Subject: If all sacrafices ended, then why Acts 2 |
Bible Note: Hey Doc, Acts 21:26 says, "Then Paul took the men, and the next day he purified himself along with them and went into the temple, giving notice when the days of purification would be fulfilled and the offering presented for each one of them." The preceding verses indicate that the vow was a Nazirite vow. See Numbers 6. It seems obvious that the Jerusalem leaders of the Jewish Christians wanted to prove to the rest of the believing Jewish population that Paul was loyal to the Torah (or law of Moses). This situation provided a good opportunity to show this by action and not just words. If Paul was anti-Mosaic-law, then he would not participate in a ceremonial sacrifice such as a Nazirite Vow requires. Since Paul did so, it raises questions concerning the post I replied to. MJH |
