Probably because the MAD playbook doesn't have it all figured out and needs to keep adjusting their perspective upon further study. To be fair, everyone should do that. It's not as though MAD doesn't have any good points, but they do go a bit too far out in left field at times and try to force...

The not eating with Gentiles seems to be inferred due to the factor that the Jewish families were to be separate (ie. not mingle with) Gentiles. And the instruction of not eating with Gentiles was made even before Moses and the law given at Sinai. The instruction stemmed from what Abraham had...

Through their fall ......... Romans 11:11 KJV (11) I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. Romans 10:19 KJV (19) But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I...

Peter knew it was the same gospel that saves both Jews and Gentiles. Acts 15:8-11 KJV (8) And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; (9) And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. (10) Now...

Right. Salvation was know by the scriptures. 2 Timothy 3:15 KJV (15) And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Yes we are. No it's not.

What is really frustrating of what some MADs think is that they think that the gospel of the death, burial, and resurrection which bestows grace for all that believe will be a worthless gospel that is unable to save anyone in the future.

I bolded a portion of your posted verse to draw attention Paul's doctrine of faith was from what was written (ie. OT scripture). It does appear that they taught the same thing.

Romans 1:1-2 ESV (1) Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, (2) which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, . . (16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who...

There is no doubt that Peter and Paul wrote to the same group of people because Peter clearly states that they did. 2 Peter 3:14-18 KJV (14) Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. (15) And account...

.... continued from post #21 Who was Peter writing to? 1 Peter 1 KJV (1) Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, This word "strangers" is only used 3 times in NT. --- 1 Pet 1:1, 1 Pet 2:11, Heb 11:13 Who...

Jesus, Peter, and Paul taught the gospel from the scriptures. They all three taught of those that were not a people (ie. Gentiles) being counted as people of the Lord. PETER 1 Peter 2:10 KJV (10) Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained...

It was a unity ---- morning and evening.

Yeppers. It was the main part of the gospel that all the apostles (including Paul) taught. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 ESV (1) Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, (2) and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word...

Right. And Paul certainly knew that and vowed to tell all that the Lord Jesus Christ was the very one that was crucified for it, and thus was the fulfillment of Isaiah 53.

Exactly! And Paul beautifully explains why that mystery had been veiled: 1 Corinthians 2:7-10 ESV (7) But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. (8) None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have...

Absolutely. Isaiah 53 tells all about the suffering of the Lord Jesus Christ. And Paul directs attention to the story by quoting the opening verse of Isaiah 53 (Rom 10:16). Paul consistently used the scripture to make the case of the gospel, as did the other apostles, and as we should do as well.

I know. I bet you do too! The same scriptures that both Jesus and Paul said to search. (John 5:39, Act 17:11) Though it was a mystery previously veiled in scripture because it was necessary to veil beforehand, for had they known they would not have crucified the Lord (1 Cor 2:8); but in...

Right. This is an instance where one must make a decision on what "lost sheep" means theologically. The descendants of Jacob were scattered throughout the whole world and we have no scriptural record of Jesus literally visiting all those areas. One must also make a decision on whether the Lord...

It shows that a unity (many membered: as hand, foot, eye, ear) can be referred to as a single ("one") body. Multiple members functioning in unity for one purpose. Which is why you shouldn't be so literally strict with the word "one" when it comes to theological issues or you end up with...
