AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 1:1 The first account I made, Theophilus, was [a continuous report] about all the things that Jesus began to do and to teach [Luke 1:1-4] |
Subject: Where in Acts does it say that? |
Bible Note: Greetings Mitch! I will have to be brief. I need to run to the hospital and visit someone. 1) Allow me to use a different example. Suppose I were to say, "I like praise choruses, but in church I would rather sing hymns." I am not necessarily saying that I sing praise choruses outside of church. I could be saying that, but I also could simply be saying that of the two choices I would rather sing hymns. Thus, it would be going too far to say that Paul is contrasting 'in church' and 'out of church' in this verse. 2) This would be a good arguement except for the fact that 1 Cor. 14:15 does not use the phrase 'Holy Spirit'. The verse specifically says 'my spirit'. So, it would be a stretch to say that 1 Cor. 14:15 and Jude 20 refer to the same thing. 3) There are some who believe that Acts 2 describes both a miracle of speaking (tongues) and of hearing so that each one heard the tongues in his own language no matter what the speaker was actually saying. Given that the text specifically says that each heard his own language, I would have a hard time disagreeing with them. :) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
