Thanks for your reply. I'm sure Peter was still wrestling with the dream God gave him about the sheet coming down with all those unclean animals. It was a real transitional time for everyone. "The Way" was a revolutionary concept [John 14:6] which Jesus taught his followers.
Thank you. I forgot about that dream. Is that the answer to my question?: Do you think Paul taught Peter anything when he opposed him to his face?

If it is the answer.....I don't understand it. :(

Paul didnt need the disciples His revelation was Jesus Christ, that what Jesus is building His church on that which is what reveals truth to us, that which we can only get from God,

Mat_16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

As Paul put ot

Gal 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
Gal 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

It is "supposed" to be by teh Spirit we are led, buyt men still prefer to follow after men
Thank you mrhealth

BTW.....Matthew 16:17 is about Peter, not Paul. The one (singular) revelation that Peter received was that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.

It has nothing to do with the revelations (plural) that Paul received.

I get your point though....Thank you.

IHS....Mary

@Marymog I agree with Angelina...
Peter was the apostle to the Jews, and Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles (Galatians 2:7). So, it was no small thing when these two men had a head-to-head confrontation in Antioch. :)
Paul records it in Galatians 2.

Being that Peter did not feel called to the gentiles he was obviously leaning still to 'works' motivation....I think Paul tried to share his revelation with Peter.. but Peter was who Peter was..strong and hot headed as shown in the Gospels.. I believe it was GOD who finally shared with Peter on that rooftop..that if God Himself had called the uncircumcised clean ,then they were clean...God showed Peter that day that it was by grace we are saved through faith and not of ourselves.
Peter finally 'got it' through the Spirit. Not so much from Paul.
Two great men. :)

That is my two cents.

Hi y'all I am slowly reading this thread and am finding it very interesting. @Marymog you said in Post 19 when replying to Wormwood ~ "The accusation WAS based on the aforementioned words that Paul said and Paul was taught by the Apostles." Yet he states in 1 Galatians 11-12 But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. As a matter of reference, he did not go up to Jerusalem as did the apostles until 3 years later to become acquainted with Cephas [Peter] and saw no-one else but James, the Lord's brother. Gal 1:15-18.

I do agree with this post, I basically rendered this point with Mary in post #82, and Kepha31 added his point in #88, and in post # 116 Mary expressed that I was off point from the theme of the O P, and I agreed, Mary also said that if we wanted to continue this line of study maybe I should start a thread to tackle this understanding. So I did! under WHO TAUGHT MOSES on this Forum,

I used Peter as a demo could have used

Gal_1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead)

Gal_1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Where does Scripture say that Peter finally 'got it' through the Spirit?? I'm not disagreeing with you...I just don't recall reading that.

PS....I wasn't sure what @Angelina answer was. I guess you understood it better than I. :(

Hi @Marymog Oh...you wanted an answer. Indisputably. I'm sure Peter was quite quite ashamed about the whole thing...

Thank you for the clarification.

I find it fascinating that scripture indicates that Paul taught Peter something but Peter didn't teach Paul anything. Peter, the man who knew Jesus and walked and talked with him was unable to teach Paul a man who only knew Jesus thru revelation(s).

Do you feel comfortable not doing what He told you (us) to do?

Well one day when you find Him you will discover He would rather have a walk with you than have you remembering Him.

Evil has no more power when all works(by God) are for our good. Then what is evil? Evil has been cast out. Is not all good by God for us?
well if "us" is "them that love God," yes. Iow the propensity to declare oneself a lover of God absent any evidence is not being addressed here, and assumptions are being invited, let's say?

Not meaning to change the subject tho, but imo what Scripture says about those who love God elsewhere would be a qualifier here, seems to me
I see the deceivers arm clean dried up of power over those that walk in the light.
sure, and i guess the ref (to a letter of the Hebrew alphabet that means "arm") kind of describes maybe some of the power that is dried up; can't move things, no abundance, even can't feed

i just posted that on the fly for whatever relevance it might provide, bc i read "arm," while looking for something else

Indeed. They were two distinct personalities. Which becomes clearer when reading some of their stories. That's probably why Jesus gave them those specific ministries and I am absolutely convinced that he knew them very well. :) Even their very hearts! Bless ya!

Dear mjrhealth,

If you answered me about you takeing communion....I don't see the answer. I suspect you don't. :(

I hope you do take communion because He did tell us to spend our days doing stuff....which is opposite of your statement:

And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water (something you do) because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”

Give (something you do) to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.

everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent (something you do which is a sinful act) has already committed adultery with her in his heart

Sell your possessions, and give to the needy (something you do)

He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me." (something you do)

Jesus also told us to do what he commanded and to put his words to practice:

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations (something you do), baptizing them (something you do) in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them (something you do) to observe all that I have commanded you.

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice (something you do) is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Is your house built on a rock? Do you do what he commanded????

IHS.....Mary
