‘Mid-Acts-ers’ say that Paul preached grace .... but that the other apostles (particularly James, Peter, and John) preached the law.
Could someone show me the verse that all the other preachers, besides Paul, preached the law?
If so, email magnifiedword@aol.com.
Was John the Baptist preaching .... the law? No!
Mark testified that John was preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ:
Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
John the Baptist was preaching .... the law? No!
The law was up until John, since then the kingdom of God was preached (like Paul did in Acts 20:25 and Acts 28:31; Rom 14:17; 1 Cor 4:20, 6:9-10, 15:50; Gal 5:21; Col 4:11; 2 Thess 1:5):
Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John:
since that time the kingdom of God is preached,
and every man presseth into it.
Peter and John were captured and detained for preaching .... the law? No!
They were scolded for preaching salvation only through Jesus Christ, Who was crucified and risen from the dead:
Acts 4:1-4 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.
4 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
Acts 4:10-13 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
Before Paul was ever saved, Philip was preaching .... the law? No!
He was preaching Jesus:
Acts 8:3-5 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
Furthermore, Philip preached Jesus (the Lamb of God, John 1:29) to the Ethiopian eunuch, as he read from Isa 53:7-8, about His being sacrificed as a sheep to the slaughter:
Acts 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
After Saul (Paul, Acts 13:9) was saved, Peter (Acts 10:34) was preaching .... the law? No!
He preached the gospel of peace by Jesus Christ:
Acts 10:36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
Paul recorded that the prophet Isaiah also wrote of men who preached .... the law? No!
They preached the gospel of peace:
Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Paul taught that the believer’s armour is .... the law? No!
It is the gospel of peace:
Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ teach that all these other preachers were preaching .... the law! But that was not what we read in the scriptures! They were preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ!
This is David Dowell saying, “Think about it!”
