wellllll...but never mindI rarely ever talk about myself.
here in this thread you should talk about this:
Gal 2:2 Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas. I took Titus along also.
2 I went in response to a revelation and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. I wanted to be sure I was not running and had not been running my race in vain.
3 Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.
4 This matter arose because some false believers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves.
5 We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.
remind them that Paul went to consult with the Jews in order to make SURE that what he was telling the goyim was appropriate...you know "kosher"...the issue of circumcision was addressed and well later it was understood even by Peter that the Spirit saw believing goyim hearts purified...their hearts circumcised...or as Paul would even still later term it "the inner jew"...
yeah tell them how they did NOT change anything about the gospel so that the TRUTH of the gospel might be preserved...which is of course is faith in Yahushua and to believe and NOT just hear but to DO everything He and they taught...and modelled...you know copy me as I copy Christ...so worship like, and eat like...
( oh and don't burden yourselves with burdens not even they had to carry as they didn't have to make the decision to be cut...because they were WAY too young 8 days old to decide whether or not they should be circumcised...that burden was for their parents to decide...circumcision never saved anyway was the teaching in the OT...I mean Muslims circumcise too are they saved?)
now imagine if Paul was trying to sneak past these zealous Jews a teaching that Sabbath was done away with and now every day was Holy...oh and that they could eat cats bats and wombats! LOL
