Best Answer

Gentiles had recently been allowed into the congregation, and the Jews felt that these men should be circumcised, "according to the custom of Moses." The Gentiles didn't agree with this. Paul and Barnabus and some others went to Jerusalem to have the "apostles and elders" settle the dispute. They decided the Gentiles would not be required to be circumcised.

Why isn't Jerusalem part of Israel?

Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. It is understandable that Israel, being of holy significance to 3 major religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) and being one of the most fought-over and conquered pieces of land in the history of mankind, will spark a monsoon of debate, as to who owns what. But, the fact remains that the capital of Israel was proclaimed by the Israeli government in 1950 and this capital is Jerusalem. The issue is that in 1950, Israel did not have sovereignty over East Jerusalem because it was occupied by the Jordanian military as a result of the Arab-Israeli War of 1948.The issue that a lot of international groups have with the Israeli Declaration that Jerusalem is its capital is that the city defined by the Israelis as Jerusalem contains both de jure Israeli territory (West Jerusalem) and the de jure non-Israeli territory (East Jerusalem) which is owed, theoretically, to a Palestinian State under the current interpretation of UN Security Council Resolution 242. UNSC Resolution 478 crystallized the international stance on this issue. If Israel, like East Germany, claimed that half of a city was its operating capital (i.e. West Jerusalem - but East Berlin in the German case), many international observers would have fewer objections to recognizing it as the capital of Israel. However, as the official Israeli capital contains territory that is not technically Israeli, many organizations and countries prefer to treat Tel Aviv, a city that is unequivocally Israeli and the site of David Ben Gurion's Declaration of Independence, as the working capital. Therefore, all embassies in Israel are in Tel Aviv.
