The Bible Divided

Patriarcal Age - Begins with Genesis 1 and goes to Exodus 20  (during this time God spoke directly to man (the father of the house)
Mosiac Age - (Jews) Begins with Exodus 20 and goes to Acts 2 (They lived by the 10 commandments and other jewish laws.  (God spoke through dreams and prophets)
Christian Age - Begins with Acts 2 and goes through Revelations (God speaks to us through the word)

                                       The New Testament Divided

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John -Teaches us the life of Christ.
Acts - Teaches us how to become a Christian.
Romans - Jude Teaches us how to live a Christian Life.
Revelations - Teaches us our reward if we obey the book of Acts and live faithfully.

If you would like help in studying, understanding or have any questions, feel free to contact me.

I'm sorry I'm writing sooner than said, I had to come to the library as I don't have access at home so I may not be on here as much.  This morning I told you that all of the conversions in Acts required baptism.  Here are some of the scriptures you can use to verify this truth:
Acts 2, Acts 8:26-40 Philip and the eunuch; Acts 9:1-19 Saul's conversion who became (Paul); Acts 16:11-15 Lydia's conversion; Acts 16:25-34 Jailor's conversion; Acts 17:22-34 Paul's preaching in the synagogue proclaiming salvation; Acts 18:7,8 Titus and Justus converted; Acts 19:1-7 baptism essential

You still have the right to your own opinions about salvation, but my conscious says to make you aware of these scriptures, and I am sure after you check it out for yourself, you will no doubtedly have any doubts.  I hope this is helpful to you in your studies.

I want to share a very cool scripture with you as I was reading it today:  Hebrews 13:1,2. . .Let brotherly love continue.  Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.

How cool is that!  Don't prejudge people standing by the road, just go ahead and assume they are angels!  If they are not, you will be rewarded for showing love!
