Strengthened argument that both Peter and Paul were in agreement, but both rejected.

| Feb 10, 2016 at 2:58 | comment | added | elika kohen | @C.Kelly Thanks for the helpful comments--I tried to clarify; (A.) Although the text clearly indicates Peter, Paul, and Stephen defended their faith -- in person -- their actual arguments are only summarily represented, (Acts 9:22). (B.) Instead, they either defended the Jews -- persuading them that the Promise of God applied to them--despite what they did--or, accused the Jews instead, (polemics, rather than apologetics); (C.) The text itself qualifies "preaching"--to the gentiles--in the same argument for turning away from the Jews, (Act 13:46). | |

Responded to objection regarding the refutation of Acts as a Defense for Christianity -- Clarified the argument.

| Feb 9, 2016 at 23:38 | comment | added | C. Kelly | I don't think you've established your 3rd point well. For one, the double negative is confusing: "then these cornerstone arguments would not have been unsupported" Since you're arguing Luke is NOT interested in defending Christianity as a whole, how do you account for the enormous sections of dialog of Peter, Stephen and Paul which are defending Christianity? Yes, there are incidents where the defense of the preaching to Gentiles is made [esp. chs. 10,11]. But how do these negate the defense of the Gospel that is being preached as the larger purpose? | |
