About this episode
David and Christine discuss the apostles' debate in Jerusalem regarding the inclusion of Gentile converts in the kingdom of God.
As the gospel continues to spread among the Gentiles, a dispute arises as to whether non-Jewish converts need to follow Jewish customs like circumcision to be included in the kingdom of God. David and Christine explore the depths of the apostles' discussion in Jerusalem surrounding this issue, taking a closer look at how the apostles interpreted the Scriptures in light of Jesus' ascension to reach their conclusion.
