At the beginning of the church (first called "Wayists"), this debate started. The Jewish Christians expected Gentile Christians to fall in line with Jewish tradition. That caused many new Gentile Christians to leave the church (in a hurry), why? One word, Circumcision. Circumcision for a grown man was pretty much a death sentence, bleeding out and all that. These events written often in the new testament make it clear that Jews and Gentiles are very different, in the physical world. Spiritually ALL Christians are equal. Just another thought, did you know that originally the term Christian was to be an insult. I can see that interaction now. You are just a, a, a Christian (meaning Little Christ)! THANK YOU, such a wonderful compliment. God Bless
