1 | Paul our pattern to follow, not Jesus? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Bereaniam | 169525 | ||
Since Paul, the apostle said: "my gospel" will judge the secrets of men hearts; follow me as I follow Christ; the things that you have learned, received, heard, and seen in me do, you DO; Paul said I am your pattern to follow, and since the gospel was given to Paul to us Gentiles straight from Jesus (Paul said no man taught him "my gospel"), doesn't those scriptures tell us (Gentiles) that the scriptures Paul wrote (Romans - Hebrews) should govern and guide us in our Christian walk? Paul reiterates many old covenant principles and all of the ten commandments in his epistles except for the 4th(Sabbath). Though Paul said to follow him as he follows Christ, I do not believe Paul means Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus of Nazareth was born under the law Gal 4. I believe Paul means the resurrected Christ who said he had a more excellent ministry. Bereaniam |

2 | Paul our pattern to follow, not Jesus? | 2 Tim 3:16 | charis | 169606 | ||
Dear Bereaniam, Greetings in the name of Jesus! Long time, no post, but... After reading the many and various answers to your question and your subsequent posts, I can't help but state the obvious... "...for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake." 1 Thessalonians 1:5 NASB If any Christian is relying only on personal interpretation of Scripture, then they will inevitably have a bias. Every denomination or other form of division I know of is biased in this manner. The work of the Holy Spirit is to bring us beyond personal understanding of what we read, or even the preached word. "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." John 14:26 NASB I think the main question is if we are taught of the Holy Spirit or not! In Christ Jesus, charis |
