Who became the Apostle of the Gentiles after Israel rejected the crucifixion of Christ?
Paul became the Apostle of the Gentiles after Israel continued to reject the crucifixion of Christ. God raised him up as His spokesman for this period, and the Scriptures for believers are confined to Romans through Philemon, though Hebrews was written primarily to Jews.
Les teaches that through the crucifixion of Christ, Israel continued to reject it, and God then raised up the Apostle of the Gentiles, the Apostle Paul. Paul becomes the spokesman for God during this period of time. Les explains that everything from Genesis 1 up until the conversion of Saul of Tarsus is predominantly God dealing with Israel. He warns against claiming to do everything the Bible says, because not everything the Bible says is for us; much of it was written for the nation of Israel. What is for believers is confined to Romans through Hebrews, and since Hebrews is written primarily to Jews, Romans through Philemon. He uses Leviticus 5 as an example of passages not directed to us.
