the Christian Church was born via the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the 120 in the uper room.

What the hell is the Uper room?

Is that a club for those upper peninsula Michigan folks?

Is it a special area in a Goth club?

Is it like Romper Room for folks who like to dress as babies?

Heh, heh, heh... none of those. It was a place where various Jewish Christians of many nationalities had met for the Hebrew holiday of Shavuoth (literally “weeks”). 50 days, 7 weeks and a day, after Passover. At that time the Holy Spirit alit on the Jewish Christians, and they spoke prophecies and praises to God in their own languages, yet could understand one another.
