    So… these guys are rejecting Jesus’ teachings to follow pharasitical law?

    Or do they really plan to follow:

    • Love the Lord your god with all your heart, mind, soul and strength
    • Love your neighbor as yourself
    • Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

    Because the stuff in the Old Testament is the stuff that failed to accomplish its goal, which is the entire reason it’s included at all.

    Or are they planning a global literalist interpretation of Paul’s instructions to various people? So, take a little wine, don’t let women speak or be uncovered in public, nobody wears jewelry or makeup or perfume, no same-sex sex, no familial sex of any kind, no behaving in a way that may cause another believer to sin, donate regularly to the Christians in Jerusalem?
