Introduction

Good day to you all! Let us turn to the second chapter of the Book of Acts. This chapter may offend many, and the reason is simple: what I will share differs from what traditional church pastors preach. I have discovered a very important point, and that is the theological logic of the Apostle Paul. The Book of Acts, as it records Peter's actions, easily leads people to believe that Peter was doing the right thing. However, why did things get worse and worse for him, eventually deteriorating to a terrible state?

When we compare this with the theology of the Apostle Paul, we will discover that Luke wrote the Book of Acts with a certain agenda. One might carelessly assume that he was praising Peter. We must be careful when we read this chapter, which is actually about 'starting from being filled with the Holy Spirit.' In the theological system of the Apostle Paul, being filled with the Holy Spirit is merely a beginning. Many churches today have turned being filled with the Holy Spirit into metaphysics, as if being filled with the Holy Spirit is all that matters, representing that one has been born again and saved.

After careful study, I became puzzled because I found that this was not the case at all. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is merely a beginning, like enrolling in primary school. After much effort, one still has to complete high school, take the university entrance exam, and then start working. Upon starting work, one finds that what was learned in those years is of no use, and one is not capable in practical work. We can only describe being filled with the Holy Spirit as enrolling in primary school, far from graduating from high school or university. It is not everything.

What Point Was Luke Trying to Make?

The Book of Acts was written by Luke while the Apostle Paul was in Rome, awaiting trial by the emperor. At that time, Paul's theological system had reached perfection. By the time Paul was sent to Rome, the churches he had established and his entire theological system had reached a state of consummate skill. The books of Ephesians, Galatians, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, and Romans were all clearly written. So what point was Luke trying to make by writing the Book of Acts at this time?

Some verses in 1 Corinthians mention Cephas, who was later Peter, and Apollos. 1 Corinthians describes how Peter created confusion in the Corinthian church. When Luke wrote this history, he described how the church began, how the Holy Spirit descended on the day of Pentecost, and how it developed step by step, according to the situation at the time. By the time the church had developed to the era of the Apostle Paul, the Apostle Peter had reached a point where he was doing things, but nothing was happening for him. Have you ever noticed that some people in a company also reach a point where they are doing things, but nothing is happening for them?

I am quite good at my work. As long as the boss gives me a task, I can always accomplish it. Regardless of the surrounding environment, I will complete anything that is related to me. And at first, I may be on the periphery, very marginal, but as I work, I get closer to the centre, and then I stand in the middle. This is how I build churches, and it is also how I do secular work.

Peter started off with great fanfare, but the rain was light. He was originally an apostle to the Gentiles, but later the Gentile churches had nothing to do with him. Peter often went around causing trouble, whether in the Corinthian church or in the Galatian church. He was either idle and pretending, or he just ended up with nothing happening for him. Luke's Book of Acts aims to show that Peter was doing things wrong, and that from the beginning, many things he did were not quite right. Chinese Mingding Destiny digs out these things one by one, so that everyone can understand that the Apostle Paul started from a very humble beginning, and gradually became an apostle to the Gentiles. In the end, almost the entire New Testament is made up of the letters of the Apostle Paul. Paul really did a good job!

If we lived in the era of the Apostle Paul and wanted to write a Book of Acts like the one Luke wrote, how would we describe Peter? First, we would have to describe it according to objective historical facts. Actually, by the time of the Apostle Paul, when Luke wrote the Book of Acts, the answer was already clear: Peter had made a mistake. Luke faithfully wrote down how Peter had gradually reached such a desolate state.

At the last Bible study, someone asked if the Bible was written incorrectly. In fact, the Bible is not written incorrectly, and it is even more important not to read it incorrectly. When we read the Bible, we must read out the meaning that the author wants to express. We must begin to understand that in that historical era, a once glorious figure, like Xiang Yu, eventually committed suicide by the Wu River. In fact, many things that Xiang Yu did before, such as the Feast at Hong Gate, were not done correctly.

