1 | Who's at the circumcision debate in Acts | Acts 15:2 | pcdarcan1 | 137252 | ||
The Bible provides only limited detail about the composition of an early governing body, most of the information being in Acts chapter 15. That account indicates that in 49 C.E. that a group of Christian men forming the governing body consisted of “the apostles and older men in Jerusalem.” Who were these?—Acts 15:2, 4, 6. James, the half brother of Jesus, presided at that meeting to discuss the question of whether Gentile converts to Christianity had to keep the Mosaic Law, including circumcision. The apostle Peter shared in that discussion. The account speaks of Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas as “leading men among the brothers,” but it does not specifically say that they were part of that governing body in Acts 15. (Acts 15:7, 13, 22) The “sect of the Pharisees” are believers who were once associated with the Pharisees, the very ones who took a side against Jesus. The ones of that sect who became believers also brought their old ways (you may say) into the congregation and tried to insist that circumcision was necessary for believing Gentiles in order to get saved. Of course, the book of Acts tells the outcome. Hope that helps. |

By the way Hank, what was wrong with this post?, because its another example of mine for the Lockman Foundation and I need to know what in particular was in violation or is this you again showing favoritism and partiality towards your personal believes? How many times do I need to prove to you that this is a site for interdominational beliefs? You are violating this Hank and you need to stop it. | ||||||
