Paul was indeed the apostle to the Gentiles, but Acts gives ample evidence that Jews were included among those whom he reached with his gospel.

Aloha brother Tim,
I'm sorry also - that you cannot see that the Apostle Peter's "message" (appeal) was exclusively to the
WHOLE NATION of
ISRAEL {i.e. "Ye men of Israel" & "
ALL the house of Israel"}.
And Paul's "message" (appeal) which was to INDIVIDUALS (Jews & Gentiles)
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
There's a huge difference between addressing a whole nation and addressing an individual (whether they be Jews or Gentiles). And that is the "difference" between preaching "the gospel of the kingdom" and the preaching of the "gospel of the grace of God."
