> I started to question what was conveyed in Paul's ethnikws language when
noticing that zhs is in the present tense, but that when Paul is addressing
Peter, he is presently eating with Jews only, so it did not make sense as
commonly understood, and by you, for me. He should have written, "you were
living gentiley" before returning to "living Jewishly" if that was to be
clearly communicated, not you "are living gentiley."

I don't see that. Seems to me you are unduly restricting the implication of 
the tense. Greek present tense can convey a customary sense, no?
