is there a difference between Jew and gentile in the bible?

[Lulav]

Ditto here. How rabbinics and Messianics view them as well. Quite differs from scripture today.

How so?

How so?

Their status as teachers and the high court for one.

Their status as teachers and the high court for one.

What do you consider the 'High Court'?

 

[ralliann]

What do you consider the 'High Court'?

The Sanhedrin at the temple, where the cases too difficult for the lower courts were decided.
Deut 17:8 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;
9 And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment:

Of course the priests were also authoritative in the lower courts as well.

De 21:5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried:
8 ¶ And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;

Deuteronomy 21:5 Is literally by their MOUTH. Which is the same word used in all the scriptures concerning the decisions in the court. Mouth is what? ORAL.


9 Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.
10 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.

Notice that it is the connection between their being priests ministering at the altar being chosen for this position in the court.

This is liturgical statement here being made about the traditions of the Pharisees imposed on their disciples
Mt 23:4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

Pharisaical enactments and or violations had no place with regards to the removal of sin, in defilement or cleansing like the priests did. Pronouncing clean unclean etc.

Which was done with the finger of the priest
Le 14:27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD:
Le 16:14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
Le 16:19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
Nu 19:4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:

Not anymore in relation to our salvation.

Ephesians 1:5
New Living Translation
5 God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.

Romans 8:15
New International Version
15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[a] And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

Galatians 3:28
New International Version
28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Not any more.

All mankiind is on the same footing; i.e., salvation is by faith in and trust on the person and atoning work (blood, Ro 3:25) of Jesus Christ for the remission of one's sin, which is salvation from God's wrath (Ro 5:9).
