The council was held out side of Jerusalem, it was called the council of Jerusalem
The Jerusalem council was held in Acts chapter 15. It was a meeting of the early Christian leaders to discuss the inclusion of Gentile believers in the church without the need for circumcision.
The Council of Jerusalem, held around AD 50, confirmed that gentiles could become Christians without being circumcised. The decision was made by the apostles and elders of the early Christian church, led by Peter and James. They agreed that faith in Jesus and baptism were sufficient for salvation, regardless of background or adherence to Jewish customs.
In Acts 15, a council was held in Jerusalem to discuss whether Gentile converts needed to follow Jewish customs, ultimately deciding that these customs were not necessary. In Galatians 2, Paul recounts a meeting in Jerusalem with the apostles where they agreed that Gentile believers did not need to be circumcised or follow Jewish laws. Acts 15 provides a more detailed account of this decision-making process, while Galatians 2 presents a more personal perspective from Paul.
The twelve apostles played a significant role in the spread of Christianity and the organization of the early church. They were key figures in establishing Christian communities and spreading the teachings of Jesus. However, their influence varied among the different regions and communities, and not all apostles were present at every council meeting.
Christians wanted to recapture Jerusalem during the Crusades because it held significant religious importance as the location of key events in the Christian faith, such as the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. They believed that controlling Jerusalem was essential for protecting and preserving their religious heritage.
The Crusades wanted Jerusalem because it was considered a holy city for Christians, Muslims, and Jews. It held religious significance and symbolized power and control over the Holy Land. Many of the Crusaders sought to reclaim Jerusalem from Muslim rule and secure it as part of Christian territory.
