I read somewhere that Jesus mentioned/insisted his teachings were not meant for gentiles. Would anybody please care to corroborate and/or elaborate...

Thank you in advance.
 
People can post that vampires are real also, and
that they are in the Bible, but it doesn't mean it is true.
Did they post a verse where Jesus actually said His
teachings weren't for Gentiles?

2 Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

"You will see from any comments that are made that Christianity is an internal contradiction and no explanations can get around these statements:

Matt. 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter you not:

Matt. 15:24 "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel"

John 4:22 "Salvation is of the Jews""

"You will see from any comments that are made that Christianity is an internal contradiction and no explanations can get around these statements:

Matt. 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter you not: The disciples are instructed to avoid Gentiles and Samaritans. Instead, they are to go to "the
lost sheep of the house of Israel" (v. 6). As the parallel with Gentiles and Samaritans shows, this phrase means not certain Jews within Israel, but Israel as a whole: the lost sheep are the house of Israel. For now,Jesus and his apostles focus on Jews. The whole of Matt. makes it plain that the evangelizing of Jews paves the way for an outreach to Gentiles (28:19).


Matt. 15:24 "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel" I feel that verse is the same as the sick needing a doctor,
and not the healthy.


John 4:22 "Salvation is of the Jews""
Worship is linked to salvation. This is the most profound truth we can learn about worship. Only those who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior can truly offer worship that is pleasing to God. Remember at this point the Samaritan woman did not recognize Jesus as her Lord and Savior so her worship was in ignorance.

Perplexed by Jesus’ reply, “The woman said, "I know that Messiah" (called Christ) "is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us." Then Jesus declared, "I who speak to you am he." (John 4:25-26). Jesus reveals himself to her. Amazed at his answers she runs back to her village to tell everyone she has found the Messiah. The whole village returns and urges Jesus to stay with them.
 
Mat 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.


Jesus came first to the Jews. They are His chosen people after all and were offered the Gospel before the gentiles.


Luk 24:46-47 Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, (47) and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.


But we know Jesus always intended to bring the Gospel to the gentiles.

Joh 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.


This ministry became most evident when He sent the disciples to witness to everyone.


Mar 16:15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.


We can see in the OT prophecy of the Gospel being presented to the gentiles.

Isa 42:6-7 "I, the LORD, have called You in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the Gentiles, (7) To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the prison, Those who sit in darkness from the prison house.

Isa 56:7-8 Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar; For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations." (8) The Lord GOD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, "Yet I will gather to him Others besides those who are gathered to him."


Jesus going to the Jews first was a matter of timing and to fulfill prophecy.
