Quite an interesting topic YPO534 and certainly worth looking at. I remember Brother Lee sharing on this matter in the past….. that what Paul was really doing was trying to make an attempt to bring together both the Jewish and Gentile elements of the church. Even though he knew that the practice of Jewish rituals meant nothing…he was willing to do it to demonstrate his oneness with the believing Jews.

I Corinthians 1:19-23
“For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ) that I might gain them that are without law. To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.”
