1 | Jewish believers or not | 1 Pet 1:1 | Setonahill | 224482 | ||
According to Gal. 2:9 it was agreed that Peter would have his ministry to the Jews, while Paul's ministry would be to the gentiles. With this in mind, when Peter writes in 1 Pet.1 "to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia," Can we assume that he was writing to Jewish believers? Setonahill |

2 | Jewish believers or not | 1 Pet 1:1 | stjohn | 224483 | ||
Setonahill, I think it's very clear from the content of the first three verses that he is speaking to born again believers. Other than that, scripture doesn't say. I'd be very careful not to make assumptions about what scripture doesn't say. By the way their ministries where not exclusive to the two groups. One example in Act's is Paul preaching to jews in the temple. John |

stjohn When you say "born again believers" I fully understand that he was writing to believers that is the reason for the question. Just so there isn't any mistake or misunderstanding that could get out of hand. I was not making assumptions, I was asking a question. I am aware their ministries were not exclusive and that when Paul started his ministry he did go to the Jews, but there came a point in his ministry when he did not any longer. Your reference to Paul in acts what chapter was that? Setonahill |

Setonahill, don't get your back up friend, I wasn't accusing you of assuming, just admonishing not to. :-) You are the one who asked if we can assume, and I only gave you advice that it's not a good idea to make assumptions. And I reiterate that scripture does not say whether they were jews or not, so I don't know what else to give you to answer your question. And since you put me to task (Acts 13:14; 16:13; 17:2) John |
