rev r c todd j lesson acts is 23s9 gal 1010 tne evangelistic tour undertaken by saim and barnabas described in last weeks lesson produced along with many gentile converts a serious con troversy in the early clrflstlan church tne dispute concerned the basis upon which these converts could be admit ted tnto the ohurch should they or shouldnt they be compelled to accept loll that was involved in the jewish re ligion out of which christianity had come for example should they be compelled to become sons of abra ham by the rite of ctnncumdsion in order to receive the promises of ood made to abraham and to his seed most c the jewish christians insis ted that they should paul and bar nabas the leaders of the movement among the gentiles felt that they should not in this hey were suppor ted by peter see acts 10 and acts 15 11 a council was called at jeru salem to consider the matter james the brother of jesus presided and ave an opinion which was accepted and this was embodied in the decree of the council recorded in acts 15 23- 29 the decree was a compromise and did not go as far as paul and barna bas in setting aside the jewish cere monial lav by implication clrcumcl skm was not required but lour in junctions were laid upon the gentile converts which were ceremonial in na ture 1 they must not eat meat which had been offered to idols for this was considered by the greeks to be an act of communion with the pa gan god 2 they must not eat blood that is meat from which the blood had not been drained the practise of draining the blood from the animal goes away back into the history of sacrifice in the jewish religion the blood represented life and was poured out on the ground and on the altar to keep the spirits of the departed alive in the abode of the dead the original intention of the practise was long for gotten but the practise remained and was scrupulously observed by the jews 3 they must not eat meat from strangled animals this is just a par ltlcular application of the foregoing as naturally the blood remained in the strangled a 4 they must train from fornication that is from the ceremonial fornication practised among the fertility cults having to do with the worship of gods and goddes ses of fertility thus a portion of the jewish ceremonial law was retained the consciences ot the strict jewish christians were set at rest the gen tiles believed that in time the rest of the injunctions would have no mean lng in the meantime howeve the foesentlal unity and brotherhood orthe oburch was retained by the compro mise and the way was opened for ttk qwitue eva mission of paul without causing a split in the church the whole epistle to the galatlans deals with this question trouble had arisen in the orsjatlan church foun ded by paul from the influence of certain jewish christians who had not accepted the jerusalem decree tfaey were telling converts in the gentile church that they were not saved un less they were circumcised paul was bitterly and righteously angered by these troublemakers who would set banters between the gentiles and ac ceptance of jesus christ and he wrote very vehemently to the galatlans about the matter telling them that christ had made even jews free from the obligation of the ceremonial law if men had to become jews after the flesh and ceremonially before they could be christians then why did christ die if christian faith was not sufficient for men s salvation apart from adopting the whole burden of jewish law then christ did not save men at all see gat 16211 in gal 5 13 18 paul points out that being freed from the jewish ceremonial law does not mean license to do as one pleases love and brotherhood are more important that liberty because if liber- ly is abused strife and contention re sult and the community is destroyed by them in other words true liberty can be exercised and maintained only within the boundaries of brotherhood lave and do as you please this is exactly where modem capitalistic de mocracy goes wrong with its supreme emphasis upon liberty instead of upon brotherhood within the bounds of which alone can true liberty flourish in gal 5 1618 paul points out that the conflict between the desires of the flesh and the will of god renders a man helpless to do good the use of the word flesh here is important it means not merely sensuous desire not merely the body but the whole na ture of man which is sinful by spi rit paul means not the spiritual ckte of our humanity but the holy spirit only when we are led by christ alive lmongst us in the holy sptrlt are we able o attain real righteousness people vho try to be rtftteuu by their own efforts may acoopt tb tdards of ordinary decent citizenship a the marfee of true christianity as many do today because in these they find a way of life that is quite within their capacity to follow but there is nothing distinctively ohrtatiaft at all about the popular every day standards of good conduct with which most of us are satisfied why should christ have had to die to establish this easy kjnd of morality in the world we have got to face the fact that human nature is essentially sinful that even when we do good evil is present with us that even in our com mon acts of charity we act- selfishly because it gives us a feeling of selfish satisfaction inwardly we do our alms and say your prayers that we may be seen of men the sin of main is so ser ious and so deep rooted that christ had to die for it and doingjjenanoe and having masses said and burning candles and making pilgrimages to the shrines and giving to charity and trying to be brotherly and so forth accomplish as little toward making us righteous- as circumcision would have done for the gentile converts in the time of paul men are saved from their sinful nature only by commltt ment to the grace and mercy of jesus christ this is still the teaching of the protestant ohurch and it must commena itself to all people who have been seriously confronted by their sin- fullness and christ s righteousness christians confess that they owe all to the grace of the xxrd jesus christ and that what righteousness they can bring forth to exhibit before him is nothing but filthy rags this does not mean an indifference to morality it does not mean that since men cannot be truly righteous by their on efforts it does not matter how they conduct themselves paul s teaching arose out of a realization of how deep rooted is our sinful nature and of how high is the righteousness to which god calls us in christ it certainly cannot be said that a man who wrote as paul did in oal 5 1726 and in many other places was indlf rerent to moral issues or christian re sponsibllltles he was striving after real righteousness and because it was so real and so righteous he knew it was humanly unattainable except by the grace of god only what god does in man can be trusted to produce true virtue just thinking mortgage insurance- there are 16 chances of death of the mortgagee to i
