Add a note optional. Were the apostles angry that the Grecians brought this up and said their widows were being neglected while the Hebrew widows weren't? They got together and talked it over and solved the problem. They never said "How dare you question what we're doing!
Was Ananias afraid to question God and bring up what he'd heard about Saul, as if God didn't already know? Did God punish him or strike him down? Let's examine Acts 11 where other disciples questioned Peter, that he shouldn't have gone to Cornelius' house as he was a Gentile. Did Peter rebuke them and say that Jesus had given him the keys of the kingdom and who were they to ask about what he did?
Instead, he explained in detail what had happened, causing them to rejoice that God had granted salvation unto the Gentiles. In Acts 15 when certain people started teaching that circumcision must be taught, and there was quite a bit of argument here, it was brought to the elders and apostles who did not rebuke those bringing up the controversy. They gathered together and sought the truth of the matter. Let's also remember Acts The people who searched the Bible, to see if what Paul and Silas taught them was true, were praised.
Paul didn't get upset that they were checking out what he taught. It is a very dangerous practice to simply believe what you are taught without independently searching and studying to determine if it is truly found in scripture.
Galatians is one of the best examples I could give to debunk the false teaching concerning God's anointed. Keep in mind Jesus gave the keys to Peter. He was the main apostle at first after Jesus was resurrected. At some point in time, Peter had gotten caught up in the old Jewish law of not eating with Gentiles. Paul openly and bluntly- in front of others- confronted Peter about it.
The meaning in verse 11 for 'blamed' is more accurately translated 'find fault with. Peter did not scream out, "Touch not God's anointed," nor did he say that God would strike Paul dead for doing so. It was okay for Paul to confront Peter. He found fault with him. He confronted and corrected him. Paul did nothing wrong.
I Timothy 5: tells us that we can receive an accusation against an elder if there are at least two witnesses and if they have sinned, they are to be rebuked. It does not say we are to sit back and let God correct him if he's done wrong! It goes on to say we are to not be partial in how we treat one another.
Yes, leaders in the church should be respected and given honor if they are truly teaching the precepts of God and are faithful in their Christian walk. However, this does not translate to blind obedience. This does not mean we cannot question. This does not indicate that they cannot be corrected when they are wrong.
Turn to Psalm as this is one place where 'touch not' is written. Note the context of the psalm. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. But I tend to run into more than a few devout and devoted children of God who even though they embrace the Anointing, have challenges with Divine Authority and the submission thereof.
This is a problem saints, because if you can't submit to Divine Authority, then you can't receive the Kingdom of God. So we must distinguish between The Anointing v. We know this because the only way you can be saved is to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit at the point of salvation, which is the Anointing Romans 8.
So every believer in Christ has the Anointing because they have the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit of God. The Anointing is manifested in the giftings that God gives to His people in and through the Anointing of the Holy Spirit 1Corinthians This is what allows a believer to preach or teach or to prophesy; it is the Anointing of the Holy Spirit.
