(July 12, 2014 at 3:37 am)Wyrd of Gawd Wrote: When Jesus told the disciple to go to all nations he was telling them to seek out the Jews living among the local yokels. The Jews were scattered from Spain to India and all around the Mediterranean Sea into Africa. The intent was to preach to them and not to the Gentiles. He told his Apostles that they would be judging the twelve tribes of Israel and not the local yokels living in India, Italy, Spain and Ethiopia.Proof needed.
Or not. You argue that Jesus' disciples preached exclusively to Jews, or at least were told to. So if (when) I bring up the counterexamples, like Peter baptizing a Roman family or Paul advocating for Gentiles to not need to follow Jewish law, your argument will fall apart. You might as well concede now.
I'm sorry, but if you're going to discuss the Bible, you have to go by what is written inside it.
