Paul spent 3 yrs being taught by Christ
Paul pays a social visit for 3 days to meet Peter
14 years later, Paul takes Titus to James and Peter to ask them if Titus needs be circumcised in order to follow Christ. Privately.
Neither James nor Peter had spent sufficient time with Paul to have taught Paul anything. Only a 3 day get together.
Yet James is the leader of the Jerusalem church.
Paul is asking (privately) Peter and James whether or not Paul's gospel was in error. Titus is Paul's test case. If Peter and James insist that Titus be circumcised then Paul would have been wrong.
But it was the Judaizers who did not have apostolic authority that were wrong. No where does it say in the word that Peter and James were corrected by Paul.
