Does Acts Teach Us to Follow the Law of Moses? Hebrew Roots part 3 00:20:06 – 00:22:07

Survey of Acts 6, Stephen controversy

Winger argues that Stephen is not an example of early church anti-Torah teaching. The accusers had to secretly induce men to lie, and are labeled false witnesses. He suggests Stephen may have repeated Jesus's words about temple destruction and/or rejected Pharisaical additions to the law.
