Must Christians obey the laws of Moses? It must have been difficult for Jews in the early church to embrace all the Gentiles coming in, uncircumcised, untaught - probably smelling like bacon!

The Apostles were eyewitnesses to the resurrected Christ; but there was also an eyewitness to the ascended and ruling Christ! What Stephen said about the Jews' long, unbroken history of rejecting their deliverers and killing their prophets enraged the religious council.
