Acts 21:24

Being born into and raised strictly Catholic I still tend to believe that they were Jewish/Catholic converts to Christianity. All of the rules and traditions of the Jews were passed down to the Catholic faith. The Gentiles were not held to these standards. Where does the truth lie…in the heart of the believer and the guidance of Holy Spirit.

God wants no one to perish and all to accept the free gift He gives in Christ Jesus.

Acts 21:24

 25 But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written and decided that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality.”

James affirms the decision of the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15:19). Paul’s actions are purely social, showing respect for Israelite customs. Faithlife Bible.

The Christian leaders were not asking Gentiles to live like Jews; neither did they want to compel Jews to live like Gentiles. The spiritual unity of the body of believers is realized in its diversity, not in its conformity. From our diverse backgrounds and cultures we honor the same Lord. NKJ Bible.

Acts 15:19 | Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God,

Acts 15:20 | but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood.

Acts 15:29 | 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.Farewell.
