Hechos 24:14

Paul rebutted the second charge of leading a cult (Acts 24:5) by explaining that his beliefs harmonized with the teachings of the Hebrew Scriptures. This would have helped Felix see that the real conflict between Paul and his accusers was religious and not political, as Tertullus had made it appear.

Paul was not claiming that the church is the continuation of Israel (cf. Ephesians 2:11-22). His point was that his beliefs did not contradict anything predicted in the Old Testament.
