លោកពេត្រុស
ធ្វើសេចក្ដីរាយការណ៍ ជូនក្រុមអ្នកជឿ នៅក្រុងយេរូសាឡឹម
ក្រុមសាវ័ក
និងបងប្អូន នៅស្រុកយូដា ឮដំណឹងថា, សាសន៍ដទៃ បានទទួលព្រះបន្ទូល
របស់ព្រះជាម្ចាស់ដែរ។ កាលលោកពេត្រុស ឡើងទៅដល់ ក្រុងយេរូសាឡឹមវិញ, អ្នកជឿដែលជាសាសន៍យូដា នាំគ្នា រិះគន់លោក ថា៖ «លោក បានចូលក្នុងផ្ទះ សាសន៍ដទៃ, ហើយ ក៏បានបរិភោគ
ជាមួយពួកគេ ថែមទៀតផង។»
លោកពេត្រុស ក៏រៀបរាប់ប្រាប់គេ
យ៉ាងក្បោះក្បាយ ថា៖ «កាលខ្ញុំ នៅក្រុងយ៉ុបប៉េ ក្នុងពេលអធិស្ឋាន,
ខ្ញុំ លង់ស្មារតី និមិត្តឃើញ វត្ថុម្យ៉ាង ដូចកំរាលតុមួយ
យ៉ាងធំ ដែលមានចងចុងជាយទាំងបួនជ្រុង ចុះពីលើមកដល់ខ្ញុំ។ ពេលខ្ញុំ ពិនិត្យយ៉ាងដិតដល់ទៅ, ខ្ញុំ ឃើញមានសត្វ ចតុប្បាទ, សត្វព្រៃ, សត្វលូនវារ, និងបក្សាបក្សី។ ខ្ញុំ ក៏បានឮព្រះសូរសៀង បញ្ជាមកខ្ញុំ
ថា, “ពេត្រុសអើយ, ចូរសម្លាប់សត្វទាំងនេះ បរិភោគទៅ។”
«ប៉ុន្តែ
ខ្ញុំទូលទៅវិញ ថា, “ទេ, ព្រះអម្ចាស់, ទូលបង្គំ ពុំដែលទទួលទានអ្វី ដែលវិន័យ ហាមឃាត់ ឬមិនបរិសុទ្ធ ទាល់តែសោះ។”
«ព្រះសូរសៀងនោះ
ក៏បន្លឺ ចុះពីលើមេឃមក ជាលើកទីពីរ ថា, “អ្វីៗ ដែលព្រះជាម្ចាស់
បានប្រោស អោយបរិសុទ្ធហើយ, ចូរកុំចាត់ទុក ថា,
វិន័យ ហាមឃាត់ នោះឡើយ។” ហេតុការណ៍នេះ បានកើតមាន ដល់ទៅបីដង
ទើបវត្ថុនោះ ឡើងទៅលើមេឃវិញអស់។
«ពេលនោះ
ស្រាប់តែ មានបុរសបីនាក់ ដែលគេ ចាត់ពីក្រុងសេសារា អោយមក រកខ្ញុំ
បានមកដល់ផ្ទះ ដែលយើងស្នាក់នៅ។
ព្រះវិញ្ញាណ មានព្រះបន្ទូល ប្រាប់ខ្ញុំ អោយចេញដំណើរទៅ
ជាមួយគេ, កុំរារែកឡើយ។ ពេលនោះ មានបងប្អូនប្រាំមួយនាក់
បានជូនដំណើរខ្ញុំ ទៅដែរ, ហើយ យើងបានទៅដល់ផ្ទះ លោកកូនេលាស។ លោក បានរៀបរាប់ ប្រាប់យើង ថា, លោក បានឃើញទេវតា
មកជួបលោកនៅក្នុងផ្ទះ ទាំងពោល ថា, “សុំលោក ចាត់មនុស្ស
អោយទៅ ក្រុងយ៉ុបប៉េ, រកម្នាក់ ឈ្មោះស៊ីម៉ូន ហៅពេត្រុស,
គាត់ នឹងប្រកាសព្រះបន្ទូល ដែលផ្ដល់ការសង្គ្រោះ អោយលោក
និងក្រុមគ្រួសារ របស់លោក ទាំងមូល។”
«នៅពេលខ្ញុំ
ចាប់ផ្ដើមនិយាយ, ព្រះវិញ្ញាណដ៏វិសុទ្ធ ក៏យាងចុះមក សណ្ឋិតលើពួកគេ,
ដូចព្រះអង្គ បានយាងចុះមក សណ្ឋិតលើយើង កាលពីដើមដំបូង នោះដែរ។ ពេលនោះ ខ្ញុំ ក៏នឹកឃើញព្រះបន្ទូល
របស់ព្រះអម្ចាស់ ថា, “លោកយ៉ូហាន បានធ្វើពិធីជ្រមុជ អោយគេ
ក្នុងទឹក; រីឯ អ្នករាល់គ្នាវិញ, អ្នករាល់គ្នា នឹងទទួលពិធីជ្រមុជ ក្នុងព្រះវិញ្ញាណដ៏វិសុទ្ធ។” ប្រសិនបើ ព្រះជាម្ចាស់ ប្រទានព្រះអំណោយទាន
ដល់គេ ដូចព្រះអង្គ ប្រទានមកយើង ដែលជឿលើព្រះអម្ចាស់ យេស៊ូគ្រិស្ដ ដែរនោះ,
តើ រូបខ្ញុំនេះ មានអំណាចអ្វី នឹងឃាត់ឃាំង ព្រះជាម្ចាស់ បាន?»
កាលពួកអ្នកជឿបានឮ
សេចក្ដីទាំងនេះ, គេ ក៏ធូរចិត្ត, ហើយ នាំគ្នា
លើកតម្កើងសិរីរុងរឿង របស់ព្រះជាម្ចាស់, ទាំងពោល ថា៖
«សូម្បីតែសាសន៍ដទៃ ក៏ព្រះជាម្ចាស់ ប្រោសប្រទាន អោយគេ កែប្រែចិត្តគំនិត
ដើម្បីទទួលជីវិតដែរ។»

