Those 'spiritual keys' I find stood for authority or responsibility.
The keys entrusted to Peter he used those keys to open up The Way:
First, for the Jews to accept Christianity ( ActsoftheApostles2:22-41 )
Second, for the Samaritans ( ActsoftheApostles 8:14-17 )
Third, for the people...
Or, instead of Christianity, it shaped ' Christendom ' ( so-called Christian - Matthew 7:21-23 )
In Jesus' day the religious Jews took away scriptural knowledge - Luke 11:52
In Scripture, 'keys' literal or figurative, shows a trusted degree of authority (1 Chronicles 9:26-27; Isaiah 22:20-22)...
Yes, it was the Romans who executed Jesus for sedition, treason and injured majesty.
The corrupted clergy did Not have the power to execute Jesus, so they had to use trumped-up charges in order for the Romans to do their dirty work for them.
Scripture places the blame on those unfaithful Jews ->...
Besides trumped-up charges of treason, also sedition and injured majesty.
Jesus was King of God's Kingdom (Daniel 2:44) so No threat to the earthly kingdom governments of his day.
Not Pilate (political) but the corrupted religious leaders lead the people to turn on Jesus.
This is why the people...
Yes, 3 hours had to be a supernatural darkness because I was taught the longest eclipse lasts 8 to 12 minutes long.
Such darkness could Not be caused by a solar eclipse because such an event happens at the time ofthe New moon.
This was in the Passover season when the Moon is always full...
I find the ^ above ^ ties in nicely with Deuteronomy 21:1-9 because those unfaithful Jews were culpable in failing in community responsibility to bring Jesus to Justice - ActsoftheApostles2:22-23; ActsoftheApostles 3:15
I agree with the ^ above^ because in the previous chapter (John 7:11-32) opinions varied about Jesus - John 7:12.
The people had concerns out of widespread fear ofthe reaction ofthe Jewish religious leaders.
Those leaders in the previous year they wanted to kill Jesus for healing on the...
If that 'speck ' was about culpability, then what Luke wrote included 'community responsibility' as mentioned at ActsoftheApostles2:22 ' ye men of Israel '. Collectively they failed to bring Jesus to justice as per Deuteronomy 21:1-9.
Thus, I find the ' speck ' of Luke 6:41-42 is expressing...
I find at ActsoftheApostles 2:37-41 is the Jewish crowds response to Peter's words or speech of verses 14-36.
Those Jewish ' brothers ' failed to bring Jesus to justice as per Deuteronomy 21:1-9.
So, in the case of Jesus that made them guilty of Regicide.
So, they were guilty or culpable in...
It's clear you are blaming the Jews for the Trinity which didn't exist in the time Acts was written or earlier.
Which means that's not possible. And the Jews had nothing to do with the Trinity later either it was Pauline Romans.
They abused Mosaic Law, that was a long time before the Trinity or the deification of Jesus (pbwh) and the unfaithful Jews ofActs had nothing to do with it.
Was it something else you were blaming them for? I thought the corrupt doctrines of today is what you meant and that is because of...
I want to apologize for Not making myself more clear. I was Not blaming the Jews, but rather the 'UN-faithful Jews'.
Those 'UN-faithful Jews' are the ones ofActsoftheApostles2:22-23 <- they were Not Romans of any sort.
Those 'UN-faithful' Jews ( knowingly or un-knowingly ) shared in Jesus'...
Wow! Your subject title is a good one!
Do you know, the Bible says Jesus was "in hell"? Yep, it does! (He was the best person who ever lived!) You can read about it in ActsoftheApostles2:22-27, where (in vss.25-27) Peter was applying King David's prophetic words to Jesus.
So don't worry...
Understand: ' culpability '. ActsoftheApostles2:22the ' Men of Israel ' had the community responsibility to bring Jesus to justice and they failed to bring Jesus to justice thus sharing in community blood guilt - Deuteronomy 21:7-9; ActsoftheApostles 3:13-15 A
Peter, as spokesman...
