Subject: Paul our pattern to follow, not Jesus? |
Bible Note: Actually, I’m hoping it goes nowhere, where it should go. I simply asked Bereaniam to reconcile his statement that Jesus kept all 613 of the Jewish laws in light of the facts that He took no wife and touched and was touched by things considered unclean, which he has not yet accomplished. Christ fulfilled God’s Law, this I know, but of the 613 referenced by Bereaniam, how many are man’s law in which God’s words were twisted and contorted. I do not believe God would have to live by or even yet, fulfill man’s law. Do you? I see the great Apostle Paul being placed upon a pedestal in which he himself probably would have rebuked us for. Since the Holy Spirit inspired the words that Paul penned they require adherence, but to claim we are to follow Paul over Christ? I’ll follow the author of my salvation. The minute Paul can save my soul, I’ll reconsider. Based on the following, I find it hard to understand how one can claim we should be following a servant and not the Master. Granted, Paul was called by Christ Himself and if I could live my life as Paul did, I’d be doing something. I think to live as Christ would be even more. But I missed where God told us that Paul “saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” 1Corinthians 1:10-17: 10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; 15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. 16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. 17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. John 13:13-16: 13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. Matthew 10:24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. Ephesians 5:1,2: 1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour. Philippians 2:5-8: 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
