I’m glad I found these forgotten items.

And what did Paul state regarding Christians of Jewish background especially? (A statement considered by him to be compatible with his other statements that in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, etc.) Romans 3:1,2:
Once again clearly, Jewish Christians were stated to have a superior understanding of God, of His inspired revelation, of His purposes in general, and of His strategy for mankind's salvation in particular.
When all things Jewish were expunged from the early church by the dominant pagan faction, that knowledge and that understanding were unfortunately lost.
The good news is that, if people make the effort to find out what God actually revealed about Himself to Israel, as well as His purposes, the wages of sin, and how He would rescue mankind from that fate, the lost knowledge can be restored.
The bad news is, that if people find conflicts between what God has stated, and some teachings of their current church (Church X), then they will be faced with a serious, non-trivial decision.
(Therefore, it may be “safer” not to look.)
However, has any Reader of this thread actually taken the time to see what God revealed in the Hebrew Scriptures that He had penned, regarding death and rescue from death?
The apostle Paul obviously did. (Look carefully at what he actually wrote about it.)
