Discuss Acts 6 Page 2

Acts 6:39 and cross-reference to Luke 7:51. Please re-read the verse number, and re-read the chapter number again, especially where multiple chapters are on the same page. These two references do not exist in the Authorized 1611 edition of the King James Bible.

How come in Acts 6:39 it says other places to look and it lists Luke 7:51 and there is no verse 51

Amen your statement says a lot and reminds me of the Church of Laciaous the spelling is incorrect but it's one of the seven churches of Asia the lost their first love they became lukewarm and the Lord spit them out

These are repeating Esther but using greek translation of the hebrew names of trueJews. All scriptures testifying of geneology and of1 and 2 marriage covenants of True Judaism kjv Matthew 5:17-21, NLT Math 7:21-23 away from me who break Gods laws , Acts 15:19-21. Niv NT Acts 2:11, Acts 6:5, Acts13:43, not the Judaism taught today but commandments of God Abraham no longer kept

Verse 11~The religious leaders trumped up charges against Stephen and accused him of blasphemy. We see the same false accusations taking place today against innocent ones.

Verse 15~Stephen's face was like an angels face in that he reflected faith, serenity, calm, and complete confidence in Jehovah God.

He was talking about the sin full body that the adam had. But in place to what the devil told him

IAM OVERWHELMED BY THE DEVOTION OF THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST, THEY HAD RESPECT FOR THE WORK OF GOD AND SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES TO SERVE HIM WHICH IS NOT THERE NOW WITH THE SERVANTS OF THE LORD. LETS GO BACK TO THE WORD AND THE FIRST DEVOTION CHILDREN OF GOD.

verses 42-45, contrast these with Acts 6:2. The twelve really messed up here. They reverted back to their old way of thinking and not only missed out on a blessing, but set a standard and a precedent that has lived on to modern times. This precedent is WRONG! To be the greatest of all you MUST be the servant of all. These are the words of Jesus.

To Insight 777:
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. Mat 5:17. Read Acts 6:13. What you quoted (verse 14) are false accusations. Jesus was talking about the temple of His body that will be resurrected in three days. To the Hebrews this was the "pay-back time" after years of slavery. Sometimes God (not Moses) works in strange ways.

Correction: The Angel took incense and offered it with the prayers of all Saints upon the Altar. He then took the censer and filled it with fire of the Altar of incense, and threw it into the earth; this signifying that it was for the sake of the martyrs of Jesus and the prayers borne out of His suffering Church, that wrath and the Day of the LORD comes to make an end with the wicked of the earth.

Ray; I don't understand what you mean by, "This will delay the second coming of Jesus." In Revelation it is because of the souls of the witnesses under the Altar, who are crying to the LORD for vengeance, that the Day of the LORD comes upon the ungodly! Before the seven Angels sounded their trumpets, the one Angel took hot coals from off the Altar, and offered them with the prayers of all Saints.

Acts 6:9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen. Stephen had enemies which were large. Stephen was headed for persecution for the death of Jesus. This will delay the second coming of Jesus.

Amen.

The Grecians were not gentiles, they are Jews who were Greek. The Hebrew Jews were citizens of Jerusalem. Remember, in chapter 1, it said there were Jews from all nations under heaven who were dwelling in Jerusalem.

The Nicolas of Acts 6:5 is the pastor (angel) of the Nicolatians of Rev. 2:6. He evidently took his own name over the word 'Christians'.

Vs. 1-3; In those days, the Grecians were ALL Gentiles, non Jews. It was just the term the Jews used for the gentiles. The '12' were with Jesus, handled (touched) the word of life. They were the Pastors, evangelists. The disciples were the elders and saints; the elders appointed the saints for the work of supplying the needs of the needy saints. The elders had their work cut out for them. cont.

I hope everyone here knows the 10 commandments in which we are to obey! Jesus said in John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments." We are to obey 1, 2, 3, 4 (keeping the Sabbath; one most often forgotten), 5 (also forgotten- to obey your parents), 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10!! Read them in Exodus chapter 20! "God loves you so much that he gave his only begotten son, so that whosoever believes in him

I heard once that the 4 Gospels are like a car on display and the acts of the Apostles is driving that car and the epistles is like disassembling that car to know how it works . acts 6 show a young church growing and learning how to operate as a living breathing organism one that get it directions from it's head (Jesus) which direction travel through it's spinal cord (the Bible) to every body part

When u are spirit filled u don't have any problems in living through the word of God.Jesus Christ is saying today,carry your own cross

God bless and I know he is leaving in the but in the future positive thinking

Let me say this when u lie to the Holy Ghost something will happen to U . Remember the Holy Ghost live in a true believer which mean the person is truely Jesus Child .there are some that claim to be saved but r not the bible said your life will speak for U .yes we need to obey Jesus when he speaks to us and not listen to man over Jesus .obey the Laws of the Lands Jesus told us to do

The issue that arose btwn Stephen n the members of the synagogue was the same issue that we witness today-I only want a form of holiness. Christians today r very worldly n their hearts. They have no desire to b like Christ only to hold to standards of people who also just claim to love the Lord. I by no means mean to say that any of us, especially me, r perfect, but a Christian is supposed to b battling their carnality not reveling n it or changing n ignoring scripture to stay blind n sinful. Our world is full of just as many sadducees n pharisees as it was then n they stone us to death daily n their hearts. Pray for my manifestation of deliverance from all ungodliness n worldly lusts. This world needs a great awakening n refreshing of the Spirit.

Verse14,they were not willing to change their tradition for the new doctrin of Jesus Christ.

To me it sounds as thought the dispute was about Jesus Christ and his doctrine. Verse 10 seems to say it all - they could not resist the wisdom spirit.

What was the dispute between stephen and the members of the freedmen synagogue?

Prayer is the earthly license to let heaven interfere to earth...God Bless...

Prayer tenderizes the heart of the one praying, leads to confession of sin, drives us to desire to submit to God Rom.12:1, 2 , unites the brethren to be of one mind, empowers the believer, and prepares the hearts of those who will hear. Finally, it brings the Word to life imparting faith to the lost, and holiness to the saved.Prayer drives us to the Word, and the Word drives us to pray.He who prays well studies well lives well and dies well.

Prayer is the duty of the Christian. The word of God is the guide to God 's will for the practising Christian.

Verse 2, the tables may not be distribution of food but instead represent distribution of money to supply the needs of the public. Spiritual needs and physical financial needs are not the same. The church is not a bank, nor should the church define financial laws. The 7 men may symbolically represent financial intermediaries that are honest, highly regulated, so that distribution of assets are equal for people of all stations in life. Truth and honesty must be a requirement for banking transactions. The poor should not be shut out as lending activities are usually dependent on the strengths and needs of the financial customers. The poor, as the sample of widows having difficulty supporting themselves, should be given the same consideration as the rich. The banking laws should be the same for all. The rich should not be given lower rates than the poor. Or perhaps these 7 may represent not for profit institutions where the needs of the poor are supplied separate from the church.
