How did Paul refute the false teaching that Gentile Christians must become Jewish proselytes?

History
1 answer:
quester [9]4 years ago

Answer:

When the early church decided that gentiles did not need to become proselytes (Acts 15), saying some have said "Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:

28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

Paul said that Jesus abolished the laws that separated Jews and gentiles (Eph. 2:15), and both Jews and gentiles knew that Jews kept dietary rules that gentiles did not; meats were one of the primary customs that separated them. Therefore, when the early church allowed people to live like gentiles (1 Cor. 9:21; Gal. 2:14), they were saying, in effect, that they could eat the foods that gentiles normally ate. The Levitical instructions about clean and unclean were rules for ritual and ceremony, not for defining sin and morality.

Margarita [4]

<em>The Trail of Tears Diary </em>contains interviews which evidence the extraordinary resilience showed by the Native Americans after the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which was known as the Trail of Tears.

They both describe in detail the suffering lived by the natives, as they were forced to unexpectedly leave their homes in a painful and long trip, in which conditions were subhuman and many people were left to die as they could not make it to the end.

But the perspective of the two interviewees in very different. On the first hand, Mary tells the story lived by her grandparents, that she knows from the testimonies of her grandmother (as her grandfather did not survive), but Jobe Alexander lived the removal in his own flesh, so he witnessed the process.

While Mary focuses on describing the suffering of her family and the conditions in which the trip was made. Meanwhile, Jobe explains how some groups of Indian revolted against the federal soldiers and were able to scape and to make their living out of this removal. It is a very different viewpoint of the same fact.
