Acts 15:1 says: “And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.”

Are Paul and the Apostles in Acts 15 advocating for the ceasing of following Torah and the Prophets as written instruction and guidance from God or ceasing following the religious rules of the Jewish Pharisees and oral tradition?

  • How does this apply to followers of Jesus (Yeshua) today?
  • Are we to read and follow instructions from the front and back of the Good Book?
  • What did Jesus say?
  • What did Jesus do?
  • How about Paul and the Apostles?
  • What was really Gods purpose with Circumcision?
  • Could some of today’s Christian traditions and understandings be reviewed in a similar light?
