Paul's point about Peter's living as do the Gentiles had not been the actual diet issue.
Rather, that Peter's et al's "dissimulation" had reversed "the truth of the gospel" - that The Law had concluded "ALL under sin" and how that therefore "ALL" can only be "justified through the faith" (finished work) of Christ."
All - "even we Jews also" Paul had basically reminded them all that day - both Jews and Gentiles.
But Jews, they had rightly remained.
Peter et al, were of "the Israel of God" Paul later also wishes peace upon and on the justification basis.
Paul and his converts were not.
They...were of God's New Creature: the Body of Christ.
But perhaps we should take any further exploration of this issue over to the ECT forum, as this is not the place for a drawn out back and forth on this.
Rom. 5:8
Acts 17:11,12.
