Perhaps the way Romans is written reveals the source of Paul's troubles with
the Jerusalem church. He was supposed (and perhaps he even intended) to
only addressed the Gentiles - the uncircumcised - because Peter was in
charge of the circumcised (cf. Gal 2:7-9). An expert on Judaism, however,
Paul could not resist speaking to the Jews. There may have been a deeper
problem, though. The mixed nature of the primitive church's congregations
simply did not allow the arrangement worked out between Paul and Jerusalem
to work smoothly.
