1 | What of Paul | 1 Cor 1:1 | Emmaus | 76735 | ||
Julie, Here is a little comparsison analysis of Lukes treatment of peter and paul in the Acts of the Apostles. These observation speak about some features of Acts that appear to be an defense of Paul's ministry against his detractors who were trying to undermine his unique status as a post Resurrection Apostle, who rather than helping to establish the Church had actually persecuted it. 2Cor 11:4-6; 12:11; Gal 6:12. Luke establishes Paul's credentials by comparing him to Peter in these ways: Both delivered inaugural sermons focusing on the Davidic Covenant. 2:22-36; 13:26-41 Both appealed to Psalm 16 in relation to the Resurrection. 2:25-28; 13:35 Both healed cripples. 3:1-10; 14:8-10 Both filled with the Holy Spirit. 4:8; 13:9 Both were renowned for extraordinary miracles. 5:15-16; 19:11-12 Both conferred the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands. 8:14-17; 19:6 Both confront and rebuke a magician. 8:18-24; 13:6-11 Both raise the dead. 9:36-41; 20:9-12 Both refuse divine worship. 10:25-26; 14:11-15 Both delivered from prison miraculously. 12:6-11; 16:25-34 Paul also called by Jesus. 9:1-19; 22:3-16; 26:2-18 So demonstrating by parallels that Peter and Paul had the same preaching, the same power and the same protection. Emmaus |

Thank you very much. I do and have seen the parallels. I've never questioned Paul in my whole life until the past couple months. Luke has always been my very favorite, but my dad kept pointing out Luke wrote Acts, and that never bothered me until I started worrying about Paul. I think I do remember reading in John something about whoever is for us is not against us? I'll email you for the Romans deal when I have more time. Thank you so much. |
