“For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;”
Acts 15:28 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 15:28
The Council's decision formula 'it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us' shows remarkable balance between divine guidance and human discernment. The directive to lay 'no greater burden' on Gentiles than necessary minimal requirements (food laws, sexual purity) protected unity while respecting Jewish sensibilities. This decision liberated Gentile Christianity from Jewish ceremonial law.
