Raymond, what did you think of this section? As I read, I wondered if you would have a new perspective on the book of Acts having seen riotous crowds of people, and different religions close up.
At first, when I read about the crowds being stirred up by the few angry people I was like, come on, how does that happen? But then I thought about India. It totally happens here. Mobs will gather and throw rocks through windows and burn cars and buildings and stuff, and usually for no good reason (what is a good reason?). It is crazy. The same stuff still happens today. Praise God it does not happen much in the US. I wonder how much the demonic presence here has to do with stirring up the crowds? I dunno.
What was your favorite book on the 1st read-through?
Welcome to our Study Blog!
Hello and welcome to the 2008 New Testament Study Blog. The goal of this blog is to provide a vehicle for users to have world wide Bible study of the New Testament. All participants are invited to read the passage for the week and comment on your thoughts, feelings and revelations. Proverbs 27 says that "as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another" and Ecclesiastes 4:12 says "A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." So let's together be sharp and strong for the Lord in 2008!
