"For I NEITHER RECEIVED it of MAN, NEITHER was I TAUGHT IT, but BY THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST." (Gal. 1:11,12).( Notice it's GALATIANS).

Oh? The Paul revealed in Acts not to your liking? Paul huddled with the Apostles a number of times in order to confer. What do you think a month long journey on foot is made for? To discuss the next round of America's Got Talent? Clearly Paul had a revelation from Christ. But he had to get himself baptized afterwards and had hands laid upon him by the Council before he was recognized as a fellow bishop.

Paul neither received the gospel he preached from Peter and the 11 nor was he taught it from them.

I think that he HAD to come to them for a bunch of reasons including ordination and simply to ensure that their stories were straight.

Their stories were straight? You have an entire religion based on either ADDING to the Scriptures, in order to make them comply to your standards, or TAKING FROM the Scriptures, in order to make them comply to your standards. In order to make your stories straight. Actually, America's Got Talent may just be a wiser road to take. At least they have RULES, that are written, and complied with.

As to Paul in Acts, Galatians which you were just SO proud of, doesn't seem to your liking now...I LOVE Acts. It was the transition period from Law to Grace, from the Gospel of the Kingdom, to the Gospel of the Grace of God, from a kingdom of believers to a Body of believers, from Peter's preaching on the day of Pentecost to the nation of Israel, to Paul's preaching of the reconciliation of Jew and Gentile into One New Man. What's not to like?

Unless you're looking for Peter's trip to Rome, or the claim that Peter was the first pope, or that Peter was the vicar of Christ. Then Acts is a problem..
