false
Why did James say that Gentiles should lead moral lives, not eat meat offered to idols, and not eat the blood of an animal?
eliminating barriers in order to help Jewish and Gentile Christian believers find a way to get along. It was a compromise, because he was not asking the Gentile believers to be circumcised (the Jewish believers wanted them to) but he was asking them to take some simple steps toward unity by giving up some practices the Jews found offensive, which were “stumbling blocks” to them.
Describe Cornelius before Peter came to visit him?
Cornelius was an excellent Christian who feared God, prayed, and gave to the poor.
Compare Peter from the time he denied knowing Jesus at Jesus’ trial to the Peter who went to Cornelius.
Peter was a challenger who often acted before he thought, but when he visited Cornelius he was very wise and submissive toward God’s plan.
What event is often referred to as the Gentile Pentecost?
Cornelius’ conversion
Who is Ananias in Acts 9? Discuss his obedience to God.
Ananias had doubt for God’s plan for Saul, but he eventually obeyed God. I think his emotions of fear are in most of us, and the doubt that His plan is the right plan.

in the OT (Ruth, Rahab, etc) they adopted Judaism and in the NT they didn’t- they became Christians.

Describe Peter’s vision and the importance of it.
Peter’s vision was of a blanket full of unclean animals in the sky, and God telling him to kill and eat them. This is referring to the Gentiles being converted to Christianity. Even though Peter might think of them as unclean, they aren’t and need the Holy Spirit as well.
