The Apostles didn't all agree on everything.
The Jerusalem believers as led by James the Lord's brother were known for keeping the Old Testament Law with animal sacrifices. In
Acts 21:20 (May AD 57) we are told that there were many thousands (Greek word muriades or ten thousands) of Jewish believers who are zealous for the law. Paul was requested to pay for the animals that 4 of the brethren were to sacrifice as they finished a Nazarite vow. Yet many other Christians did not observe sabbaths, new moons, feast days, circumcision, animal sacrifices, tithing, etc.
