It's a shame, if you did I probably wouldn't have to be rehashing this with you all over again; you've a very short memory...,
Again, I repeat myself because of your stubbornness, this does not change this fact:
24 But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Mt 15
...or this one:
8 For I say that Christ hath been made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given unto the fathers, Ro 15
Gill:
"...“I am not sent, but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel; as a priest, or as a Saviour and Redeemer, he was sent to make satisfaction and atonement for the sins of all God's elect, and to obtain eternal redemption and salvation for all of them, whether Jews or Gentiles; but as a prophet, in the discharge of his own personal ministry, he was sent by his Father only to the Jews; he was the "minister of the circumcision", Romans 15:8 that is, a minister to the circumcised Jews…..”
I know that you Reformed types have a really difficult time thinking outside your Reformed box, but, have you ever thought what the distinction between these two might be?:
7 but contrariwise, when they saw that I had been intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the gospel of the circumcision Gal 2
Is our theology derived mainly from the Gospels or Epistles then?

Also read Matthew 8:8-13 and explain to me why the Lord Jesus healed a Roman Centurion's servant There is no indication that the servant was Jewish.
Jesus Christ is Prophet, Priest and King over the whole world. '...Is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith' (Romans 3:29-30).
Now you need to answer my points from my last post. What was our Lord doing in 'the region of Tyre and Sidon'? This is by no means in Israel.
Also, He visited the Decapolis, or the area of the Gadarenes, where the inhabitants herd pigs - not very Jewish - in order to heal a demoniac (Mark 5:1-20). He also comes to Samaria, hated by the Jews, to bring salvation to a woman of doubtful reputation sitting by a well. What was He doing in these places?
And I want an answer to this question. Mark 1:15. 'Repent and believe the Gospel.' as a non-Jew, does this apply to me? If so, why?
There is one Gospel, and it is for everyone. -

If you have never read it, I recommend getting a copy Grasping God's Word by Duvall and Hayes. It is an excellent resource.

That said, perhaps you could provide an example of Scripture you think may not apply to us now for discussion. -
For the umpteenth time, the fact that Christ refused no one that came to Him in faith in no way negates His mission as 'a prophet like unto me', sent only to Israel.
