Uh huh. Well you're entitled to think what you like about me. Truth be told I reserve my scholarship and apologetics for those on RF who might be receptive to it. Pearls and swine and all that. And in my estimation, you're not worthy of it. Besides, people far more eloquent, charitable and knowledgeable have explained these things to you and you've rejected it.
P.S.: Paul's statement was in the context of all the apostles in communion with Peter as Head of Christ's Church who could not err in teaching contrary to the Faith.
No one has even attempted to prove the "traditions" are the same. They can't.
>>P.S.: Paul's statement was in the context of all the apostles in communion with Peter as Head of Christ's Church who could not err in teaching contrary to the Faith.<<
Paul specifically referenced the Gentiles making the statement "giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us; 9and He made no distinction between us and them,". That cannot possibly be used for what you would like.
“P.S.: Paul’s statement was in the context of all the apostles in communion with Peter as Head of Christ’s Church who could not err in teaching contrary to the Faith.”
Keep reading further on in Galatians and you will find that to be false. On the contrary, Paul made it clear concerning where he got his gospel:
NOT from man
NEITHER through man
BUT through Jesus Christ and God the Father
Not/Neither/But. This formula is repeated two more times in the letter.
He goes on to say that God shows no partiality and SPECIFICALLY in the context of the other apostles “who seemed to be influential”. Seemed? He daringly, parenthetically, then says “what they were makes no difference to me...”
It gets worse.
He then PUBLICLY rebukes Peter for not acting in accordance with the truth of the gospel (for hypocritically withdrawing from the Gentiles and fearing the circumcision party).
Paul is the apostle to the Gentiles because the Lord Jesus Christ CHOSE him to be.
