“I beg you brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I beg that all of you agree with each other, so that you will not be divided into groups.” (1 Corinthians 1:10, ICB) Pitting Paul against Peter (or against Jesus, and / or against the other apostles) does the very thing that Paul...

Harmonizing the teaching and preaching of Peter and Paul is what I would teach newbies.

The Council of Jerusalem is supported in scripture. It is the scripture support. Paul had his day with the Council. Paul didn’t tell the Council that he was preaching a different gospel. The Council didn’t tell Paul that he was teaching a different gospel. There is only one gospel. They were...

Acts 15:1-2 explains why the Council took place. They were sent there because there were questions and a decision by the other apostles and elders was required to settle it. Luke provides a broad account of what took place in the meeting. The Council didn’t decide that Paul was teaching a...

They served you well in that regard. That’s commendable. Since you’ve become a Christian, I don’t understand why a request to change your registration from “Agnostic” to “Christian” would be denied. Only a moderator or administrator could answer that. You might want to consider closing your...

What Paul said in his circumstance is also true of what the other apostles did and experienced in their respective circumstances. Just because the others didn’t say it in their preserved writings (we don’t even have preserved writings for most of the apostles) doesn’t warrant jumping to the...

Ancient Christian historians tell us that he (and the others) literally went outside of Jerusalem. What I was suggesting is that even if we choose to close our eyes to them, writing a message to someone is going to someone with the message.

There is only one gospel and its origin is God. Any other so-called “gospel” is not from God but from man. ”Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin.” (Galatians 1:11, NET) Jesus and the other apostles preached the same gospel. Paul isn’t...
