Rome had a better citizenship in terms of fairness because of their system with censors. 2 highly regarded people[censors] were elected to go around ranking people every rights and giving them political rights and other things (Doc D). This was fair because it allowed people who worked really hard to rise in the amount of political rights and people who didn’t work very hard to lose some rights which it mentions in (Doc C),“In the Roman Republic, not all citizens received the same rights or political participation.” Evidently Rome had a better citizenship in terms of fairness because of their system with censors.

Upon his arrival in 51 AD, Corinth was a commercial crossroad, a melting pot full of devotees of various pagan cults and marked by a measure of moral depravity not unusual in a great seaport (Introduction of the First Letter to the Corinthians). At the time, Corinth was a large, culturally diverse city because of its location near the Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas, in modern-day Greece. Therefore, Corinth attracted trade and commerce being along the busy highway of the most powerful empire at the time, the Romans. However, after Roman campaigns descended upon Corinth, they sacked it, and no person was spared. As a result, Corinth crumbled into turmoil, and it wouldn’t rebound until much later when Julius Caesar revived Corinth as a Roman colony. After a laborious and dedicated effort, Corinth regained its former popularity and when Paul arrived one hundred years later, it had transformed into the most important city in Greece and the capital of the Roman province of Achaea. Now, Corinth developed into a bustling urban center with an ancient Greek heritage, but with that came the increasing worship of Greek cults, such as Aphrodite and Poseidon. There were pagan temples, immorality, and social disorder that gave Corinth such a notorious reputation. When Paul arrived at Corinth on his second missionary journey, he discovered, firsthand, the resentment of most Jews to his teachings, and so his best hope were the

The magistrates were people who occupied a public post and formed the administration of the Athenian state. They were submitted to rigorous public control. The magistrates were chosen by lot, using fava beans. Black and white beans were put in a box and depending on which color the person drew out they obtained the post or not. This was a way of eliminating the personal influence of rich people and possible intrigues and use of favors. There were only two categories of posts not chosen by lot, but by election in the Popular Assembly. These were strategos, or general, and magistrate of finance. It was generally supposed that significant qualities were needed to exercise each of those two offices. A magistrate's post did not last more than a year, including that of the strategoi and in this sense the continued selection of Pericles year after year was an exception. At the end of every year, a magistrate would have to give an account of his administration and use of public finances.

One reason that the system of citizenship in Rome was better was who was able to be a citizen they considered almost every human to be a citizen except slaves. One example of this is in document A when it tells us that all men, women, and children were able to be citizens. His evidence helps explain that Rome had a stronger system because when they let more people

Although slavery had been abolished in Abina’s region since 1874, she was still bought and treated as a slave. With the rise in demand for palm oil, which at the time was used as lubricant in factories, the need for slaves increased.

Paul became an advocate for the inclusion of the Gentiles among the ‘true’ followers of Christianity. Until this moment in history, Jewish Christians believed that non-Jews had to convert to Judaism and follow the law like them, which included many dietary restrictions and circumcision. Gentiles who worship in the synagogue but did not convert were only

The Algea civilization is located off the coast of Australia towards the island of Tahiti o the island of Malurus. The Algea civilization is unique, they live off the land, and the island is shaped like a crescent. The Algea is divided from the Starland, a civilization also on the island of Malurus, by an upstream river which makes it easier to allow the Starland to attack the Algea. Fortunately, the island is surrounded by mountains, cliffs, and sharp rocks that provide a natural defense from foreign attackers.

Simon Peter was an apostle chosen by God. Simon was a fisherman; he would go out on sea with his brother Andrew and his partners James, and Johns (they are also apostles). Simon Peter was made a fisher of men by God (Matthew 4:18-20). When you look at everything that Peter did as God directed his path you would be amazed. One of the main events in history Peter is known for is the Upper Room Experience.

It was the first in between time of the day, when the moon was fading and the sun was rising. Today was a day of "celebration", as a gift form Iah Ra tribe was to be given to a long time neighboring tribe today. This tradition started many years ago when they were enemies, for both tribes lost many warriors to a battle of land and pride. As a peace offering, Iah Ra gave a child of the moon as a bride to their strongest warrior as life companion, usually a bride.

In fact, several were Jews so it was like they shared in the Roman domination. A lot of people didn’t like Rome, but couldn’t do anything about it. So that’s like a double negative for tax collectors in the Roman Empire. Imagine if you were a civilian in this empire at that time. Where a foreign nation takes over and makes you pay them once they conquer you.

This verse talks about Paul’s trial in which he was being accused of committing crimes against the Jews of Jerusalem. While on the way they had planned to just kill Paul before the arrived but instead it didn’t not happen. He was made to go in front of Caesarea. And they talked about the acts in which he had committed and his views on the fact that he believed in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. They talked about his punishment and the crimes in which he had committed he then begins to explain much of his past and

During this portion of the trip, Paul and Barnabas journeyed through the central region of Asia Minor. Paul preached a salvation message to the Jews in Antioch Pisidia. After the message, many of the Jews followed after Paul and Barnabas who persuaded the Jews to continue in the grace of God. The next Sabbath, almost the whole city came to hear the Word of God from Paul and Barnabas, but the religious Jews spoke against Paul. The Bible says that Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and they told the Jews that the Gospel would now go to the Gentiles because of their unbelief. When the Gentiles heard this message, they rejoiced, glorified the Word of the Lord, and believed. The Jews stirred up an insurgency and started to persecute Paul and Barnabas, and the Jews expelled the men of God from their coasts. Paul and Barnabas’ response was to shake off the dust from their feet. The same thing happened to them in Iconium (Acts 13:14-Acts 14:6). After that, they fled to the cities of Lycaonia. In the city of Lystra, Paul healed a man who could not walk. After this miracle, the people of the city cried out, “The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men” (Acts 14:11). The people said that Barnabas was Jupiter and Paul was Mercury because he was the chief speaker. When Barnabas and Paul understood what was happening, they rent their clothes and begged the people to stop. They explained to the people that they were men just like them, and Barnabas and Paul told them that they should turn from that empty worship to the one True God (Acts

The book of Acts chapter nineteen, records roughly twenty verses that pertain to Demetrius and the events that took place during Paul’s three-year ministry at Ephesus. Over the course of these few years, Paul had the opportunity to preach the Gospel and teach in the local synagogue. Paul’s labors were not without fruit and many lives were being changed because of the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. The city of Ephesus, like many cities throughout Asia Minor, was inundated with idolatry. For the most part, Paul’s witness and testimony, which was presented to many of the idol worshippers, resulted in a majority of his converts. At the beginning of Paul’s ministry, many did not pay much attention or give any

Although many Gentiles accepted the Gospel of Jesus Christ, there were Jews that continued to display their anger towards the Gospel. There were some Jews that came and stirred up the crowd at Lystra against Paul and Barnabas. This crowd also stoned and left Paul for dead, but Paul did not allow that to stop him from preaching the Gospel to the city of Lystra. Lystra and Derbe proved to be fruitful areas to preach the Gospel, but not without their difficulties. One convert at Lystra on this
