allow the same to happen to them. The country was unified, had very strong nationalistic core, and quickly started to cut down and move away the Europeans. The Christians were persecuted, while the European ships and merchants were expelled and not allowed to come to Japan.

  • Japan continued with its measures, and it started to rapidly industrialize.
  • The industrialization of the country resulting in more finances, large amount of which went for modernization and enlarging the army.
  • Japan became a very powerful country and let everyone know that it is not a good idea to try and engage into a conflict with it.
  • Instead of being occupied as the surrounding nations, Japan became an imperial power, gradually starting to conquer territories in East and Southeast Asia.
