Description: The early church had a dilemma with new converts.Jewish Christians wanted Gentile (non-Jewish) Christians to be circumcised and carry out the elaborate requirements of the Jewish law – in other words they had to become Jews first of all.A Church council said they only had to avoid blood (cf. violence), fornication (cf. unrestrained sex) and strangling (cf. injustice).This set out a precedence for the on-going Christian challenge to “raise the bar” of Commandment observance.
