Paul Rebukes Peter in Antioch | Galatians 2:11 | Episode 63

Why did Paul rebuke Peter in Antioch? Was Peter preaching a different gospel, falling back into legalism, or was something else happening when he withdrew from the Gentile believers?In this conversation, we examine Galatians 2 alongside Peter’s encounter with Cornelius in Acts 10 and Paul’s teaching in Romans 14. Peter’s actions are described as hypocrisy, not apostasy, raising an important question about what was really at stake in Antioch. Was the conflict primarily about what Peter was eating, or did his separation from the Gentiles communicate that Jewish believers occupied an inner circle of fellowship and salvation?We follow the relationship between Jews and Gentiles, the circumcision party, table fellowship, and the truth of the gospel as we work toward a clearer understanding of why Paul confronted Peter publicly.Read the companion study and join the conversation:https://wakinguptograce.com/063-paul-rebukes-peter-part-1-galatians-2-11/
