The letter sent to the Christian community in Antioch of Syria, as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament (specifically Acts 15), advised the Gentile converts to "abstain from certain practices." The main points included:
1. **Abstain from food sacrificed to idols**: Avoid eating meat that had been offered to idols.
2. **Abstain from consuming blood**: This included not eating blood or anything containing blood.
3. **Abstain from the meat of strangled animals**: This refers to animals that were not properly drained of blood.
4. **Abstain from sexual immorality**: This was a moral guideline to maintain purity.
The letter did not instruct Gentile converts to submit fully to the Jewish Law but rather to follow these specific rules to promote unity within the broader Christian community and to respect the Jewish believers' sensibilities.
