    Sure, but then the 'sharp disagreement' is with some people who came to 
Antioch and insisted on circumcision for Gentile believers, not with the 
leaders themselves, and 'much debate' can be carried on in a very civil way. 
There's nothing in Acts to suggest that Paul went off from Jerusalem with a 
chip on his shoulder, and that's exactly the impression I get from Galatians.
