We are dealing with parable type information. Hidden in things that are not the ultimate reality.1. The Jews have no more advantage-
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
2. Paul is not speaking in meshalim.
What were you-Hassidic-Othodox-Ultra Orthodox?
In addition to ethnic diversity, modern Jewish adherents are divided into several different branches or sects. In North America, the four main branches include Orthodox, Reform, Conservative, and Reconstructionist. Orthodox Judaism is considered the most traditional form of modern Judaism.
My apologies for my curt replies.

Romans 3:1 kjv
1. What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
2. Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
We are joined together into one new man. Yes. Peter went to the Jews and Paul to the gentiles. Just as the Godheah is one yet different, so the body of Christ is.
Why a southern Baptist Jew. One that read so much Old Testament scripture first , that by the time he got to the New Testament ( he was Jewish). Not belonging to any Jewish group, but in belief. Then he/me had to see Jesus as messiah. In case that is in parable form. I was born and raised in a baptist home. I became legalistic in foods, dress (no mixed thread clothing, etc.
So at 12 I repented
At 24? I accepted Jesus
At 26 ? I was filled with the Holy Spirit (while drying my hair and reading
1 Corinthians 12.)
With those Years between the steps, I can see differences others do not. I made all the common mistakes.
Heart and mind are separated yet joined.
