What did Paul accuse Peter of that was a sin? What rights do you refer to? Eating with who you want to eat? What about the rights of the visitors? What about Peter's rights?

Correct. What Peter did was make it appear as if the Law still had any validity. Peter missed a chance to show the visiting Jews that the Law as not essential to salvation. Where is the sin in missing an opportunity? Says you. He was just living in the past. No, just aware of and accepting of...

Not at all, but they sure do profit from it. I won't say they approve of sin, but the do accommodate it.

Ah yes...the great sin of adhering to the Law. You'll have to do better than that. Peter was just trying to make the visitors feel at home. Unfortunately, at the expense of the Gentiles with whom he fellowshipped. I can't speak for Peter, but I don't commit sin. Thanks be to God, Jesus, the...

Do you remember Matt 5:48 at every mass? It is written..."Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." How about 1 Cor 15:34..."Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame." How about 2 Tim...

At the time, Peter was still walking in the flesh, and without the Holy Ghost...and not a Christian. Until the day of Pentecost and the giving of the gift of the Holy Ghost, no man could be free of sinning. We can be now, however, thanks be to God.

Yes He did, and like Jesus' prayers, yours will be answered. (If it is His will) There is no need to keep praying for something that was granted 2000 years ago.

Do you mind elaborating?

That is a hoot. His judgement is coming. The false news feeds you attend to are rubbing off on you. I recommend you turn off the TV for a week.

Not at all, as it is only the bravest that will let God be glorified.

Guess what? His prayers were answered already, and you can quirt repeating them.

I don't at all wonder if my faith in God has anything to do with that.

To kill one man to save another is not of God. When did Peter, James, John, or Paul ever resort to violence?

Yes, not by them, either.

I hope I never post anything that is not in agreement with God.

It is a dire situation for those who trusted in men, instead of trusting in God. You know, the God who destroyed the Egyptian army in the Red Sea? He is still around.

If the "allied forces" had been Christians, they never would have picked up arms. Do you really think the allied forces were stronger than God?

I base "my" belief on what Paul wrote..."For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee." (Rom 11:21) They are not all Israel that say they are Israel. I have been made one with every other person who has been baptized into Christ Jesus, both Jew and Gentile...

It will never happen, thanks to my God's escapes from such temptations.

Are you a Christian? I can't understand why you would ask such a question if you were. In Christians circles, God's word is imperative. He had this written for us to be able to "escape" a temptation to kill..."There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful...
