Question 1 Report

Which of the following conditions did James impose on the Gentiles before they could be admitted into the church?
Answer Details
According to the book of Acts, James imposed the condition of abstinence from the pollution of idols on the Gentiles before they could be admitted into the church. This meant that they were not to eat meat that had been sacrificed to idols or participate in any pagan rituals. James' decision was based on the belief that the Gentiles should not be burdened with the Jewish law, but they should still observe certain moral principles. This condition was agreed upon by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem and was communicated to the Gentile converts through a letter.
