How the post-apostolic church came to keep the wrong apostle — exalting Peter, whom Scripture never made its head, while forsaking Paul. Two departures, the rise of the apostate church, what became of Israel's believing remnant, and the test that still exposes another gospel.

The Israel of God in Galatians 6:16 is not the Body of Christ replacing Israel. It is the faithful Jewish remnant who embraced Paul's gospel and now walk according to the new-creature rule with a heavenly calling. This article traces the two programs running side by side and how God keeps both intact.
