ELD. CANRIGHT ON ACTS 15

CANRIGHT VS. THE SABBATH

“Now study the great council at Jerusalem, held over twenty years after the resurrection. Acts 15. Not only did the whole church in Judea keep the entire Mosaic law in all its rites, including circumcision, but they endeavored also to force it upon the Gentile converts. Verses 1, 19. But through the influence of Paul this move was defeated. If it had not been that in providence of God Paul was raised up to oppose it, the whole Christian church would have been placed under the bondage of the Mosaic law. As it was, that council freed only the Gentile converts from obedience to Moses’ law. Acts 15:19, 23; 21; 25. All Jewish Christians still kept it.”RCASDA 50.7
