Question

6. How did the Scriptures shed light on the discussion?Through the prophet Amos, Jehovah foretold that the time would come when He would raise up “the booth of David,” that is, the royal line leading to the Messianic Kingdom. (Ezek. 21:26, 27) Would Jehovah once again deal exclusively with fleshly Jews as a nation? No. The prophecy adds that “people of all the nations” would be brought together as “people who are called by [God’s] name.” Remember, Peter had just testified that God “made no distinction at all between us [Jewish Christians] and them [Gentile believers], but purified their hearts by faith.” (Acts 15:9) In other words, it is God’s will that Jews and Gentiles alike be brought into the Kingdom as heirs. (Rom. 8:17; Eph. 2:17-19) Nowhere did such inspired prophecies suggest that the Gentile believers must first be circumcised in the flesh or become proselytes.

Make a very short comment, and understandable use the JW bible

Answer 1

The Scriptures highlight that God's purpose includes people of all nations, not just the Jews. Through Amos, it's foretold that the Messianic Kingdom would unite both Jews and Gentiles as God's people. Peter's testimony in Acts confirms that faith is what purifies the hearts of all believers, emphasizing that there are no distinctions between Jewish and Gentile Christians. This supports the understanding that all can inherit the Kingdom without needing to follow Jewish customs like circumcision.
