Nothing big today. lol. Just questions and comments.
v. 4, 12, 34 Each time Paul speaks it mentions that prominent women believed. Not that it isn't important, but it doesn't typically mention women (usually assumed when it just says 'men' believe), so why does it start now?
v. 6b. Still one of the coolest verses ever. "These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also" because they follow their king Jesus instead of Caesar.
v. 9. "Then they made Jason and the others post bond and let them go" What does post bond mean?
v. 11. They examined the scriptures everyday to make sure what Paul was saying was true. It doesn't take much to either listen and accept or listen and reject, but to listen and then go and find out if someone is telling the truth takes effort and initiative. I wish that we'd see people do this when we share the gospel, but I guess he was in a synagogue speaking to Jews. I don't usually do that.
v. 30 "In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent" Are there idols in our lives that we are worshiping instead of God? He commands we repent for He will judge with justice.
