“Paul publicly rebuked Peter for his hypocrisy and argued that righteousness comes through faith in Jesus Christ, not by observing the law (Galatians 2:15-16). This confrontation demonstrates the seriousness of the issue and the need for boldness in defending the true gospel.”

(The Dissenter) In the first century AD, the apostle Paul, who quickly became known as the apostle to the Gentiles, embarked on a series of missionary journeys, preaching the gospel throughout the Roman Empire and planting churches. Among the places where he planted churches was the region of Galatia, located in modern-day Turkey. These emerging Christian communities, composed primarily of Gentile believers, were eager to learn and grow in their newfound faith.

However, not long after Paul’s departure, a group of Jewish false teachers who are referred to as the Judaizers arrived on the scene undermining Paul’s teachings and wreaking havoc among these fledgling churches. These Judaizers, who claimed to have a connection with the apostles in Jerusalem, sought to impose Jewish customs and practices on the Gentile converts, insisting that adherence to the Mosaic Law, particularly circumcision, was necessary for salvation.
