If there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek

Wow, way to take that out of context. He's referring to Christians: "they [the unbelieving Jews], not knowing the justice of God and seeking to establish their own, have not submitted themselves to the justice of God. For the end of the law is Christ: unto justice to everyone that believeth." (Rom 10:3-4)

For you are all the children of God, by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you be Christ's, then are you the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise. (Gal 3:26-29)

And that's exactely what I was referring to, the Gentile Christians, and the Jewish Christans.

The Jewish Christians still kept the Laws of Moses, circumcision, the Levitical dietary laws of clean and unclean meats, the Jewish feast days, the Sabbath, the Temple etc, while the Gentiles were only asked to...

Acts 15:19-20 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

The believing Gentiles and Jew had much less in comon with each other then the Catholic Church and the Non-Catholics today, yet Paul said, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE.

Now do you get it?
