    To establish that Paul rebuked Peter for walking not uprightly before the church. When men from James came to Antioch, Peter withdrew and separated himself from eating with the Gentiles, for fear of the circumcision.

Therefore, because the Disciples in the first century had to rely on hearing the ...read more
