   Feb 18, 2019 · Acts 10 – Peter and Salvation of the Gentiles. After Cornelius receives the Holy Spirit, Peter returns to Jerusalem. The “circumcised believers” there asked him about his visit to a Gentile’s home. To what extent is Peter defending himself in this section? Luke says that they the circumcised believers “criticized him” (διακρίνω).

   Feb 17, 2019 · God is clearly pushing to break the divide between Jews and Gentiles and all people. He wants all people to know Him and have a relationship with Him. It really shows how much tension there was between the Jews and Gentiles when you think about how Cornelius was a God-fearer (Acts 10:2) which, as you suggested, he could very well have been ...

   Sep 15, 2013 · One of the basic assumptions most Christian have about Jews in the first century is that they kept separate from the Gentiles. Josephus said that Jews “did not come into contact with other people because of their separateness” (Antiq. 13:245-247; Apion, 2.210).

   May 13, 2021 · This is because in Acts 1 Jesus told them to go "to the limits of the land" not "the whole world" as some translations wrongly translate it. Paul was "severed" from the Circumcision to go to the gentiles with Barnabus in Acts 13:1,2. He went with a different message to a different audience.

   Oct 11, 2011 · The story is found in Acts 10. Let’s look at it in the (new to Bible Gateway!) J.B. Phillips New Testament. It begins with Cornelius receiving a message from an angel of God: There was a man in Caesarea by the name of Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment.

   Feb 2, 2010 · The speech of James in Acts 15.13–21 plays a key role in Luke's account of the Council of Jerusalem (and therefore in his whole account of the origins of the Gentile mission).

   Why do we turn to the Gentiles?

   • Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. 47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us: “‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’” Acts 14:1 At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue.

   How does Paul teach the Gentiles?

   • As noted in the OP, we see this pattern repeatedly from Paul. He'll start by teaching in the synagogue; he will usually be rejected, and then turn his attention to the Gentiles in that city. This pattern is acknowledged by Paul in Acts 13:46, as noted in the OP:

   Why did the Jews keep separate from the Gentiles?

   • Josephus tells us that the Jews kept separate from the Gentiles: “ [the Jews]…did not come into contact with other people because of their separateness.” (Antiq. 13:245-247; cf., Apion, 2.210) Witherington (Acts, 353) observes that the Greek word Luke chooses here probably has the sense of “taboo” or “strongly frowned upon.”

   Did God accept the Gentiles?

   • During the council, Peter asserts that God has accepted the Gentiles and that they should not be burdened with the Law of Moses. James, the leader of the Jerusalem Church, agrees and suggests writing a letter to the Gentiles asking them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from meat of strangled animals, and from blood.

   Why does Paul say he will go to the Gentiles?

   • In a couple of places, he actually says he is done with the jews and will go to the gentiles, but when he goes to the next city he repeats the process. He was told by Jesus to go to the gentiles, the Jerusalem church & Paul agree that he will focus on gentiles, so why this pattern. Is there more to this pattern?

   Did Peter bring the Gospel to the Gentiles?

   • Exploring the context of this account has led us back to the story of Peter bringing the Gospel to the Gentiles in the book of Acts. If it’s been a while since you’ve read about Peter’s experience, it’s well worth revisiting. Peter’s vision and subsequent meeting with Cornelius mark a pivotal moment in the story of the Gospel.
