Quote:But we do know that the effects of the desisions Paul made weren't for those directly in Jerusalem.
Which still fails to answer the question of why Judaeans would give a rat's ass, either way?
Oddly, the Ebionites.... a supposedly heretical group of xtians who clung to mosaic law were first mentioned by Justin Martyr in the mid-2d century and later by Irenaeas at the end of the 2d century.
What has any of that got to do with Jews in the middle of the first? If this was such a problem it certainly argues against the authority of these so-called church fathers being able to get people to listen to them?
What excuse will you care to make up for this?
Oh, and one other minor point...... that same "Justin Martyr?" The one who wrote so much? He never mentions anyone named "Paul."
Isn't that odd?
