There is something to ponder in regard to Galatians.
[Galatians 2:1 KJV] "Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with [me] also."
[Galatians 2:2 KJV] "And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain."..........Paul went to Jerusalem and met with the apostles of the Jerusalem church. Paul didn't determine to communicate his gospel to the apostles on his own, he went by the revelation of Christ to do so.
[Galatians 2:7 KJV] "But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as [the gospel] of the circumcision [was] unto Peter;"..........The apostles recognized that Paul was given a gospel that differed from theirs.
[Galatians 2:8 KJV] "(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)"..........they also acknowledged that Paul was given a distinct apostleship.
[Galatians 2:9 KJV] "And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we [should go] unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision."............Jesus commanded the apostles to go to the world and preach the gospel........[Mark 16:15 KJV] "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."..........Peter and the apostles relinquished their command to go to every creature, which included Gentiles, and determined to go to the Jews only. Did this open the door for Paul to preach his gospel farther among the Gentiles? If Peter and the disciples did go into all the world, then the areas where the twelve preached the gospel would be off limits to Paul. Paul only preached where Jesus was not named......[Romans 15:20 KJV] "Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:"
