:Exegesis of Paul's letter to the Romans; Ignatius' letter to the Magnesians; the later commentary by Justin Martyr in his Dialogue with Trypho; the later writings by Origen of Alexandria, etc. Besides, if there were no problems with the gentile church accepting Jewish believers back, why would Paul go to all that trouble writing in the first place..?

::Paul's writings are usually not taken to mean what you seem to be applying to them.  Where do you feel he is putting a rift between Jewish believers in Christ?  Paul was Jewish; the Disciples were Jewish.  Their big meetings dealt with whether or not gentiles could even become part of the body of Christ without first undergoing Jewish conversion through circumcision.  This is a very bold claim of a historical occurrence.  A very specific claim is going to need very specific references that attest to its veracity.

:::Tommy-rot. Paul's Letter to the Romans is widely studied, multitudes of commentaries are available, and I doubt you will find many commentaries that interpret it as anything other than an attempt to heal a rift between the two branches of the church.
