Document Summary
They said paul was watering it down, leaving stuff out. They came from the leaders in jerusalem: paul is using certain language: cursed, spy, freedom, slave, false brothers. What can we conclude from his use of this language: war, battle, spheres of operation/location. Paul defending his turf own area of operation. Remember a division of labour peter going to jews. In paul"s view, where does problem start: galatians. How does paul present himself a good guy. Peter is a leader of group coming from jerusalem. Peter associates himself with people coming from james. So peter gradually goes away from non-jews because still has responsibilities to those coming from jerusalem. He thinks they have come to undermine him as spies. But they know paul is passionate, tends to go overboard. Paul, totally following him but still part of group coming from. We"re not sure when peter came, but seems that he thought things were fine in antioch.