The point that Luke wants to make is that Peter made a mistake from the beginning, and one mistake led to another, resulting in a difference of a hair's breadth leading to an error of a thousand miles. Now I will show you the point that Luke wants to make. Do not treat this as a positive thing. Luke is merely recording a historical fact. When he wrote this, it was actually about thirty years after Jesus' resurrection and ascension and the descent of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. At that time, Paul had been walking on the road of building churches for more than twenty years. Luke faithfully recorded Peter's initial prosperity, and also recorded the reasons why he gradually fell into corruption.

The Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost Is Only the Beginning

Do not treat the descent of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost as the end. If you do not know that this is only the beginning, it will be troublesome. Let us see what Jesus said.

And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, 'which,' He said, 'you have heard from Me.' (Acts 1:4)

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. (Acts 1:8)

This is very clear. You shall receive power. Without power, you cannot do anything. In the Apostle Paul's discourse, the descent of the Holy Spirit is only the beginning! When the Holy Spirit descends on a person, the flesh is still alive, and it is still alive and kicking. Some of us are district leaders, and the flesh cannot be suppressed or killed. Today, with great difficulty, you have put to death the evil deeds of the flesh, but tomorrow it lives again, playing a game of resurrection from the dead every day. The flesh is resurrected every day. Wouldn't you say that is very deadly?

On the day of Pentecost, the flesh of man did not die. The descent of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost is only the beginning. To putting to death the evil deeds of the flesh, living out the glorious image of Jesus, and witnessing for Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth, offering oneself as a person with Mingding Destiny, is still very far away. Without a little faith, there is no way to walk that road! When I see this, I really need to cry out: God, please put to death the evil deeds of my flesh! Otherwise, my flesh will live again soon.

When the Apostle Paul spoke of being filled with the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues, he mentioned that speaking in tongues is our spirit praying, which has no effect on understanding. Therefore, we must pray in the spirit and also pray with understanding. We must be filled with the Holy Spirit and also read the Bible well. Chinese Mingding Destiny does not do balance in this regard, but completeness. We must be filled with the Holy Spirit and receive power, and we must also be filled with the knowledge of God in our understanding. We must pursue spiritual things well, and we must also do things in a down-to-earth manner. Some people do not want to do things in a down-to-earth manner, but want to have fun. That is also fine. Have fun and have fun to the death. From now on, you should not bother with me, and I am too lazy to bother with you, because when you bother with me, you will feel uncomfortable inside. I am here to help people live out the glorious image of God, not to live out the image of a monkey.

Therefore, speaking in tongues and being filled with the Holy Spirit is only the beginning. In the second half of the Book of Acts, it is also recorded that every time the Apostle Paul went out to preach the gospel, he would ask people: After you were baptised, did you receive the Holy Spirit? If not, you must come and receive the Holy Spirit. This is only the beginning. When Paul came to Corinth to build a church, after the church was filled with the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Paul said: According to the time, you should have grown up and matured long ago, but now you are still a carnal person, who can only drink milk and cannot eat solid food. As soon as Paul arrived in that place, he was able to get along very well with those carnal Christians, but it was useless. Paul built the church in Corinth for a year and a half, and after he left, the Corinthian church was still a group of carnal people.

For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. (Hebrews 5:12-14)

I deeply feel Paul's distress over this, so I thought of a way to let everyone grow up continuously in doing practical things, because only in doing things can you know if you are engaging in fraud. If you only know how to fool people, you will just happen to kick my iron plate, and you will not be able to fool me any further. I can be regarded as the founder of the anti-fool hotline. When I was in my thirties, I saw my colleagues of the same level fooling the boss as soon as they had a meeting. After I sat in the boss's position, those employees could not fool me either. As soon as they told me that they were very busy, I knew that they had not done it right, so I began to train them.

Therefore, being filled with the Holy Spirit is only the beginning. Peter thought that being filled with the Holy Spirit was salvation, but this is a misconception. In this chapter, I will analyse one by one the several misconceptions that Peter fell into, so as to prevent everyone from falling into them as well. I am telling this according to the teachings of the Apostle Paul and Jesus Christ. Look at whether the things people do are what Jesus did. Never mind that Peter did not do it right at the beginning. God still gave him opportunities again and again. Our God is so gracious!

