good point!! (though its not that big of a deal, it seems to be James who originally said these things (
Acts 15:13) ).....
these passages, for those who may not know, are
(
Acts 15:19-20) Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God, but should write to them to abstain from the things polluted by idols, and from sexual immorality, and from what has been strangled, and from blood.
latter this same information was put into a letter and read by Silas and/or Judas (
Acts 15:27) to another congregation:
(
Acts 15:28-29) For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no greater burden than these requirements: that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell."
