Members No Nicolaitans Posted January 14, 2016 Members Share Posted January 14, 2016 Yes, Paul was the apostle of the Gentiles. Near the end of his life, he said this... Acts 20:17-26 17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church. 18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons, 19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews: 20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, 21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. 22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. 25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. 26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

Members Critical Mass Posted January 14, 2016 Members Share Posted January 14, 2016 So, what's your point? Paul preached the same gospel to Jews and Gentiles since the church is made up of both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Invicta Posted January 14, 2016 Members Share Posted January 14, 2016 Paul was the apostle to the gentiles in the main, but also preached to the Jews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
