Going back to the OP. The only difference between Peter and Paul is that Peter was asked to convert and minster primarily to the Jews in Israel and Paul was asked to convert and minister primarily to the Gentiles in the then known world.

Right. So what's the problem?

Are we talking about keeping laws, or observing feast days and such?

Because, it is clear that Gentiles were not commanded to do any such thing, but also not forbidden to if they wished.

Midacts fixes a problem that I don't think exists.

Jesus knew there’d come a time he would be the High Priest and sacrificial Lamb, eliminating the necessity of the Levitical priesthood with their high priest and sacrifices. Jesus did not divulge everything at once during his ministry. He spoke to the Jews encouraging them to get back to the Mosaic Law, rather than the traditions of men, in preparation for receiving the Spirit, so that they could be the great beacon of light of salvation to the nations spoken of by the OT prophets. The Twelve continued with that same message. Had the majority of the nation repented, we would have seen the nations seeking God through them rather than Paul having to go out to the nations. The stubbornness of Israel didn’t stop God’s plan to share salvation with the nations. And while Paul did his thing, God allowed the temple to stand for 40 years so that as many local Jews as possible could come to faith in Jesus.

I will tell you what it is. You have reconciled yourself after looking at the the problem. He looks at it, and says he is ok, he loves his brother and that is a fruit of the Spirit.

You looked at the problem (the law) and were honest with yourself at some point. The Holy Spirit convicts nonbelievers in their heart, that is what the law does. You paid heed, he tries to justify himself.
