Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
When Paul and Barnabas return from the first missionary journey they find things back in Jerusalem in error and actual disobedience. Peter was told, in no uncertain terms, by a vision repeated three times and a direct voice from the Holy Spirit to make peace with the Gentiles. Tear down the wall. Go with them. Associate with them. Eat with them. Do not call any food (iguanas) or person (gentile) unclean. God is sovereign and has welcomed the Gentiles into his church. He reported this the other leaders in Jerusalem and corrected their bad theology. Well, that was about 11 years prior.
Since that time, Peter had grown fearful of people, (the circumcision party) more than God. He reverted to some bad behavior and bad words. He even taught this bad way of thinking.
So Paul lets him have it. Verbally. Physically in his face. Publicly because the sin was public. Along the way, even my favorite BARNABAS was deceived. Yikes. It all ends well. The hypocritical tongue, table and influence stops. Peter, and the whole wrong Jerusalem church was straightened out...and you think you have problems in YOUR CHURCH.
