>>8215171So let's go with the whole neither Judean or Gentile canard. What does Gentile mean ?
"The words Gens and Gentiles have a special meaning in the system of the Roman law and in the Roman constitution.
This is the official Roman definition of gentile by Festus:—
"That is called Gens Aelia which is composed (conficitur) of many familiae.
Gentilis is both one who is of the same stock (genus), and one who is called by the same name (simili nomine),
1 as Cincius says, those are my gentiles who are called by my name."
SAME family. SAME race.
SAME family. SAME race
SAME family. SAME race
That's what Gentile means. It doesn't mean non-jew, or another race or another family.
The Greek word used in the NT is ethnos which means “race"
in fact in my 1966 Catholic bible it says race and not Gentile..
see the thread ?
