This makes so much sense! That last paragraph...that makes complete sense to me. Thank you. Maybe I'll sleep tonite...thanks again. I'm gonna have my dad read what you wrote. Maybe then he can quit this Paul hating. |

2 | What of Paul | 1 Cor 1:1 | aflowr4u | 76738 | ||
Thank you very much. I do and have seen the parallels. I've never questioned Paul in my whole life until the past couple months. Luke has always been my very favorite, but my dad kept pointing out Luke wrote Acts, and that never bothered me until I started worrying about Paul. I think I do remember reading in John something about whoever is for us is not against us? I'll email you for the Romans deal when I have more time. Thank you so much. |

3 | What of Paul | 1 Cor 1:1 | aflowr4u | 76737 | ||
I am a Christian and I have placed my faith in Jesus. If He were not in my heart, I would not study to try to understand and know more about Him. I believe the bible is the word. I realize it is written and interpreted in various different versions...some containing different books than others...and some books that aren't in any at all but maybe should be...BUT I don't reject it. |

4 | What of Paul | Not Specified | aflowr4u | 76717 | ||
Hi, This is my first time posting here, so let me introduce myself. I'm Julie, a 30 or so married mother and housewife. I claim no denomination. I call myself a Christian. I'm confused about Paul. For the last 20 years my dad has been telling me that Paul is the false teacher. I never paid much attention, until the other day I read Matthew and John, and then I read Acts...and all of a sudden I could see what my dad's been harping on all these years. There's something not right with Paul. Who is Paul, Saul, Apollos? He said he was a Pharisee, but then he said he's a Jew, but then he said he's a Roman...it seems like he said whatever was convenient for him. He didn't know Jesus on the human level, never met him. He watched Stephen be stoned, held the coats of the men who threw the stones. He killed and imprisoned the followers of The Way, which are Jesus original 12 disciples and the people who follow. And all of a sudden he's performing miracles or is it magic? He says he has all the powers of Jesus and all the knowledge of heaven. Where in the bible, save for the works of Paul, does it ever mention anything about a Paul? It does say to beware the false teachers and false prophets. It seems that he's tooting his own horn. And his teachings differ slightly from Jesus' teachings, but different enough to notice. Paul teaches faith without works. That as long as you have faith in Jesus you're saved and you don't have to do anything else because your sins are already taken care of so don't worry about it just party on dude, and believe. James taught that faith without works is dead. If we have faith in Jesus, and love Him, I believe we should show it with works. Like, obeying the 10 commandments, and the one Jesus gave us which was to love your brother more than yourself. The devil believes in Jesus, too. Does that mean he's saved? Nope. Because his works are evil. Jesus says that we can know them by their fruit. That must mean by their works. I don't mean to make anyone mad here. I don't know what to believe about Paul for sure. I am losing a lot of sleep trying to figure all this out. I don't want to follow the wrong path. Every church I've ever been to teaches right off of Paul's writings more than any other writings...and I'm wondering about the narrow gate and the wide gate, and us sheep being led to slaughter by a false teacher and I don't want to be one of those poor little unfortunate lambs. Thanks for taking to time to help. |
