NT5-10 Paul and Timothy

Paul and Barnabas travel to Jerusalem. There the church debates the need for circumcision and the rest of the ceremonial law of Moses. The church recognizes that all are saved by grace alone without any works. But out of love for their Jewish brothers the Gentiles are asked to refrain from certain things which are really hard for the Jews to see. All the churches rejoice to hear that salvation is freely given without any works of men.
