Question on Acts 21:26? -
March 31st, 2012, 06:56 PM
It seems here in Acts 21:26, Paul is allowing for a OT/OC offering of blood, at the advice of James, which seems to fly in the face of Hebrews 10. So I have trouble understanding this verse when lined up against Hebrews 10:12-18. So any ideas on how these two passages do not contradict each other?
19 Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law.

Christs sacrifice did not fulfill all sacrifices of the law.
Not that one must perform the law to fulfill them, but Paul did as also do Messianic Jews sometimes today in not rejecting the spiritual by performing something of the law such as the feast days etc.
So what is the new covenant reality of what Paul did, because one can use the law to preach many things of the NC.

Hi , and this is one verse that seem to say that Paul was going against his commission of Only preaching Grace and that Paul could Never go back an and be a Law of Moses keeper EVER again , Gal 1:23 and Gal 2:18 .
Paul , I believe did all he could to reach his people , but I believe that he, PAUL , was stopped in Acts 21:26 from breaking his commission of Rom 1:1 and Gal 2:18 !!

Paul knows that his 'justification/righteousness' is in Christ's work alone. He is not seeking to be 'justified' by law.
