sure they did Paul even admits it right there to Cephas...
verse 14 "How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?"
but you'd rather speed past all this and insert your own understanding...
I even gave you a text other Romans were annoyed at Paul insisting on customs NOT LAWFUL for Romans to keep...Paul also addressed the Colossians to not to worry about their country men asking "why you not eating pork and doing Sabbaths like the Jews? we have our own calendar"
Galatians was written PRIOR the Acts 15 council so of course the issue came up...
that they were compelling gentiles to live like Jews...was the point...but you NOW attempt his point:
yes they were quite oblivious to the Jewish enmity which was destroyed by His flesh knowing the middle wall of division was destroyed. So they mixed it up with the gentiles fellowship and socialize as family does...
But you insist they were eating bat rat cat stew despite it NOT being cleared by our Master...
you ASSUME and INSERT this as if SWINE was made clean by Yahushua...it WAS NOT...IS WHY Peter did NOT eat unclean...as He did NOT make it ok to do so...
nor did Peter interpret his vision that pig or dog or rat stew was ok to eat with gentiles...
Jews in diaspora had a NEW issue to deal with...NOT at home or in a "Home court advantage" Jews were now visitors and had developed MANY NEW LAWS dealing with issues living amongst the dirty unclean goyim...remember the enmity Jews had for Greeks?
right...James' boys from Jerusalem were a threat as these MODERN CULTURAL LAWS had NOT been addressed yet at Acts 15 council...
oh? ALL this is NOT what they thought...that enmity of socializing with Gentiles was deep seeded and sophistically nuanced...man's traditions and social customs usually are...
sure the gentiles ate chicken and beef...but did they know not to eat food offered to idols? Or was all the blood removed?...or was it slaughtered correctly? All still to be resolved in Jerusalem's Act 15 council...
and then...when they insisted circumcision according to Moses TO BE SAVED...that WAS IT...
time to meet in Jerusalem...
circumcision according to Moses was at the eighth day of infancy...IMPOSSIBLE for grown men to carry that burden...which no Jew there had too carry...to decide to be cut...parents did that...
NEVER was it taught in the OT that circumcision was for SALVATION...the other issue...
Was it even Peter of the vision?
Relax...not Ellen or even SDA...but another of your traditionalists with new understanding...
Schismatic or Holy Spirit inspired?
