Where do you get that from that verse? Besides, I thought you just said we shouldn’t just take one verse like that.
Then give all of Acts 15, including where he stated that the limited restrictions were only until they heard Moses preached in their synagogue “every sabbath day.” (Acts 15:21)Where do you get that from that verse? Besides, I thought you just said we shouldn’t just take one verse like that.
That's because the verse he cites doesn't say what he thinks it says. In the verses immediately prior:
(Acts 15:13-21)So, as you can see; the mention of Moses is that he's been (past-tense) preached in these other cities for generations; not that these light restrictions are supposed to be in effect until Moses has been preached. Indeed, the letter that the council sends reads as follows:
After they finished speaking, James replied, “My brothers, listen to me. Simeon has related how God first looked favorably on the Gentiles, to take from among them a people for his name. This agrees with the words of the prophets, as it is written,
‘After this I will return,
and I will rebuild the dwelling of David, which has fallen;
from its ruins I will rebuild it,
and I will set it up,
so that all other peoples may seek the Lord—
even all the Gentiles over whom my name has been called.
Thus says the Lord, who has been making these things known from long ago.’
Therefore I have reached the decision that we should not trouble those Gentiles who are turning to God, but we should write to them to abstain only from things polluted by idols and from fornication and from whatever has been strangled and from blood. For in every city, for generations past, Moses has had those who proclaim him, for he has been read aloud every sabbath in the synagogues.”
(Acts 15:23b-29)A single paragraph.The brothers, both the apostles and the elders, to the believers of Gentile origin in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greetings. Since we have heard that certain persons who have gone out from us, though with no instructions from us, have said things to disturb you and have unsettled your minds, we have decided unanimously to choose representatives and send them to you, along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, who have risked their lives for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth. For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to impose on you no further burden than these essentials: that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.
