That's so weird...without Pentecost there'd be no New Testament, since that's when the Holy Spirit descended on the Apostles, and without the inspiration of the H.S. their writings would've been just so much human speculation.

I remember several times where they say from the podium when X wrote his gospel or something to that effect. The most they gave was the Gospels weren't written soon after the events they described. I remember feeling insulted that this type of thing was never mentioned in the church.JDM929https://www.blogger.com/profile/04564871886719684186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776387418775994830.post-70003858390799468212012-05-18T04:49:35.067-07:002012-05-18T04:49:35.067-07:00I grew up in an area that is heavily Christian Ref...I grew up in an area that is heavily Christian Reformed, some Reformed Church. I went to a private Christian school until 7th grade. I knew a few Catholic people in high school, but I never noticed them doing the ash thing or heard them talking about lent. I don't know if I've even heard of Lent until I went to college.<br /><br />I did go to a large evangelical or pentecostal church until age 20, and they never mentioned it, much less followed it.JDM929https://www.blogger.com/profile/04564871886719684186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776387418775994830.post-53905932068997634502012-05-15T08:57:07.415-07:002012-05-15T08:57:07.415-07:00We're beginning to see why "jews" ha...We're beginning to see why "jews" had such a great interest in controlling as much of the internet as they do.
