Feb 28, 2019 · In addition to that, Jesus came and changed things and saved people their sins, without the help of the Law. Yes, grace coincides with the Law, but the Law is not a necessary part of salvation. That is a major point that Peter was trying to make as well. “God had cleansed the Gentiles through faith (15:9)” (Jipp 83).

Feb 17, 2019 · Acts 10 – Jews and Gentiles. In Acts 10:27-29, Peter expresses his hesitancy to enter the home of a Gentile.

Feb 18, 2019 · Peter, however, does seem to have a strong aversion to eating with a Gentile. In the first part of Acts 10, Peter struggles to understand the vision concerning clean and unclean foods (he is “deeply perplexed,” διαπορέω). After he obeys God by going to Cornelius’ home, he is reluctant to enter (10:28).
But in Acts 15 the issue must be reconsidered. Some believers from Judea insist that God requires that baptized Gentiles be circumcised (and probably keep food laws). A council is held in which Peter Peter (also known as Cephas, Simon Peter) was the disciple who denied Jesus during his trial but later became a leader in proclaiming Jesus.
Feb 2, 2010 · It is therefore left to James to provide the clinching argument: that according to Scripture itself the Gentiles who, it predicts, will join the eschatological people of God will do so as Gentiles.

Acts 11-15. New International Version. Peter Explains His Actions. 11 The apostles and the believers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized him 3 and said, “You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them.”.

Oct 11, 2011 · Exploring the context of this account has led us back to the story of Peter bringing the Gospel to the Gentiles in the book of Acts. If it’s been a while since you’ve read about Peter’s experience, it’s well worth revisiting. Peter’s vision and subsequent meeting with Cornelius mark a pivotal moment in the story of the Gospel.