Peter's Misconception 1: Prophecy, Visions, and Dreams

And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. Then they were all amazed and marvelled, saying to one another, Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs--we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.' So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, 'Whatever could this mean?' Others mocking said, 'They are full of new wine.' (Acts 2:5-13)

As soon as Peter came up, everyone was praying loudly in tongues, which looked very good. The people around them flocked to it, some falling forward and backward, some staggering, and some doing all sorts of things, which felt very good. Then Peter asked everyone to be quiet and began to preach.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy. I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapour of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Acts 2:17-21)

Here, prophecy, visions, and dreams appear. In the past, when I was a cell group leader in the local church, the pastor especially liked to see visions, have dreams, and speak prophecies. One of our cell group members was so poor that he was penniless. Once, he borrowed money to follow the pastor to Taiwan to see visions, and cried to me when he came back that the money was gone and he had not seen a single vision. There were many such things. Someone who had arthritis and was in pain all over came to me to lead him in prayer, and as a result, the arthritis was cured.

However, one day he inexplicably left the church. When I asked, I found out that a prophet next to his house had told him to be careful of me. If that person was really a prophet, why did he not cure his arthritis earlier? I led him to be cured, but he went back to listen to the prophet's words. Therefore, visions, prophecies, dreams, and being filled with the Holy Spirit have become metaphysics. Some people's visions are even more outrageous, and all sorts of messy things have become visions and dreams.

People need visions, and we declare our visions every Sunday as well. Later, I found that there were many things in the church that were messed up by seeing visions, speaking prophecies, and having dreams, and Peter almost fell into this misconception as well. In fact, having prophecy, visions, dreams, and being filled with the Holy Spirit can never replace being filled with the knowledge of God in one's understanding! If you want to pursue something, pursue being filled with the knowledge of God in your understanding. If you only see visions and have dreams, but know nothing about the word of God, it is better to go back and read God's word well.

Many evangelicals criticise charismatic churches for engaging in these messy things. As you know, we are much better at healing the sick and casting out demons than many charismatic churches, because we pursue living like Jesus. Ordinary evangelical churches do not read the Bible as well as we do, because we do not pursue prophecy, visions, and dreams, nor do we pursue metaphysics. We pursue being filled with the knowledge of God, and being like Jesus. If you are not like Jesus, do not talk about these useless things.

What did Jesus do? First, he performed miracles, using great power to prove that he was the Son of God. Second, he trained disciples to build the body of Jesus Christ. Having prophecy, visions, dreams, and being filled with the Holy Spirit is being born again and saved. Have you ever heard this saying? We do not talk about the matter of being born again and saved, because we are still far from being born again and saved. No matter how you look at it, we are still carnal people. Let us first put to death the evil deeds of the flesh. Everyone knows how difficult it is to put the flesh to death. The work of the Holy Spirit is to put to death the evil habits of the flesh. When the Holy Spirit descends on us, we will receive the power to put to death the lusts of the flesh. Sometimes, after it is put to death, it is resurrected again, not a resurrection in the spirit, but a resurrection of the flesh.

Peter's discourse later became a misconception for many farmers building churches. At that time, the Spirit of God was moving in the land of China. There were churches in many villages, and there were also many miracles and wonders. At the same time, many people fell into the misconceptions that Peter fell into, especially the charismatic churches, and eventually they all got into evil ways. When you go in, it looks like a place for multi-level marketing, because they cannot know God in their understanding, and they treat being filled with the Holy Spirit as metaphysics. Up to now, among some of the people I have come into contact with, there are still many who believe that whoever calls on the name of the Lord will surely be saved.

