Where does Paul emphasize that he had nothing to do with the twelve in Jerusalem?
Paul emphasizes that he had nothing to do with the twelve in Jerusalem in Galatians chapters 1 and 2. A careful reading of those two chapters shows the drastic difference between Paul and the twelve, because he was called outside Israel on Gentile ground outside Damascus, not within Israel’s borders.
Les explains that there is a drastic difference between the twelve apostles and Paul. Jesus chose the twelve within the borders of Israel, mostly up along Galilee, but Paul was never called within Israel’s borders. He was called on Gentile ground outside Damascus, setting him totally apart from the twelve. Les says that if you doubt this, read Galatians chapter 1 and chapter 2 carefully; there Paul emphasizes that he had nothing to do with the twelve back in Jerusalem. That is why the Lord called him from Gentile ground and sent him to the Gentiles.
