I don't know if you read scripture, but if you do, you certainly know that Paul was given the commission to preach to the Gentiles while Peter was restricted to the Jews...You know that, if you read the scriptures...

And yet, if you read Scriptures, you will note that Paul goes to the Jewish SYNAGOGUE to preach in the towns where he evangelizes at, while it is Peter who goes to Cornelius upon God's bidding to call the Gentiles into the Church? This commission was not absolute.

Regards

Well sure he did...But what happened to the converts he gathered??? You don't think they set up their Christian churches in Jewish synagogues, do you???

Act 20:17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.

You can bet there were no Christian elders in the Jewish Synagogues...

Paul preached on the street corners, had church front meetings, tent meetings and went house to house...

This commission was not absolute.

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;
Gal 2:8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
Gal 2:9 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.

Sounds pretty dog gone absolute to me...
