Isn’t it amazing to meet the odd person who believes he/she know more than Paul about to whom Jesus sent Paul? I seem to recall Paul writing that he was the Apostle to the Gentiles, while Peter was the Apostle to the Jews. Then there is that episode in the House of Cornelius, where Peter seems to be opening that kingdom door to the Gentiles (lest we forget those keys Jesus gave to him). How fortunate we are to have a disciple of J M Rood to correct us! /sarc
Why would Peter have to be convinced to go to the Gentiles when, according to Rood, Jesus already told them that they were "the lost sheep of the house of Israel"?
