HA HA HA HA
Paul did not "go to get their approval". HA HA HA HA
That is a bogus and silly story.
Your official position is, PAUL was a liar? Brilliant. I mean simply brilliant. You are M.A.D. theologian and Paul is a liar. Hehehehehe I don't even know what to say....
Gal 2: The Council at Jerusalem
1 Then after an interval of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also. 2 It was because of a revelation that I went up; and I submitted to them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but I did so in private to those who were of reputation, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain. 3 But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. 4 But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage. 5 But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you. 6 B
ut from those who were of high reputation (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)—well, those who were of reputation contributed nothing to me. 7 But on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been fnto the circumcised 8 (for He who effectually worked for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles), 9 and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. 10 They only asked us to remember the poor—the very thing I also was eager to do.
Peter (Cephas) Opposed by Paul
11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For prior to the coming of certain men from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to withdraw and hold himself aloof, fearing the party of the circumcision.
Absolute hogwash.
The Lord Jesus Christ sent Paul BY REVELATION to communicate "THAT GOSPEL which I preach among the Gentiles".
Show me where it says the Lord Jesus the Christ sent Paul to them. It appears to be missing in all of my Bibles. I only have about 200 different translations in LOGOS. Not a one supports your additional language inserted for..... personal credibility?
[/INDENT]They ADDED NOTHING to Paul,
AND THEY DID NOT DISCUSS BEEF OR LAMB EITHER, which has as much to do with my claims as the quote directly above this hyperbolic example did. I never claimed they added anything to it.
BUT CONTRAIWISE (that means the opposite) Paul ADDED SOMETHING to them.
Show me the part where Paul added something to them. Do you mean that he was focused on the Gentiles? We know they Jews were already speaking to Gentiles at this point, no? They simply hadn't drawn them out and focused on them as Paul was.
LOL, it was a bit MORE than acceptable. Even Peter says that Paul's writings are "speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood".
Yes, I think I have alluded to this verse numerous times. So the PILLARS OF THE FAITH approved of Paul's message of the GOSPEL MESSAGE. Paul simply gave it to the Gentiles.
So what is the difference in the Gospel message in your mind? If the Pillars and Peter agreed with it, how is it different?
It's only different because in your mind you need it to be.
Why would Peter say this about Paul's writings if they were the EXACT SAME thing that THEY were teaching.
Because Peter was a very simple man, and Paul was a professionally trained Orator from the Aristotlean colleges of his day. It's recorded his mentor was Gamaliel, and it's recorded that Gamaliel was taught in Aristotlean college. He taught Paul what he had learned.
It looks like you're talking about yourself!
Does it?
it looks to me like you can't see straight in the conversation period, so what you see/ Look's like, is of small consequence to me.
