What issue was raised by the Judaizers against Paul in Early Christianity?

∙ 8y ago
Certain teachers in the church (Acts 15), who are commonly called Judaizers, were trying to impose the Law upon the Christians. Paul stressed that we are saved by Grace and that now the Gentiles are given Grace and not judged under the law, thus a conflict arose concerning meats sacrificed to Idols and the blood of strangled animals. Paul and Barnabas showed that God owned the preaching of the pure gospel to the Gentiles without the law of Moses; therefore to press that law upon them was to undo what God had done. The pagan society that Paul was preaching to looked at strangled meat (not blood drained) as a delicacy, but as the reason for this has long ceased, we are left free in this, as in the like matters. Let converts be warned to avoid all appearances of the evils which they formerly practiced.

Did the gentiles have to keep kosher?
In Judaism: Judaism argues that there are certain Divine Laws which apply to Gentiles (Non-Jews), called the Noahide Laws. The Noahide Laws do not contain any requirement for Gentiles to keep kosher, but there is a requirement that Gentiles not consume an animal while it still lives.In Christianity: This was an argument among Christians in the early days of the Church. A minority called Judaizers argued that all of the Old Testament Law was binding on new converts to Christianity and that a person had to convert to Judaism before becoming a Christian. Accordingly, Judaizers argued that the Laws of Kashrut applied to Christians. However, Apostle Paul and the majority of the Christian leadership disagreed holding that Jesus was the fulfillment of the Old Testament Law and, therefore, the ritual laws like Kashrut were no longer binding on Christians. Paul's view became the mainstream view as more and more Greeks converted to Christianity and had no intention to become kosher, observe the sabbath, or get circumcised.
