Back to Acts

So the other day when I was like nothing new, I went back upstairs and I looked at what I had read the night before, and turns out there were some things that stood out to me.

First:

Chapter 4 verse 12:

Neither is there ^asalvation in any other: for there is none other ^bname under heaven given among men, whereby we must be ^csaved.

I've never seen must in a verse like this, and it just threw me off. I still don't know what to think of it. Maybe there is no meaning behind it, but I'm puzzled at the moment.

The next chapter starts off a bit frightening. I don't read chapter headings, so I got going and was startled and went back and read the heading.

This is what it says:

Ananias and Sapphira lie to the Lord and lose their lives—Apostles continue the miracles of Jesus—Peter and John are arrested; an angel delivers them from prison; they testify of Christ—Gamaliel counsels moderation.

Seriously? Wow! That's all I could think.

Read the verses. It's nuts.

Here's just one that blew my mind.

9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to ^atempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husbandare at the door, and shall carry thee out.

He told her she was going to die. It all seems a bit dramatic. What happened?

That story is verses 1-10 if you want to read the drama.

Tonight didn't yield much. Chapter 7 is a pretty great little synopsis of part of the Old Testament.

WAIT...What am I saying. (I forgot to highlight).

Peter and John visited this city where many had been baptized and the scriptures specifically say that they hadn't recieved the Holy Ghost yet.

Then you get this: There is more to the story if you want to read on,

17 Then ^alaid they their hands on them, and they received the ^bHoly Ghost.

There is more to the story if you want to read on, but that shows my point. How do other faiths miss this? We are the only ones that do this last time I checked. HELLO! THE SIGNS ARE ALL THERE BIBLE TOTTING CHRISTIANS. That was a bit harsh. Oh well, they can't claim ignorance.
