The "party of the Pharisees" says new coverts to Christ must be circumcised 2. the position of Peter, Paul and Barnabas is that circumcision is not required- salvation through Christ is universally available |
| What is the third basic position on Moses, the Law and circumcision proposed at the so-called "Council of Jerusalem"? | The position of James: he favors continued limited imposition of some of the law, a practice eventually is discontinued by the church |
| Why is circumcision important to the Jews who are beginning to believe in Christ? | Circumcision has been central to covenant with Abraham; a central moment in religious life; critical identifying characteristic; "cut off from God's people' with out it |
| Why is the issue of circumcision important to the Gentiles who are beginning to believe in Christ? | Difficult ritual to undergo; question of its significance for them in light of Christ's message of salvation- why should they need to be circumcised? |

| Does Romans say we "earn" our justification, or that we are given it freely to God? | We are given it freely. ("amazing grace") We would "earn" punishment if we got what we deserve |
| Does Paul end up thinking that circumcision is necessary to be justified? | Circumcision is not necessary. We are not bound by the Law which we cannot uphold |
| Why are we not allowed to "boast about our righteousness"? | Since all is dependent of God's forgiveness and grace we cannot boast. We do not "achieve" or "earn" salvation, but we are given it. |
