Bayanin Amsa

The statement "Let it be known to you then that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, they will listen" implies that the Gentiles will be more receptive to Christianity than the Jews. In other words, the author of this statement, believed that the message of salvation through Jesus Christ would be well received by the Gentiles, or non-Jewish people, and that they would be more likely to listen and accept it compared to the Jews. This does not mean that the Jews have lost the opportunity of salvation forever or that Paul has completely lost hope in the Jews. It simply means that the author believed that the Gentiles were more open to the message of salvation.

According to Paul, which of the following is the greatest?

Bayanin Amsa

Paul, in his letters to the early Christian communities, emphasized the importance of all four of these qualities: truth, love, faith, and hope. He saw them as interconnected and interdependent, and believed that they were necessary for a healthy Christian life. It can be argued that Paul saw love as the greatest of these qualities, as he wrote in 1 Corinthians 13:13, "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." In this passage, Paul is emphasizing the importance of love as the foundation of Christian life, as love is seen as the embodiment of all that is good and virtuous. However, it's worth noting that Paul also placed a high value on truth, faith, and hope, and saw them as essential aspects of the Christian life. So, while he may have considered love to be the greatest, he did not diminish the importance of the other three qualities.

Additionally, Paul and his companions were Roman citizens, and the centurion may have wanted to avoid having to account for their deaths. Finally, the centurion may have wanted to save Paul's life for other reasons.

When Paul and Barnabas healed a cripple at Lystra, the people named them 

Bayanin Amsa

The people at Lystra named Paul and Barnabas as Zeus and Hermes after they healed a cripple. This was because the people believed that the two were gods and wanted to honor them as such. In Greek mythology, Zeus was the king of the gods and was associated with the sky and thunder, while Hermes was the messenger of the gods and was associated with commerce, communication, and cunning. The people at Lystra likely thought that Paul and Barnabas had divine powers and were showing their reverence by naming them after the gods.

"Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's". The quotation teaches 

Bayanin Amsa

The quotation teaches obedience to civil authority. The quote is from the Bible, specifically from the New Testament, in the book of Matthew (22:21), and it is spoken by Jesus in response to a question from the Pharisees about whether or not it is lawful to pay taxes to Caesar. By telling his listeners to "render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's," Jesus is instructing them to fulfill their obligations to the civil authorities, while reserving their ultimate allegiance to God.

The teachers' and prophets' hands conferred authority on Paul and Barnabas. Paul and Barnabas were ordained.
