So you reject the Jerusalem Council's conclusion? A conclusion which pleased the Holy Spirit? You know more than the Holy Spirit? Who knew?

"Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, “You must be circumcised and keep the law”—to whom we gave no such commandment—it seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. . . . . For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well." Acts 15:23-29

Foolish strawman!

The Jerusalem's chief conclusion, and the heart of Acts 15,

verse 21:

"For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day."

They went easy on the new converts because they expected them to be in the synagogue every Sabbath day, hearing Moses books preached, thus learning how to follow the Way of Yeshua.
