I think Paul was right
Acts 15
This was a tough mission. His second missionary journey was already proving difficult with abuse and stonings etc. he didn’t need John leaving him.
This was a mission needing perseverance. It was Jesus who said don’t put your hand to the plough and then look back.
This was a mission that received support. In v40 good people from the church at Antioch were endorsing Paul.
Paul was right not to take John Mark, this was a tough mission, a mission calling for perseverance and it seemed plenty people supported him.
He should have been listened to.

I think Barnabas was right.
He had invested so much in Paul. He had introduced Paul to the apostles. He had travelled to Tarsus to then open the door for Paul to preach. He had stepped aside to let Paul become the leader of the missions journey even though he had originally been the leader.
He believed in God’s grace. He believed in the God of the second chance.
He should have been listened to.

Paul was right. Barnabas was right.
The worst of arguments happen when both people are right.
You can be so right, the holder of the truth, justified before God and men. Yet how you handle the truth, how you conduct yourself with that truth will determine whether you remain in the right.
