Paul defends his belief before the Sanhedrin. He uses the "divide and conquer" technique by proclaiming that he was only guilty of being a Pharisee who believed in the resurrection which was a major tenet of the Pharisees. He explained that as a follower of the Way he believed that Jesus was the proof of the resurrection.
The Pharisees on the council agree with Paul and his explanation of his vision of God giving him a mission to spread the news of Jesus resurrection to all people until he includes the Gentiles in spreading the Good News. When the council hears this another riot breaks out in their chambers.
A plot is hatched to kill Paul and approved by the Sanhedrin. The Romans learned of the plot and send Paul to Cesaria to Felix the Roman Governor.
Why do the Jews want to kill Paul? Why did God use human means to save Paul? Is it right to use the legal system to protect believers?
These are just some the questions we discuss in this podcast.
These non-denominational Bible studies are led by Dr. Val and recorded live. Some 20-25 men meet weekly at 6:30 AM for an hour. They study and discuss a passage from Scripture. Questions are encouraged and often lead to interesting rabbit trails that help us discover and process additional Biblical truths.
