Acts 11: It’s Not About Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
If you want to eat bacon wrapped shrimp at your next anniversary dinner, be my guest. But please don't use Acts 10 & 11 to explain why the Bible says it's okay. Doing that takes one of the most important moments in history and trivializes it. I'll prove it to you in less than 10 minutes.

The Day of Pentecost: Peter’s Secret to Being Jesus’ Disciple
Jesus gives second chances. One look at Peter’s life makes that clear. After denying his Rabbi three times, Peter believed his time of following Jesus as a disciple was over. But after Jesus’ resurrection, He restores Peter and gives him a second chance. And Peter took full advantage of that chance. The Day of Pentecost is the beginning of this. I'll prove it to you in less than 10 minutes.

And it's all because most Christians have spent 2,000 years with their biblical paradigm upside-down. This is a big no-no, and I’ll prove it to you in less than 10 minutes.
