Hello
You have misunderstood me.
Paul went up to Jerusalem.
Paul met privately with those of reputation.
Paul met with those of reputation because there were false brethren compelling the saints to be circumcised.
I was not saying those of reputation were the false brethren.
Glory to God!
So Paul, having received the Gospel of Christ directly by Revelation from Christ...
Had a Revelation from Christ to go to Jerusalem to see Peter and John and Iakovos [Jacob/James in English]
For the purpose of finding out if he had run or was running in vain...
And he found out that he was NOT running in vain...
So now are you saying that Paul preached a differing Gospel than the one from them?
That the "Gospel of Paul" is NOT the Gospel of those who approved his ministry?
That they did NOT preach the SAME Gospel of Jesus Christ?
That Christ CHANGED His Gospel with the NEW Gospel now of Paul, not Peter and John and Iakovos?
One small problem with this understanding is the fact...
That John lived longer than all the Apostles...
And that he wrote His Gospel...
Decades after Paul had been beheaded...
