Yes I would imagine you would not see or believe biblical statutes and precepts knowing you lack the Holy Spirits discernment and can't seem to admit your claim as I pointed out is in error just like your predecessors the Jews. Now whether they/you believe it or not the triune God is mentioned throughout the OT starting in Genesis n the garden.
Because the Jews thought that Christ would come back as a warrior to restore their Kingdom that Christ never wanted established in the first place they missed their Messiah when He did show Himself to them. So we know that they didn't except Christ as their Messiah because they believed in something that wasn't true or supported by the bible.
The writer of Acts is using v. 1-4 as a setup to the next event within his written testimony. The disciples were not engaging in a conversation about v.1-4 just moments prior to the question they asked Jesus in v. 6. The, "being assembled together with them" in v. 4 wouldn't need them to come together again, as v. 6 indicates, "when they were come together". That is the context.
That's right but we now have the entirety of scripture and they're not as vague or out of context as they might have been when Jesus spoke them. We have had our present Canon of scripture for centuries now and we are much more aware of how it all relates and works together than any of the Believers were in the 1st Century of the New Covenant.
