Bible Question:
Why does Paul seem to distinguish so clearly between what the Lord commands and what he himself has to say? If Paul intends to make a distinction between levels of authority, what are the implications of that distinction for the authority Christ's saying on earth, relative to Paul's letters? Do we need to compare all of Paul's writings in light of Jesus' teaching in the Gospels and elevate those parts of his letters which are clear by Jesus taught them above those which are clearly the product of Paul's thought? |
Bible Answer: "Do we need to compare all of Paul's writings in light of Jesus' teaching in the Gospels and elevate those parts of his letters which are clear by Jesus taught them above those which are clearly the product of Paul's thought? My answer is: No. If the above were true, then it would indicate that not all parts of the Bible are equally inspired, which is certainly not true. Every part of the Bible is as equally inspired as every other part. If people want to read 99 percent opinion and one percent Scripture, they can always go to StudyBibleForum.com |
