You are just flat-out ignoring what Christ said. He said there would be 12 thrones, plus His, when His kingdom is set up. Why ignore this? Because you would have to answer “what about Paul?” Don’t you get it? THIS is exactly why rightly dividing God’s Word is imperative. Without that, we just speculate, ignore, sweep under the rug, or flat out deny what God has CLEARLY SAID.

Rather, as i pointed out, the Lord did not say only 12 apostles would occupy the 12 thrones, and in fact every overcomer will sit with Christ in His throne, (Rv. 3:21), and the Lord said all the faithful will sit in judgment.

The question is why do you think a speculative answer supports Peter preaching a different gospel? So far you have provided zero proof of this, while i have provided abundance of texts showing they both preached salvation by repentant faith in the crucified and risen Lord Jesus. In response you move on to "Why was Paul made an Apostle?" "why the need for Paul," as if that would establish your premise, but which i have answered as it does not.

?” Don’t you get it? THIS is exactly why rightly dividing God’s Word is imperative.

Rather, the premise that you are rightly dividing God’s Word is your argument, that despite the abundance of texts showing Peter preaching the same essential gospel, you reject all evidence to the contrary as not rightly dividing God’s Word but you see a division btwn gospels which is not really shown to be there.

Without that, we just speculate, ignore, sweep under the rug, or flat out deny what God has CLEARLY SAID.

Sorry to be harsh, but this is indeed much what i see you doing, while what the evidence shows is that Peter preached the same essential gospel as Paul, "Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 20:21)

And which, as said, was because Israel rejected Christ as their Messiah, and with it the theocratic kingdom on earth, thus the appeal by Peter to the house of Israel was to "save yourselves from this untoward generation," of which most of Israel consisted, but a message of grace preached not only to them by to them that are a far off, as many as fear God.

That is what Scripture most clearly reveals.
