Answer Details
The sound which came from heaven on the day of Pentecost is likened to that of a "mighty wind". This is recorded in Acts 2:2, where it says "Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting." The sound was significant because it marked the arrival of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples of Jesus, empowering them to speak in different languages and proclaim the gospel to the crowd gathered in Jerusalem. The comparison to a mighty wind suggests the power and force of the Holy Spirit's arrival, as well as its unpredictability and uncontrollable nature, much like a strong wind.

The Council in Jerusalem was called to address this controversy and to come to a decision on whether Gentile Christians needed to be circumcised and follow the Law of Moses.

Answer Details
The division of David's kingdom was a direct consequence of Rehoboam's unwise decision. After Solomon's death, his son Rehoboam became king, but when the people of Israel asked him to ease the heavy burden of taxes and forced labor that his father had imposed on them, he refused. This caused the ten northern tribes of Israel to revolt under the leadership of Jeroboam, and they set up their own kingdom with its capital in Shechem. This event marked the beginning of the divided monarchy, with the southern kingdom of Judah (consisting of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin) under the rule of Rehoboam and the northern kingdom of Israel under the rule of Jeroboam.

The attribute of God which Isaiah emphasized most is His holiness. In the book of Isaiah, the prophet repeatedly uses the term "holy" to describe God.

God promised that He would be their God, and they would be His people, and they would no longer need to teach one another to know Him, for they would all know Him, from the least to the greatest. Through this new covenant, God would give them a new spirit, one that would help them to keep His commands and follow His ways.

Answer Details
According to Paul in the Bible, speaking in tongues is meaningful where there is one with the gift of interpretation. In 1 Corinthians 14, Paul discusses the use of spiritual gifts in worship, including the gift of speaking in tongues. He explains that while speaking in tongues can be a powerful tool for personal prayer and communication with God, it is not useful for public worship unless there is someone present who can interpret what is being said. Without interpretation, Paul says that speaking in tongues is unintelligible and therefore unedifying for the congregation. So, in summary, according to Paul, speaking in tongues is meaningful where there is someone present with the gift of interpretation.

While preaching the resurrection, being humble, and praying daily are important aspects of the Christian faith, Peter specifically highlights doing good as a means of demonstrating the power of God's grace and love to the world.

The statement is a commandment given to Noah and his descendants to establish the sanctity of human life and to discourage the practice of murder. The punishment for those who take another human life is also stated in the statement, which is that their own life shall be taken.

'''....even though you make many prayers, I will not listen;....''
Why will God the Holy One of Israel not listen?
Answer Details
God the Holy One of Israel will not listen to their prayers because their hands are full of blood. This means that they have committed sins and have blood on their hands, yet they come to God with prayers and offerings, trying to appear righteous. Their actions and their hearts are not aligned with God's will, so their prayers and offerings are worthless. Therefore, God will not listen to them until they repent and turn away from their wicked ways.
