Dear Hyam,
I quite agree with your statements about God-fearers, but not with what is
copied here. On what basis do you claim that circumcision was down-graded by
Paul for Jewish adherents, or that this is the basis of the split with the
Jerusalem churches for Paul, or that there was such an eventual split at all
(during this period) because of this or any other issue? This is a key issue
for the discussion.

Regards,
Mark
