IS IT REALLY APOSTLE PAUL VS JESUS? #TOLD
Q: Why is there so much confusion and instability concerning the writings of Paul vs the teachings of Jesus?
A: Great Question! The greatest example of confusion is that many people read Paul’s writings, and assume that the 10 Commandments don’t apply to Christians.
However that is completely and totally wrong to pit Apostle Paul against Jesus, or to pit the Father against the Son of God as if they aren’t One in Unity.
2 Peter 3:16
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
Galatians 2:8
(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles🙂
- Paul was speaking mainly to a different audience. He was bringing the gospel to a different culture and language than Hebrew. He spoke Greek and preached the gospel of Jesus Christ to a Greco-Roman audience.
- He added his opinion in certain places, but was careful to distinguish between His Word and Gods Word. (1 Corinthians 7:6,10, 12)
- His communication style was difficult at times. While most prophets and apostles were simple working-class men; Paul was well learned, educated, and came from an elite religious sect. He tended to used more wordiness. He also brought deep revelations that were sometimes hard to be understood.
- On harder issues, you must use Jesus’s and the other Apostles teachings and actions to determine what Paul really meant. The rule is: “Jesus agrees with the Father. The Holy Spirit agrees with Jesus. The Apostles and Prophets agree with the Holy Spirit.”
- Therefore, the most trustworthy interpretation technique is to use them to interpret each other. You also have to check the Torah and Prophets that Paul directly quoted from the OT to see meaning behind Paul’s writings. The greatest interpretation rule is to “Use Scripture to Interpret Scripture.”
This is why so many Roman Catholic and Denominational influenced believers remain unlearned and unstable. Even a lot of Atheistic Skeptics, Talmudic Jews, and Israelite Judaizers use Paul as their excuse for their rebellion against truth.
They don’t realize that you have to interpret Paul, Peter, and the Apostles thru the Words of Jesus, and that Jesus was one with the Father. Unity is the greatest interpretation tool for the Scriptures.