Everyone slowly ponders this concept of salvation, which is inseparable from Peter's things. There is a big gap between Peter's concept of salvation and the Apostle Paul's concept of salvation. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will surely be saved, which sounds like it is in accordance with the words in the Old Testament, but calling on the name of the Lord is for a lifetime. God will surely be our strength and help us put to death the evil deeds of the flesh. A carnal person cannot please God. A carnal person is naturally an enemy of God. What salvation is there? Therefore, whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved is a very long process. But many people, when they read this, think that they are saved as soon as they call on the name of the Lord.

Some time ago, I was invited to street evangelism, and I always seize these opportunities to take my colleagues to observe how they do it. The person who invited me gave me a small piece of paper, with the task of leading people in prayer to acknowledge Jesus as their Saviour. Afterwards, he asked me how many had salvation, meaning how many were saved. I said: two. But in my heart, I did not quite agree.

The concept of salvation starts here, but the letters of the Apostle Paul do not say it this way. Paul said in his letters: we believe we are near salvation. This process of salvation is very long. The process of mortifying the evil deeds of the body and its passions and desires is arduous. Finally, the Holy Spirit descends upon us, which is measured by the standard of whether we are like Jesus.

Peter's Second Misconception: The Misconception of Salvation

Many people think that once the Holy Spirit descends and you receive it, you are saved. Everyone should have heard of being born again and saved. Many people say they are born-again Christians. The concept of being born again is a great mystery. We do not talk about this much among us. Some people often say that so-and-so was born again and saved in such-and-such year and month, but our concept of salvation is completely irreconcilable with their concept of salvation.

Some people think that they will go to heaven after they die, even if they have done many bad things. Some Christians do a lot of bad things, repent as soon as they are done, and then go out and continue doing them, going back and forth like this. Some non-Christian friends told me: your Christians are not as devout as Buddhists. He thought I would argue with him, but my answer was: you are absolutely right, I think so too.

Peter talked a lot to prove that Jesus Christ is Lord, as if he already understood it very well, and accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord. But I saw that there were still many private plots, all reserved for himself, not very much like God. In fact, Peter went everywhere to argue that Jesus Christ is Lord, but the work of the Holy Spirit is to empower us to be witnesses for Jesus. Use the evidential power of the Holy Spirit to let your faith not be established on the wise and persuasive words of men, but on the foundation of the power of the Holy Spirit. The interval between Passover and Pentecost is about ten or eight days. Everyone was still talking about the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus when the Holy Spirit descended on Pentecost. Peter preached a sermon, and everyone felt pierced to the heart.

When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:37-38)

Peter thought this was everything, but if this were everything, it would be ruined. This is not the theological system of the Apostle Paul at all, and a lot of people were touched after hearing it and got baptised on impulse.

With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. (Acts 2:40-41)

Luke wrote sarcastically that about three thousand people were added to the disciples that day. Are these three thousand people disciples? I don’t think they can even be counted as believers. To what level has this lowered the standard of Jesus Christ for disciples? Luke recorded what they said at the time, that if you are pricked in the heart and baptized, you become a disciple. However, among us, after listening to my sermon, if you are pricked in the heart and baptized, after all these years with me, you still do not look like a disciple.

Over the years, I have tried my best to help them deal with the flesh, but they are still the same. Did Peter forget what Jesus said? If you cannot forsake your parents, wife, children, fields, and houses for the sake of the Lord Jesus, you are not worthy to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. Why did Peter think he would have three thousand disciples all of a sudden?

In fact, this passage has pained me for a long time, because our church had high demands from the beginning. If I were to build that kind of lousy church, I would rather not build it. Now you know my logic, right? What Jesus wants is definitely not a bunch of lousy people. Now we are good, and in our church, some people may not even be qualified to give offerings. Don't think that giving offerings will save you. If so, you can only be Peter's disciple. Don't be my disciple, and don't be a disciple of Jesus Christ.

The standard for being a disciple of Jesus Christ is very high. I didn't dare to say the number of three thousand disciples when I first established the church. I only asked the Lord Jesus for one hundred and twenty elite soldiers. After asking year after year, not to mention three thousand, even these one hundred and twenty are hard to come by, and it is very difficult. Later, I discovered that the 144,000 people in Revelation are really too difficult to find. So don't think that once you are baptized, you become a disciple. This is not the word of God, but the word of Peter. This is how Peter made the church worse little by little.

