Sorry, but the "we" in verse 15 & 16 is Paul & Peter. Galatians 2:14-16 ESV (14) But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I [Paul] said to Cephas [Peter] before them all, If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the...

Right. Verse 15 & 16 are all the same sentence, and Paul is speaking to Peter.

Read it again. The "we" in verse 15 & 16 are the same "we" (Peter & Paul). Both Peter & Paul know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the...

Why? Being saved IS having eternal life. Because some are reading into it what is not there. Perhaps you will believe Paul. Paul talking with Peter: Galatians 2:14-16 ESV (14) But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I [that would be Paul] said to...

I have on several occasions and even color-coded them differently in a post to differentiate between them. Israel's promise of a restored earthly kingdom is not the gospel of eternal life. I don't know how much clearer I can be be. The one's that don't read correctly can spit and sputter all...

Why on earth would you think I am removed when I believe it is only through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ that anyone could ever be saved unto eternal life?

I'm still in Soots. I'm still a lifetime member. I'm still in the Hall of Fame. Any mod can verify my IP. And you can PM me about the joke you and my son played on me. Or I can keep getting a chuckle of ya'll continuing to be delusional conspiracy nuts.

And yet Paul used OT scripture to show that what was not fully understood to them at the time was still very prophetic. That faithful believers of all the world (Jew & Gentile) would be Abraham's children that are justified by believing faith apart from works.

Continue to be an idiot if you wish.

There were both Jews and Gentiles that did not come to the Lord. I don't see that as God's fault, but you can if you want to.

Except that is not what I said.

I like him!

To blend in as Jew and Gentile and expound the scriptures to both since God has always wanted both to come to Him.

I have the WHOLE bible to draw conclusions. Paul was versed in Gentile and Jewish customs. He had claim as a Jew and a Roman citizen. He knew the scriptures well, and he knew the prophets taught the just shall live by faith, and he knew that works of the law never saved unto eternal life, and...

blah blah blah So? Absolutely. It was the prophets that said the just shall live by faith. it was the prophets that said God wanted mercy rather than sacrifices. etc. They certainly don't, because they search the scriptures. And the scriptures say Abraham was justified by faith without works...

God had to do a lot of thing with Peter to show him his error. But he accepted what God showed him. Peter accepted it again at the council of Jerusalem by acknowledging that no Jew or Gentile should be yoked with the law because even their own fathers could not successfully pull that load. Their...

The text does not indicate the ones raising or tending the swine were Israelites.

The prophets taught that it was God's instruction all along for Israelites to be a light unto the Gentiles.

No it's not. Is it Jews first in the new heaven and new earth? For the new heaven and new earth.
