Absolutely WRONG -

Point 1 of Bible Doctrine Righty Dividing the Word of Truth - The 12 Apostles (which does NOT include Paul) had their commission provided to them by Christ Jesus and established them to preach exclusively to the Jews - circumcision - with some notable exceptions in the book of Acts.

Point 2 of Bible Doctrine Righty Dividing the Word of Truth - The Apostle Paul had received his commission of reconciliation of God for sinners and when Paul went to Galatia he meet with the original 12 Apostles (from Jerusalem) and Paul had been given the right hands of fellowship by these Apostles that Paul should go unto the heathen - Gentiles, un-circumcision - and that they - the 12 Apostles - should go unto the circumcision - Jews.

Please read Galatians 2:6-9 and you will SEE if you have eyes to SEE, that the Bible doctrines for this Biblical answer is provided by GOD's hand in His Word in the Bible.

Galatians 2:6: But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:

Galatians 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;

Galatians 2:8: (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)

Galatians 2:9: And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

Galatians clearly makes it obvious that Peter - Cephas - and the 12 Apostles great commission was primarily to the Jews; and the Paul was exclusively to the Gentiles, heathen, un-circumcision, in Paul's ministry of reconciliation. The Bible has NO CLEARER explanation than this; it cannot be missed unless the reader is blind to these truths.

Absolutely wrong -

point 1 - Jesus told the disciples to go “make disciples of all nations” in Matthew 28. were “all nations” exclusively Jewish?
and if they were to only go the Jews, how can there be any exceptions? you can’t be a little pregnant, or does it depend on the meaning of the word “exclusive”?

point 2 - the fact that Paul’s main mission was to the Gentiles and the others to the Jews, does not mean Paul didn’t try and convert Jews and Peter didn’t preach in Rome.
in any event, their message of salvation through faith in Christ was THE SAME, whether to Jew or Greek.
there was not a seperate message to the Jews on how to be saved different then the Greeks. all are ONE IN CHRIST.

There are none so blind as those who WILL NOT see.
