No thanks - I've had enough of the KJV only folk and the topic - I will no longer post in KJV threads or answer KJV only related posts or attackers of other versions of the bible.
Gamaliel was wise.. And i half believe that Gamaliel was being convicted by the preaching of the Apostles and did not want to be part of their execution..
Not sure what link you see between the Acts 5 verses and the Luke7 verses ?
How did you arrive at this conclusion? There must always be something in Scripture to draw a conclusion. While the Gospel was opposed primarily by unbelieving Jews, God used the Gospel and His servants to establish Christianity throughout Europe and other parts of the world. So what do you mean by "Christ's name is going no where"?

KJVBO, you must have other interests you can share than this. Why are you so consumed by the idea of one book being 100% flawless. Let me ask you a question, what is greater a flawless KJV or a flawless God?

This is the kind of warped interpretation that is trying to creep into the church on the back of the KJVO heresy. Once that KJVO lie has been established it can be used as a support structure for further corruption.

For once we are in agreement. There is no connection between the Scripture quoted and the remarks relating to it thus far. So let's look at that passage:
GAMALIEL ADDRESSES THE “COUNCIL” (SANHEDRIN) 34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
GAMALIEL CAUTIONS THE COUNCIL 35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
GAMALIEL MENTIONS OTHER GROUPS WHO CAME TO NOTHING 36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
GAMALIEL ADVISES THE SANHEDRIN TO “LET THEM ALONE” 38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
GAMALIEL SPEAKS A WORD OF WISDOM AND WARNING 39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
THE COUNCIL ACCEPTS GAMALIEL’S ADVICE TO A DEGREE 40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
THE APOSTLES DEPART AND REJOICE AT THEIR PERSECUTION 41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
CHRIST IS PREACHED DAILY AND THE NAME OF JESUS IS EXALTED 42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
