The Odyssey of St. Paul - Season 1 Episode 4 Quarrels and The Second Mission Journey
Besides their successes, early Christians also had problems: squabbles, petty jealousies, economic hardship, and particularly a great doctrinal dispute. The "Judaizers" -- strict Jewish Christians who demanded that Gentiles had to become Jews en route to Christianity -- opposed Paul and Barnabas for admitting Gentiles into the church directly. The church at Antioch sent Paul, Barnabas, and Titus to Jerusalem to consult with the apostles on this issue. Peter supported Paul admirably, and the Jerusalem (or Apostolic) Council came down on the side of the Gospel -- a decision that had enormous consequences for the future. Still the Judaizers did not give up, but sent a delegation to Antioch which polarized the church there and made even Peter and Barnabas stumble. After Paul set them straight, he and Barnabas had a row over whether to take Mark along on the contemplated second mission journey.
