No, here James is agreeing with, and publicly supporting, Peter.

Bible needs to viewed in context as scripture does not contradict scripture. It is clear that many protestants reject tradition and that is why they get confused and take verses out of context. They simply don’t have the context that the Catholic Church has.

Peter has primacy. Peter was given the keys - not James.

By the way, who determined what was in the New Testament? Oh yeah - the Traditions of the Catholic Church.

Actually, most of the churches already knew what the Scriptures were. The Latin only added James, 2Peter, 2&3 John, Jude and Revelation.

The Greek church wanted HEBREWS, which the Latin church did not want. And the Latin Church wanted Revelation which the Greek Church did not want, so they compromised and put both in.

Hebrews is one of the best books on Jesus and his ministry.

So, why did Peter have to rehearse the things that went on when he left Cornelius because the church at Jerusalem called him on the carpet?

And why did PETER fear those who came from James when he ate with the gentile church at Antioch? This is when PAUL called him on the carpet.

Sounds like Peter had the keys but James had the power.
