The Jerusalem Council "and the Holy Ghost" decided gentiles/non-Hebrews did not need to follow all the Law/s of Moses in order to be accepted and acceptable - the moral laws.. of course! But there were also civil laws and dietary laws included in the laws given for Israel in order to prepare a place for Messiah -- it says in the New Testament, God knew man cannot follow the standards of perfection, not now. And trying to, ties one up in knots.. sooner or later. (These days meats are given lots of antibiotics so not everyone needs to choose to have dietary rules. Others do, but both are clearly told not to judge each other concerning such things.)
