Comment on SCRIPTURE STUDY: A new start by Dan Adamini

My initial opinion is that they spoke boldly in their native tongue, but the people (also filled with the spirit) heard in their own native languages. this makes it easier to apply the fact that 12 men spoke in so many languages that all were understood… and also makes it easier to explain that some (not open to receiving the holy spirit) thought the apostles were speaking gibberrish.

However, when we try to apply logic to miracles, there is always a disconnect – miracles inherently needn’t follow the rules as we understand them.

Some get too hung up on the mechanics of how and why, which is what prompted my question – The question came up in bible study, and some are still hung up on the mechanics.

The real answer is probably: It doesn’t matter. The Spirit gave these faithful but weak men the strength to boldly proclaim the word of God to ALL people, and the Spirit gave the people of every land the ability to receive the gift of God’s salvation, and understand.

Some say the miracle is in the speaking, not the hearing.. and others the opposite. why can’t it be both? And why does it matter if the message is received?

So, was the miracle that the apostles spoke in the many languages so all could understand? OR… that the people heard them in their own language so THEY could understand?

Hi there, How do I donate a bike to the Kickstand? None of the phone numbers on the website work! It’s a great bike, just a little rusty. If somebody with a pickup truck is able to come get it, that would be the best.

Comment on OPINION: Our favorite Catholic Worker newspaper by czechmates

How can I get a copy of the Catholic Worker sent to my home? I used to get a copy of the “worker” on a regular basis at the Holy Spirit Church (Newman Center for UC-Berkeley students). We have long since moved away from that parish and now live in Merced, in the central San Joaquin
Valley.

Thank You
