What did Paul preach that Peter never did — and why does it matter for YOUR salvation? Galatians 2 and Acts 9 reveal a stunning distinction between two separate gospels and two separate apostles.
✝️ In this verse-by-verse study through Galatians 1-2 and Acts 9, we trace Paul's journey from his three years of isolated training at Mount Sinai, to his two-week visit with Peter in Jerusalem, to his eventual ministry in Tarsus — and uncover why Paul's gospel to the Gentiles is distinct from Peter's gospel to the Jews. Paul's bold stand at the Jerusalem council, his refusal to yield "not for an hour," and the handshake agreement between Paul, Barnabas, Peter, James, and John are all examined in careful detail.
📖 Key Topics Covered:
• Why Paul says "I lie not" — defending his apostleship in Galatians 1:20
• Romans 11:13 — "I am the apostle of the Gentiles" explained
• Paul's 3 years at Mount Sinai and what God revealed to him there
• The Jerusalem council: Galatians 2 and Acts 15 as parallel accounts
• Why Paul "gave place by subjection no, not for an hour" — Galatians 2:5
• Peter to the Jews, Paul to the Gentiles — the gentleman's agreement of Galatians 2:9
• Why the poor saints in Jerusalem needed offerings from Paul's Gentile converts
• Peter's miracles in Acts 9: healing Aeneas and raising Dorcas (Tabitha) from the dead
