Who were the apostles of Israel according to Les?
The apostles of Israel were Peter and the eleven. They were recognized as the apostles to Israel, and Galatians 2 makes this plain. They agreed to go to the Jew while Paul went to the Gentile, marking a divergence of personalities and doctrine.
Les explains that Peter and the eleven were the apostles of Israel, and Galatians 2 makes this so plain that they understood it. They shook hands, and Peter and the eleven said, "We'll go to the Jew, you go to the Gentile." This marked a divergence not only of personalities but also of doctrine, as tremendous Pauline doctrines came that had never been revealed before.
