so it is the after hours of tusday, just got home from Moon Base, now siting on the foor of my room with Alistair my cat and cold one listenting to some hardstyle with insents burning.
so another nite of whut we call Bible study tnite we finished up chapter 5 of Acts and u know whut as far as our talking whent we rilly didnt davel much in the text we wher going thru we ended up just talking about other random subject like (i rilly wonder whut Jesus's life wus like growing up like, wus he more in the state of Adem and Eve thu his life, or wus he simply purfict) you know that kinda stuf.. one thing that wus a kicker for us wus this dood named Gamilal tord the end of chapter 5. he wus prity much a dood who wus respected buy the entire city, the context of whut hapend is just that the tempel leaders wanted to kill the apostels becus they wher cosing the masses to tern away from the old law (religen). but wut wus cool wus whut Gamilal sed.. in a nut shel he told the tempel leaders that they shouldent kill the apostels becus if whut they wher doing wus of human desires then it would fail inevidubly, so thers no need to kill them, and if its somthing actuly of God then if they kill the apostels they are fiteing agenst God, and lets be onist if God is owly a sliver of whut we can conjer up Him to being then it probly isnt a good idea to fite with Him...
in a nutshel if its not of God it will enevitably fail at some point even without our interaction, and if it is of God then ther is no stoping it.
after our (Godstory talk) and the food the amazing Claire made wich wus salmen noodels and a tipe of sweet peper saus. along with wut i beleav wus a basl and lemon maraing and our usual close to 45 minets of just siting and talking with God praying for eachother and others in our lives. we satdown and watched an episode of startreck and a bit of futcherama then it wus bed time for the lot of us.. except me.. iv got tomaro off so il be up for a wile ... probly guna finish my beer play a little portal 2 or pokemon befor bed... hopfuly hang out with Jery tmaro being that we both hav the day off ... we'l se wuts in store ....
goodnite all
I was juuust thinking to myself, dang! I should have written something about Tuesday night. And then I saw this. Thanks haha cuz I was having a ridiculous time trying to remember our conversations.
ReplyDeleteGamaliel. What a weird guy! He was a pharisee, a "doctor of the law" in fact, but he manages to still be pretty bad ass. I love Acts 5:36-37 where he talks about (from what I understood) cults that had risen a pissed the pharisees off before. As soon as the leaders were killed, the followers scattered as though the cult never existed. Not so with Jesus. This I thought backs up the whole, "If this is the work of men, it will inevitably fail, but if its God there's no stopping it" argument really swell(5:38-39).
Also, I think you are lovely.
Didja know Gamaliel is the guy who taught and mentored Saul of Tarsus before he met Jesus and became lil ol Paul? Which means he'sthe guy God picked to teach our boy who wrote most of the new Testament.
ReplyDeleteJust a few minutes ago we were sitting here chattin' about what "church" oughta look like, and I think it oughta look a more lot like your Tuesday and a lot less like the double minded you're free but you're not you still got the old nature and gotta follow the rules double talk of most church's Sunday.
Sounds like a bunch of friends who share life all week and love each other---SWEET!
We learned that about Gamaliel last Tuesday. Blew my mind!
