Well, Peter and Paul clarified that gentiles (they would not have called us goyim, that is a Talmudic curse on gentiles, btw) were not under dietary and other non essential laws, but were to adhere to laws about sexuality.

“Then I heard a voice telling me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat. I replied, ‘Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth. “The voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”

Acts, 11:7-9

God, Himself set aside the dietary laws

They would have referred to the conclusions of the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15, which they both attended.

I was just pointing out that the restricted application of the dietary laws was in view from the outset, as was the universal sanction against porneia.

And "goyim" is the normal Hebrew word for "nations" in the Tanakh. It's not necessarily a curse. The word Peter and Paul used on the written record was ethne, which is Greek. (What they used at home I can't say, since I never learned Aramaic.)
