It is Not "Satanic" to Agree with the Apostolic Decree

Описание: A popular account on X (formerly Twitter) recently labeled me a "Judaizer" for agreeing with the Apostolic Decree in Acts 15:20. Other folks then piled on, calling me satanic, a heretic, and all sorts of other names. In this video, I’ll explain why it should not be controversial to believe that the four commandments of the Apostolic Decree are still relevant. As I’ll demonstrate, these four commandments are consistently affirmed throughout the New Testament and early Christian writings.
