Paul is hiding something... What happened in Jerusalem?
Did Paul actually go to Jerusalem after his conversion? In Galatians, Paul swears before God that he didn't — but the book of Acts puts him there anyway. In this video I walk through the key passages in Galatians 1 and 2 alongside Acts, and show that this isn't just a timeline contradiction. Paul and the author of Acts have completely opposite agendas for how to present Paul's relationship to Jerusalem. Scholars have debated the relationship between Galatians and Acts for decades. Some try to harmonize the timelines. Others argue the contradictions are irreconcilable. In this video I'm not trying to resolve that debate — I want to show you something more interesting: why each author tells the story so differently, and what that reveals about the early Christian movement. What we cover: Did Paul go to Jerusalem after Damascus? (Galatians 1 vs Acts 9) The Jerusalem Council: private meeting or public assembly? (Galatians 2 vs Acts 15) Did Jerusalem leaders support Paul or contribute nothing? What actually caused the split between Paul and Barnabas? Why the author of Acts may have known Paul's letters — and revised them ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Community - https://skepe.mn.co/ Substack - https://substack.com/@cjcornthwaite Patreon - / footnotefamous 📱 FOLLOW FOR MORE YouTube: @cjcornthwaite Instagram: @cjcornthwaite Website: cjcornthwaite.com Email: [email protected] 🎙️ FOOTNOTE FAMOUS (MY PODCAST) Conversations with the world’s top scholars of the Bible and Christian origins. 🔗https://www.footnotefamous.com/ OR Listen on your favorite streaming platform ᯤ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4lSzQzT...
