Good morning. So how can
we be safe from all of these deceivers? Let that abide in you which you heard
from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you
will also abide in the Son and in the Father. Too many people are trying to obtain
new knowledge. There is only one true knowledge – Jesus. That does not mean
that you cannot learn some things that you did not realize were in the Bible.
Remember all of that about Gnosticism. Knowledge was important, not
relationship with Jesus. And this is the promise which He Himself made to us:
eternal life. These things I have written to you concerning those who are
trying to deceive you. Sadly there are people today who are trying to deceive
us. Now some of them have been deceived themselves and actually believe that
what they are saying is true. They think they are trying to lead you into the
truth when it is actually deception. As for you, the anointing which you
received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but
as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie,
and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him. The Holy Spirit indwelling us
is what will let us know the things that are true and those that are not. We
have to look inwardly to determine what is true or not. That is not something
that comes naturally; we have to be trained to do it. Father thank You that the
reader knows what is true and what is not. He/she is never deceived; he/she
only follows Your word.
When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives.
Good morning. When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion. Notice that “we“ returns. Luke has not been mentioned during the entire two years that Paul was at Caesarea. I guess it is safe to assume that he was in the area during this time. We will leave out the names of a bunch of places where they passed. They had sailed for a good many days and began to have trouble with the wind. This was a warning of what was about to happen. When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast (Day of Atonement) was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives. The centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul. They did not want to get stuck for the winter in the port where they were located. They actually were only g...
