The question would be: Do you believe the events of Acts 15 happened like this comic (which is how we are told to understand Acts 15) or do you believe what the text says? Because if you read Acts 15 in context (context being the whole chapter at minimum, the rest of the book before it, the rest of the Bible before it), you can't come to the conclusion that the Gentiles aren't supposed to follow the Law. The commands given to them are from the Law. They are told to listen to Moses (the Law) every Sabbath). To read this and say gentiles aren't supposed to follow the Law doesn't make sense.

Then if you continue on to Acts 21 when Paul visits James, they are talking about how new believers coming to Yeshua are "zealous for the Law" and they are excited about it. Then they tell Paul people are saying he is telling people to forsake the Law, which they know ISN'T true and want Paul to show he does still live by the Law (because if you are living by the Law and teaching others not to do it, you're not actually living by the Law.)

There are no prophecies, no statements, no Scripture that states the Gentiles aren't supposed to keep the Law. Everyone always comes to Acts 15 to show "see, we aren't supposed to do it."

Acts 15 is the instructions to the newbie believer. Someone who has just come to the faith after being in a life of paganism. In church, what is usually the focus for new believers? Isn't it whatever sins they are struggling with? Focus on those things first, then the rest will come later?

It is no different in Acts 15. They aren't deciding what part or if gentiles should follow God's Laws, because all over the OT, if there is one statement that God makes perfectly clear over and over and over again: it is that if you love Him, you will keep His Laws. It has nothing to do with your nationality. It is about loving Him.

We can't do the feasts until we return to our inheritance 2 Chronicles 30 Ezra 6 Ps 51 Deut 12 & 16 Acts 18:21 Daniel 10:1-3 Zephaniah 3:18-19 We don't have calendar, we don't have temple, and God didn't put his name in our local places, that's why we don't celebrate the feasts

"Our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works."

Titus 2

For thou wilt not forsake my soul in sheol Hebrew original language Scripture from Psalm 16
"For thou wilt not forsake my soul in sheol, thou wilt not give thy merciful one for him to see decay."
כִּי לֹא־תַעֲזֹב נַפְשִׁי לִשְׁאוֹל לֹא־תִתֵּן חֲסִידְךָ לִרְאוֹת שָׁחַת

Thought for Today: Monday April 01

Prayer is not just to hear yourself talking, prayer is also to be quiet and waiting, giving YHVH a chance to speak to you. (Prayer: Father, I know and believe that You are able to do far more than I can pray for or even imagine, because You are Almighty. May this truth always be my guiding Light, amein)
