PAUL EXPLAINS HOW TO KNOW THE UNKNOWN GOD @ Agora (Athens-16)
Today's visit to the Agora is when we focus on the "altar to the unknown god" that Paul spoke of in Acts 17.
What a lesson for us all this will be.
What did Paul do when he was confronted with paganism? When he went to Athens do you remember he walked into Athens and he had just gotten done with a wonderful ministry in Philippi but he left there and came down to Athens? In Acts chapter 17 he was walking around Athens and he went, Oh, an altar to unknown God, oh there’s another one, and he walked all around the city and looked at all those altars.
Then he said I’d like to tell you about the unknown God. What’s interesting is in 600 BC, 600 years before the Apostle Paul, what had happened was a black death hit Athens. The people were dying like flies and an old seer, an old prophet of some sort came in from the hills of Macedonia. He came down, he said to them - you have offended a God you don’t know.
What you have to do is you have to offer him sacrifices. He said what you do is bring in a whole bunch of sheep and let them loose and wherever they sit down pile up rocks and slaughter those sheep on top of those piles of rocks and make sacrifices to this unknown God. So, they brought in hundreds of sheep, let them loose.
They built little altars and killed them and sacrifice them and left those altars in Athens. In Paul’s days, there were altars all over the city right in the middle of the road. If a sheep had stopped there, they killed him right there and put the altar up and they never moved those altars. What’s interesting is, according to the legend from 600 BC the plague stopped. So, there was kind of a vestige of a past memory of 600 years before in Athens that there was some unknown, they didn’t know who he was but when they had killed these lambs their plague stopped. Paul said I’d like to tell you who the unknown God is, and he told them about Christ.

CRYSTAL CLEAR PROOF JESUS IS NOT GOD 📜 Jesus said, Why Do You call me good ? ” No one is good except God alone ( Luke 18 : 19 ) ( Jesus proved he is not god by saying only God is Good ) 📜 Bible Says, no one can See God ( 1 John 4:2O - John 5:37 ) ( This proves Jesus can't be God, because the people have seen Jesus 📜 The bible makes it Very clear, God is not a Man ( -Numbers 23 : 19 ) ( How then can Jesus be God and human❓) 📜 But about that Day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father ( Mark 13:32 ) ( The fact that Jesus does not know the future proves he is not God ) 📜 The next day as they were Leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. ( -Mark 12 -13 ) ( How can God not know ❓ )

Calvary or Golgotha, where GOD said the Lamb will be provided, So it was written from Moses and Aron. (two Witnesses) I believe. If it wasn’t for Paul would we even know, thanks be to God in Yeshua’s name. 🙏

There were multiple altars to the unknown god.
PAUL EXPLAINS HOW TO KNOW THE UNKNOWN GOD @ Agora (Athens-16)" (Sorry for the VERY long "comment". But I believe it NEEDS to be espoused) Yes Sir...Paul did a great job; being before satan-led, Godless "Heretics"; all around him. And... ...that is like today in America; where MOST hate; even the name of Jesus! Especially*, when the Born Again's quote Jesus. Worse: when they say Jesus IS God. For most people in this once Righteous nation now; wants to, in essence, kill them. But Jesus prophesied this in... Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Note: The word "saved" in that verse; is NOT about "Salvation"; as many Christians believe it is. For that word means: I believe Jesus is saying, "Even though they will hate you, I will save you from their hatred!" And Jesus also said in... Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it would be better for him that a millstone was hanged about his neck, and he was drowned in the depth of the sea. Plus, Jesus also in.. Mark 6:11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Praise Jesus' Holy Name. End of Story and I rest me case... ...In any case Sir, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN! * Sadder; MOST Christians, in essence, HIDE Jesus and others just use "Christ". Or Jesus Christ or Christ Jesus. Which should've never happened. For the word "Christ" means "Messiah" in Hebrew (Savior and the "Anointed One", in English). But that is NOT His name! Rather: it's just a "title". Because Jesus is MUCH more; than being anointed and a Savior. Thus... please USE the word Jesus; and NOT the word God only. Because the word God does NOT tell the world WHO God is! Better: "Jesus WHO is the only True God". Now that says it ALL! AMEN!
What's with the creepy az background noise?
