Please show us where Peter, during Acts 1-8, says that there in neither Jew nor Greek in the body of Christ (hint: there was no body of Christ at that time).

The Holy Spirit leveled a murder charge against Israel at Pentecost. Not one word about being dead to sin and the reason he died. And he learned why the cross happened after the start of Paul's ministry. The meaning of the cross was revealed to Paul first. Peter learned it and wrote about it later. Now, go paste early Acts like I said. If you don't, you are hedging and not acting in good faith.
Blasphemer. You just blasphemed the Holy Spirit. Congratulations. But like Paul, you can actually be forgiven.
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
The Holy Spirit was speaking through Peter and said the end of the world as they know it is here. They had to go through the 70th week, which is the last 7 years, called the great tribulation in Matthew 24. Then he returns, forgives Israel as a nation for sin, and restores their kingdom. He will rule from Jerusalem. And it isn't just the commies and muslims destroyed in Revelation 19. All the liars and thieves that operated USAID will be destroyed too.
22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— 23 Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; 24 whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 3
According to the Holy Spirit, he was murdered but raised up to sit on David's throne. This was prophecy.
36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
Repentance, water baptism, remission (not permanent) so they can be forgiven in the future.
19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, 21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.
All of this is prophecy. His crucifixion was hidden in prophecy. It's meaning was hidden in prophecy. It can be searched through the scriptures.
Paul was the vessel to whom the reason for the crucifxion happened, and to him the unsearchable riches of Christ. It is not in prophecy that pagans of western Europe who bow down to false gods can be saved without the requirements to Israel. No repentance, no water baptism, no tongues or miracles. Believe and be saved from hell.
1For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles— 2 if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, 3 how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, 4 by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), 5 which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: 6 that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel, 7 of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power. 8 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;
