You are incorrect. They were killed for obeying Jesus.
You are saying anything so that you do not have to admit you are wrong.
You claim the Apostles were killed because they obeyed the old law.
That is nonsense.
You are incorrect. They were killed for obeying Jesus.
Do you call a teacher your teacher?
Do you give double honor to your elders, those who labor in the word?
Over ten years ago I made a statement about why they were killed, very similar to what I just shared with you. They went to their deaths preaching and proclaiming the word of God, the gospel (of salvation in Jesus Christ).
Jesus was killed in violation of God's Law, which you have here called the old law. I believe it was the same with the Apostles. God's Law says to love God and your neighbor.You said they followed the old law. If they followed the old law, they would not have been killed.
You are mistaken about Biblical truth.I do not have a teacher in Christ.
I am not taught by 'elders' in a denomination.
Jesus does not say do not call anyone elder.

Jesus observed and taught the Law.
The Apostles did not speak against the Law.
What makes you believe I referred, in your terms, to "the old law"? Where and what, or in what manner, is that to which you would now need to refer?
Ephesians 4:11-13 NASB - 11 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.
Moses came with the law, not Jesus.
John 1:17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
There might be a teacher, but not The Teacher.
There is no man to be coined The Teacher.
Jesus is the Teacher.
The law was given by God to the nation of Israel, including through the prophet Moses.
It is true that there is no "The Teacher". Jesus is the Teacher. And we have the Holy Spirit. There are teachers in the church. This does not mean there is one teacher in the church, except it be Jesus. See, others are teachers as well, but they can only be said to be teaching truth when what they say is from Jesus by the Holy Spirit and in accordance with the word of God (previous revelation, the revelation of scripture both Old and New Testaments).
You remind me of another member named Untellectual. I wonder where he has been.
Jesus did not want one superior over the others.
I went by Untellectual on TOL until just recently. My name is Jacob. Untellectual was not another name for me. It was just the name I went by or chose on TOL.
