I suppose you already know I agree with you 100%. The collision between Jew and Gentile was one of the most central issues of the first century Church, and the single most important issue that we in the modern Church have missed. Ironically, this is because, although there have been flare-ups and non-starter sects such as the Ebionites, the question was in principle settled once and for all by the Day of the Lord of AD 70 when God cut off Judaism at the knees by destroying the temple and scattering the Jews and their lineage abroad. God took that off the front page of the Christian life and moved it to the obituaries, so we miss it unless we read Scripture like we're supposed to: in its original context. Not trying to self-promote (as though I'm getting paid for this!), but I would think anyone intrigued by Josh's excellent summary might want to read my Election and Adoption series , as well as "Jeremiah and the Potter " and "New Perspective ".
