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?
What is the meaning of "whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."?
What is the significance in believing in the Son? Is it not sufficient to believe in a loving and merciful Creator only?
Did John the Baptist baptize Gentiles or only Jews?
What is the "outer darkness"?
Would you please explain the significance of Christ's words to his mother in John 2:1-5.
