1 | Abstaining from things strangled, blood? | Acts 15:20 | Wild Olive Shoot | 192129 | ||
So maybe it was given in the spirit of what Paul later wrote? The following as examples: 1Corinthians 10:25-33: v32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: Romans chapter 14 v14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. v21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. It comes down to promoting peace and harmony and not offending fellow believers? Am I thinking this through correctly? Stand in His grace, WOS |

Hi WOS, I think you have the essence of what is being said. James gives as his reason for instructing this that its because Moses is read every sabbath, in every city. This law was so deeply ingrained in the Jews, and as Doc wrote, how could it not be an offense? That's how they grew up, in all their generations. I think you are right on target. Love in Christ, Mark |
