The first scriptural passage in the Acts of Apostles I am going to talk about is Chapter 9, “Saul’s Conversion.” In chapter 9, Saul went to the high priest and asked him for the letters to the synagogues in Damascus and that if he finds any men or women that belong to the way he will bring them back to Jerusalem. During his journey to Damascus, a light from the Sky appeared around him and he heard a voice say, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” Saul later learned that this voice was Jesus, and as the light disappeared Saul tried to open up his eyes but couldn’t. Saul was original a person that hurt the holy ones but after the encounter with Jesus he got baptized and started to preach the name of the lord. When Saul got baptized it put

Sondra Simpson’s article “Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc.: Strategy with a Higher Mission or Farmed and Dangerous?” alludes to portraying a controversy involving the popular Mexican fast food chain Chipotle and the agricultural industry, but it reads more as a testament to the restaurant’s environmental and marketing achievements. The introductory paragraphs lead us right into a brief explanation of the issue at hand, as well as Chipotle’s intentions and opposition. Simpson hooks her readers with inciting blog titles illustrating the overall feelings of Chipotle’s offended adversaries, such as, “Boycott Chipotle: My Farm is Not Dangerous” and “Chipotle Unnecessarily Tears Down Agriculture to Build a Brand” (qtd by Simpson p 38). These blog posts describe the agricultural industry’s reaction to Chipotle’s latest attempt at spreading their corporate message through a series of webisodes titled “Farmed and Dangerous.”

In chapter 3 of Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis talks about what it means to own Christianity. He says "If we don't truly know what the gospel is, we have to find an explanation for Christianity." Meaning that if we do not know what the gospel is or what it is teaching us, then we try to define it by our own standards, and that is where it gets messy. Medearis talks about how Christianity is more than a religion, but it is a relationship and people tend to not understand that. He explains why people are so defensive and put up their guards towards Christians, because Christians can be so judgemental.

No one denies the fact that the Misfit is a murderer. Like Saul in the Bible, God changed his name to Paul. Saul, before he become Paul was torturing and killing all Christians. The Bible tells us that on his way to Damascus to prosecute Christians, Jesus met him and “he fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him Saul, Saul why do you persecute me?”(New International Version Acts 9:4-5). This marked the moment of grace for Saul to become “Apostle Paul”.

You shall put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it”. Here we see water is for the purpose of purification for those who are going to enter into the Temple. This is an indication of the Church and the ritual of Baptism. One becomes a member of the Church through the sacrament of baptism. Here one can enter into the tent of meeting only after washing themselves with the water that has been placed there in between the tent and the altar.

In Leviticus 16:4-5, when we read of Aaron preparing himself for The Day of Atonement, it is said that he is to bathe himself in water as just one of the steps of preparation. We also see in the Old Testament, under the mosaic covenant, the Israelites were required to purify themselves by washing so they could remain clean and fully devoted to Yahweh. Another place we see baptism prior to the New Testament is in the practice of Jewish proselyte baptism. Beasley-Murray makes this statement, “The baptismal theology of the New Testament is believed to have had its origin in the Jewish understanding of proselyte baptism” (G.R. Beasley-Murray, Baptism in the New Testament, pg. 26). However, proselyte baptism was for an entirely different purpose than the baptism for repentance by John the Baptist that is seen in Matthew 3:11, and the baptism in the name of Jesus Christ.

First, as the priest walked on to the altar there was a table with a cloth over it which the priest kisses. I was curious as to what the meaning of the table was and asked my friend Paul. His answer was that the meaning the table signified the body of Christ. On that same table the priest set a gold colored what seemed to me to be a wine glass and a circular disk on the table. The priest lifted the circular disk in to the air with both hands and said “this is my body which will be given up for you this is the challis of my blood”.
