@JohnRayKite @TheLaurenChen Hm. So the Jews were first. Even Paul says “to the Jew first, then the Gentile.” Does that mean only Jews can be leaders? As for the fall, there is certainly something there to be explored. Paul says that Adam wasn’t dece...

@eschatologyguy @CherylSchatz Paul always went to the Jew first and then to the Gentiles only when the Jews rejected his message. Paul also circumcised Timothy so that he could join him in ministering to the Jews. God also had to show Peter not to ca...

@eri89494 @CherylSchatz Further, your claim is that because Paul was an apostle to the Gentiles that he wasn’t one of the 12. However, Paul was a Jew just like the others and he always went to the Jew first in every area he went to and only when the ...

@KaeleyT @pauldirks Perhaps what Paul means is male priority. Supremacy is too charged and extreme for what he is proposing. I still disagree with male priority on scriptural grounds. At best, we might see it something like the man was first follo...

Romans 1:16 — "To the Jew first and also to the Greek" reflects a sequential gospel mission, not simultaneous Law-imposition

Connecting the Jewish-first mission to the broader outreach pattern

Acts 13:42-46 -- Paul invited back next Sabbath; nearly the whole city comes; jealous Jews contradict him; Paul and Barnabas declare they are turning to the Gentiles

Survey of Acts 13:42-46, rejection by Jews and turn to Gentiles

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's claim that the NT contains anti-Semitic propaganda and forged passages is theologically foolish — it substitutes his personal agenda for textual criticism and makes him the effective authority over Scripture.

Q: What do you think of Shmuley Boteach's claim that the NT has anti-Semitic propaganda Christians should reject as forgeries?

Romans 9-11 Shmuley Boteach Anti-Semitism and the New Testament Romans 9-11
Mike Winger idea 2020-12-18

The NT is pro-Jewish rather than anti-Semitic: Romans 9-11 teaches the future salvation of all Israel, the gospel goes to the Jew first, and Jesus and all the original apostles are Jewish.

Counter-argument to the anti-Semitism charge against the NT.

Mike Winger idea 2020-12-18

Everything possible is theologically wrong with two-covenant theology (Jews saved by law, gentiles by Christ) — it is unloving to Jewish people because it withholds their own Savior from them.

Summary judgment on two-covenant soteriology.

Pentecost was a divine missionary strategy — God gathered diaspora Jews to Jerusalem so the gospel could radiate back to every nation

Continued Acts 2 discussion on why the miracle happened when and where it did.

Psalm 118 is the key text the crowd quotes — it prophesies the rejected cornerstone (Messiah rejected by Israel's leaders) whom God establishes anyway. Jesus quotes it about himself in Mark 12.
