Galatians: The Clash of Old and New
This is an important teaching in two respects: 1) to known how powerful the influence of incorrect and false doctrine is in seducing the believer and 2) how it gains entrance through personality constraints. Peter, who at this point, was a pillar in the church and in agreement with relaxing restrictions on believers began acting the hypocrite. How could this happen? A large part of it was his personality and behavior patterns that made him susceptible. And because of his standing, even Barnabas was falling for it! Know thyself! is key in life!
