What about James' attitude in Acts 21? “Brother, you see how many thousands of believers there are from among the Jews, and they are all zealous observers of the law. 21 They have been informed that you are teaching all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to abandon Moses and that you are telling them not to circumcise their children or to observe their customary practices." Did Paul's admonition in in Gal 4:2 apply to these believers?

@DanFefferman, "They have been informed that you are teaching all the Jews who live among the Gentiles …" — But it wasn't true. 21:24 (NLT): "… that the rumors are all false and that you yourself observe the Jewish laws."
