If possible please cite where we are told in the New Testament to do the same as the men spoken of in Acts 21:17.
It seems to be quite specific as to the event and the time.

If the Christian teachings of the early church, Jewish and Gentile, were the same, why did the CHRISTIAN Ruler of JERUSLALEM (James) require Paul to take men with vows, offer animal sacrifices if those things were done away?
Sacrifices became useless when Christ became the ONE sacrifice for all and Temple worship stopped when the Romans destroyed it.
There are several things the early church did that were no longer done just a few years later, such as communal living and having all things equal.
Thankfully God stepped in and stopped this before Paul could complete his orders from James. Paul eventually won a free trip to Rome as a consolation prize. ;-)
