Contradiction with Matthew 6:6
Contradicts the idea of gathering publicly for prayer as depicted in Acts 12:12, which describes the house being filled with many praying together.
Matthew 6:6: But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Contradiction with Romans 13:1
Suggests submission to authorities, which contrasts with the church's actions of praying for Peter's release from Herod's imprisonment in Acts 12:12.
Romans 13:1: Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. [ordained: or, ordered]
Contradiction with Matthew 5:44
Encourages praying for enemies, which contradicts the implied focus in Acts 12:12 where the gathering prays for Peter's release, not directly addressing Herod or adversaries.
Matthew 5:44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Contradiction with Romans 8:28
Implies a deterministic view where all events work for good, whereas in Acts 12:12, the community prays intensely, seemingly trying to change a specific outcome.
Romans 8:28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:34
Suggests that women should remain silent in churches, which contrasts with the involvement of Mary (and possibly other women) in the prayer gathering in Acts 12:12.
1 Corinthians 14:34: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
