The coming of farmer Chrost

 Paul gave the theologians words of wisdom of when Christ will be coming back to the world for the second time. He said that God will be coming back, and to remember to follow His words. Because he will remember all of your life and never forget what you have done. 

He told them to stand firmly and to always praise and thank God for he loves you and always will be there for you. Because those who who follow His ways, will be given his glory for the life of Him. And to remain to pray to him and for help with their lives because it's too hard to do it themselves. 

Paul also told them to stay away form the idols of the world, for they are corrupt. For they will do nothing for you and bring many hardships. He also warned to continue to work and do not grow lazy, and to continue working hard. Or if you do grow lazy, he will not earn food or drink for his time he spends doing nothing, and to do any of his works in the name of God.

Life strugglez

Why is Paul upset at Peter? What could he have possibly done to cause this conundrum? Let's travel through the Bible to find out why!
So Peter was a messenger from Christ, who was sent to convert the Gentiles from their ways, but that caused a fuss in Antioch. By regularly eating with the Gentiles, Peter encouraged them to follow Christ, but he was worrying others by his acts. James especially did not like this idea, so he sent out some of his men to tell him to stop in the name of the Jewish law, for it didn't follow in the ways of shunning the Gentiles from their faith.
From there on, Peter lived his life that he had never eaten with any Gentile and acted like it never happened, that was until Paul confronted him.

Paul was frustrated why Peter and the other Jews would part away from their acts of Christ and follow this Jewish "law". He confronted ten by saying, " We who are Jews by birth and not by 'Gentile sinners', know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith is Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified" (Galatians 2: 15-16). Paul said this because he was afraid that the gospels would be in danger of being lost in the middle of all the man-made religions. 

Paul co fronted Peter, because he was living a double life, by going from eating and praising with the Gentiles to blocking them out of his life completely, and doing this because it goes against some of the false religion's laws and shows they are wrong. 

So in our journey with Christ, we should be able to take that step out of our boundaries and never let others hold us back because of our choices, and never live a double life just because we want to be accepted by others. For God tells us to do everything in our life for Him, but it is part of our human nature to want to be accepted by others so it's a challenge for Christians to forget about being accepted and just live our life for Christ.
