Who was Paul angry with?
And Paul is angry with the Galatian Christians for their gullibility. And twice he curses anyone—false teachers, angels, even himself—who tries to tamper with the Gospel (8,9).
The incident at Antioch was an Apostolic Age dispute between the apostles Paul and Peter which occurred in the city of Antioch around the middle of the first century. The primary source for the incident is Paul's Epistle to the Galatians 2:11–14.
Barnabas and Paul came to a very abrupt end in their mentoring relationship. They each decide to take on new partners and continue their missionary work. Barnabas took Mark (Acts 15:39) and Paul took on Silas (Acts 15:40).
Paul's Rapture: In 2nd Corinthians 12;4 , Paul refers to someone a man of Christ , whom he knows was raptured to Third Heaven and Paradise , fourteen years ago.
Paul insists that he is an apostle sent by God-that is, his authority does not stem from himself or from other humans. Thus, Paul argues that when the Galatians turned from his gospel to a new teaching, they had abandoned God and stood under a curse.
According to Paul, the community's problems were the consequence of the Corinthians' mistaken belief that they had already been exalted. They failed to take seriously the power of evil; their behavior caused divisions in the church and led to a lack of concern for other members.
Paul's confrontation with Peter in the port city of Antioch sparked a debate between the two over a group of Jewish-Christians called Judaizers. The Judaizers firmly stood by the belief that all converts, including the Gentiles had to follow the Jewish Law.
When Paul rebuked Peter, it was not simply because he was being sensitive to the hurt feelings of the Gentile Christians. Paul knew that by separating themselves, the Jewish believers were “deviating from the truth of the gospel” (v. 14). The gospel is not simply an individualistic way of getting right with God.
Paul's view, however, was that his Gentile converts could join the people of God in the last days without becoming Jewish, and he argued vociferously that faith in Christ was the only requirement for Gentiles. This is the meaning of “justification” or “righteousness” by faith, not by law, in Galatians and Romans.
As bad and damaging as all the ministry schisms are in modern day churches, they do not compare to the potential damage done on the early Church by the dissension between Paul and Barnabas over John Mark in Acts 15.
Was Barnabas a good person?
Acts 11:24 describes him as “a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit and faith.” The Bible first mentions Barnabas in Acts Chapter 4, which relates how he sold his property and donated the proceeds to the apostles to further the growth of the church.
Barnabas was a hellenized Jew who joined the Jerusalem church soon after Christ's crucifixion, sold his property, and gave the proceeds to the community (Acts 4:36–37). He was one of the Cypriots who founded (Acts 11:19–20) the church in Antioch, where he preached.
Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians, abbreviation Corinthians, either of two New Testament letters, or epistles, addressed by St. Paul the Apostle to the Christian community that he had founded at Corinth, Greece.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
The chapter continues with Paul refusing to take credit for an astounding revelation from God. Given a ''thorn in the flesh'' to keep him humble, Paul learned to be content with his suffering since God's power was made perfect in his weakness.
Paul and Silas are accused of political anarchy, subversion or resistance of one form or another. This accusation forms part of an ambivalent context as far as the interaction between Paul and his associates, and the imperial (-aligned) functionaries or agents was concerned.
Paul suffered three other shipwrecks, including one involving a night and a day adrift on the open sea. He was imprisoned and repeatedly flogged and beaten as well as stoned. He had been in danger from rivers and robbers as well as from Jews and Gentiles and false Christians.
In his weakness Paul was obliged to trust in God and his converts to recognize God. Some modern readers might begin to feel uneasy about this Pauline motif of the apostle's weakness and God's power.
He came to Corinth in “weakness and fear, and in much trembling” (1 Corinthians 2:3). Along the way he experienced relational struggles and people misunderstanding what he was trying to say. People outside the church tried to stop him while some within the church sought to undermine him.
Chapter 6: Paul forewarned the church not to be deceived by false teachers and false doctrines. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap” (v. 7). Whosoever sows to the flesh shall reap corruption.
Who was almost persuaded by Paul?
The Apostle Paul preached Christ to King Agrippa during his hearing before being sent to Rome in appeal to Caesar. Paul was so persuasive that the king told Paul, “Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian” (Acts 26:28). What sad words!
Galatians teaches that believers are justified by Jesus alone. They are a part of a diverse family and equipped by the Spirit to love God and others. Galatians teaches that believers are justified by Jesus alone. They are a part of a diverse family and equipped by the Spirit to love God and others.
You would recall that the biggest Africa's music group, Psquare, made up of Paul and Peter Okoye, his twin brother, had parted ways in 2017 and the split was said to have followed a disagreement on the role of Jude Okoye, their older brother, as manager.
In an infamous passage in his Letter to the Galatians (2.11–14), Paul called out Peter as a 'hypocrite'.
Peter was crucified upside down because he felt he was unworthy to be crucified in a manner similar to Jesus. Paul was beheaded because Roman citizens could not be crucified.
Regarding the question of Paul's relationship to contemporary Judaism, the short note in which the apostle states that he received five times thirty-nine lashes from Judeans plays an important role (2 Cor 11:24).
He begins by asserting that God's promises to Israel were never applicable to Israel as a whole. Commencing with Abraham, God selected only certain persons and some of their descendants in advance (Isaac but not Ishmael; Jacob but not Esau), with no prior regard to their merit.
Paul's Letter to the Galatians is a forceful and passionate letter dealing with a very specific question: the relation of Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians in the church, the problem of justification through faith not works of the Law, and freedom in Christ.
Throughout his communications with Timothy and other congregations, Paul's relationship with Timothy is consistently described as one of a father and son or two brothers and one that elicits Paul's gratitude. Paul's primary reference to Timothy from a family perspective is in the father–son sense.
The people invited Paul and Barnabas to come back the next week. In Acts 15 the mentor of encouragement, Barnabas, left with Mark to go on a missionary journey. Paul went with Silas and put his newfound encouragement skills to work.
Who cursed Barnabas?
A 1970's gothic-horror tale centering on the life of Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) who had entombed for 196 years by a jilted lover, Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green), a witch that also cursed him by making Barnabas a vampire so he would have to live forever with the memory of having spurned her and causing the death of ...

In Second Timothy, a letter traditionally ascribed to Paul, where it is mentioned that "...for Demas, because he loved this world, he has deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica." This has led to one commentator to describe Demas as 'Paul's Judas'.
Paul, Silas and Timothy were traveling through the region of Philippi when they encounter "a reputable businesswoman and possibly a widow... [who] was a righteous Gentile or 'God-fearer' attracted to Judaism". "[S]he was one of a large group [considered]...
