Jesus said, “ Follow Paul”.......Jesus said Of Paul,”He is my Chosen Vessel”....... Peter had been a Christian for years , a Leader in the Church, yet he was still making Huge Blunders , long after Jesus went back To Heaven— like when he was being a Sinful Hypocrite and had to be “ called out” by Paul , because he would not eat with Gentiles when visiting Jews were around .......Peter himself testified that Paul’s writing were Scriptural —- even though for him, “ they were hard to understand....Peter knew who the wiser teacher was.....and in NO WAY is this a means as an insult to Peter .....After all, it was Peter that walked on water, not Paul.....Both were great men of Faith — and the Glory goes to God in regard to BOTH of them....
