What was the controversy at Antioch, the one that precipitated the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15? It was all about an ethnically divided fellowship space. It was about seating arrangements at the potluck. Before certain men from James arrived, Peter had been willing to share table fellowship with Gentile Christians. But after the false brothers arrived (James was not a false brother, but the men “from him” were), Peter withdrew from the Gentiles, and even Barnabas briefly did the same. So the problem was that Peter “withdrew,” doing so on the basis of ethnicity.

And that is when Paul showed us all what a lack of decorum at a church function should really look like.
