Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.
One of the things I hope you have realized by this point in the journey is how interconnected the Bible is. So many themes and phrases pop up again and again. When reading the New Testament all the way through, and particularly highlighted for us in the letters of Paul, we see that, from the beginning of the dissemination of the Gospel, there were Law-loving Jews who did their best to make sure that the Gentile converts to Christianity were also observing the Jewish Law. That is what the entire chapter from today's video is about.
Paul, having heard the false teachers from Jerusalem trying to sway the Gentile converts in Antioch to obedience to the Mosaic Law and things pertaining to the Aaronic priesthood, traveled with Barnabas and a couple of others to Jerusalem to inquire from the Apostles if he was preaching "in vain " or, as he suspected if the proclamation of the Law to the Gentile converts was contrary to the Gospel.
Now, it is very important to note that these false teachers were saying you "could not be saved" unless you were circumcised according to the Law of Moses. It wasn't, from their perspective, just a good idea. They believed that salvation was about Jesus "and" circumcision. Jesus "and" is always a false gospel and, therefore, always detrimental.
