In Chronological order IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER The Gentiles didnt have access to the Old Testament; Matthew 10:5-7 Jesus instructs His disciples not to go the way of the Gentiles nor to the cities of the Samaritans, but to the lost sheep of Israel preaching the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand; This means that they were heralding declaring that the Messiah their KING was present in the person of Jesus Christ. The Gentile (non Jewish) world didnt even know or consider Israels Messiah and King; especially if any thought liken to the Jews that their Messiah was to come and make war against Israels enemies. Acts 11:19 shows in its time line to be approximately a little over a decade that the disciples had not preached to none other than to the Jews only. They had no reason to deter from the LORDS instruction in Matthew 10:5-7 When the LORD instructed Peter to go to the house of Cornelius and did they who knew nothing of the call of the LORD to Peter to do so were angered with Him and he lost his top notch as leading Pastor to the assembly at Jerusalem. As we see in Acts 15 James is then the top Pastor. They accused Peter of going in unto Gentiles homes and eating with them which was against the teaching of the law. This reveals that they were still embracing Moses and the law as well as with Christ. Remember in Chronological order, because it is believed that the disciples are going out into the world of the Gentiles and preaching the gospel of the kingdom of heaven. I have just pointed out that they could not have and did not have via instruction from the LORD Himself Matthew 10:5-7 Heres the nail to put it deep I say to you that Jesus Christ was a minister to the circumcision for the promises made unto the fathers, Romans 15:8 WHATS MY POINT you ask? It was Jesus who appeared to Saul when he was about going and seeking out Jews who had believed in Christ who were scattered for the dispersion of the Jews for fear for the stoning of Stephen Saul a Pharisee who had papers from the Sanhedrin to seek them out and bring them bound in chains to Jerusalem to answer for their crime of sedition Acts 11:18-19, Acts 26:12-18 We read here in Acts 26:18 that Christ Himself commissioned SAUL/PAUL to be a minister to the Gentiles, we are going to go real fast here o.k. In Acts 20:27 Paul after his conversion and commission to the Gentiles said to those of Ephesus that I did not shun to preach and teach the full counsel of God As I mentioned before that the Gentiles didnt have access to the Old Testament, Matthew Mark Luke and John wasnt written yet, so also the letters of James Peter nor Johns were written until 90 to 98 AD. The letters of Paul were written between 61 and 68 AD.The book of Revelation wasnt written either until about the same time of Johns letters. Heres the point Paul gave the full counsel of God and to them to whom he gave the full counsel of God had no need for the other written letters. Because of the writers being Jewish the knowledge of which they wrote was not geared to the Gentiles as was Pauls. Paul received knowledge of the Church which is called the Body of Christ, here .Ephesians 3:5-6, which is consummated in Baptism into Christ here. 1Co12;12-13. Paul mentions the fellow heirs we are with Christ, and partakers of the same body and promise speaking of the promise of the Spirit, SEE Romans 8;14-17 Like no other Paul could saY, having given, the full counsel of God ....Till we all come unto the Unity of the faith and knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man; unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ Ephesians 4:13 Romans 16:25 Ephesians 3:4-5 and Colossians 1:26 reveals that the knowledge given to Paul was not given to any other the knowledge God ordained to our glory, 1Co.2:6-8. Paul said that God kept hid from ages and generations what God is then unto Paul revealing to him THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST, 2Co12:1-2 Galatians 1;11-12 YOU REALLY OUGHT TO BE STUDYING THE LETTERS OF PAUL AND GLEANING THE FAITH AND KNOWLEDGE (Im not yelling just emphasizing) That is if you will to be conformed to the image of Christ Romans 8:29-30, 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Ephesians 4;13, 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14.Through the knowledge of Him Co.3:10
