Bible Note: John If Paul did not follow the instructions in the Books of Moses, specially the ceremonial laws, would you please explain Acts 18:18, 15:20-21 (why verse 21 if Moses' law holds no water, what could they possibly learn?), and 21:20-24 (why in verse 20 is James so pleased that all the believing Jews are so zealous for the law? And was Paul just a shiester, playing make-believe, only to win converts? [Personally, I don't think he was.]). And finally, if Paul no longer observed the special days then why would he be so concerned that the fast of Yom Kippur had past? (The scripture doesn't say specifically that this was THE fast, but most ships in those days would not sail much beyond mid-Sept. to mid- Oct. because it was quite risky, and very dangerous due to the likelyhood of storms. Yom Kippur can fall anywhere between Sept 14 to Oct. 14.) I've asked this of many people, from scholars to laymen. I'll be interested in what you've learned about those vows that Paul took part in. :o) |
