Bible Question: Thanks Edwin :), perhaps I was not very clear regarding my question. What I meant is in Acts 2:17 God declares that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all mankind and in Acts 2:18 Even on My Bondslaves, both Men and Women, I will in those days pour forth of my spirit. My question was if God already pour out His Spirit upon all mankind at Act 2:17 why would there be Act 2:18 ? Thanks |
Bible Answer: fro5bite, You were quite clear in your question,Edwins answer to you was right on the money.Acts 2:17,18 are connected,they are inclusive of what Peter is quoting from Joel 2:28-32. Take these verses in context of what Peter is preaching in Acts 2. Verse 18 is not something seperate but part of the same picture. In Christ, lionheart |
