WHAT WAS THE TORAH DISPUTE ?

Acts 15:1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved [join the community of Israel through the conversion process].

Acts 15:5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them [go through the Pharisaic / Rabbinic conversion process] and to command them to keep the law of Moses [study the Torah laws and be approved for conversion by a Rabbinical court and be circumcised upon conversion]
