DOES "ABSTAIN FROM BLOOD" really mean "Do not murder?"

    The Jerusalem Council has become a foundation to the thesis of the Governing Body as being the model of Organization Jehovah imposed on Christianity.

    However, even a casual reading of the Jerusalem congregation's divisive confusion of dogma is sufficient to raise a red flag.

    Paul seems light years ahead in understanding dogma. The Jerusalem Elders are mired in the past.

    The independence of Paul's travels, commission, theology and teaching is obviously outside the jurisdiction of Jerusalem.

    You have to scratch your head and wonder if some of the remaining Apostles aren't targeted by him as troublemakers. Perhaps it is these fuddy-duddy fumblers who think they are Jesus' special envoys who constitute the "superfine Apostles" Paul complained about.
