Paul was very clear to state what he knew from Divine guidance and what was his own opinion where no Divine guidance was provided. He stated it and distinguished between the two.

Remember, even Jesus changed His opinion during His lifetime and ministry as He grew in understanding. Remember when He refused to heal the woman as she was not of His flock, until she asked if a dog were not worthy of the crumbs from his master’s table.

Both Peter and Paul were filled with the Holy Spirit, but they had disagreements about various topics.

If you understand how the human soul functions, then you can understand this whole question about why being single is better than being married and why husband & wife become one in the eyes of God. It’s easy to demonstrate.

Jesus summed his Father’s Will in a few words in His explanation of the “tares in the wheat” parable in Matthew 13. We are the good seeds planted here on earth to grow. Me, I’m just a farmer, trying to help souls grow.

Yes but that doesn't prove that he and Jesus disagreed.

Far more likely, Jesus delayed to obtain the answer he got.

So, Peter and Paul disagreed and Peter was corrected. I'm not aware that anyone has claimed that either man is inspired at all times but that their recorded words were inspired. Anyway, how does that prove that Jesus and Paul disagreed?

Really? Are you referring to Ephesians 5? Paul himself tells us in verse 32 that this is a great mystery. I'm glad that you can easily demonstrate this but if you are claiming something is easy that Paul describes as hard, I suspect that your understanding is faulty.

Jesus summed his Father’s Will in a few words in His explanation of the “tares in the wheat” parable in Matthew 13. We are the good seeds planted here on earth to grow. Me, I’m just a farmer, trying to help souls grow.

Unless you are having the gay community confront its sin, then you are raising tares and not wheat. It doesn't have to be confronted with hatred but it must be confronted nonetheless. The Bible, both Old and New Testament, is clear in its condemnation of homosexuality. It is clearly a forbidden practice.
