Acts 2:14-41

Peter’s Sermon

But Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and proclaimed to them: “Men of Judah and all you residents of Jerusalem, let me explain this to you and pay attention to my words. For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it’s only nine in the morning. On the contrary, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:

And it will be in the last days, says God,
that I will pour out My Spirit on all humanity;
then your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.
I will even pour out My Spirit on My male and female slaves in those days,
and they will prophesy.
I will display wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood and fire and a cloud of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the great and remarkable Day of the Lord comes.
Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

“Men of Israel, listen to these words: This Jesus the Nazarene was a man pointed out to you by God with miracles, wonders, and signs that God did among you through Him, just as you yourselves know. Though He was delivered up according to God’s determined plan and foreknowledge, you used lawless people to nail Him to a cross and kill Him. God raised Him up, ending the pains of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by it. For David says of Him:

I saw the Lord ever before me;
because He is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart was glad,
and my tongue rejoiced.
Moreover, my flesh will rest in hope,
because You will not leave me in Hades. or allow Your Holy One to see decay.
You have revealed the paths of life to me;
You will fill me with gladness
in Your presence.

“Brothers, I can confidently speak to you about the patriarch David: He is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn an oath to him to seat one of his descendants on his throne. Seeing this in advance, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Messiah:

He was not left in Hades,
and His flesh did not experience decay.

“God has resurrected this Jesus. We are all witnesses of this. Therefore, since He has been exalted to the right hand of God and has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit, He has poured out what you both see and hear. For it was not David who ascended into the heavens, but he himself says:

The Lord declared to my Lord,
‘Sit at My right hand
until I make Your enemies Your footstool.

“Therefore let all the house of Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah!”

Forgiveness through the Messiah

When they heard this, they came under deep conviction and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles: “Brothers, what must we do?”

“Repent,” Peter said to them, “and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” And with many other words he testified and strongly urged them, saying, “Be saved from this corrupt generation!”

A Generous and Growing Church

So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about 3,000 people were added to them.

I'm saying Paul was changed from the pharisee known as Saul, that is the power of Jesus. The other apostles were suspicious too and that got sorted.

How do we even know Robert Frost wrote that poem? We weren't there..
(There are processes in place)

You can have all the opinions you'd like but when you display them as fact you take it to a different level where I'm able to do the same because I trust the Lord in what He says and wrote as absolute Truth.

I haven't judged you, I'm trying to talk to you and I have a habit of taking things literal, when you say opposite I think 'anti', when you say Paul/Saul is a Jew I think 'but he isn't', I'm sorry that it put us on the wrong footing. I think you may be assuming some things about me here, I am a follower of the Way of Jesus Christ in it's original meaning and I understand well the spiritual side of that relationship and even the cultural.

Paul pointed to Christ, not himself as final authority. Perhaps you are reading it wrong? It has all been translated and retranslated but God protects His Truth and it is a living world that we need not read alone.

Problem, reaction, solution
And people die stuck in the middle without ancient heating methods at their disposal, what modernity!

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both.
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

It seems you have some choice to make.
Either you believe God and the info He gave us or you believe the devils who do nothing but accuse.. I've made my choice.

Paul is an apostle of Christ, is from the tribe of Benjamin and was Roman citizen, Saul was a pharisee and Jesus set him straight. The bible, written by God through men, tells us all that and hides nothing, where do you get your false accusation?

Alien as is unknowable to a natural understanding because of the natural way a human brain 'works' to understand 'things'.

a) I see nature as combining each being into relation to itself and yes every other being comes into effect and can be affected.

b) Death is but a wave to ride into another state of being and I know a Guy that has beaten death and overcome the grave. I prophesy towards everlasting life and here am only warning of other forces trying to trap human beings into death.

I AM (je suis; jesus) implies taking possession over one self aka trying to steal what all gives each one freely, while murdering and destroying self in the process.

"I Am that I Am" -Yahweh
Jesus = Yahweh's Salvation
Christ = Anointed One

The Lord invites to be reunited there is no forced love in free will.
He has redeemed what was stolen and gives life from death even unto resurrection.
