So, my "walking with Jesus" friend, how would YOU or I resolve this disagreement? Well, the elders at Jerusalem had an idea. Paul, a Jewish ritual of purification is about to take place. The men shave their heads as a symbol of making a vow. We suggest you go with the four who are committed to take part in this Jewish ritual. People will see you following the Jewish ritual and be persuaded that you are NOT against the customs and traditions of our great ancient leader Moses, "...but that you do walk according to Jewish customs and laws."(Acts 21:22-24) "But, concerning the non-Jewish/Gentile Believers, we have decided that THEY do NOT need to follow Jewish customs, except to abstain from eating food offered to idols, or unbled meat, and to abstain from immorality." So, Paul went with the four and participated in the purification ritual in the temple, and made the required payments and
sacrifices. (Acts 21:25-26) Do you think that was enough to settle the disagreement, and bring everyone into harmony? Have YOUR best efforts succeeded in settling disagrements? "Let the Peace of God rule in your hearts...and be thankful, " Paul counselled the Colossians 3:15.
