There is some shifting going on in today's Messianic world as it
concerns the unity that Jewish and non-Jewish Believers are to
experience in Messiah Yeshua, and whether or not non-Jewish
Believers are really called to obey God's Torah. Much of this
controversy is not based in an objective, historically conscious
reading of the Scriptures-but instead in shifting ministerial
alliances and religious politicking. The answer is not going to be
found in evaluating who-said-what, but will be found in going to
the Biblical text and in accurately evaluating what the trajectory
of God's Word is. Around two decades after the ascension of Yeshua
into Heaven, the message of salvation began being spread to the
Mediterranean world outside the Land of Israel, and many from the
nations eagerly embraced it. Was this just a bi-product of the
message going to the Jewish people in the Diaspora, or was it the
Father's Divine plan? What was to take place with the new,
non-Jewish Believers? Did they have to be circumcised and become
Jewish proselytes? Or were all of the Believers, regardless of
their ethnicity, to come together in a new environment rooted in
the completed work of God's Son? The Jerusalem Council of Acts 15
assembled to consider these issues, and it fairly ruled on what was
to be done. Too many of today's Messianics refer to Acts 15 without
a great deal of consideration for the context of the events as they
took place in the First Century C.E. We often assume things that we
should not assume, and we overlook things that we should not be
overlooking. This study critically examines Acts 15 in detail, is
engaged with current Acts scholarship, and tries to properly
compare and contrast the ancient setting of the Jerusalem Council
with some of what we see going on in the emerging Messianic
movement today. What can we learn from all of this? What important
lessons have we avoided for far too long?
