Hank........Acts 15 may have settled the quandary about "Jewish roots" if verse 21 ("For Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.") had been deleted.....but there it is. What meaning does this verse have for you in the context of the rest of the chapter? You are an excellent writer....I enjoy all your comments.....thanks.....Bub |

The verse is there to illustrate the reason why these ordinances were commanded of the Gentiles. With synagogues in the cities where Gentiles were becoming Christians, it was important for Jewish believers and Christian ones to have some unity. |

Of course they were, until they were driven out for their claims that Jesus was the Messiah and for their claim that the New Covenant is a better one, as Hebrews tells us. However, we have absolutely no indication of Gentile believers either attending the synagogues on a regular basis nor being commanded/encouraged to do so. | ||||||
