Paul Prisoner Before Festus and
Agrippa-Acts xxv:6-12; Chap. XVI.
Golden Text know whom / have
believed, and am persuaded that he
is able to keep that which have COM
mitted unto him against that day.
2 Tim. i:12.
Verse 6-Who was this Festus re-
ferred to in this verse?
From the preceding five verses
what had the Jews requested Festus
to do?
Verse 7-On what principle can you
explain the bitter hatred which the
Jews had for Paul?
Will religious bigot, who is full of
hatred as these Jews were, stop short
of swearing to lie to accomplish his
purpose?
Should any Christian believe or cir
culate a charge against any person
that he has not got ample proof Of?
Verse S-As a matter of fact had
Paul, In any sense, broken any Jewish
law?
Which, at this time, were really in
the most unenviable situation, Paul or
his accusers, and why?
Verses 9-12-When a Judge or a
magistrate favors the prosecution,
and makes harsh remarks against the
prisoner during the taking of the evil
dence, thus prejudicing the jury, is
such man fit for judicial position?
When a Christian is accused of
wrong doing, and is innocent, should
he insist upon his innocence or be pa
tient and silent, and wait for the facts
to speak?
Paul was no doubt wise in refusing
to go to Jerusalem but was he equally
wise in not insisting that his trial be
finished at Caesarea, and in his appeal
to Caesar?
II you were a minister to be tried
for heresy, which tribunal would you
rather select, prejudiced Conference,
or Synod, or General Assembly, or
Convention, or a committee of secular
High Court Judges?
Chapter xxvi:1.11-Who was this
Agrippa and what had brought him to
Caesarea?
II mans cause is just, will knowl-
edge of all the facts always help him?
What are the leading points here
outlined. of Paul's defence before King
Agrippa?
"Why should it be thought a thing
incredible with you that God should
raise the dead?" VS..
Was Paul any better when he per-
secuted and caused Christians to be
put to death, than the Jews were then
in wanting to put him to death?
How do you estimate Paul's charac-
ter before his conversion?
Verses 12-1S-What points of re-
semblance are there between Paul's
conversion and that of a sinner to-
day?
Why did Paul so frequently describe
his conversion?
What was Gods object, as here de-
scribed in Paul's conversion, and what
is Gods object in every conversion?
Verses 1923-Is it possible that
some sinners get call from God fully
as marked as Paul's andsyet refuse to
comply and go On In their sins?
What difference is there between a
man before ono after he turns to God?
(Ths question must be answered in
writing by members Of the club.)
Verses 2432-Why did Festus in
terrupt Paul and say he was mad?
Why did not Festus and Agrippa
both turn to Cod seeing that they
were clearly convinced of the truth of
Christianity and their need of saliva
ton?
Why are not all persons Christians
who have heard the voice of God call
ing them to repentance?
