Now, finish reading Act 5 and answer the following questions in a blog post. These questions will be checked for completion and understanding.

The bible was built on four biblical acts.The first was the act of creation, when God created everything the heavens and the earth including everything within it. The second was the actof fall, when Adam and Eve committed adultery, meaning they theirselves ahead of the one who created them. They want to be more powerful and greater then him, at the result we are paying for they iniquities. The third act was the act of redemption, when Christ came and died for our sins. The fourth act was restoration, after Christ died everything that was old within us became new, everything that was dead came alife, everyone that was lost became found by his blood. To summarie, we continue to make the same mistakes that Adam and Eve did decades ago. We put

Acts of the Apostles chronicles the rapid advancement of the Gospel by way of the gift of the Holy Spirit. “The Holy Spirit in the Acts of the Apostles: The Charismatic Community in Mission” takes into account the narratives succeeding Pentecost including Spirit Baptisms from Samaria to Ephesus (Acts

The book of Acts is known as 'the birth of the church'. Acts recounts the story of

Whether one chooses to view the text by title of The Acts of Paul, The Acts of Thecla, or The Acts of Paul and Thecla, shows how one is likely to view the tale itself. An entirely different perspective can be formed from reading the various versions by different names. For instance, when reading The Acts of Paul, the story is focused on Paul and his contributions to Christianity. When reading The Acts of Paul and Thecla or simply The Acts of Thecla, a new perspective is formed viewed in a feminine light. This version focuses on Thecla’s dedication to an ascetic lifestyle and portrays the influence a woman can have in the Christian tradition. The acts of Paul and Thecla are widely disputed on a number of aspects. In question is the

Some times the question of “Where is God” surfaces with all the adversities, and I find myself asking “what is God doing for all these people who are suffering?” But however amidst all the issues I know that He is there, and all these problems and conflicts do not change the fact that God exists, and I still have hope for change for these suffering people no matter what the circumstance.

Jer 17:10 (KJV) I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

The unique experience of the Jerusalem church at Pentecost in Acts 2 occurred in similarly public and significant ways for

Of whom i have picked out the very best, for both their nether purse and money chest."(The wife of Bath’s 44-46) during that time people belief was that widows should not remarried but become nuns or stay single for the rest of their lifetime, something that did not sit well with Bath's wife which is when she turned to the bible to try and make a good argument on her case she cited the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman when Jesus met her by the well; Bath's wife said "Except i ask, why is the fifth man Was not a husband to the Samaritan? How many might she have in marriage yet I have never heard tell in all my age about this any number definite. (The wife of Bath's 21-24) Bath's wife argument was that if the bible did not mention an exact number of how many times she could be married then it meant that it was not a sin for her to do so. The wife of Bath's does sound like she was really a sinful and lustful woman specially when she says "I'll tell the truth; those husband that i had, Some three of them were good, and two were bad...So help me God, I laugh to remember How pitiful a night I made them labor! (The wife of Bath's 201-208) she saw marriage and sex as a business transaction. In this tale I was able to see that sin was really looked down on, which is probably why she felt the need to explain herself, when people heard this tale they

As we pour into others, God continually pours into us; continually working in and through us conforming us to the image of Christ through serving others.

1. The description of Acts 7 paints a clear and accurate picture of what is being described inside Sanhedrin, the highest court in Jerusalem. Stephen had been arrested and brought before the court where the high priest asks Stephen if the charges of blasphemy an alleged attack against the law are true. Instead of defending himself, Stephen addresses the court with a formal charge against the Jews. In addition, Stephen delivers his sermon by chronologically walking the court through a geographical narrative starting with God's covenant with Abraham. Stephen reminded the Jewish leaders about Mesopotamia the origin of their ancestor Abraham and his journey with God. Abraham received instructions from God to leave his country and everyone behind

So now arise go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land which I am giving to thee and the Israelites.” The Lord further said to Joshua, “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.” When I reflect on this conversation between God and Joshua, I have the assurance, that God has not changed and the spiritual ramifications overwhelmed me. The veterans can reflect on the conversation between God and Joshua and realize the same God that was with Joshua; also, protected them during their military service and will continue throughout their Christian journey as disciples. The veterans can discover valuable spiritual resources, which are embedded in the scriptures when Joshua completed the assigned task through obedience. The veterans can also integrate spiritual faith into their daily encounters with the Lord by being obedient.

Their is much debate surrounding the use of the charismatic gifts in Acts. Many questions arise about how to use such gifts, and whether or not they can be used today in the first place. The debate regarding the continuation and the cessation of the spiritual gifts, the meaning of which we will clarify in a moment, is a relatively modern one. Although we read about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost in Acts, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the early church of the New Testament, history is more or less silent on this issue. It was not until the early
