Is Gamaliel's logic solid in Acts 5? Is a Christianity that does not fail in the face of persecution unexplainable apart from God? I think he is right that if it is from God, none can overthrow it. But is it clearly from God for this reason? Can the Roman Catholic Church (admittedly within Christianity) or Islam or Hinduism or any other ancient religion also claim being 'of God' by reason of its survival through hard times?
What makes true Christianity's survival in the face of persecution unique among religions? How does it magnify God in this?
Just some questions that arose in my mind after reading in Acts this afternoon. I will continue reading for answers.
