No, no, he didn’t.

And, your underlined statement is NOT FROM JESUS; it’s from Paul and Barnabus .. and they assumed it was okay with the Holy Spirit to request such things from the congregation. But, nowhere does it say the Holy Spirit confirmed to Paul that his decision was correct.

IT WAS NOT DOCTRINE .. it was just permission for one act.

I totally do not agree with you at all. And .. if you’re Catholic .. you might as well give up. I had a lot of Catholic friends growing up .. went to church with them .. I never could understand what all the pomp and circumstance was about. So, you can stop with the volumes and volumes of stuff you seem to think is relevant .. but the key to being a Christian is KNOWING THE LIFE OF JESUS .. not what Paul did years later.

It wasn't [just] Paul; it was James, Peter, and both the apostles and the elders.

One of the signs that the Gentiles were indeed accepted by Christ was that they too received the same [Holy] Spirit that they did.

I'm not Catholic.
But the point remains that the Holy Spirit did confirm this; it's the response to those who would place the Christian under the Mosaic Law. (You can find these types in the Jewish Roots and It has to be YESHUAH-types.)
