[Conservative til I die]

When Paul came on the scene and the Gospel began to be presented to the Gentiles, he overshadowed Peter and he became the primary Apostle.

Paul had a different mission. But that doesn't mean he had more authority than Peter. Paul was an evangelist and preacher, whereas Peter was an authority and a leader.

[Uncle Chip]

Peter had authority in Jerusalem to the Jews, but Paul had authority regarding the Gospel to the Gentiles. Did not Paul rebuke Peter at one point on this issue and Peter backed down? Who had more authority in that case: Peter or Paul? Who did the Gentile Churches consider their authority in the NT? Peter or Paul?

"Paul was an evangelist and preacher, whereas Peter was an authority and a leader."

And what's the difference?
