3. Paul rebuked Peter for his hypocrisy.

Galatians 2:11-14 "But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him

to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain came
from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he
withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the
circumcision. And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him;
insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their
dissimulation. But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according
to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou,
being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews,

why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?"

CATHOLIC PRIESTS

"OUT WITH THE NEW, IN WITH THE OLD"

The power-hungry catholic church took the idea of a special priest class

above the laity from the Jews in the Old Testament. The failure of these
priests was illustrated in 2 Chronicles 29:34 when the non-priests "were
more upright in heart...than the priests."

This kind of priesthood was done away with in the New Testament. When
Jesus died on the cross, "the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the
top to the bottom" (Matthew 27:51).

In the New Testament, we don't have a temple; we ARE the temple.

1 Corinthians 3:16 "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that
the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?"

1 Corinthians 6:19 "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of
the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not

your own?"
