  Apostle Peter learns from a vision that the Lord doesn't make any food or
people unclean.  All (including uncircumcised Gentiles who don't have Mosaic
law) with faith in Jesus have their sins forgiven.

  By the time of the events in Acts 15, the Christians had learned, via apostle
Peter and Cornelius, etc., that it was time to expand their mission to include
Gentiles--people whose uncircumcised men, those from among the nations, didn't
follow Mosaic law.  (Also see Eph.2:11-20, written after the events of Acts
15.)

  Some related history about the Gentiles
 
  Among the Gentiles, murder, theft, and injustice were already generally con-
sidered to be bad.  However, fornication, idolatry, and eating blood (and, more
generally, at least eating meat from animals not slaughtered and koshered the
Jewish way) were practiced by many.

  Fornication (illicit sex) was indulged in with temple prostitutes (as in the
cult of Aphrodite) and at Roman feasts and festivals.

  Since Jews were only about 7% of the Roman Empire (Corinth wasn't one of the
towns the Jews were numerous in) in 70 AD (GTW note: sorry for the late date
instead of 49 AD)...
