Paul's Rescue by the Dissensions of His Enemies
Christian Age
Acts 23:6-10
But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brothers…


When Cadmus had sown the dragon's teeth and they sprang up from the ground armed giants, a great army, he took up a rock and threw it among them. So that instead of slaying him they went to fighting one another. And they slew one another till only one tall giant remained, and he became the helper of Cadmus in carrying stones for the walls of the city of Thebes he began to build. So it is wise to let the enemies of Christianity fight one another; one tears down what another builds up. So it has been through the ages, whether they use historic criticism or geology, or antiquarian researches or development theories, or any form of science for their weapons. But always after the battle is over there is left some solid, settled truth which never fails to help build the city Of our God.