នៅក្រុង អន់ទីយ៉ូក
ក្រុមជំនុំ នៅក្រុងយេរូសាឡឹម
បានឮដំណឹងនេះ ក៏ចាត់លោកបារណាបាស អោយទៅ ក្រុងអន់ទីយ៉ូក។ ពេលគាត់ទៅដល់, ហើយ ឃើញព្រះគុណ របស់ព្រះជាម្ចាស់ដូច្នេះ, គាត់ ត្រេកអរសប្បាយ។ គាត់ ទូន្មានគេទាំងអស់គ្នា អោយប្ដេជ្ញាចិត្ត

បន្ទាប់មកទៀត,

«គ្រិស្ដបរិស័ទ»។
នៅគ្រានោះ
មានពួកព្យាការី ធ្វើដំណើរ ចុះពីក្រុងយេរូសាឡឹម មកដល់ក្រុងអន់ទីយ៉ូក។ ក្នុងចំណោមព្យាការី ទាំងនោះ, មានម្នាក់ ឈ្មោះ អកាប៊ូស។ ដោយព្រះវិញ្ញាណបានបំភ្លឺ,

ផ្ញើជំនួយ តាមសមត្ថភាព រៀងៗខ្លួន
ទៅជូនបងប្អូន នៅស្រុកយូដា។ គេ បានប្រមូលប្រាក់, ហើយ ផ្ញើតាមលោកបារណាបាស និងលោកសូល យកទៅជូន ពួកព្រឹទ្ធាចារ្យ។
Acts 11
Peter Explains His Actions
The apostles and the believers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized him 3 and said, “You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them.”
8 “I replied, ‘Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’
9 “The voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’ 10 This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.
11 “Right then three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying. 12 The Spirit told me to have no hesitation about going with them. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s house. 13 He told us how he had seen an angel appear in his house and say, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. 14 He will bring you a message through which you and all your household will be saved.’
15 “As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning. 16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with[a] water, but you will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit.’ 17 So if God gave them the same gift he gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?”
18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”
The Church in Antioch
19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that broke out when Stephen was killed traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, spreading the word only among Jews. 20 Some of them, however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus. 21 The Lord’s hand was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.
22 News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. 23 When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts. 24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.
25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, 26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
27 During this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 One of them, named Agabus, stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world. (This happened during the reign of Claudius.) 29 The disciples, as each one was able, decided to provide help for the brothers and sisters living in Judea. 30 This they did, sending their gift to the elders by Barnabas and Saul.

"I stopped being a believer when it became clear to me that the various versions of Christianity were mutually contradictory and that none had empirical evidence to support it. From the recognition that "knowing in my heart" was an unreliable guide to reality, I began to explore other types of explanation for life, the universe and everything, and discovered in science - biology, chemistry, physics, cosmology, geology, psychology - answers that genuinely explain, as opposed to those of religion, whose aim is to shroud their lack of substance in a cloak of mystery and metaphor.
All-importantly, these scientific answers, even when tentative, are supported by evidence. That they are also far more thrilling, far more awe-inspiring, than anything religion can offer, and that I find life fuller, richer and more satisfying when it's looked firmly in the eye and wholeheartedly embraced for the transient and finite wonder that it is, is a happy bonus."

Paula,
We love you.
You're great.
The Universe created men.
Men created God.
Some men uses God to take advantage of other men.
Amen
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
The most published books are, the Bible and Pilgrim Progress by John Bunyan. I never read Pilgrim Progress myself.
I would recomend people reading the book of Enoch if you would like to delve into the world of mysteries.
Enoch was a man who never saw death. He was translated into the realm of the spirit world by the Holy God, the Creator of this Universe.
If you read the book of Enoch I hope that it will scare the 'hell' out of you. Some thing will be easy to understand but something will be hard to comprehend if you don't know the bible. I don't comprehend it all myself, because it is a mystry of the unknown in earthly realm.
The book of Enoch will tell you how good angels became bad angels. How those angels helped corrupt mankind on this earth through their wisdom of science, cosmology,
chemistry, physics, technology and myriad of other bad things. It also named all those angels over 200 of them.
The book of Enoch will reveal how giants once roam this earth before the flood. There are plenty of evidence of giants in musuems today. Giants-Nephilims are same.
