● You gave me Acts 13 v 27 ,42 understand that the religious Sabbath keeper's existed before and after Jesus ,,when you read on verse 42 and when the Jews ,,not Christians,, the gentile's besought,, the mention gentile's here not Christians or believers,, so in short the people here were not Christians but religious Sabbath keeper's..............
Still CORRECTING PERCEPTIONS

Golden Chinkwambala ..
Good Morning 🙏... Sir
Hope you are doing well ... ??
You see ... I have the whole world 🌎 time for you in or on such subjects...
In your search to answer me ... you continue to make more Errors... and you keep exposing your weakness in Scriptures...
You said ...
● Acts 13. 27, 42 and 44
Didn't mentioned "CHRISTIANS" , but mentioned Jews & Gentiles
But, Sir ... all you need is a pulse to Reason with Scriptures ... Sir
Who is a Christian ??
● In the SAME book , ... Acts 11. 26
That was SOME Chapters before the Chapter 13 ...
● the Apostles... had already been declared as "CHRISTIANS"
meaning the "Followers of Christ" ...
Read with me
● *Acts 11. 26*
King James Version
26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that A WHOLE YEAR THEY ASSEMBLED THEMSELVES WITH THE CHURCH, and taught much people. And THE DISCIPLES WERE CALLED CHRISTIANS FIRST in Antioch.
So, ... Golden Chinkwambala...
● Was Paul ntt in the accounts of the verse 11 ... were THEY the DISCIPLES were 1st CALLED Christians ??
And was ntt this SAME Paul present in 13. 27, 42 & 44 ???
So, was "CHRISTIANS" ntt there ??........................
You see ... let's learn small
Read with me
● *THE BEGINNINGS OF SYRIAN CHRISTIANITY*
*Christianity was to ENTER A NEW FIELD through the leadership of Paul, strong herald of the cross.* 👉🏽 IN ANTIOCH, THE CAPITAL OF THE ROMAN PROVINCE OF SYRIA, was to be found a new center for the gospel👈🏽. *When Jerusalem, the original headquarters, was destroyed, THE LEADERSHIP PASSED TO ANTIOCH, WHERE IT REMAINED FOR SOME TIME.*
mmmmmm
● When the gospel moved into Syria, the whole church was astir. *Cornelius,* a Roman centurion at Caesarea, had experienced a remarkable conversion. *Church members were fired with new zeal, and they entered Antioch* _“preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.”_ *SYRIA at that time included PALESTINE, PARTS OF ARABIA, and extended to the Euphrates River.*
Then began what may be justly described as _“the golden age of Syria.”_
- *O’Leary,* _The Syriac Church and Fathers_, p. 21.
● In Antioch, *its capital,* an opulent center, was located the administration building of the Roman officials of the East. Many Jews were there, and so numerous and influential were they that their rights and privileges were recorded on tables of brass.
- *Edersheim*, _The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah_, vol. 1, p. 74.
- *Schurer*, _A History of the Jewish People in the Time of Christ,_ 2d div., vol. 2, p. 271.

● As a result of the ministry of Barnabas and Paul at Antioch, the name of _“Christian”_ was there first given to the followers of Jesus.
● The providence of God was looking to the future of the gospel. *Soon Jerusalem would be destroyed, and tens of thousands of CHRISTIAN JEWS would be driven northward, rejected by the RABBINICAL JEWS*.
● It would now be greatly to their advantage 👉🏽 *as followers of Jesus to be called Christians.*👈🏽
They would no longer be classed with the Jews, and the new name would help them to escape the wrath of the Gentile world against the Hebrew race.
As will be shown later, these exiles were to populate with beautiful cities, and with institutions of unsurpassed scholarship, a section of country northward beyond the bounds of Canaan.
- (See the author’s discussion in *Chapter 4*, entitled, _“The Silent Cities of Syria.”_)
Again...
● It was from Antioch that Paul and Barnabas, set apart by the Holy Ghost, went forth as the first foreign missionaries.
The results were a revelation. Little did the apostles foresee the manner in which the Gentiles would desert the heathen temples for the churches, as 👉🏽 *they had seen the Jews come into the church from the synagogues.*👈🏽
Sir ... ask yourself
● How could *Jerusalem* as the then Headquarters *kept the Seventh day Sabbath as Saturday* ... then in the time of the Apostles at Antioch as the Headquarters *KEPT Sunday, the First day of the Week* ... ??
