Jesus came first for the lost sheep of Israel.
Matthew 15:24 He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel."
John 12:32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."

Jesus doesn't tell everyone to do that.

Have you thought that out carefully? You do not make any sense. We are to be obedient. That is what God says.
That does not make sense either. We have to obey. Jesus says we are to obey.

Why don't you obey then?

Why do you think you know what I do? Do you know what an accuser of the brethren is?
What makes you think I do not obey? Is it because you have never obeyed and cannot imagine anyone else being able to?

I didn't say that He did. I said racism kept Jew and Gentile apart. The Jewish people were racists at this point in history.

God told the people to keep separate, and Paul teaches that too.
2 Corinthians 6:17 Therefore, "Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you."

I can hardly believe that JonahofAkron calls that racism.

He did indeed. The problem isn't the God ordained separation. It was the refusal to make it easy for Gentiles to come to God. They were supposed to be the light of the world and they made it difficult for a Gentile to be given passage into Judaism. That's the problem of Acts 15.

This scripture also proves that we have to obey to be saved.

I agree. See post 210 for my response. Say something meaningful; not the same stuff over and over again. I've already answered your nonsensical comments.

Now you are switching it up. The Gentiles had to obey the purification/ceremonial works of the law, and that was in force over 1,600 years before Christ.

What the heck are you talking about? If they don't align themselves with the nation of Isreal, they had to no such thing. The revelation was given to Israel.

Are you a paralyzed man that Jesus told to stand up?
God gives wisdom to those who obey Him.
Maybe you would have understanding if you obeyed.

YOU said it wasn't made easy for them. The Jews followed the Law!
Does it bother you that you can only say things like that because you cannot defend your beliefs?
This is fun.
