Phil WhiteheadHOST
But God wants you, you know, I'll just rush ahead.
Phil WhiteheadHOST
Paul was trying to get in, and his buddy, were trying to get into Bithynia, or Asia Minor as it was.
Phil WhiteheadHOST
It says the Holy Spirit forbade them.
Phil WhiteheadHOST
What does that mean? It doesn't say the Holy Spirit spoke to them.
Dan CarlinHOST
That was vintage Caesar.
Dan CarlinHOST
When he was still in his teens, he was sent to Bithynia, which is over in Asia Minor, and supposedly the king of Bithynia took a fancy to him, and they had an affair, or not, but the reputation of having maybe lost his virginity to the king of Bithynia followed Caesar around for the rest of his life.
Dan CarlinHOST
Some historians suggest that he didn't care that much because at least it was getting his name out there in front of the public and everyone would know who he was.
Dan CarlinHOST
That's the same reason you walk around the forum in a toga with sleeves with fringe on it, a little like Elvis Presley, and wearing your belt really loose and your toga hanging, you know, off of you in an almost wanton fashion.

She came on board, and he put out to sea.
speaker_4NARRATOR
And a certain Menecrates, who published a history of the Bithynian city of Nicaea, says that Theseus, with Antiope on board his ship, spent some time in those parts, and that there chanced to be with him on this expedition three young men of Athens, who were brothers, Eunios, Thoas, and Soloas.
speaker_4NARRATOR
This last, he says, fell in love with Antiope, unbeknown to the rest, and revealed his secret to one of his intimate friends.
speaker_4NARRATOR
That friend made overtures to Antiope, who positively repulsed the attempt upon her, but treated the matter with discretion and gentleness, and made no denunciation to Theseus.

MBNARRATOR
It was not, so the story ran, from any distress or aberration of spirit that he forsook the ways of men, but he had tasted the joy of more august companionship and had been honored with a celestial marriage.
MBNARRATOR
The goddess Egeria loved him and bestowed herself upon him, and it was his communion with her that gave him a life of blessedness and a wisdom more than human.
MBNARRATOR
However, that this story resembles many of the very ancient tales which the Phrygians have received and cherished concerning Attis, the Bithynians concerning Herodotus, the Arcadians concerning Endymion, and other peoples concerning other mortals that were thought to have achieved a life of blessedness in the love of the gods, is quite evident.
MBNARRATOR
And there is some reason in supposing that deity, who is not a lover of horses or birds but a lover of men, should be willing to consort with men of superlative goodness, and should not dislike or disdain the company of a wise and holy man.

Donald HinesNARRATOR
The exact character of this office and its rank are still undecided by historical writers, some of whom attribute to him other offices not mentioned by St. Gregory, which most probably were filled by a namesake.
Donald HinesNARRATOR
On the 11th of October, A.D. 368, the city of Nicaea was almost entirely destroyed by an earthquake, and Caesarius miraculously escaped with his life.

To fail to reverence God and His boundaries is a sure recipe for destruction.

Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
Terry RandolphGUEST
You're going to be the Lord.
Terry RandolphGUEST
And you know what's kind of interesting because we were looking there at Acts 16, you notice when He said there, and when they were gone through Phaedra and the region of Galatia, forbidden to the Holy Ghost to preach the word into Asia, after they were come to Mycenae they passed through and went to Bithynia, but the Spirit suffered them not, and they passing by Mycenae came to Troas and a vision appeared to Paul in the night there stood a man of Macedonia and prayed him saying come over unto Macedonia and help us and listen to what he says he says and after he had seen the vision immediately we endeavored to go into Macedonia assuredly gathering the Lord it was the Lord He uses the word, the same word here as he used in Acts 9.
Terry RandolphGUEST
He said, the same Lord that saved me is the Lord that's guided me and directed me.
Terry RandolphGUEST
It was the Lord that told us to go to preach the gospel unto them.
Ron RalphGUEST
Now when they had gone throughout Pergia and the region of Galatia and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost... to preach the word in Asia.
Ron RalphGUEST
After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit suffered them not.
Ron RalphGUEST
First, He forbids them, and now how does He do that? Did He just say, No! He forbids, he suffers them not.
Ron RalphGUEST
But then you go down to verse 10.
