The Jerusalem Council
Storyboard Text
- Unless you are circumsized, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.
- Who says we need to follow your rules?!
- The Gentiles of Antioch refuse to follow the Laws of Moses!
- Very well
- Unbelievable! Head to Jerusalem to talk to the Apostles and Elders about this!
- Let's go Paul, only a 45 day journey
- Ughhhhhh
- We've come to talk about the Gentiles of Antioch, they refuse to follow the Laws of Moses!
- Greetings Paul and Barnabas! What is the reason for your journey?
- I see...follow me
- The Gentiles must be circumsized and required to keep the Law of Moses.
- “Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. God, who knows the heart,showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”
- silence...
- “Brothers,” he said, “listen to me. Simon has described to us how God first intervened to choose a people for his name from the Gentiles. The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written: “‘After this I will return and rebuild David’s fallen tent. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it,that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord,even all the Gentiles who bear my name,says the Lord, who does these things things known from long ago. “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”
- Very well...
- We will write them a letter, apologizing for your behavior and informing them of the basic Jewish laws for them to follow
