Bible Note: Hello MJH, Misleading? Certainly not. Acts 21 records how the elders asked him to do a favor in order to bring some measure of peace with Jewish authorities, no more. Acts 22 says nothing either way of his personal life whether according to Torah or not. The point of the request was to demonstrate that Paul was not preaching abandonment of the Mosaic Law. He was rather preaching its fulfillment. And if it was fulfilled, it is no longer a determinant for Christian conduct. Peter didn't do the same thing. He was causing Gentiles to live like Jews which they never were to do. Paul neither lied nor deceived. He was living what he had taught--to the Jews I became a Jew. Steve |
