As John the Baptist said, "He must increase, but I must decrease" ( John 3:30 ). By his words in 2 Peter 3, Peter indicates that Paul is not one of the false teachers described in his second epistle, and that Paul is an apostle, an apostle whom God independently saved and discipled, apart from the other apostles the Lord had chosen as His disciples. Below are the differences between the gospels and Apostleship's of Peter and Paul. Peter's gospel faded away as Israel was diminished, and is not the gospel that is preached today. Paul's disciples occasionally connected with the apostles in Jerusalem, so they all knew what was going on in various parts of the continent. Their presence is somehow always lingering in Jerusalem in particular, but also even in the Gentile churches. Thus, Peter no doubt understood the Lords words in a way which gave him hope of a prominent role in the kingdom of God. Paul presents his most passionate defense of his authority based on his revelations from Jesus and his mystical experiences. Paul was primarily the Apostle to Gentiles (Romans 11:132 Timothy 1:11). It was Paul who was ordained to write the clearest definition of the gospel in the Word of God, as found in the Book of Romans. Indeed, Pauls description of his relationship with the apostles and church leaders in Jerusalem may make us even more uneasy. The surprise of the Jerusalem Jewish saints is more an indication of their racial and religious biases than of genuine ignorance. He was summarily called on the carpet to explain his actions. What might one find hard to understand, or rather, hard to accept in Pauls writings? (1) The principle of human fallibility. When the leaders of the Jerusalem church came together, three speeches were given: one by Peter (cf. Here is the truth which God revealed through Paul to the church (including the at least initially reluctant and later forgetful apostles): 11 Therefore remember, that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by the so-called Circumcision, [which is] performed in the flesh by human hands 12 [remember] that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. Peter's Justification: Peter and the other eleven Apostles taught justification unto eternal life by believing on the name of Jesus; by believing Jesus is Christ, the Son of God (Acts 10:43Matthew 16:16Acts 4:12 Acts 2:36John 20:31). This should not have come to them as new revelation. He would rather offend his Gentile brethren than offend these legalists who might not even be saints. It was Peter who encouraged us to be good stewards of the manifold grace of God and stand firm in the true grace of God (1 Pet. When the church at Antioch was born, the church in Jerusalem sent Barnabas to minister to these new believers (11:22). 17 AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR; 18 for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. Also he was the one who cut off the ear of the soldier that was arresting Jesus. They wanted Jewish churches and Gentile churches. 7 But on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter [had been] to the circumcised 8 (for He who effectually worked for Peter in [his] apostleship to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles), 9 and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we [might go] to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised. 4Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. Justin and his wife Bernadette have three children (John-Paul, Mary Christine, and Thrse), and they live in Bowie, Maryland, and attend Sacred Heart Catholic Church. 77 I am tempted to think these legalistic brethren were a bit hypocritical as they seem to have strongly insisted that the Gentile converts be circumcised in order to be saved when they were in Antioch. Consider the following ways Peters reference here to Paul applies to the church and to individual saints. But we are not told to accept everything a leader says or does simply because they are a leader. Peter and the other Galilean disciples were not a part of the Jewish religious hierarchy; Paul was one of the most devout, the most dedicated, the most prominent and the most promising leaders of the Pharisees. (3) Closely related to the principle of plurality is the principle of accountability. But I am more inclined to think Peter means that false teachers distort the texts they do not like, ones they do not want to understand at face value so they can avoid changing their thinking and their lifestyle. The principle of plurality applies not only within a local church but also outside the local church. Peter's Apostleship: His Apostleship was commanded by Jesus Christ along with the other eleven disciples before Paul. When we have personality conflicts, though, things can seem messier. If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them (1 Corinthians 15:29, emphasis mine)? Did this in any way prompt James and John to seek the place of prominence at our Lords right and left hand (see Matthew 20:20-28)? (Chart 1) Both Peter and Paul do many of the same things and experience many of the same problems in Acts. The participation of Paul and Barnabas is recorded in but one verse (12) in this chapter. Paul's Justification: Paul taught justification unto eternal life by the cross (1 Corinthians 1:18 Galatians 6:14 Colossians 1:20). Paul is regarded as such by Peter, and he should be so regarded by all the saints. Surely the fact that Peter endorsed Pauls epistles as Scripture lends weight to their recognition as such by the church. