I decided not to derail the other thread, so I'm posting this here.

That is something that was said ex cathedra, right? Unless "promulgation of the Gospel" is being defined oddly here, then there is a contradiction between Pope Eugene IV and the Bible.
Galatians 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
Galatians 6:15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation.
Paul even circumcised Timothy.
Acts 16:1 Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where a disciple named Timothy lived, whose mother was Jewish and a believer but whose father was a Greek. 2 The believers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him. 3 Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, so he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
How could the Gospel have not been promulgated before Paul converted?
promulgate
[prom-uh l-geyt, proh-muhl-geyt]
Spell Syllables
Synonyms Examples Word Origin
verb (used with object), promulgated, promulgating.
1.
to make known by open declaration; publish; proclaim formally or put into operation (a law, decree of a court, etc.).
2.
to set forth or teach publicly (a creed, doctrine, etc.).
All of those things happened before Paul came on the scene. Like Sparko asked hypothetically, I ask for real. Which wins, the Bible, or the Pope?
