***Paul was ordained from the get-go to be the apostle to the Gentiles***

Interesting. Why did Peter convert the first Gentile and why did Paul split most of the next decade or so between the Jews and Gentiles if this were truly the case?

If it were the case??? You've been show these scriptures numerous times...Apparently you just refuse to believe them...

Act 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

Gal 2:7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;

Of course Paul preached to everyone...But his mission was to inform the Gentiles they would be allowed into the family of God by adoption AND, without works, but by the grace of God...

Actually I believe that Peter was the first to convert a Gentile and that Paul split his time between the Gentile and the Jew before he went to Rome.

I guess that you only got part of Paul’s message.