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Below are the six major issues of distinction between what Peter taught and what Paul taught. Peter was primarily the Apostle to Israel (Galatians 2:8). Paul too preached the Gospel of the Kingdom. That order is clearly foreign to most Bible students today. Saint Paul, Martyr and Apostle to the Gentiles, pray for us! From what we read, it didn't seem to adversely affect the work that they were doing. Indeed, they have a very clear purpose. Your answer was very good. Despite their many differences, Peter and Paul both repented and truly followed the Lord, allowing their hearts to be converted to his will for the remainder of their lives, never denying him again. Only after Gentile saints came to faith (no thanks to the Jerusalem Jews and even the apostles, save Peter) did the apostles respond by sending Barnabas to Antioch (Acts 11:22-26). Folks read those letters . Paul is (or should be) our beloved brother. Peter preached to Israel repentance and baptism for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38). So much for those who preach or hold to a different gospel, but what of the apostles in Jerusalem? $14.95. Paul was from Tarsus, in modern-day Turkey. 4:1-8; Gal. Those who believed their gospels are in Christ. Copyright EpicPew. If the three were set apart from the rest of the twelve, Peter was even set apart from James and John, due to his great confession. Peter would play a crucial role in the establishment of the church of the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 16:18-19).75 Johns reaction to the unauthorized ministry of one who was not one of the twelve may well reflect Peters sentiments (see Mark 9:38). Below are the differences between the gospels and Apostleship's of Peter and Paul. It was not as though Paul and Barnabas were neglecting the unsaved Jews, because they always sought to preach to the Jew first, and then to the Greeks (Romans 1:16). Galatians 2:4) is not altogether clear. He did not send them out to do solo ministries, but sent them out in pairs. And the leadership and initiative was not from the Jerusalem apostles, but from men like Barnabas and Paul and other Hellenistic Jews (see Acts 13:1f.). The answer is simple: the mystery of the union of Jew and Greek, in Christ, without distinction. When Peter was divinely directed to the house of Cornelius where he preached the gospel, it would seem the whole church (or at least a good representation from the church) was present when Peter made his defense, accompanied by the six men who went with him and witnessed the salvation of these Gentiles (Acts 11:12, 18). The church collectively embracing an interpretation gives much more weight to that interpretation. Peter and the resurrection: Peter preached the gospel of the circumcision (Galatians 2:7). As John the Baptist said, He must increase, but I must decrease (John 3:30). The Apostle Paul saw this as hypocrisy and called it such to Peter's face (Galatians 2:11-14). Peter and Paul did not preach the same gospel messages. In Acts 2, filled with the Spirit, Peter stepped forward to preach the sermon at Pentecost (2:14f.). In John 21:15-19 we read that the Lord Himself entrusted the care of the flock to Peter. Jesus' followers, who were Jews, lived by Moses' Law. 13 And the rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy (Galatians 2:11-13). Plurality is also necessary because of what we might call Gods spiritual separation of power. Our government recognizes that the concentration of power in any one institution or in any one individual is dangerous, given the sinfulness of men. He distanced himself from the Gentile believers, and this out of fear for the party of the circumcision (2:12). 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - "Now I would r, Paul did not preach a dead works faith . I didn't make that up - God said that. In chapter 5, Peter alone rebuked Ananias and Saphira for their deception, and they died, but there was no pronouncement of doctrine here, no precedent-setting action (so that this kind of sentence continued to be pronounced by an individual). Peter preached forgiveness of sin at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19). Stop and think about it, how could Paul be preaching a different Gospel when he told the Gentiles that they. Paul used to be a Pharisee. Those who believed their gospels are in Christ. He says in the very 1st verse of the 1st chapter that he was an "apostle not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead." Another key difference. Peter preached to Israel repentance and baptism for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38). Married. Paul taught forgiveness of all sin now by the blood of Jesus (, Peter's gospel: Peter preached remission of sins in the name of Jesus (Acts 10:43). Very, very little. Some unbelieving Jews opposed the preaching of the gospel; others sought to distort the gospel by insisting that Gentile converts be forced to submit to the Law of Moses as indicated by circumcision. Peter's gospel: Peter preached remission of sins in the name of Jesus (Acts 10:43). In response to the salvation of the Samaritans, the Jerusalem apostles sent Peter and John to Samaria, where they laid hands on the believers who received the Holy Spirit (8:14-17). 