Episode Details

Because the church had both Jews and Gentiles, there was a great dispute that arose.  Some Jews maintained that the Gentiles must be circumcised. As always happens with legalism, the rules keep growing and expanding. When the controversy involves what is required to be saved, it becomes a serious doctrinal question. So the church sends Paul and Barnabas to Jerusalem to decide the issue. 

• What is required for salvation?
• Why would Paul circumcise Timothy?
• Why is circumcision so important to the Jews? 
• On which issues should we compromise vs. not compromise?
