1. I did not find any place where Paul says Peter, James and John were preaching another gospel.
2. "Appears" is not the same as "only appears". too much large scale inference going on in that post.
3. Paul condemns the idea of "preaching another gospel" in Gal 1:6-9 ... but never accuses Peter, James and John of doing it.
4. Paul says "'the gospel was preached to Abraham" Gal 3:8, and was "preached to us just as it was to them also" Heb 4:2 speaking of OT Jews.
well I did quote it for you, the word dokeo means appear to be but are not in reality, just a mere appearance.
I also showed how in context Paul is literally saying they do not walk according to the truth of the gospel... see the bolded words? He even names Kepha/Peter by name, and before that there is a "their conduct"
14 But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all,
Galatians 2:4-14, " 4 Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery— 5 to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you. 6 And from those who seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed influential added nothing to me. 7 On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised 8 (for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles), 9 and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. 10 Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do. 11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. 13 And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
John 5:43, “I have come in My Father's Name, but you do not follow Me. Let another come in his own name; him you will follow.”