14 Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, 15 and regard the patience of our Lord to be salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, 16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. The answer, in part, is that one man cannot have full authority because he is a sinner like all other men. Publicly, Paul rebuked Peter face to face. He was saved and discipled independently of them. Jesus, before he died, called it the gospel of the kingdom and people began to repent and to be in anticipation of the Messiah, some even knowing it was Jesus. This principle is derived not only from the history of Peter and Paul outlined previously, but from these words of Peter in our text: 15 Just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, 16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction (emphasis mine). When Peter first arrived, he associated freely with the Gentile saints, eating his meals with them. Paul's Justification: Paul taught justification unto eternal life by the cross (1 Corinthians 1:18Galatians 6:14Colossians 1:20). No one is given all the power. If It Is During The Millennium How Will There Not Be Pain And Tears When The Devil Is Released To Deceive The Nations? Peter was primarily the Apostle to Israel (Galatians 2:8). May God give us a repentant heart when we are corrected and a gracious spirit toward those He uses to point out our sin, just as He gave Peter toward Paul. When the Holy Spirit designated Barnabas and Paul as missionaries to the Gentile nations, His will was made known to the church leaders who collectively laid hands on them and sent them out (13:1-4). (7) Pauls writings are inspired, inerrant, and authoritative, though hard to swallow, even for the other apostles. This is not to say God let the native Hebrew apostles off the hook that easily. I believe this is precisely the policy the Jerusalem saints (including their leaders) wanted. A rift develops between these two factions of Judaism in Acts 6 due to the perception at least that the Hellenistic Jewish widows were getting second-class treatment compared to the native Hebrew widows (Acts 6:1). Peter preached that Israel received the new covenant by the crucifixion and shed blood of Jesus (Matthew 26:28 1 Peter 1:2 1 Peter 1:19 Acts 3:18 1 Peter 2:24 Acts 3:25). They were less than zealous to initiate the preaching of the gospel to Gentileseven after they acknowledged Gods purpose was to save the Gentiles, and even after the Lords commission to do so (see Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8). Our bond grew as I attended his mothers funeral and made several trips to visit him in Chicago. Gentiles had to come through Israel and it's covenants to be added to the church (Exodus 12:48Acts 11:1); Gentiles had to believe the preaching of the word delivered to Israel as preached by Peter (Acts 13:48). Peter and the others were untrained and ignorant men (Acts 4:13), while Paul was a man of great learning. By The church is not a mere collection of individuals. His argument is allotted five verses (7-11) by Luke. Paul preaches the gospel by which we are saved today. In chapter 2, we are told that the church devoted themselves to the apostles [plural] teaching (verse 42), not the apostles [i.e. They urged Paul to take their advice, and in so doing to put the minds of the more legalistic brethren at ease. Our friendship began with a shopping trip to buy a pair of shoes while he was on furlough. Paul and the resurrection: Paul taught that Christ was risen for our justification (Romans 4:25). 2. They wanted apostles for the Jews and apostles for the Gentiles. In my previous post I raised the question of whether Jesus and Paul represent fundamentally the same religion or not. Peters] teaching. When the Scriptures instruct us to correct a brother or sister overtaken by a fault (see Matthew 18:15-20; Romans 15:14; Galatians 6:1-2; 1 Thessalonians 5:14), this does not mean only our peers. I want to magnify the office of the apostle to the gentiles The one to whom was committed the dispensation of grace, the apostle Poul! Indeed, two of the seven men selected to free up the apostles to minister the word were the ones who played a major role in carrying the gospel to the Gentiles. Those who believed their gospels are in Christ. Peter was primarily the Apostle to Israel (Galatians 2:8). They rejoiced at the report Paul gave of his ministry among the Gentiles (verse 19), but they were very quick to turn the subject to the concerns of the more legalistic brethren, based upon false reports of his teaching and ministry (verses 20-21). Peter was the one who told Jesus that he would never let him die, and Jesus called him Satan for it. James nor paul contradicted each other . They were not heavyweights to him as seen in his words concerning them: 6 But from those who were of high reputation (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)well, those who were of reputation contributed nothing to me. You can learn more about Saint Peter and Pauls conversions, and how the Lord used their situations to call them to serve his kingdom, by reading the Catholic Encyclopedias entries on Saint Peter and Saint Paul. Even though we have come this far, we are only just beginning to grasp the point Peter strives to make with its implications. Even those who possess the same gifts and similar callings are not given full power, but power to perform a portion of the task our Lord gave to His entire church. But even when they reluctantly acknowledged the truth, only a handful of unknown Hellenistic Jews actually shared their faith with Gentiles (Acts 11:19-21). Neither Peter, nor his fellow-disciples, nor Paul, were infallible. But this was Peter. and its the same and its the ONLY GOSPLE that can save a man . 