Here are my answers for the questions in Lesson # 7~
1. Do you have the same joy as David did?
Yes I do have the joy that comes from having Jesus Christ as my Savior, Lord and Master of my life! I was eleven years old when I first accepted Him into my life to guide and direct me through this journey here on earth. I am saved by the blood of Jesus that He shed on the cross.
2. What did you learn from this portion of Scripture?
I learn something new each time I read a scripture that I have read many times before.
David was sure of the hope that God would send the chosen One, the Messiah, as I am sure that He sent Him the first time. I know that He will return for me and all of His chosen people, the church. This means all who have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior.
I am an not worthy of such a great Love!!

I do take the Bible very seriously! Therefore, I take the study of its scriptures serious and honor the words in it as Gods Holy Words. They are His infaliable Words! I beleave with all my heart that the writters of the Bible were inspired by God. You can stand on them and build your life accordingly to what you read and learn from studying the Holy Scriptures. If you are listening to a speaker or reading anything that does not line up with what the Bible has to say, stear clear of their teachings. As a little one at our church once said,,,if you want to know something, you can find it in the Bible!
This is the reason why we need to know what the Bable says and do not take the word of anyone else, but read it for ourselves.
2 Timothy 3:15-17 (NIV)
15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
May God always recieve the glory, not me! I am so unworthy of such a Great Love as my Savior Jesus Christ has for me. He took my place, He died on the cross for me and all lost sinners. He was, He is, He always will be the Great I AM!
Jesus Christ is the Great I AM
Jesus Christ claimed to be the “I AM.” It is the personal name of the God of the Old Testament (Exodus 3:13-14). On several occasions it is recorded that Jesus used the “I AM” formula in attesting to His deity. He claimed to be the LORD God, Jehovah, Yahweh.
The greatest of all the names for the Lord Jesus Christ is the “I AM.”
This is why the apostle Paul wrote: “God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11). Jesus is Lord. The name that is above all other names is “Lord,” and it is equivalent to “Jehovah” or Yahweh. This is the exact equivalent to the words, “I AM.”
The name that is above all earthly and heavenly names is Yahweh, the great “I AM THAT I AM.”
The apostle Paul tells us that the Lord Jesus is so above all other beings that all who are in heaven and the earth will bow and worship Him. He is God. He is not one among many gods, but the One and Only (Acts 4:12; 1 Tim. 2:5; 1 Cor. 8:4).

http://www.entrewave.com/view/reformedonline/Pentecost,%20part%202.htm
this is what I have found online,,,,I will do research on the author of this page. I learned that the Majority Text is the orginal documents,,,and the Minority Text are the ones that have come latter,,,,,very interesting!!
The phrase “with one accord” found in the Majority Text indicates that the believers in the Jerusalem church were “with one mind” (homothumadon). They were all focused on the apostles’ teaching. There was unity or “like-mindedness” among the 120. The Minority Text reading simply indicates that the disciples were all “together” (omou) as a group. While it is true that the disciples were all together in one place, the Majority Text reading is to be preferred.
When one confesses the extensive ministry of Jesus and the apostles in Jerusalem and the surrounding areas, the fact that only 120 Christians were present that day is rather shocking.24, Prior to the coming of the Spirit, the church was a small island in a sea of unbelief and hostility. With Pentecost that was all about to change.
The following website you can read about the author of the page.

Lets Have A Closer Look
Qestions
1. What do you think it means when it says that when they heard this sound occurred in verse 6" Could they too hear the sound of the Holy Spirit Coming or did they hear the apostles speaking as they came out of the room.
They could hear the sound of the Holy Spirit!
Acts 2:6-8
New International Version 1984
6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language?
You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you.
And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. Romans 8:9
2. How do you think you would feel like if this happened to you?
I would be so amased that I would be one of the first people to recieve the indwelling of the Holy Spirt that I depend upon in my life to guide me in my Savior Jesus' ways.
3. Put yourself in the city and you have all the people talking to each other in their own langugaes (It was Pentecost) do you think the city was quiet? Were the people talking quietly about this or maybe just one or two from each group?
It is my understanding that a lot of people were talking and each person understood others in their own tongue.
I do not know the answer yet for sure. I will have to do some research.
While those on whom the Spirit had descended were speaking in tongues, the disciple Peter stood up with the eleven and proclaimed to the crowd that this event was the fulfillment of the prophecy ("I will pour out my spirit") in Joel 2:28-29.
4.Do you find when you are in a group there are always who have a real desire to know what is taking place and serious about finding out. Then you have some who have the attitude of the mockers and don't take things seriously?
Yes, you are correct about the way different people act in a group setting. I find this to be true in my Sunday School Class. There are some folks who never say a word about the different subjects we discuss and then there are those like me that can not seem to be able to keep our ideas to ourselves.

King James Version
ACTS 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
ACTS 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
ACTS 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
ACTS 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
ACTS 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.Thought on This Chapter
ACTS 1:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
Began here for lesson two:
ACTS 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
ACTS 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Too often we forget that Jesus did not rise from the dead and then quickly go back to heaven. He shewed Himself alive for 40 days. And verse 3 tells us that during this 40 days Jesus was speaking to them about the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. Jesus was busy training these men. He had worked with them and trained them for about 3 1/2 years before the crucifixion. And now after the resurrection He spends another 40 days. You should be seeing the precident that Jesus set of how His workers need to be trained. There needs to be a period of time where a man gets prepared for the ministry. He needs to spend time learning and time walking with Jesus first. But good training is not enough to do the work of God. Even after all the training Jesus still tells them to wait. There is still something that they lack. Jesus tells them to wait until the Holy Ghost comes.

The Holy Spirit Promised
The next topic we are going to look at in our study in Acts is the promise of the Holy Spirit. This is very important part of our life as believers because without the Holy Spirit we would not have the guidance that is needed to live the Christian Life. For the apostles it was needed especially because they were going out and reaching those in their world. The Holy Spirit again is important to us as we go and reach those in our world.
