How did the church at Antioch come into being if peter was in Jerusalem?
Acts 8
1. And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
So peter and the the apostles stayed in Jerusalem and didnt' create the church at Antioch.
Those same Christian Jews who left Jerusalem probaly also created the church in Rome without peter.
The church in Jerusalem sent Barnabas in Acts 11:22-25 to Antioch to see what was going on there because it was growing unlike the church in Jerusalem.
Barnabas was so impressed with the church at Antioch that he stayed and the first person he looked for was peter? Nope Paul Acts 11:25-26
Why not peter?
