At the beginning, Christianity was a Jewish reform movement. Jesus was a circumcized Jew. There was conflict in the post-Jesus Christian community. Counting in pagans, cooking with them unkosher and sleeping with them.

Peter yet obeyed the demand to keep kosher and to not get intimate with pagans. Still the old inner-Jewish reform thought in mind.

But Paul thought otherwise. Expand it, count in non-Jewish guys in and make counting in easier, drop all those rules with blood, meat-diary, circumcision etc. This was well received in hellenized Jewish communities, a reason why the New Testament is written in Greek.


But what if Paul had obeyed like Peter?
