Again the point that Jews did not have to discontinue their religions traditions and rituals and practices, and that the Gentile converts did not have to adopt Jewish tradition (or become Jewish) is something that ties in with what I've been studying in Current Trends in Islam. Based on this, can we translate it to the case of Muslims who follow Jesus? Can they remain in their religious culture/rituals, etc.?
Also, are the formalizations in the Church that came at the end of the first century affirmed by what Jesus taught? How important are official roles in the Church? Are there some that are necessary and some we could do without?
