How did the Apostle Paul believe personal and cultural differences would be best handled in the First Century? The blending of ecclesias with Jews and Greeks was no small concern, with significant cultural differences facing them in a multitude of ways.

Further, how can this guide us today in our ecclesial communities as we see differences? What is a tradition and what is a Bible truth?
