Er… or the gospel as breaking down boundary markers that separate communities based on race, some cultural badges etc…

or the gospel as a critique of roman imperialism… cashed out in today’s terms, sometimes, rightly or wrongly, it seems that some had America replacing Rome as the superpower of today hehe

Thanks for sharing!<br/><br/>I definitely agree with you conclusions. What I found difficult to explain is "So what?" part. So what if the Jews were not as legalistic as we thought they were. So what if Paul's emphasis is not as much on how we receive salvation but rather on how we can tell we have it. Will it change the way we live or explain the gospel? I simply do not have satsifactory answers to these questions yet. Wow, you have put some serious work in there. Thanks for sharing!