There are churches in Korea with 800,000 people, and churches with 100,000 people, with their branches in 140 countries. All the branches sent people to Korea, with 300,000 people from the branches in various countries, holding flags of various countries, like the opening of the Olympic Games. That pastor is so glorious, but I don’t want this title. I will just follow the logic of the Apostle Paul and the teachings of Jesus Christ to properly implement the word of God. In fact, whether it is building a church or a company, it is impossible to move forward with a group of lousy people. It can only get worse and worse because the standard is too low.

So, if the brothers and sisters among us want to start a business or join a good company, you better not be Peter, that would be a tragedy. After arguing that Jesus Christ is Lord, so what? What is the point of arguing it? According to the standards of Jesus Christ, it is all nonsense. Jesus fed five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fish. Jesus is not like Peter, but immediately screened these thousands of people and sifted out the treasures. In fact, Jesus had already told them how to do it, but they just didn’t listen.

The theological system of the Apostle Paul is near salvation and striving to pursue it. Peter, Apollos, or John the Baptist, they are all arguing that Jesus Christ is Lord. But the Apostle Paul truly regarded Jesus Christ as the real Lord, which is completely different from them. There is no change whether you have argued it or not. If you truly regard Jesus as the Lord, you will implement the words of Jesus Christ one by one, and that is incredible. I received the teaching of an old pastor early on. He told me to be self-sufficient, train well, pray, and study the scriptures. I dare say that I have implemented these things the best.

The reason is simple: that's what I do. I just want to implement it according to the words of the Bible. The fact that I can tell you about the mistake that the Apostle Peter fell into shows that I have a clear understanding of the theology of the Apostle Paul. Our Chinese Mingding Destiny is actually the theology of Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul. Don’t think that receiving the Holy Spirit means receiving everything. What we want to do is to be disciples of Jesus Christ.

Peter's Third Misconception: Breaking Bread, Praying, and Eating

Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts (Acts 2:46)

Everyone sells their property and then gathers together to eat. Is this making disciples or feeding rice buckets? On the surface, they look happy eating, breaking bread and praying all day long, but if you listen carefully, something is wrong. All things in common, communicating with each other, breaking bread and praying, eating with joyful and sincere hearts? After Luke wrote these things, many people thought they were good, and many people followed this model. Later, they found out that the communal pot is not good; it breeds laziness. Everyone is too lazy to work, only knows how to eat and then defecate. Is this the intention of Jesus Christ?

If this is what should be done, Jesus would have done it long ago. There is no need for Peter to invent the people's commune which feeds a group of lazy people. If Jesus Christ did not do this, then we should not do it. The logic is actually very simple. Paul did not do this either. He implemented the principle that if you don't work, you don't eat. These things invented by Peter are very strange. Some people sell their fields and properties, and all things are in common, and then eat in them. They don’t create any value and they are still happy eating and having fun.

Some time ago, someone said they wanted to leave the church because they didn’t like me pushing everyone to work. I said that working can make you happy and alive; that is what the Bible says. People were worried about being brainwashed by me, because they don't like to work, they just like to play. They are happy when they play, and uncomfortable when they are forced to work, so they left the church.

I don’t take everyone to eat, drink, and have fun. If you want to, you can go to the church built by Peter, don’t come to our church again. But this reminded me: don’t come here to see me again, and let me accompany you to play. In the future, anyone who wants to come here to play can arrange it themselves. As for those who come here, you must first explain to me the purpose of your coming and what you want to learn. If you don’t learn anything, just go to a hotel and pretend that everyone doesn’t know. If you are here for tourism, this is not suitable. This place is only suitable for work.

