Question

Furthermore, the book of Acts shows various instances of how the early Church engaged with its Jewish context. For example, Paul engaged in reasoned discussions with Jews, using passages from the Jewish Scriptures to explain Jesus' role as the Messiah (Acts 17:2-3, 18:4). Stephen, one of the first deacons, delivered a powerful defense rooted in Jewish history and scripture before facing martyrdom (Acts 7). His speech showcased the deep understanding and connection the early Church had with Jewish traditions and teachings. Stacy added that such practices like attending temple or synagogue gatherings, circumcision, eating, Jewish ritual bath, the use of Torah, observance of Jewish feasts and festivals and prayer to Israel's God "are neither pagan nor heretics, they are faithful jews." (Satcy video).
