Jerusalem Council in 15

The decision made by the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15 is one of the most misunderstood chapters in the New Testament today! Taking Acts 15:19-20 out of context, many insist that the Counsel at Jerusalem expected Gentiles to keep only four of the Laws:
Abstain from
1. Pollutions of Idols
2. Fornication
3. Things strangled
4. Blood.

If only we would read the next verse Acts 15:21 a lot would be cleared up: “For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath."

This one forgotten sentence states the new Gentile Believers were expected to go to the Synagogue every Sabbath and hear the Law of Moses preached and expounded upon. In other words, the council is saying they should not expect the new converts to learn everything at once, but to ask them to abstain from four things and they would hear rest of the Commandments which are preached weekly and learned.

No one can keep the Father’s Commandments to earn salvation, but we keep His Commandments because we love our Heavenly Father. Just because “Thou shalt not kill” or “Thou shalt not steal” was not mentioned in the decision of the counsil, does not mean Gentiles were exempt from obeying those Commandments. We cannot pick and choose from God/Yahweh’s Word.

Jesus/Yeshua said, "Don't think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete. Yes indeed! I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not so much as a jot/yud or a stroke/tittle will pass from the Torah, not until everything that must happen has happened. So whoever disobeys the least of these mitzvoth/commands and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever obeys them and so teaches will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven." (Matthew 5:17-19)

“Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.“ (Romans 3:31)
