Acts 15 (intro)
0 likes64 views
The document discusses the Jerusalem Council from Acts 15 and key issues it addressed: (1) whether Gentile Christians needed to convert to Judaism and be circumcised; (2) if Gentile Christians needed to follow the Mosaic Law; (3) if Gentile Christians could have their own churches separate from Jewish Christians. It also notes the teaching of Acts is often prescriptive rather than descriptive and clarifies terms like "Mosaic Law" and views on how Christ related to the Law.
