Hold up Peter let's talk a minute

A lot of people really wonder the question. Why did Paul confront Peter? That is a very good question so lets jump on into it. Paul confronted peter because of the way things had been we was unhappy with Peter for being a hypocrite because Peter had been practicing eating with the Gentile Christians spending time with them, then out of nowhere Peter decided to separate from the Gentile Christians after the arrival of the delegation from James because of his fear of the circumcision group. Which was really strange, then goes on to the separation of the other Jewish Christians from Gentile Christians because of Peter's influence. Then finally after all of this we have Paul's rebuke of Peters practice of eating with the Gentile Christians.

Honestly I feel like today we act the same way that Peter was acting back then, we sometimes put stereotypes on what we think the "perfect christian" is supposed to look like, and act like. Which is no bueno, because that makes us no better than the people we are pushing away from Christianity, and all and all I think it is really bad because I used to go to a church that did this and eventually they changed but a lot of people noticed it and it was really of putting. I think as Christians we can take away from this just to simply not do this for we are not any better than the ones we judge.

A good modern day example is literally the types of Christians that think if you are not a Christian you are a terrible person and will literally try and persuade people to join Christianity by shoving the gospel down there throat. Which again is not good because people won't listen to someone who they think is mentally insane unless you are insane yourself.

Peter realizing he wasn't doing the right thing.
