Acts Chapter 2

verse 7-13 - Amazing! I'd love to instantly be able to speak another language. And to be able to witness to others so easily...Why is it there are always those who make fun? Those who automatically disbelieve?

verse 17-21 - I don't get what will be happening here....the last days? As in just before Jesus come back? God will be doing these things?

17" 'In the last days, God says,

I will pour out my Spirit on all people.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy,

your young men will see visions,

your old men will dream dreams.

18Even on my servants, both men and women,

I will pour out my Spirit in those days,

and they will prophesy.

19I will show wonders in the heaven above

and signs on the earth below,

blood and fire and billows of smoke.

20The sun will be turned to darkness

and the moon to blood

before the coming of the great

and glorious day of the Lord.

21And everyone who calls

on the name of the Lord will be saved.'

Acts Chapter 1

My thoughts after reading...

Who actually wrote Acts? I'm sure I could figure it out but surely one of you guys know...I'm lazy..hehe.

verse 18 - Judas bought a field? I thought he hung himself after betraying Jesus?

verse 26 - Casting lots to find a new disciple...weird way of picking? Did God influence the "lots"? Or was it more like gambling? Wonder how it worked back then.

Our Bible Study

So I know this isn't the best way to post for group discussion but its all I have for now. All you have to do is comment back and whenever you go to view comments, you should see everyone's comments on the topic. I'll be looking for a better way to do this project, but until then...enjoy.

New Project

I've decided to start a new project. I want as many people to get involved as possible. I want to start reading different chapters in the bible and discuss what we think of them. I feel like I need to study more and get a better understanding of my religion. I figure I'll post new "assignments" periodically for us to read and then discuss. Please feel free to comment and give opinions, I want to learn from each of you.

1st Assignment: Acts chapters 1-5
