Question

During the voyage to Rome, some people thought that Paul was a god because

Options

A)
he caused rain to fall
B)
an angel appeared to him
C)
he was not harmed by a viper
D)
he broke his chains easily

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

During Paul's voyage to Rome, he and his companions were shipwrecked on the island of Malta. While they were building a fire, a poisonous snake bit Paul's hand. However, he did not suffer any harm from the venom. This made the people of Malta believe that Paul was a god, as they thought that he had supernatural powers. This is why the correct option is C: he was not harmed by a viper. This event is recorded in Acts 28:1-6.

It is important to note that Paul himself did not want to be worshipped as a god. He used this opportunity to preach the gospel to the people of Malta and to show them the power of God. This event also shows that even though Paul had been through many trials and hardships, God protected him and kept him safe.

This story is an example of how people can easily be misled when they do not have a proper understanding of God and His power. It is important for Christians to have a strong faith in God and to trust in His protection and provision, even in difficult situations.
