After setting out 4 simple things that would make for peace in the combined Jewish/Gentile believer community, and enable continued, unhindered evangelization of Jews, the Council gave this reason for the 4 requirements:

21 For from ancient generations Moses has had in every city those who proclaim him, for he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues.”

Runge, S. E. (2008–2014). The Lexham High Definition New Testament. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press.

Jews had heard these 4 things condemned for generations.

It is also worth noting that when the letter was delivered, the gentiles rejoiced that they were not required to be circumcized, nor be under the weight of the law.

Nor did the letter require attendance in synagogue, nor were they required to study nor even read the Torah.

You made those things up and they do not appear in the text.

You keep attributing to me things I didn't say, such as requiring them to go to the synagogue, and then knocking down these false claims. Those are straw man arguments.

You don't have an answer to my question and are unwilling to formulate one. I expected such. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

Baruch haba b'shem YHWH
