No. Whats clear is that someone has a wacky theory that Jesus;
* Never in His entire ministry EVER did or said anything which was controversial to Jewish kosher and ritual cleanliness laws.
* Neglected to share His concerns about misguided legalistic Judaism.
* Never intended All Nations to hear the Good News
* And that only late in the piece after He had been Resurrected, did He realise that the Gospel of salvation (which comes from the Jews) might need to be shared OUTSIDE OF JERUSALEM.
Oh, I misread this part. I see what you're trying to say. I don't know why the first two points of that list were brought up. We're not talking about that. We're talking about preaching to gentiles. On the last two points...I don't think Jesus ever said to preach to gentiles.
Quote:Is this a later...new wine into old wineskins, addition to the Gospel?
As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed him.
Mark 1:16-18 (NIV)
Fishers of men?
What men? Jews? Gentiles? Samaritans? Roman tax collectors?
More circular reasoning. You're quoting Jesus to prove that Jesus really said that!
