God appeared--God told Paul, according to him,
-
"Go to Jerusalem."
-
He didn't go because the Jerusalem authorities said,
-
"We need to check you out
-
and see if it's ok you go to come to Jerusalem."
-
this was not a command performance he's insisting.
-
I laid before them (though only in private meeting with the
-
acknowledged leaders), the Gospel that I proclaim
-
among the Gentiles, in order to make sure that I
-
was not running or had not run in vain.
-
But even Titus, who was with me was not
-
compelled to be circumcised, though he was a Greek.
