How did the Jews treat gentiles in the time of jesus?

The role of the gentiles was a pretty messed up job. From my research, THey were basically pedophiles, Jesus did not like their role and personally, I don't think anyone nowadays would either. So even though the bible doesn't mention about the fact that normal peasants would be sexually bothered and in some rare cases, raped to death, The Gentiles are a very bad religion.


If Jesus commanded his Apostles not to preach to the Gentiles and later commanded Paul to preach to the Gentiles isn't Jesus contradicting himself?

No, there is no contradiction. Jesus' initial instruction to the Apostles was specific to their mission at that time, focused on the people of Israel. The command to Paul to preach to the Gentiles came later as part of the broader plan to spread the Gospel to all nations. This shows the progression and expansion of the mission rather than a contradiction.


Why only in the New Testament the salvation was extended to the gentiles?

God has His times and seasons. Actually there were a few Gentiles that received salvation in the Old Testament. Rahab in the Book of Joshua was one and Ruth in the Book of Ruth was another. There were more, but this was the exception to the rule. During Jesus' time on earth more Gentiles are mentioned and then finally when the Jewish people rejected Jesus as the Messiah it was time for the Gentile to be accepted by God on a different basis, although Salvation has always come by faith in God, God created a time when mostly Gentiles could come to Him freely and in great numbers. Salvation to the Gentiles was mentioned in the Old Testament a number of times, but the timing was God's.

Who first to preach to the Gentiles?

That was Saint Paul, who believed that God had given him the authority to be an apostle even though he was not one of the original 12 and had never known Jesus. Saint Paul believed that the message of Jesus was for all people, so he converted Gentiles into the Christian community. This angered some Palestinian Christians.Paul the Apostle was known as the 'Apostle to the Gentiles.' He undertook a number of missionary journeys in which he preached to the gentiles.
