What the scripture tells (Gal. 2, Acts 10f) us is that it was established by St. Peter and possibly in congress with James and John, who, of course, were all lead by the Holy ghost in all they did. The impetus to go to the Gentiles originated from Jesus at the parable of the guests at the wedding and the workers at the vinyard; it was given the natural apostles as the Great Commission, but St. Paul had to be adopted into the apostolic college and be given the mission at that later time.
You stated earlier that Paul's commission was handed out by Peter...This was to show Peter's primacy...As you'll notice in the next verse, both apostles commission was given from someone else...And of course it would be from God...Not Peter...
Gal 2:7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
that the scripture tells (Gal. 2, Acts 10f) us is that it was established by St. Peter and possibly in congress with James and John, who, of course, were all lead by the Holy ghost in all they did.
I don't see biblically where any of it was established by Peter...Peter did not establish ministering to the first Gentile...Peter didn't even know why he was ordered to go to the Gentile...
The Great Commission had nothing to do with Gentiles...When THAT commission was given, salvation was of the Jews. John 4:22...
When Peter had the experience with the Gentile in Acts 10, it was part of the 'transition'...Acts is the book of transition...Lots of things changed from the Gospels to Romans in the book of Acts...
but St. Paul had to be adopted into the apostolic college and be given the mission at that later time.
Paul didn't have to do any such thing...Paul was in the mission field for 3 years before he set his eyes on another apostle...And Paul had already received the commission from God before he knew what Peter looked like...Paul was already preaching to the Gentiles when this meeting took place in Gal. chapter 2...
The Great Commission is to evangelize the world, given all the natural apostles by Christ. I am referring to the last chapter of the synoptic gospels. So, I have no argument with that. However, the fact remains that Paul had to establish his credentials and he edscribes how he got them and from whom, in Galatians 2:9.
The Great Commission had nothing to do with Gentiles
Please. I bolded the references to the gentiles.
Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Mt 28:19)Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15)
penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. (Luke 24:47)
When Peter had the experience with the Gentile in Acts 10, it was part of the 'transition'
What "transition"? Is it in the scripture or not? Peter baptized the first gentile, Cornelius. Peter received the vision the the whole Creation is clean. Peter, James and John decided that Peter would breach to the Jews and Paul to the Gentiles. So, it is incorrect to say that Peter has a limited commission or had nothing to do with the Gentiles.
