Question

in Acts 27: 10-13. . Paul gave his shipmates what advice, yet what decision was made?

Answer 1

In Acts 27:10-13, the Apostle Paul advises his shipmates and the ship’s captain not to set sail from Fair Havens, warning them that if they do, they would face great harm to the ship and their lives because of the impending stormy weather. However, despite Paul’s warning, the decision was made to set sail anyway, as the majority on the ship overruled his advice. They chose to proceed, seeking to reach a more favorable port for the winter, which ultimately led them into a severe disaster at sea. This episode highlights the theme of heeding wise counsel versus following the majority opinion, particularly in critical situations.
