Now do what I said and put it into proper context. Jesus himself says he was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and sent all of the Apostles to these Gentile nations.
You have a simple choice. Believe Jesus and the root, which is ethnos, or you can believe Jesus is wrong.
Lol, sorry I wasn’t aware you had a particular instance in mind.
Keep in mind, Gentile is a transliteration through at least three languages.
Ethnos means a people of common language, history, culture, and religion. Gentile literally translates as, "the nations." The nations of what or whom? The root and the biblical usage of it is extremely clear. Sadly, the word is often used when inappropriate.
What they are really saying is Gentile means the lost tribes of Israel but also infers all of the tribes descended from them. Meaning the Greeks, Romans, and so on...
In which instance?
