Paul (and the Apstoles that followed Him) made the desisions this supposed consule made. (As recorded by Acts and several of his books)Which according to some interpertations of the bible seem to Underminded some of the thoughts and teachings of Peter and those who followed him. (who was head of this fore named council according to the powers that be in the cathloic church.)
No matter who you view as being head up this counsule (or even if you believe this council was even formally named and gathered.) The Gentiles were free from Practicing Judisim in order to become Christians. (Like the primary members of the 1st century Church had formly been. Practicing OT Jews, but because they worship Chirst lost their Jew status.)
