What happens if you fail to separate Peter and Paul's ministries?

Failure to separate Peter and Paul's ministries leaves a person in the same total confusion as most of Christendom today. The quoted source indicates that Scripture cannot be understood rightly unless those two ministries are distinguished, since Gentiles have a relation to Paul that they do not have to the other apostles.

Les teaches that separating Peter and Paul is, to him, the only way to understand Scripture. He reads William R. Newell's book, Paul vs. Peter, page 10, noting that 17 of the 28 chapters of Acts are given to Paul, who was not one of the original twelve and was not converted until long after Pentecost. Newell asks whether there must be a deep reason and says Gentiles have a relation to Paul that they do not have to the other apostles. Les concludes that until those two ministries are separated, a person will be like most of Christendom today: total confusion.
