@BadOptniks @James_Dixon @patris @JohnYoungE @Escoffier @Sulla_Felix @somemightsay I am asking, point blank - why was the First Council of Jerusalem held in the first place ? If the Church is just sharing the Gospel, and forming communities around it - what was the point of the Council ?

  @BadOptniks @James_Dixon @patris @JohnYoungE @Escoffier @Sulla_Felix @somemightsay The One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of course! This is standard Orthodox Ecclesiology.

  @KingOfWhiteAmerica @James_Dixon @patris @JohnYoungE @Escoffier @Sulla_Felix @somemightsay I hear you, but what is your point in making argument that a counsel exists to redirect early Christians towards gospel? That other counsels - not in the Bible - have the same authority as the Bible itself?

  @BadOptniks @James_Dixon @patris @JohnYoungE @Escoffier @Sulla_Felix @somemightsay My point is, that *we* are the Faith Communuin that *held* the First Council in Jerusalem; and we held it because certain problems were cropping up subsequent to the Founding of these Apostolic communities.
  Why would there be any problems ? If it‘s all just “sharing the Gospel and forming communities around it”, why couldn’t each of this communities deal with it on their own ? What reason did they believe St. James in Jerusalem had answers for them, that applied in any way to them ? Where did *that* come from ?
