Discuss Acts 25

Acts 25:16 - To them I answered, 'It is not the custom of the Romans to deliver any man [b]to destruction before the accused meets the accusers face to face, and has opportunity to answer for himself concerning the charge against him.'

Is it used as basis in the judisprudence of

law

Job 5:20-23, Psalms 2:1-5, Psalms 37,

acts 25 are we Festus, those who believe in the almighty god? who are conservative or republican, those who find an intrusive power-hungry, government tyrannical and corrupt?

First Peter 3:15; "be ready also to give an answer" = Here, the word "answer" translates from the Greek noun root (transliterated "apologia"; pronounced "apo-log-EE-ah"), and from which, derives the English noun "apology."

This term originates the Christian Theological field of "Apologetics" of which a person, described as an "apologetic", defends True, Biblical Christianity with truths and proofs, which usually involve definitive and convincing arguments used to refute contradictions against it.

Compare the word "answer" to its synonymous expression "earnestly contend for the Faith which was once delivered unto the saints" (Jude v.3).

When using the same definition above, the Greek root "apologia" also translates into either "answer" or "defense" in the following references:

Luke 12:11-12;

Luke 21:14-15;

Acts 22:1ff;

Acts 24:10ff;

Acts 25:8 & 16;

Acts 26:1-2ff;

Philippians 7 & 17;

Second Timothy 4:15-16.

Satan never asked permission, he never mentioned Job. The Lord said unto him, Satan has thou considered myself Servant Job---? Job1:8

TO Terry for v. 12 - Try this: pray about it. It could be from God - OR 0 it could be from satan, whom God will allow to do things - Job 1:8. satan HAS to ask God for permission before he can do anything. and if he does do something- it's 'cause God let him. Bottom line: talk to God about it.

Festus behaviour shows how incompetent Roman ruleers tried to gain favour of roman client state communities. The apostles really suffered much with no protection of the wasteful and tyrannic Herodians. Wondered how it would be to have been a poor Jew in those times

Last night there was a bright light in my face as i slept and i kept hearing acts25:12. I am just trying to figure out what God is saying

You must bless the ones who hateyou,Seek And Save The son of man has come seek and save that which was lost.We must feed at all cost. I BELIVE THE LORD WILL MAKE THEM TO NEED ME ,AND IT WILL BE A NEED I CAN FORFILL. ITS WILL BE THE LORDS WILL. HE WILL USE FOR HIS GLORY. TO GOD BE THE GLORY. ITS NOT ABOUT US ITS WHAT THE LORD HAS CALLED US TO DO HIS WILL.

The fact that St. John may have been on Patmos Island in his very old age has no bearing on the writing of the Book of Revelation. Rev.22:16 shows clearly that Jesus was alive when this book was written in 69AD and John was the witness. Acts 25:19 clearly shows Jesus was alive in 62AD and 2 Peter 1:14 shows Jesus is alive shortly before June of 66 AD.and talking to Peter shortly before Peter was executed in 66 AD as Peter was in England in the spring of 66 AD. Jesus died in 73 AD. St. Marcilia the handmaiden {second wife-priestess} was a co writer.

Since cursing those who are wrong does not seem to fit the new testament gospel, I have searched the Analytical Greek Lexicon to see if the translators may have missed something. With the definition of "Anathema" the word is presented as a compound word, (ana & thema), and defined;"To submit a statement or report of matters to a person's consideration" as used in Acts 25:14 & Gal.2:2. The Gr. ana is defined as through the midst of; we would say thoroughly. Thema (themelion) is defined as; "to lay a foundation". In 1 Cor. 3:10, Paul uses the same word for,"I have laid the foundation". I feel this would be a more fitting choice of definitions than to curse those who are in the wrong. So a better wording for Gal. 1:8 & 1 Cor. 16:22, would be to; (Thoroughly teach those who err in order to lay a foundation for faith and doctrine). This (more gospel like) concept, is all in the Greek grammer book. Romans 12:14 says "Bless, and curse not".
