I wonder why Paul took part of the ceremonial law here?:
"Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law. As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication. Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them" (Acts 21:24-25).
Are we to believe that Paul preached one thing and then did another?
Besides that,why in the world would Paul say anything to the Gentiles about being saved apart from the "works" of the ceremonial law since they were never under the ceremonial law in the first place (Ro.2:14)?
As usual, those who deny that we are saved by grace through faith alone prove that they do not believe the very gospel which saves So they are unable to understand these simple things (1 Cor.2:14).
Jerry,
I will respond to what you say here, but first I want to ask you why you are not able to answer questions yourself?
