Acts of the Apostles 15 seems to be about circumcision and keeping the law of Moses in general (Acts of...

    Adam - Abraham - Moses - Jesus

    Adam sinned/transgressed heavens law long before the Mosaic/covenant at Sinai was cut. The Mosaic covenant was cut/established with one nation only, Israel. Their purpose was to be a set apart nation of priests/mediators between God & mankind (Ex 19:6). The Sinai covenant was a marriage...
