Giving Bible readers what God said not what translators think God meant
The Jerusalem Council provides a biblical model for Scriptural oversight, doctrinal accountability, and unity among all Christian congregations.
Biblical unity rests on sound doctrine, faithful exegesis, apostolic teaching, and shared submission to Jehovah’s inspired Word.
