" When They Heard This They Were Enraged.… "

The following quotation ir provided regarding Asia, namely: " ASIA  (Āsiȧ)  in the New Testa-ment refers to a Roman province on the west of Asia Minor whose capital was Ephesus.  The Roman province of Asia comprised generally the southwest portion of Anatolia.  Its first capital was Pergamum, but the capital was later changed to Ephesus.  Asia residents were in Jerusalem at Pentecost (Acts 2:9).  Paul the apostle traveled and preached extensively in Asia (Acts 19:10,[sic]22) especially in the neighborhood of Ephesus; but God forbad him to preach there prior to his Macedonian call (Acts 16:6).  Men of Asia led to Paul's arrest in Jerusalem (Acts 21:27).  1 [sic] Peter was addressed to Christians in Asia.  Asia was the location of the seven churches to whom the Book of Revelation was addressed.  Asia was known for its worship of Artemis (Acts 19:27).  See Rome; Roman Empire. "1  The following quotation is provided regarding Asia Minor, namely: " ASIA MINOR, CITIES OF  (Ā´siȧ Mī´ nŏr)  The cities located on the Anatolian peninsula (modern-day Turkey).  Cities of Asia Minor important to the New Testament accounts included Alexandria [sic] Troas, Assos, Ephesus, Miletus, Patara, Smyrna, Pergamum, Sardis, Thyatira, Philadelphia, Laodicea, Colossae, Attalia, Antioch, Iconium, Lystra, Derbe, and Tarsus.  The cities figured prominently in the apostle Paul's missionary journeys, several of the churches receiving epistles.  Among the list are the ' Seven Cities ' of the Revelation. "2  Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul's travel companions, were dragged into the theater in Ephesus ( see Acts 19:29, for example ).  NOTE: The picture, located at the upper, left corner of this paragraph, was downloaded from the " bing.com " web page.3

The proper attitude that sinners ( see Matthew 26:36-46 ( especially verse 45, for example ), for example ) must have, toward the gospel message, is one of contriteness and trembling at God's word.  In Isaiah 66:1, 2, it is written, "66a Thus says the LORD: b ' Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what is the house that you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest?  2c All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the LORD.  d But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word. '"  God commands humility ( see James 4:10, for example ).

There can be problems with anger in the church.  In James 4:1, it is written, "4 What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you?  Is it not this, that your passions4 are y at war within you?5 "  Qaurrels and fights in the church can be avoided through brotherly love, for example ( see Hebrews 13:1, for example ).

In 2 Timothy 2:24, it is written, " 24 And r the Lord's servant4 must not be quarrrelsome but s kind to everyone, t able to teach, patiently enduring evil. "  Jesus endured hostility from sinners against Himself ( see Hebrews 12:1-6, for example ).  Please seek and read from the book of the LORD ( see Isaiah 34:16, for example ).
