The argument
Acts 15 refuses to place the full national Torah enclosure on Gentile believers while demanding separation from idolatry and immorality. Paul describes inclusion, grafting, and a new humanity under Messiah—not the replacement of Israel by a Roman church.
Why it matters
The nations receive mercy without becoming Yahweh's owner, erasing Israel, or converting the gospel into a civilization project.
What this teaching does not claim
Freedom from ethnic conversion is not freedom for lawlessness, contempt for Israel, or participation in idolatrous systems.
