<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>

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

With the major Europeans Countries going bankrupt, and inflation rises in their economy, the realities of the postwar dawned on Europe. This disillusionment showed that, despite the wars fought, the problems before the war still persist, and in the end, the war achieves nothing.

For many European countries, with increase in inflation, they regretted going into war, and the fact that, despite a lot of lives and industrial properties that were wasted, they sill go back to even a poorer condition before the war. Therefore, for many European countries, postwar disillusionment creates changing of political system, which eventually led to political instability, and even gave rise to dictatorship in some cases.

How did governments and other organizations try to control public opinion during world war i?

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The government tried many ways to stifle and control people during the WW1 era. Writers critical of the government had their mail or books detained, were put under close surveillance, or had their homes or offices raided. Some were jailed. Others were deported. This work, and the red scare of the post-war years, saw the birth of official state surveillance in 1919. In addition to press reporting, states attempted to influence opinion using a wide range of pamphlets, cartoons, and longer books.

Compare and contrast the Taj Mahal and Templo Mayor, Tenochtitlan. Discuss the form, materials, purpose, and symbolism of each.

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The Aztecs founded a lot of city-states through the territory. One of the most important was Tenochtitlan, built-in 1318 / 1325. Mexico City would settle on it. Centuries later, from 1631 to 1654, the El Taj Mahal began to be built in Agra, India.

Considered as a palace by many, the Taj Mahal was originally a mausoleum built by Muslim emperor Shah Jahan in honor of his dead wife, which he loved very much. With different intentions, the Aztecs built a temple to magnify their patron gods, Huitzilopochtli and Tlaloc. At first, the monument was nothing more than a small shrine made with simple materials (straw and grass). But, because each ruler undertook a new constructive stage, it ended up becoming a majestic pyramid.

The Tenochiltlan temple had several constructions in a row, but mainly it was a high-rise sacred temple, with divisions for the two gods, some stairs where only the priests and the sacrificed could cross. But The Taj Mahal was built with the best materials, using white marble, also included precious stones such as sapphire, amethysts, quartz, and even diamonds. In that case, it was more expensive and fancy in his construction, who has about 14 hectares and has huge gardens.

As for symbolism, the monument of India represents love, paradise, and spiritual encounter. On the side of Tenochiltlan, it represents the history of the Aztecs before being destroyed by Hernan Cortes, it was an offering center to the gods and the earth.
