Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The controversy in the early Jesus movement was whether Gentiles needed to observe the Jewish law. This is evidenced by the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15, where leaders of the early church discussed and ultimately decided on this issue. The other options, such as who was responsible for Jesus's death and the notion of fertility rituals, were not major controversies in the early Jesus movement. While the issue of food laws was discussed (as seen in Acts 10 with Peter's vision), it was not as significant as the debate over Gentile observance of Jewish law.
