As far as your theory about Matthew 10:50, the Lord's command after His Resurrection to go to ALL nations, renders it moot.

What's really funny is that you don't know for sure whether Jesus said any of that stuff that is printed in red ink...All you know for sure is that the authors of those books make the claim that Jesus said those things...

Luke writes what he says Jesus said, before the resurrection...Paul writes what he claims Jesus said, after the resurrection...Don't you guys ever think these things thru, or you just blindly accept what your religion tells you???

So, now you are saying that the Gospels are lies?

You don't know for sure if Paul wrote what it attributed to him.

Fortunately, WE have the authority of the Church and its tradition. You have, at best, the theories of a 16th century cleric.

Exactly...That's what I and the scriptures are telling you...

Before the resurrection, salvation was to Jews only...Jesus told the apostles to avoid all Gentiles...After the resurrection, Jesus says to preach salvation to all nations and people...

You know it, you admit it but yet you can' figure it out...Things changed after the resurrection...And NO, the 2nd command does not make the first one moot...

Under the first command, the Gospel was directed at Jews...The Jews for the most part rejected the Messiah...Jesus then blinded the minds of those Jews and sent the apostles into all the world to preach to the Gentiles and offer than what was only intended for the Jews...

There is a time coming again, when the times of the Gentiles gets fufilled; when God will lift the blinders from the minds of the Jews and he will deal with THEM again...
