Gal 2:1 WEB Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to
Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
First question: is this the same time as recorded in the book of Acts 15:2
Or Acts 19:21?
If it is the same recorded events at Acts 15:2
Then there would be an issue
From verses of Galatians 2.
7 but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with
the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News
for the circumcised—8 for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the
circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—9 and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and
Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to
Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the
Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was
also zealous to do
Here Paul states that James, Peter, and John were to preach to the Circumcision, while he was given to the Gentiles.
Then he ends by saying
They only asked us to remember the poor"
This would not be true in the light of The account in Acts
Acts 15:25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose
out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ. (xref-2)27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also
tell you the same things by word of mouth.28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no
greater burden on you than these necessary things:29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood,
from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you
keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having
gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter. place
In Acts the things that was told the gentiles church from James and the Apostles were
- Things sacrificed to idols
- Blood and things strangled
- Sexual Immorality.
If in Galatians Paul was retelling this event, then he must have left the major things told him to tell the gentile converts.
How do we reconcile this accounts
