    Paul was preaching the same Gospel, confirmed by the Apostles, the teachings of Paul and Jesus do not contradict each other. Enough of this false teaching.

      @@myeyepie That’s called legalism…. The whole point of Jesus was to break legalism.. Paul teaches about grace, forgiveness, and love. Following Jesus means denying yourself daily and following Him. We sorta gotta need to know how to deny ourselves in our Christian walk… Hence Paul’s letters. It’s really not that hard to understand 💀

      So many on earth follow, "saints", anointed by neighbors due to the complete lack of knowledge of Rome's history with Jesus hundreds of years later through the formation of the bible and all of God's history as told by Man and the early Rome churches and their people-bake ovens, crusades, "chosen ones", etc.
      Most people on earth haven't read their own religious text, "Which one is right or wrong, etc, isn't the point I'm making here", and just follow whomever demands they speak for God at the head of their, "Church". Most just end up following whomever suits their personal desires then call That God.

    Between 1946 and 1960, my parents had about six pastors, all of whom were accustomed to a lay elder or deacon or deaconess reading a scripture passage before the sermon and then preaching “from” that passage. They would often quote other passages as well but the theme of the message was the theme of the text that had been read before the sermon.
    Since then, I have attended the services of congregations that are accustomed to a lay person reading a passage from the Psalms and a passage from the Epistles and then the Pastor reading a passage from the Gospels and then preaching “from” (i.e. on the topic of) that passage.
    I’ve also encountered pastors who prefer to read the morning scripture passage themselves - but as part of the sermon instead of before the sermon. This is just my impression but such pastors seem to find it difficult to read more than one or two verses without inserting their own commentary into the text.
    In 1958, I announced that I had decided to subscribe to what I called, “the principle of prior reference” - the principle that anything purported to be special revelation should be evaluated and interpreted by earlier revelation.
    I realize my “principle of prior reference” is the opposite of what most clergy do - which is to (in their words), “interpret the Old Testament through the lens of the New (Testament).
    Sometimes what might appear to someone to be a contradiction is perceived by someone else as an enigma.
    Bottom line: If I could be persuaded that Jesus contradicted Moses, I would not have faith in Jesus. If I could be persuaded that Paul contradicted Jesus, I would not consider Paul’s epistles to be authoritative.

      Because Jesus hand chose Paul out of the whole world to write more than half the books of the NT and virtually all the chruch epistles to the Gentiles. The NT tells us this over and over and over again. Jesus hand chose Paul to be the Apostle to the Gentiles. We can't pretend to follow Jesus and then ignore the very person He chose to write such a large portion of His Word.

    • @Steltzzz
      @Steltzzz 4 місяці тому +6

      Oh idk, maybe because Jesus chose him to write all of these things and spread knowledge of Christ. Maybe also because almost the entirety of the NT is written by his hand, and if God is sovereign(he is), then God wanted it to be so.

      I think much of the controversy over Paul is that he brought in the gentiles to Christianity without having them become Jews through circumcision and observance of Jewish law.
      The first Christians were Jews and followed Jesus while also maintaining observance of the law. They wanted to make the law a requirement for gentiles to become Christians.
      I think that Paul states that the doctrine of Grace overrides the law.
      When Paul became a Christian he discovered that gentiles accepting the gospel were being annointed with the Spirit without knowledge of the law.
      Paul was very faithful and zealous for the law to the point that he persecuted Christians which he believed were perverting Judaism. He found the law kept him from becoming a Christian and felt it should not be imposed on the gentiles.

    You're correct about there being two gospels, but you're wrong about Paul! Jesus taught an earthly kingdom gospel to the jews and Paul taught the heavenly gospel of faith in Christ's finished works that justifies and saves us apart from the Law! Jesus's early ministry was to the Jews, (He came unto his own and they rejected Him) while Paul's was to the Gentiles. You simply don't have Christianity if you reject Paul's teaching. If you don't accept Paul's teaching then all you have is Christ's teaching of the totality of the law that says ..."Be as perfect as your father in heaven, nothing less will do!" If that's still true, then we're all doomed to hell, for there are ...No righteous no, not one! Those who have faith in Christ are made righteous by His works, not ours. Here's my challenge to you... You seem to agree with Peter's. So, then how do you reconcile that in his last book he instructs us to Listen to Paul, who tells us things "Hard to Understand?" 2 Peter 3:15-16

      Jesus spoke of practicing, teaching and perfecting the Way, and he also declared that even the apostles were not to call themselves teachers for Only Jesus is the teacher.
      You're right that, "christianity", is mainly Saul's teachings.
      But-
      They're Not Jesus's teachings. Not entirely. On dozens of things.
      ~
      You either accept that Jesus is the way and the light or not, and that all those who come after you'll know by the fruits. Fruits aren't works, they're results that come from the choices of a born again person. Are they like sheep or figs, or thorns and ravenous wolves?
      The sheep and the goats is a very easy to understand teaching of God through Jesus.
      ~
      PS: Nobody is to agree with Anyone but Jesus. He Truly was sent by God, I don't believe this, I know it. As for how many end up going to heaven, I don't know. I never pretend I'm good enough to go there yet I keep getting signs while discipling that God and Jesus are with me so I carry on.
      Pray for those who mistreat you, pray for those you love. Remember the 12 who failed to rebuke a demon and Jesus's words about faith and also his words on asking and you shall receive.
