Which council did Paul the Apostle attend to discuss the inclusion of Gentiles in Christianity?

Council of Nicaea
Council of Ephesus
Council of Chalcedon
Council of Jerusalem

Answer

Paul the Apostle attended the Council of Jerusalem, which took place around 50 AD. The council was held to discuss the inclusion of Gentiles in the Christian faith and whether they should be required to follow Jewish customs and laws. The council ultimately decided that Gentiles did not need to adhere to all Jewish customs, paving the way for the spread of Christianity among non-Jewish communities.
