you don't even know what i was saying and Diakonos helped me clarify and he agreed with me.
you really just want to be right and you refuse that it was clarified but you love living in the past.
i wonder, how much stuff, from the past, of Others, are you still holding onto?
And you do that, because, of the False Doctrines, you were raised with.

how many people, refuse to offer up Jesus, because they look at people like God has either predestined them to Hell or Heaven, so they don't need to waste their time and now they just need to judge them like God supposedly did before the foundation of the Earth?
and you accuse me of spreading false doctrine when Diakonos has clarified me and agrees with me.

I like your conversation.
Consider that James the Brother of Jesus presided over the council in Jerusalem. After Peter opens the discussion James concludes with:
19 Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God, 20 but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood.
This is then the core of the message that goes out from the council.
Two things jump out at me regarding this passage: 1) there was much discussion and 2) Peter (contrary to Roman church teachings) was merely one of the voices and not the leader.

Paul, did not obey this. All of his letters together describe the entire Old Testament and New and how to operate Gifts, and Leadership. He sure did not hold back from unloading a bunch of Truth upon the New Believing Gentiles.
and then, he would see how that went and later we see either encourage to continue or to rebuke and change back.
But, I like what you're saying!

Ah, I see.
The letter's scope was very narrow. It only addressed the issue of circumcision and the law:
But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
The letter the apostles and elders created began...
"Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, “You must be circumcised and keep the law”—to whom we gave no such commandment—"
This was an answer to the judaizers who were mixing the law with their faith in Christ. The young saints certainly required more teaching than this.
