5:33 I would disagree here given that Luke in Acts does record that while Peter and James were in the pro-circumsition camp initially, Peter later moved to the Paul's camp on that issue and while people would say "Acts isn't reliable" no, Luke has proven in his previous gospel to be as reliable as just about any ancient historian. But even then, Paul also records in Galatians of Peter coming towards his camp, tho still being pressured by the Judaisers to often outwardly pretend to be on their side, which Paul was calling out. Kinda interesting that they held James to such high regard given he was the first of the Apostles to die, meaning that he probably held to the position of the Judaizers until his relatively early death while most of the others would have flipped to the position of Paul and Peter.

4:30 I would argue the view that they saw it as part of the Jewish religion is somewhat anachronistic as religions having a hard boundary as we may understand it today is Anarchronistic.
