It was universally understood this way during the years of Paul's ministry.
I wonder if we have gone too far, in our times, with the separation. Failing to remember the debate allows us (perhaps even causes us) to move into an us-them way of viewing Jewish brothers and sisters.
There is something unique and precious about the revelation of Jesus. And, as I wrote yesterday, we are to pay attention to fine lines which distinguish differing theologies, but the other side of this is to remember all that we share. There may be points which pull us into our corner, but the center of the ring is where the action occurs.
