The Gospel is the same.
Gal.1: 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any bother gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

Paul was a very learned man he prayed and studied for about three years after he was converted. ( Acts 15: 1-2 Some men came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the brothers: "Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved."
2. This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.) ( Acts 15:11. No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.") That we have to get our hearts right with God. God used him to take the gospel to the gentiles. He suffered very much for the gospel sake. He reached many people for Jesus and he wrote a lot of the new testament. Peace and God bless

The Jews were reluctant to give up Judaism, and it was a religion that was very exclusive. The Jews regarded non Jews as unclean, so most would not have much to do with people of other faiths.
Paul's message was inclusive to everyone, that we are saved by faith, not by works. He was chosen because of his intellectual ability, he could speak several languages including Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.
Paul was the biggest persecutor of the Church before he got saved himself. Paul used to arrest Jews who followed the teachings of Jesus, he was present when Stephen was executed for preaching the gospel. Paul knew if Christ could forgive him for seeing other Christians executed, then certainly he could forgive the Gentiles. That fire that was set in him made him the greatest evangelist of all time.

initially, Christians have self assurance in Pauls concept of God as 3 beings. that is referred to as the holy trinity, God the father, Jesus his son, and the holy ghost. Paul wasn't Jesus' diciple yet neither have been Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John. All 4 writers of the Gosples interior the hot testomony. And your missstating Pauls concept that Christianity is open to Jews and Gentiles. you're attempting to advise Christians have not got self assurance that, whilst in actuality we do.

St. Paul's message was basically the same; just from a different viewpoint. Remember that he was an extremely scholarly theologian and philosopher, so some of his writings can be misinterpreted if taken out of context. Even St. Peter mentioned this issue with St. Paul's writings:
"And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation; as also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you:
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction"

Jesus sent his message loud and clear to both Jews and Samaritans.
Jesus's mission was to reveal the true God to the Jewish people. At the time Jesus had interactions with the Jewish leaders, the leaders had made up over 600 laws for the people making it nearly impossible for them to live "godly" lives according to the Pharisees. Jesus tried to teach the people the simplicity of following God.
Jesus also had interactions with the Samaritans (non-Jews) and taught them as well. Samples are, Luke 17:16
Jesus cleaned one man of 10, of his leprosy. This man was
healed and not the others because of his faith in Jesus. The man called him Messiah.
In John 4:7, Jesus spoke to the woman at the well and taught her a little bit about God as well.
Jesus also used the Samaritans as examples in his parables
such as in Luke 10:25 (the story of the good Samaritan)
You see, the non Jews didn't have the chip on their shoulders as the Jews did regarding God. The Jews had the burden of all the frivolous laws the Pharisees stacked on them and they found it harder to worship God for all of the rules.
Jesus tried to relieve them of that burden, teaching them the truth of God
It is all in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
A view of Jesus from four different men who lived with Jesus for three years.
In addition, James his brother wrote about him.
Paul met Jesus after the ressurection.
The New Testament is written by the men who knew Jesus, and either traveled and lived with Him, or met him and spoke to him.
They gave their personal testamonies regarding the Son of God..and what they were taught by him..

Paul did not preach what the 12 Apostles preached. Rather he went up to Jerusalem to TELL THEM of the special gospel of grace that Christ gave to him (Gal. 2:2). He preached Jesus Christ according to the REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY which was kept secret, hid in God (Rom. 16:25; Eph. 3:9). He was the Apostle to the Gentiles and magnified his office (Rom. 11:13).

Well, Paul met Jesus himself on the way to Damascus. Read his story of conversion, then you'll see that he was a follower of Christ, he did not only preach to non-Jews but also to Jews. Either way, the message was the same, don't matter who taught who.

1.The message is not different but the letters to the churches were written to specific audiences/individuals. Jews had extensive teaching regarding their faith, while many Gentiles did not.
2.Delegation.

"22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan (note - gentile) came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel."(Matt 15:22-24)
Jesus was fulfilling prophecy, ie (Dan 9:24)
"24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."
This whole time period (see Dan 9:25 and on) and the associated prophecy pointed to the first coming of the anointed (messia) (Jesus was anointed by Holy Spirit at His baptism) and His mission to God's people, the Jews. 70 weeks of days w/a day in prophecy = 1 year therefor 70 wks x7 days in wk=490 years - appointed for the Jews. Jesus was cut off (died) in the middle of the 70th wk, leaving 3.5 yrs still remaining for the Jews to accept Jesus as their messia. The remaining 3.5 yr, ending the 490 yrs, concluded with the stoning of Stephen (Acts Ch 6:8 - Ch 7). From that point onward the Gospel went to the gentiles!
The Gospel is the message that Jesus, thru His disciples and now thru us, goes to the whole world. If you want to study this subject and many others in depth, see source below!
God bless you as you seek God with the whole heart!

You do not put new wine in old wine skins lest they break & destroy the wine but you must use new wineskins. The Jews were indoctrinated to the law of Moses & Jesus brought us the covenent of grace which the Jew would not recieve. And they proved by nailing Him to the cross.
