Well DUH!
Wait, why are talking about Paul? Peter had the vision. And he was supposedly a disciple of Jesus if I remember correctly.
I really doubt Jesus' Great Commission given in his resurrection body just before he floated up into the sky would have been a serious point of controversy!
teaearlgreyhot,
Jesus during His actual ministry did stuff which pious Jews found controversial. Peter and Paul both understood that Jesus was talking to EVERYONE.
Peter didnt need a vision about kosher and non-kosher to understand that the Gospel message was about love of neighbors - even if they werent Jewish. He already knew who Jesus meant by ''neighbor''. (See the Samaritan parable)
