[Uncle Chip]

Actually, you have the temporal order of the scriptures exactly REVERSED here. IT says very specifically that the tabernacle of David would be restored AND THEN BECAUSE OF THAT the Gentiles would be brought into submission to that "fallen tabernacle" which has been restored. Again, the scriptural order is: 1) Restoration first 2) Gentiles second You have it backwards. No other way to say it.

No --- you have it backwards. Verse 14 comes before verse 16. There is no other way to read it --- unless you stand on your head.

Actaully, No. Again. 14 is the fact of the Gentiles coming then James says, this is in accord with the following 1) restoration, 2)gentiles.

v 14 is James' description of Peter's description and not a part of the passage he was quoting, which (again) states that the order of things is FIRST the restoration of david and THEN inclusion of Gentiles.
