Interesting! We know that Peter and Paul were not always in agreement (Galatians 2). When caught between the two, I tend to be more quick to believe James or Peter, who spent years by Jesus’ side. All three were human and doing their level best to understand something that surpassed their limited knowledge. Also, God’s desire for all his children to return to him is more consistent with my understanding of a loving Father.

This is an excellent examination of a fascinating aspect of the Bible, Steven.

I was just reading the other day about differing accounts of the same events regarding Peter and Paul that are described in Acts and Galatians.

Very interested to read more of your work.
