Insisting on a Torah-observant lifestyle or favoring ethnic distinctions restores the walls of separation between Jewish and Gentile believers.
The Mosaic Law was intended to keep Israel distinct from the
surrounding Gentile nations. If the Church adopts the requirements of the Mosaic Law,
it will rebuild the “middle wall of partition” between Jewish
and Gentile believers, a wall removed by Jesus at great personal cost. The
Apostle Paul presented an alternative to the Law for defining and identifying
the single people of God - the “faith of Jesus Christ.”