20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who came to Antioch and [began] speaking to the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus. Peter dominates the gospel stories, and Paul, who converts to Christianity much later, dominates the rest of the New Testament with his prolific letter writing. Paul's gospel: Paul taught the gospel of the uncircumcision (Galatians 2:7). Wow. Paul taught salvation to all freely by faith in Christ apart from the covenants of Israel and apart from keeping the law (Romans 9:4 Romans 3:28 Galatians 2:19). Both Abraham and David were justified by faith and not by works ( Rom. When showing someone the difference between the 12 Apostles and the Apostle Paul the best place to go in the Scriptures is the Prison Epistles of Paul written after the Acts period, for in them THERE ARE FAR MORE DIFFERENCES., THAN SIMILARITIES, which we will show in our next article. Paul was there for at least two years as a prisoner; and Peter may have resided for twelve months within its walls. These men are both in agreement in what they have written on many matters. But there were other links between these two men as well. Acts 15:12), and one by James (cf. And so in Acts 10, God orchestrated the visions of Cornelius and Peter, compelling Peter to go to the house of this Gentile where he then preached the gospel. Peters words in our text should certainly serve as a benchmark for assessing the truth of the doctrines claimed by the Roman Catholic Church regarding the pope. Paul in his epistles reveal the mysteries and doctrine for the church today. (5) The teachings of Paul do not disagree with those of Peter or the other apostles. THAT is the gospel . Noah Perez 54 Followers I am a Catholic author who writes apologetical, Biblical, and Spiritual articles. To be saved, Gentiles do not have to embrace Judaism with its self-righteousness through law-keeping. So far as Lukes account is concerned, the first missionary journey was completely independent of the church in Jerusalem. When Peter withdrew his fellowship from the Gentile saints and associated himself only with the Jews, he identified himself with the error they embraced and the self-righteousness in which they gloried. Peter was primarily the Apostle to Israel (. Can You Match These Saints to Their Weird Patronages? They insisted the only way a Gentile could enter into the blessings of the kingdom of God was to become a Jew, that is, a Jewish proselyte. Pauls relationship with Peter was not the same as his relationships with men like Barnabas or Timothy. They served the Lord faithfully for decades after Jesus respectively called each of them to follow him, collaborating with other Apostles as they served the early Church. How much weight did Paul carry among these Jerusalem Jewish saints? June 29 is the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul. Both Peter and Paul were ordained of God to preach the gospel. Yes, again. Acts 15:13-21). douge Peter and Paul did not preach the same gospel messages.

I got a title for your next post . 1:10, 5:10). Don't compare yourselves to Paul correcting Peter. The salvation of many Gentiles brought about a problem so serious that the Jewish leaders of the Jerusalem church, which included both the apostles and the elders, could not ignore it. Peter speaks not of one of Pauls letters, but of all his letters (verse 16). Salvation and the law; justification by faith in Jesus as the Messiah accompanied by necessary works. Peter is to Paul in Acts what John the Baptist is to Jesus in the Gospels. ). Where Paul uses Abraham as an example of justification by faith (Romans 4:1-16; Galatians 3:6-9), the epistle of James counters that Abraham's faith was demonstrated in his works (2:21-24). It was, so to speak, an isolated event, rich with implications, but with no new doctrinal revelations. Along with EpicPew, Justin has written for Aleteia, Ave Maria Press, Catholic Exchange, Catholic365, the journal Church Life, Our Sunday Visitor, and various other publications. Below are the differences between the gospels and Apostleship's of Peter and Paul. This disagreement between Paul and Barnabas was not over any doctrinal matter, but it was a personal issue. But it is ironic that the apostles were not on the cutting edge of fulfilling the Great Commission. This was as far as I got in this thread. Paul preaches the gospel by which we are saved today. This shows us how differences remain even in unity. God has practiced this separation of powers in both the Old and New Testaments. James nor paul contradicted each other . I no longer believe this is what Peter actually meant. I do not believe this is true, and our text seems to support my conclusion. Peter, James, John, Jesus in His earthly ministry, and all the other apostles of Israel do not use the term "the Church the Body of Christ." Paul seems to have to stand alone, along with Barnabas and Titus, in his confrontation with these legalistic Jewish heretics. Peter had denied Jesus not just once (as did Judas Iscariot, who unfortunately entered into despair rather than repenting), nor twice, but three times. The gospel is this - Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the dead. Israel would be a light for salvation unto the Gentile nations that would enter the kingdom (, Paul's gospel: Paul taught the gospel of the uncircumcision (, ). Paul was right in his teaching in Ephesians 2 and 3. Paul in his epistles reveal the mysteries and doctrine for the church today.
