Honest question, in Acts 15, Paul and Barnabas go up to Jerusalem and were received by “the church”. Can you explain this? Acts 15:4 (NKJV) And when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders; and they reported all things that God had done with them.
@WassonWatch Jesus knows what is happening and is in control. Matthew 16:18 (KJV) And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Time to add to the collection. Micah 6:8 (KJV) He hath shewed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? @WassonWatch
There is a significant theological point to learn from this event. John outruns Peter to the tomb—yet he stops short at the entrance. Why? Touching a dead body would’ve made him ritually unclean, so he hesitates. Peter, bolder, charges right in, already expecting it to be empty. Every detail in Scripture matters; nothing’s just filler.
