“The early church had times of food and fellowship much as we do today, and it seems that these times were called “love feasts.” Eating together is mentioned in 1 Corinthians 11:21 (as part of a rebuke to the believers in Corinth) and in 2 Peter 2:13 (as part of a rebuke to false teachers). In Jude 1:12, the meals are specifically called “love feasts”—again, the context is that of rebuking false teachers. The KJV says “feasts of charity” in Jude 1:12; the NLT has “fellowship meals”; most other translations put “love feasts.” Around AD 90 Pliny the Younger in To Trajan, Book 10, Letter 97 notes that the love feast was common among Christians in Rome. Ignatius of Antioch (a disciple of John’s), around the same time period, mentions the love feast in his letter to the Smyrnaeans.”-compellingtruth.org

Related: Was Saul or Peter Gay?
These two bickered with each other like two old women in an Italian kitchen. What was it all about? We all know Saul, later renamed to Paul, was about as Jewish as you can get. He killed the first Christian martyr, Stephen, an early Church believer with the face of an angel.
His last words were “Lord Jesus, please do not hold this sin against them!”-as they stoned him to death, with Saul’s approval.
Saul later ended up blinded by Jesus on the road to Damascus. Peter never faced such trials. However, the Jews did martyr him eventually also, on an upside-down cross.
Peter socialized with the Jews, ate and drank with them… but when Paul got back, he knew he was in trouble. So, Paul said to institute a religion of apartheid between Christians and Jews.
