"Paul's gospel revealed a new creature, in which there is neither Jew or Gentile. Galatians 3:28 Galatians 6:15"
I had a college roommate who is a believing in Christ Jew and his brothers, were all believers. not his parents though.

They considered themselves part of the body of Christ.

Yes, both believing Jews and believing Gentiles have their place in the body of Christ, and the body is not divided, but one, there is one body, one faith, one baptism, one Lord. one God, we who believe are all of one.


Ephesians 4
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in [c]you all.


Romans 9, both Jew and Gentile God has called into one faith in Christ

22 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, 24 even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?


Romans 12:5
so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.

Hebrews 2

Bringing Many Sons to Glory​

10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both He who [g]sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 saying:

“I will declare Your name to My brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.”
13 And again:

“I will put My trust in Him.”
And again:

“Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”

Unity and Diversity in One Body​

12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink [g]into one Spirit. 14 For in fact the body is not one member but many.

15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? 18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. 19 And if they were all one member, where would the body be?

20 But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. 23 And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, 24 but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, 25 that there should be no [h]schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. 28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But earnestly desire the [i]best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.

Paul was all in, and took his calling so serious he was glady willing to die for it and made it personal by calling it his gospel.

The Gospel is the Doctrine of Christ, aka the Gospel of the Kingdom that Jesus commanded the Apostles to take to the entire world (Matthew 28:20). Jesus did not contradict Himself in telling the Apostles to take the Gospel of the Kingdom to the entire world and then turn around and bring Paul on and give Paul a totally different gospel than what He gave the other Apostles before Paul.

Luke 16:16
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

The Gospel of the Kingdom of God started being taught and preached with John the Baptist which is when the old testament law stopped being taught to mankind by the Lord. Paul did not contradict Jesus. If he did then that would make him a servant of satan who stands in opposition to Jesus which is not the case according to Paul himself when he made this statement:

1 Timothy 6:3-5
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

If Paul was not accepting, consenting to and teaching the words of Jesus, then Paul is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, of envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputings of a corrupt mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness and as such we must turn away from Paul.

No, Paul was not teaching a different Gospel than what Jesus was teaching.

No, Jesus continued His teaching ministry after He ascended back to Heaven thru the Holy Spirit thru all the New Testament writers not just Paul. After men were able to get born again and filled with the Spirit, Jesus was then able to teach (thru all the New Testament writers) those things He told His disciples they could not hear while Jesus was still with them (John 16:12) because it's the Holy Spirit who will reveal these deeper things to each person individually (John 16:7)

Those claiming Paul taught a different gospel and we should only follow Paul must also acknowledge that all other New Testament writers must be excluded and ignored if they are to actually believe their own false doctrine

I'm glad we got this all cleared up.

1 Thessalonians 2
About the unbelieving Jews, they treated the church with contempt and hatred, and killed Christians, as did Paul before his conversion.
Stephen was martyred by them.
They fully lived up to having Satan as their father just as Jesus told them.
You must be born again of God, and have God as your Father in order to believe and belong to Christ.
I am glad God did that with Paul.
Jewish Christians are a part of the church.

There were Jewish churches of Jewish believers in Judea.

13 For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe. 14 For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans, 15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are [d]contrary to all men, 16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.
