RE NYT CHURCHMILITANT.COM ARTICLE
All this is fascinating.
They, ChurchMilitant.com, apparently claimed that the covenant with God was broken with the destruction of the Temple. Later Judaism was man made, they say.
Fair enough.
Then Christianity itself was largely man made too, by Paul, before the destruction of the Temple, and then man made embellished mostly after.
Question:
Why, then, was not the mission to the Gentiles, based as it certainly was, on that same covenant, also abrogated with the destruction of the Temple?
Do not say, Paul's message was not based on the Jewish covenant.
Do not say, the destruction of the Temple confirmed the later message of a new covenant in Jesus. That was after Paul. He claimed Jesus fulfilled the covenant made with Israel.
