***Who should people trust, you or Jesus’ apostle Peter? ***

Whom should I trust? The Apostle to the Circumcision, or the Apostle to the Gentiles.

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.

Galatians 2:
11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.

13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.

14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

WHY was Peter so scared of “by works a man is justified” James!

Decisions, Decisions! I think I will stick with St Paul.

Peter and Paul both spoke the truth from the Lord concerning baptism in the gospel. When you reject the Lord's apostles, you reject the Lord.
