How many visits did paul make to corinth?
Asked by Wiki User
Paul visited Corinth at least three times that we know of. The first visit was when he founded the church (Acts 18). He stayed in Corinth for eighteen months teaching, training, and working in his tent-making business. This is also when he met Priscilla and Aquila--they were Jews who had been kicked out of Rome by Claudius (Acts 18:2)--who became his close friends and ardent supporters in the ministry.
The second visit was a "sad" or "hard" visit (2 Cor. 2:1). This visit followed the letter we know as 1 Corinthians (which was really his second letter to them). Apparently, things were not getting any better, so Paul went in-person to address some of the problems (probably dealing with the "sinful man" mentioned in 1 Cor. 5).
The third visit (2 Cor. 13:1) was after he wrote the letter we know as 2 Corinthians. He returned on one of his last missionary journeys and remained there for another three months (Acts 20:3) at which time he wrote "Romans" (c. A.D. 55).

Not sure what you mean by "ancient," but some of the larger sailing ships of the late 1700s and early 1800s could make 7 to 10 knots, with some of the speedier ones getting up near 15 knots. Hope that helps.

'I shall only tell you if you give Corith a full and never ending water supplies' said the King sneakily.
'Yes, Yes whatever' said the water god haistily
'Zeus has her and is heading for Mount Olympis' spoke the King. The water god said his thanks then zoomed of towards Mount Olympis, and rescued his daughter keeping his promise and giving the King the four Splenders of Corinth (gigantic lakes), Zeus wasn't happy at the King though and orded his brother Hades to send him to the underworld. The King heard of these plans and said to his wife 'When they take me to the Underworld do not put a coin under my tongue. His wife was puzzled but did what she was told. When he reached the River Styx, Hades saw a beggar - it was actually the king pretending to be a beggar.
'Where old man is your golden coin to cross the river' demanded Hades.
'My wife and i are so poor we can not afford it' lied the King. Hades was livid.
'Go back to the earth and teach your reulsive wife a lesson' screamed Hades forcing the King back up to the earth where he met his wife and they hid in a little cottage in Corinth away from the gods and laughed at Hades stupidity and there ingenious plan.
What did sait paul do in corinth?
Asked by Wiki User
n Corinth Paul experienced many encouragements and discouragements. It was a dangerous city to work in but the LORD afforded the apostle a measure of protection and he was able to stay there for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God. v11.
(B) Discouragements.
(1) Paul was daunted by the task facing him.
Corinth was never going to be an easy place to witness for Jesus. It was sited on the narrow isthmus of land that joined Northern to Southern Greece. This important strategic situation meant Corinth became a great market town and the home of the Isthmian games. Corinth was also a very wicked city. Located on a hill overlooking the city was a temple to Aphrodite. The shrine was serviced by 1000 priestesses who acted as so called sacred prostitutes. Every evening they would go down into Corinth to ply their trade.
Paul felt inadequate for the work Jesus had called him to do. The lion-hearted apostle was apprehensive about preaching the gospel in such a cess pool of iniquity. He wrote later to the church at Corinth: I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. 1Cor2v3.
Paul's example should both comfort and challenge us when we are fearful about doing God's will. Sometimes we are given a hard job to do. We may be called to: care for a sick relative, visit a dying man in hospital, discipline an erring brother, go on a long and dangerous journey, give our testimony to non-Christians or run a youth club for difficult children. It is a comfort to know that Paul experienced weakness and fear. It is a challenge to realise that notwithstanding his apprehension Paul preached Christ crucified with a demonstration of the Spirit's power. 1Cor2v4.
(2) Limited success in the synagogue.
Once again the Jews resisted Paul's ministry in the synagogue. Luke suggests this when he writes: Every sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks. v4. Paul failed to convinced the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah and in the end they actively oppose him.
It is hard to cope with failure. I had been a reasonably successful teacher until I resigned to care for my father. When I resumed teaching in another school I inherited a run down department. For two years the GCSE results of my pupils were the worst in the school. It was absolutely sickening to appear such a failure. It was wormwood and gall to my ego.
One of the reasons an increasing number of non-conformist pastors in England burn out, succumb to stress and break down is the intense disappointment of ministering to the gospel hardened. I was talking recently to a long retired pastor who said, "I couldn't be a minister today. When I was a young man in the 1960's there was some movement - conversions occurred on a regular basis. It was encouraging. Now - nothing happens." Year in and year out God's servants proclaim Christ crucified and there are no conversions. This is depressing. It deadens zeal. No farmer would be enthusiastic about sowing the precious seed if summer after summer there was no harvest.
