Verse 18 tells us what Christ fullfilled. The things which were written of him that he should suffer. That is what the prophets wrote about him not that he would abolish the law of God. I always hear people say Christ fulfilled the law and now we don't have to keep the law. That is a lie! We must keep the law of God. We don't have to sacrifice anymore because Christ is our sacrifice for sin.
V.7 - this healing was a 'miracle'; a miracle healing is instant. Most healings are - just 'normal' ones, BUT - they are healings from Jesus. People may say, the meds healed me. But - meds have no power of their own; ALL power is of Jesus; His is the power in the meds. Jesus healed me of flu/pneumonia recently, but it wasn't a miracle; it took 3wks. with meds and the hosp. But- Jesus did the work.

Its ture and god blessed us with his son dying for are sin that will should give him respectfully kneel to jesus for him ill get all forth nothing else gets in the way of worshiping him.
Ivy, Acts 3:19, after repentance our sins are blotted out in the sight of God. Not to be remembered. Paul writes that he forgot those that were behind and was pressing on to the mark of the prize of the high calling of God.
Jacob, concerning Deuteronomy 18:18-19. Please read John 6:14,7:40, Acts 3:22-23, 7:37.
Try to believe that verse tells us that the Prophet the Lord God raised up is Jesus Christ. May the Lord lead you into His Truth.
The church was started at Pentecost but the physical Kingdom was still being offered. Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come FROM THE PRESENCE of the Lord. They were added and saved according to Acts 2:38 then but not after Paul's revelation of the mystery see Eph 3:1-9. Today its' faith alone ( Rom 3:24-25)!
Malachi 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. John 10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
Psalms 74:4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs. 8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. 9 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
Jeremiah 10:2 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered. 23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. 23:31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
I read this and started wondering.The part where it says that they laid the lame man at the temple door to beg for alms.Who is they?Was it the people that ran the temple, did they lay him there to exploit him for what was given to him,did they keep the alms for themselves or give it to the lame man. God healed him through Peter.I wonder if this upset the people who laid him there?
Heaven must receive Christ until the time for restitution of all things This means God will not reveal Jesus until He has created in Him all things,the full body of Christ.Hence the New Creation is meant here which will restore de old one. And it through the gospel dat God is creating New Man in Christ as the prophets prophesized- 1 Peter 1:12.Isaiah prophesizd about this in Symbols in Isaiah 65:17-25 of the New Creation restoring the old one.
Peter and John had so much faith. That they still continued to fight for his word. And to tell people about him. They were able to do miracles in the name of Jesus. For they believed. They new him whloe heartedly.
Acts 3 Salomey I read that the seed of God is in all of us and on 23 it says those not accepting the words from the prophet shall be destroyed. I missed the part where it says let us all share the word. Our lives should reflect and our testimony's shall plant seeds but not all are called upon to spread the word I don't think. Some have not been called upon as teachers.
Please give us the Scripture where we are commanded to ask God to fill us with the holy spirit the evidence of which is speaking in tongues. Tongues are for a sign 1 Cor 1:22. The Jews REQUIRE a sign 1 14:22. Every time tongues or languages were spoken Acts 2,10,19 Jews were present. They didn't believe the Gentiles could be saved. Acts 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. Peter was preaching the gospel of the Kingdom in Acts 2 to Jews see verse 2,14,22,36. They were waiting for Jesus to come back Acts 3:19-21! The kingdom was turned down with the stoning of Stephen. Notice Jesus was standing in verse 55. They rejected the Holy Ghost and Jesus saved Paul and told him to go to the Gentiles and revealed to him the mysteries that Peter wasn't aware of in Chapter 2. They get straight by chapter 15. Our church age doctrine is the Pauline epistles. We are saved by grace through faith without works Romans 4:5, Eph 2:8-9. Also if water baptism is a command, which it is, are unborn children obeying commands or is it a born again believer obeying a command to be water baptized?
In Acts 3 tells how God used Peter and John to manifest his power of healing. after Peter healed the Lame Beggar in Jesus Name, all people honored the Name of the Lord.
They were rebaptized because they hadn 't even heard of the Holy Ghost in verse 2. John 's baptism was the baptism of repentance verse 4, just like Peter 's baptism of repentance in Acts 2:38. When you see that they didn 't have the Pauline epistles and it was a Jewish faith being preached it will help you. The whole chapter 2 is to Jews verse 5,14,22,36. Simon Peter was offering them the Kingdom and if they as a nation would have repented Jesus Christ would have came back Acts 3:19-20. Stephen was preaching to the nation and Jesus Christ went from His seated position Mark 16:19 to standing in Acts 7:55 ready to come back. This did not take Him by surprise but it was a legitimate offer and the gospel of the kingdom of heaven was preached to the Jews first Rom 1:16 and then with the salvation of Paul the apostle to the Gentiles came the Gospel of the Grace of God. Romans 1:17 says it went from FAITH to FAITH. Galatians 3:23 But before faith came, THIS IS THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. The faith afterwards revealed was revealed to Paul read Ephesians 3. Acts 2:38 is a false gospel. Read Acts 15. Peter never preached it again and we are saved today by grace through faith without works Romans 4:5.
Peter was full of the Holy Spirit he spoke not in self but in power and might of God even so much as to Reflect on the thing he was saying himself all at the same time. Truthfully exposing truths that were reveled even to him his faith was as a rock and he was the truth not only speaking the truth, his demeanor his words his actions his life was and example of Christ who lived in him and drew him he was able to heal and save and be the great rock that he was
Many ought to be careful under what influences ye meditate upon the word, which will determine the nature of 'revelation s ' ye receive, for even the devil appears to men as an angel of light. If it were not so Christ would not have called Peter a rock, upon which He swore to build His church, Peter being an Apostle himself and also firmly operated in the capacity of a Prophet - Ephesians 2:20.
