  • A2103 ~ in Antioch of Pisidia
    BIBLE RADIO PRODUCTIONS www.bibleradio.org.au BIBLE ADVENTURES SCRIPT: A2103 ~ In Antioch of Pisidia. Welcome to Bible Adventures. Help for today. Hope for tomorrow. Jesus is Lord of all. In today’s Bible Adventure, the Apostle Paul gives a history lesson on the foundations of the nation of Israel. It is helpful for us to take a look at this history behind the current nations of the world, and come to a point of understanding that those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it. One of the most significant problems experienced by people from all generations is their desire to dominate others. They either covet someone else’s possessions and so try to gain them by killing the rightful owners, or they insist that their religious beliefs are the correct ones and cause death to dissenters. These things are the heart of the spiritual battle between God and Satan and their followers. Somewhere around the world, there are wars in progress and needless destruction occurring as one group of people push its idea of self-superiority over other groups. For such people, peace is such a temporary thing at best and daily suffering is part of life. Hope in God may be the only answer to the despair brought about by such conflicts. The rise of Christianity had a moderating effect on many forms of superiority behaviour. Although the Christian Church went through an historical period of serving the state, it claimed to stand above all states, as morality should stand above power. With history as our guide, democracy has done less harm and more good than any other form of government.
