Hebrew Christians and Mosaic Ritual
The Hebrew Messianic Council of Boston, Mass., has been reconstituted and will hold a convention of Hebrew Christians in Park Street Church, Boston, May 21-24. Rev. A. T. Pierson, who has been prominent for so long in missionary operations, will preside. One of the principal points to be discussed in the convention is stated to be “Is a Hebrew obliged, by the terms of essential Christianity, in becoming a Christian, to abrogate the ritual of Mosaic Judaism, the Levitical customs and ceremonies?” The announcement says that eminent scholars will discuss the question in the convention. It is to be hoped that the Word of God will have undisputed sway, and that its authority and instruction in the matter may be fully considered. The question under discussion is not new. It is the same question that Paul and the rest of the apostles had to meet in their day. And the only way to meet it properly is by the Word of God. Let God say what shall be done, and then do it, without quibble or hesitation.
