-
trying to get Gentiles to understand,no you don't,
-
you're not supposed to keep the Jewish law if you're a Gentile,
-
Jesus absolves you from keeping the Jewish law,
-
Matthew's not that way.
-
He sees Gentiles coming into the church but still being Torah observant.
-
He has a Torah observant form of Christianity,
-
with Jesus as the recognized Messiah.
-
Gentiles are included in Israel,
-
they're not included as a separate church,
-
Gentiles are brought into Israel, it looks like for Matthew,
-
and Matthew presents a church that is in conflict with
-
other forms of Judaism.
