Ac 15:28 Seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us. The decision was inspired.
Hob's comment on 2012-10-18 11:30:14:
The phrasing "it seemed ..." (or "it is seen") is not Divinely definitive assurance that God (the Holy Spirit; Holy Ghost) really decided the matter about the part of His (Mosaic) Law being reported on by Luke, and here abandoned by "and...us" (Mortal "elders, apostles and brethren"; "the multitude"; or, "the whole church") in their Decree, which is needed to set aside His command to Abraham and his Seed "in their generations" (Moses' testimony in Genesis 17).
