Clare73 said:And if you are trying to force your own notion inside that passage by interpreting it to mean two different gospels, the gospel of Jesus for the Jews, and the teachings of Paul for the Gentiles, then you must demonstrate your notion from elsewhere in the NT, because your notion everywhere disagrees with Jesus, who says that
-he was sent to the world, not just to the Jews (John 17:18),
-his gospel will be taken away from the Jews and given to a nation/people (Gentiles) who will produce its fruit (Matthew 21:43),
-his disciples were to take his gospel to all nations, not just to the Jews, making disciples of them (Matthew 28:19),
-the Temple was to be a house of prayer for the nations, not just for the Jews (Mark 11:17),
-his gospel was to be preached to all nations, not just to the Jews (Mark 13:10),
-repentance and forgiveness of sins would be preached in his name to all nations, not just to the Jews (Luke 24:47),
-his gospel is to be preached throughout the whole world, not just to the Jews (Matthew 26:13),
-he tells his gospel to the world, not just to the Jews (John 8:26),
-he was a light to the world, not just to the Jews (John 12:46),
-he was an example of love and obedience to the Father for the world, not just for the Jews (John 14:31),
-the unity of the apostles was to be a witness to the world, not just to the Jews, that he was sent by God (John 17:21, 23)
-he came into the world to testify to the truth, and everyone, on the side of truth, not just the Jews, listens to him (John 18:37).
Jesus everywhere rejects your notion that his gospel is only for/to the Jews, and thereby makes his gospel for/to the whole world, which gospel Peter, James and John took to the Jews, and Paul took to the Gentiles.
It's not only me with whom you disagree.If you don’t wish to use the kjv, just say so, then we can move on, agreeing to disagree
Falls somewhat short of addressing Jesus' words which likewise disagree with you
big time in the above.
