Read Acts. Read Galatians. Paul is subordinate to the Council.

Just a friendly reminder of what you wrote about Galatians.. And a friendly reminder that Paul, in Galatians, says he did NOT receive his gospel from anyone, including the Council. Gal. 1:11,12. Just one more "But those who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me; God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat IN CONFERENCE ADDED NOTHING TO ME." (Gal. 2:6). you see? they added nothing to Paul, because they couldn't. And why is that? Because Gal. 1:11,12 tell you why. He received his gospel from revelation of Jesus Christ. He was only subordinate to Jesus Christ.Not to Peter, the 11, or the Council.

Okay, Paul had been preaching for what, 20 years at this point and had had repeated trips to Jerusalem. The excerpts I posted from Galatians indicate that Paul was indeed subordinate to the Council temporally. And in Galatians 2: says that he presented his gospel to the Council and they approved it.

Because Gal. 1:11,12 tell you why. He received his gospel from revelation of Jesus Christ. He was only subordinate to Jesus Christ.Not to Peter, the 11, or the Council.

I think that you are confusing temporal subordination with theological subordination, and as Galatians 2 says, Paul presented his material to the Council for approval.
