I attended a Bible study the other night at a PCA church in my area and we discussed Acts. The topic was prayer and we went through all of the times Acts talks about prayer. It was an amazing to discover the trend that Luke records.
In many instances, the Apostles and the people would go to the temple and prayer. We pondered this in our small group and some likened it to the Protestant Reformation. The Apostles were trying to reform the Jews from within and not abolish it altogether. I could see the validity of this view
But I begain to question this because of my understanding of Paul, especially in Galatians. Not that this criticism is destructive to that thesis but it was just a question I didn't really get anything that clicked in my head. SOOOO
Why did the Jews gather at the Temple, especially when they had so many disagreements.
I just figured that the people on here are a lot more intelligent than I am sitting here trying to figure it out myself! Any input would be greatly appreciated!
