When I read in Acts 7 I noticed in verse 38 that Stephen actually uses the word "church" in reference to the time of Moses. The main question is that most people I talk to say the Church began in the New Testament times, (usually at the time of Pentecost). Are not the Hebrews themselves the 'called out people' of the Old Testament?
Regarding James 4:5, I cannot find it located in any previous scriptures. I looked it up in a concordance, and it is not located in the Old Testament. Am I totally misunderstanding what this says?
What is faith?
Did John the Baptist baptize Gentiles or only Jews?
What does it mean when it says that God is a spirit and we must worship him in spirit?
I am a saved male and wanted to know if it was ok to wear shorts on extremely hot days. The shorts would pass the knees and only be worn at work. My pastor said we should cover our legs past our thighs and be modest in our dress but on hot and humid days it is almost unbearable.
Please give me a study report about the virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14) and its fulfillment in the New Testament.
How does the practice of "Urim and Thummin" in the Old Testament differ from forbidden practices of divination?
