Below are the differences between the gospels and Apostleship's of Peter and Paul. The apostles (certainly including Peter) were reluctant to believe that Paul was saved (Acts 9).

Paul was the perfect counterpart to Peter and the other apostles.

The Martyrdom of Paul the Apostle and the Discovery of His Severed Head 2. He knew Jesus personally, had worked with him, and was directly familiar with his precepts. This mentality carried over into the church so that even Christian Jews (if we dare use such an expression) felt a kind of smug superiority to Gentile believers.

Peter, a Jewish fisherman, was called to be a disciple of Jesus at the beginning of Jesus' ministry. Passion of the Apostles Peter and Paul 5. When Paul preached the gospel of the grace of God, Peter's gospel of the kingdom to Israel was limited to the circumcision. Peter preached holiness, and to remain steadfast unto the coming of Jesus and his kingdom (2 Peter 3:17). 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). Basic to the structuring of the apostolic narrative in Acts is its focus on Peter and Paul. Q.

In my previous post I raised the question of whether Jesus and Paul represent fundamentally the same religion or not. (Acts 15:1 KJV). Each of the twelve disciples, hand-picked by Jesus, followed Him in life. We will seek to show that the Peter of the Gospels, and even the Peter of the Book of Acts, would not write the things concerning Paul written in these closing verses of his second epistle. Even in Acts this principle of plurality is evident in the partnered ministry of Peter and John, and later in the ministries of Paul and Barnabas and their missionary teams. Peter's gospel faded away as Israel was diminished and is not the gospel that is preached today. I fear the distinction of Peter as the apostle to the circumcision and Paul as the apostle to the Gentiles is equivalent to the Supreme Court decision which established what has become known as the policy of separate but equal (Plessy v. Ferguson, 1898). Israel under the old covenant promises was promised to be a holy nation, a kingdom of kings and priests to rule over the Gentile nations with Christ (Revelation 1:6Exodus 19:6Revelation 5:10). Peter, the rock, the disciple who was one of the three disciples most intimately associated with the Master, the one who preached the gospel so clearly and forcefully to the Jews at Pentecost and who also preached to the Gentiles at the home of Cornelius, now denies that very gospel. Paul was from Tarsus, in modern-day Turkey. Yes it is identifying different gospels to different groups otherwise it would say the gospel to the circumcision or the gospel to the uncircumcision.

Paul's disciples occasionally connected with the apostles in Jerusalem, so they all knew what was going on in various parts of the continent. Some of the most illustrious of the early converts were members of the Church of Rome; for in the days of the Apostle of the Gentiles there were disciples in "Caesar's household."

Peter also had obscure texts in his writings which cause students of Scripture to scratch their heads (such as 1 Peter 3:18-22). (7) Pauls writings are inspired, inerrant, and authoritative, though hard to swallow, even for the other apostles. The church collectively embracing an interpretation gives much more weight to that interpretation. In Acts 6, the problem of the alleged preferential treatment of certain widows was handled by the apostles collectively, and in such as way as to involve the whole church (6:2, 5).

The more that we learn about how God called Peter and Paul (despite their greatly distinct gifts, talents, abilities, and other circumstances), the better capable we are of fathoming how he wants to do likewise in our own lives. They do seem to have come from Jerusalem, from the church, and from James. Once again James and the Jerusalem church leaders seem to be closely and not uncomfortably (to them) associated with those who distort the gospel. We often find it impossible to understand those things we do not like or do not want to acknowledge as true. 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.

In Acts 22, Paul (formerly Saul) gives his personal testimony to his fellow-Israelites and in chapter 26, he testifies of his conversion before the Agrippa. 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 preached forgiveness of sin at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19). Paul writes just as also Peter has written. What might one find hard to understand, or rather, hard to accept in Pauls writings? I doubt Peter was surprised by this charge. Paul had just written that he was no man-pleaser (1:10f.).
