I know Paul says Jesus sent him to the Gentiles.Paul didn't condemn Peter.
The confrontation wasn't about who would eat with whom...but moreso WHO would be SEEN eating with WHO...And BY WHOM would they be SEEN.
Circumcision of the Foreskin was a (long established MARK upon a Jew, specific TO Jews) that Established a SEPARATION, between Jews AND Gentile's.
Jesus Taught Circumcision of the Heart, and that Offering came from Jesus.
Remembering Jesus taught his Disciples, and they were tasked with Teaching the Jews....
Few by Few as the Disciples traveled about.
Paul was tasked with primarily teaching the Gentiles.
Not everyone Jew or Gentile had yet heard or had been taught Circumcision of the Heart.
Peter seemed to have no problem "unseen" by other Jews, to eat with Gentiles.
Peter did seem "unprepared" to Being in familiar company of Gentiles...when Jews showed up....Obviously Able to SEE Peter with Gentiles....and Peter wanted the Jews TO NOT SEE Peter consorting with Gentiles.
Paul IMO, held a higher Confidance, as exampled by Jesus (as Jesus Himself...was confronted by Jews challenging His consorting with Gentiles).
It was most likely an Embarrassment for Paul to call Peter out. Which IMO was a lesson for Peter to be Confidant in his beliefs, regardless of WHO is observing...as well as a Lesson to the Jews...and most importantly a lesson to the Gentiles,...of Paul's Teaching on Circumcision of the Heart, (NOT the foreskin), is the Circumcision Jesus offered to All men.

I don't think you are hearing me. I'm not going to speak against the Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ.evasion...................
were any apostles sinless ?
Sin and guilt are two different issues so quit conflating the two.I don't think you are hearing me. I'm not going to speak against the Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, if it suits you to just chalk that up to evasiveness, be my guest. It seems to suit you to lay sin and guilt at their feet. I'll discuss the doctrine all day long. But I'm not going to speak against the Lord's Apostles.
Much love!
Where am I doing that?Sin and guilt are two different issues so quit conflating the two.
All men sin, according to the Solomon. I wouldn't want to second-guess him!Is there anyone besides Jesus who was sinless since He walked this earth ?
Did all the Apostles sin?Sin and guilt are two different issues so quit conflating the two.
It was a simple request so now I'll make it even easier for you mark !

you said all men right ?Did all the Apostles sin?
Much love!
What do you say about: "Therefore you are to be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect..." (Matt. 5:28) and be holy as I am holy" 1 Peter 1:16Agreed and my point is even the Apostle Peter post Pentecost ( decade later ) needed correction for sin. This goes against the proponents of sinless perfectionism and they MUST make the plain reading of the text in Galatians 2 say something else to defend their heretical position regarding reaching the state of sinless perfection on this side of the Resurrection.
hope this helps !!!
No, I'm not changing what I'm saying.you said all men right ?
are you now reneging ?
I like to think in terms of, we can trust Jesus for our sanctification for the next two minutes, and when those minutes end, repeat.What do you say about: "Therefore you are to be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect..." (Matt. 5:28) and be holy as I am holy" 1 Peter 1:16
I think we have momenta of perfection.,when the Holy Spirit has prepared and guided us to do a specific task and we do it. It wirked, accomplished what was intended - it was perfect, it was holy. Then other times we do fleshly things that grieve the Holy Spirit.
"God causes all things to work for good ...", so we really can't take any credit for the good we do, without Him we can do nothing.
2 minutes ?I like to think in terms of, we can trust Jesus for our sanctification for the next two minutes, and when those minutes end, repeat.
It's arbitrary.only 2 minutes ?
why not 30 seconds ?
5 minutes ?
10 ?
why not 20 ?
an hour ?
a few hours ?
why not a week ?It's arbitrary.
The point is, we can.
To those who say we can't, I ask, can you for two minutes? Then you can.
Much love!
What makes you so convinced that Jesus didn't sanctify His Apostles, in the way we are talking about, when He commissioned them?Sin and guilt are two different issues so quit conflating the two.
It was a simple request so now I'll make it even easier for you mark !
Is there anyone besides Jesus who was sinless since He walked this earth ?
Now you're getting it!!why not a week ?
a month ?
6 months ?
1 year ?
5 years ?
define sanctification ?What makes you so convinced that Jesus didn't sanctify His Apostles, in the way we are talking about, when He commissioned them?
Just wondering.
Much love!
We are recreated new beings which are and remain righteous and holy. We live in the same corrupted flesh as we used to. But while we once had our life in flesh, now we have our life in the Spirit. Just like Jesus, we are the children of God living in flesh bodies. Except that Jesus is God and we're not, and our bodies are corrupted and His wasn't.define sanctification ?
are you saying its a one time act and not a process ?
