Acts 9:26–27
Paul wrote half of the New Testament, after being a freakin' nightmare
for the persecuted Christians. But Paul would not have even made it if
it was not for Barnabas.
When Paul tried to approach the apostles they were, obviously, kind of
uncool about the idea of hanging out with a dude who weeks before was
chopping Christian heads off.
But Barnabas stood up for the guy. He felt in his spirit to believe that
Paul (formerly known as "Saul" ) was not a player anymore, but that he
had turned his heart towards Jesus. And he took the risk of interceding
for him with his crew.
Who remembers Barnabas today? Few. But let me tell you something:
Paul would tell you that, right after Jesus, the coolest dude is Barnabas
because he was a true friend.
Be like Barnabas today. Intercede for someone to succeed in life.

The post that was quoted here has been removedhey catfoodtim, in the spirit of Jesus, why dont i make a rope whip, over turn the
money changers, drive out the cattle from the temple and turn this tuna salad into 60
gallons of wine? when did you become dictator of the forum? before or after you
were a submarine commander? please dont tell me what to do, do i tell you what to
do? no? well see if you like it, shut up a yo face!
Originally posted by Seitsesure thing! although your contribution i think would be well received there also.
It is a general thought for encouraging.
I do not wish to debate anything spiritual but
to share love. Spirituality is for nutcases, just
like debates. General is for us, the patzers
and laypeople.
To the original poster:
Is this thread about the ACTS of Paul, c.f. Gascoine in the F.A.Cup final that he cried about, after being dead, strechered off, and then 3 days later signing for a different religion?
Or is it the one about the ACTS of Paul, c.f. Daniels, who was a master of magic with his wife Debbie, and ressurected himself continually for 3 days on the run, before hitting the point where he couldn't open his rock door?
I don't know too many dinosaurs called Paul, but these two came to mind.
What say ye? 😉
