“Acts 15 was instructions for Israelites living in Asia Minor, who mostly were already keeping Torah, but were being prodded by Pharisees to be circumcised.”
Sorry Charlie. The Council were addressing GENTILES who had become Christians.
“They definitely did instruct them to listen to Moses preached in their synagogue every sabbath day. How can you remove that direct statement from the chapter?”
Wrong. You read your bias into this. They were concerned that not having the GENTILES follow some basic principles would offend JEWS who have Moses preached all the time. If you read the Greek, they put forth those simple principles so as not to “annoy” the GENTILES with many rules.
“You are the cultist!”
You are a Rood cultist. That much is clear. How many Roodians are there all told?
Sorry you are!
Those Israelites are gentiles!
They were out of covenant, thus they were gentiles.
