Bible Question: What advice would Paul give being critical of the motives or methods of other Christians. |
Bible Answer: Actually, there's an excellect example of this regarding Paul and the apostle Peter (as well as other Jews who became Christians). Peter, born a Jew, grew up sharing the prevailing negative view of people of other races. When he was enlightened to see that God had opened up the way of salvation to both non-Jews and Jews alike, he acknowledged this in Acts 10:34,35. However, like us today, we are sometimes subject to peer pressure and this happened to Peter with some Christianized Jews, as reported in the book of Galatians. Notice Paul's counsel voiced to Peter in Galatians 2:14 (The Amplified Bible) "... I said to Cephas (Peter) before everybody present, If you, though born a Jew, can live [as you have been living] like a Gentile and not as a Jew, how do you dare now to urge and practically force the Gentiles to [comply with the ritual of Judiasm and] live like Jews?" In this case, Paul's counsel was not private because those Christian Jews present were practicing the same thing (namely, Judiasm - Christians who still wanted to practice the old Law Convenant, which was unnecessary because Jesus' presenting of his blood to his Father did away with the Law Convenant, such as getting circumsised.) You may find the surrounding verses helpful - please read Galatians 2:11-14. |
