Acts 15 & 21 seems to say that Gentile believers are only required to observe several laws, namely, staying away from meat sacrificed to idols, fornication, and things strangled.
Its kinda confusing. 1 John 2:3 & 5:3 states that the love of God is keeping his commandments. A question would be,"Who is that scripture geared to... Jews, or Gentiles, or both?
Jesus also said he came not to destroy the law. And he gave the 2 greatest commandments which sums up the whole law. What did the Jerusalem counsel really mean?
I'd like to know what is Acts 15 & 21 really saying concerning Gentiles, and the position of the law in their lives. Should they keep all the law as the Jews must?
