The early church was Jewish, Jewish to the bone, and did not consider the large number of gentiles added to it over the years to be an obstacle to unity. It also saw no need for non-Jews to assume the obligations stipulated in the Torah, and the matter was settled. Revisiting this issue shows enormous disrespect for the saving work of the Messiah, apostolic authority, and God himself. The solution was never based on Judaizing the gentiles or gentilizing the Jews but on maintaining distinctions.