Everyone should know that this kind of breaking bread and praying is a misconception. Luke does not express his own views when writing these things, and people who read this still think these things are good. In fact, you only realize that it is wrong to do so after reading the Book of Acts. As a result, many people followed Peter's misconceptions, imitating prophecy, dreams, visions, salvation, proving that Jesus Christ is Lord, breaking bread and praying, and eating with joy and sincerity. Until now, many churches are still immersed in joyful eating, drinking, and having fun. This phenomenon comes from here, and it is still very common. I also did this before, and it caused many problems.

praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. (Acts 2:47)

Luke truthfully recorded the views and opinions of the people at that time. Later, the church was filled with Pharisees and infighting, and there was no way to move forward. In that place, as soon as you deal with people's flesh, people show their teeth like beasts. Everyone is happy eating and drinking, but everyone is frowning when working. How can we build a glorious church of God by doing this?

Once a pastor came to me and asked me to help them build a website for their church. I asked him why so many people in the church didn’t do it themselves. He said: No one is doing it. The people in our church who like to eat, drink and have fun happened to go to that pastor's church. I described this kind of church as a pastor who indulges the flesh, leading a group of Christians who indulge the flesh to death. Therefore, everyone must have a deep understanding of the dangers of this misconception.

The so-called salvation is what they think is salvation, which is still far away from true salvation. As soon as you deal with their flesh, they will immediately show their teeth. They are good at eating, drinking, and having fun, but they are nothing when it comes to working, creating value, training, cultivating people, and dealing with people's flesh. Later, the book of Galatians mentioned that Peter was pretending, and everything he did in his life was fake. Therefore, brothers and sisters, when you come among us, I serve you with authenticity, but if you play fake, then I will play fake with you too.

I will also say: Sister, Jesus loves you, and I love you too! In fact, I just treat you like garbage. If you are our colleague, I will also teach you when to tell the truth and when not to tell the truth. Do you really think I am so stupid to pastor a group of ingrates and weasels? When I pastor God's sheep, I can tell at a glance that this is a wolf in sheep's clothing. You think you can fool me here, but you can't. The reason is simple: you come here all day long and shout hallelujah, eating with joyful and sincere hearts to fool me, but I will definitely push you into true service.

Must Be Filled with the Knowledge of God in Understanding

You don’t need to read anything else, just read the teachings of Jesus Christ. If you read the teachings of Jesus Christ, you can always read the four Gospels, right? Implement them well, and compare them with Peter’s practices, and you will know that these things are nonsense. This is not called building a church, but building a club. I push you to do practical things, enter into service, and train your ability to pastor people and do practical things, even if some people are not qualified to love God, they are still trained. We must come out of these misconceptions and understand the word of God in understanding.

The church built by a scholar like me is not at the same level as the one built by a dunce. We need to study these things thoroughly and understand God’s will clearly. We need to transform the concepts of salvation and the gospel, so Chinese Mingding Destiny will bring about a Christian revolution in the days to come, removing these garbage in the faith, because that is not the teaching of Jesus Christ at all, and it is not the teaching of the Apostle Paul at all. Although this revolution seems like a spark now, a spark can start a prairie fire. This fire will definitely burn, because that is God's will. It is not that difficult to understand God's word and be filled with the knowledge of God in understanding.

Everyone should start following what I said. Don't think that this passage is praising the Apostle Peter and those people for doing the right thing, but it is recording everything they did. That was not what Jesus Christ did, but Peter’s own invention. A person who indulges the flesh will definitely build a church that indulges the flesh, and a pastor who deals with the flesh will definitely build a church that deals with the flesh, because that is the will of God. According to my fleshly desires, I would not do this, but I have chosen to serve God, so I will implement it according to God's will.

I excavated this history to encourage everyone again to be a person who knows God in understanding, otherwise, you cannot pastor. From now on, everyone must be determined to follow the path that Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul took, because we imitate the Apostle Paul, and we imitate Jesus Christ very frankly. I hope I have explained it clearly, and you have all understood it. On this path of sanctification, on our path of striving to come before God, on the path to the promised land, there are corpses everywhere, which is scary to see. We must adjust our mentality and be people who are pleasing to God.

May God bless everyone!
