Halal Food (3)

On of the requirements imposed on the Gentile Christians by the so-called Jerusalem Council was that they should:

Abstain from food sacrificed to idols (Acts 15:29).

I have discussed this passage under a different context in First Church Shambles. The truth is that James and his mates made this decision without consulting the Holy Spirit. Fortunately, the churches in Asia Minor had the sense to ignore it.
