What happens if you don't separate Peter and Paul?
Failing to separate the ministries of Peter and Paul results in total confusion, the same condition affecting most of Christendom today. Separating them is presented as the only way to understand Scripture. The distinction is essential because Gentiles have a relation to Paul not shared with the other apostles.
Les explains that he makes a point of separating Peter and Paul because, to him, it is the only way to understand Scripture. He reads from William R. Newell's book, Paul vs. Peter, page 10, where Newell notes that 17 of the 28 chapters of Acts concern the apostle Paul, who was not one of the original 12 and was not converted until long after Pentecost. Newell asks whether there must be a deep reason, and answers that Gentiles have a relation to Paul that they do not have to the other apostles. Les concludes that until you separate the ministries of those two men, you will be like most of Christendom today: total confusion.
