>>4. Paul's split with the Jerusalem church was because of their insistance

I don't recall hearing anything about "Paul's split" with the Jerusalem
church. After his Damascus road experience, I don't recall him splitting
with any part of 'the church' or Israel. He had disagreements - with
several parties - but not a split as far as I can see.

Thanks to all of you who responded to my query. It seems that my confussion
was in linking purity laws and circumsion together. Let me see if I can
summerize what I recieved from the emails.
1. The Jerusalem Chruch did not require circumcision as a means of
conversion.
2. However, they did require commitment to the purity laws of the Torah (so
Peter was afraid to let James catch him eating with Gentiles - Gal.
2:11-12.)
3. Before Paul's conversion he may have persecuted the church because of
their differing views of circumsision.
4. Paul's split with the Jerusalem church was because of their insistance
on the purity laws.
I believe that this is what I am hearing. Tell me if I am wrong.
Vince Endris
