Now let me take this small point. It is something that is sad, hurtful, miss-leading, odd, uncaring,
inappropriate, incorrect, miss-interpretation, miss-appropriation of meaning, discouraging, condemning,
dishonouring of the Lord and His ways, not recognising the value of scripture no matter how small.
A quote is given so that something of value is brought out. If quoting scripture became a moral stand,
who could actually stop reading, in case someone else decided you should not stop there.
And on me quoting scripture, which point am I making? Do I actually say, or do I just quote it?
So as a reader you read in what you want. If you want you can read the context further.
I thought it was an interesting contrast about how the apostles were being treated and how their
motives where pure and wholesome.
So I am then found guilty of a crime, and then condemned for sin.
I do not really need to say much more, because the response really says it all.
One trait I notice about a group of people, they feel they can say anything and imply what
the like, even when it is meaningless because for some reason it makes sense to them.
And I suppose it does. God bless you, I am not quite sure what you woke up from and what
you are intending to become, but this is not a good start.

To me in a sense your last sentence negates your post.
All limey was doing was asking why stop at verse 3.
Limey I do have to say though "oops you comitted your first sin today" was a bit harsh.
Any response that is percieved as negative will never be a good starting point, it puts barriers up and then it builds on self preservation.
Given your quote about the apostles it seems to me that you are being treated as to how the apostles were treated, to you you're motives are pure and holy but you must recognise so are those who disagree with you.
