you are to follow paul sure, im telling you this : Paul was telling you follow Jesus, and follow Me paul, i follow Jesus, Jesus is the Lord, the son of God. paul was saying " i make it my goal to please God in every way" " Jesus said "my food is to do the will of God who sent me" this is what im saying Paul explains what He looks like, He is like david apaul was afterthe heart of jesus who died for Him amd Gave himself for Him, Paul wanted AND taught, to give OUR life back to Jesus, or we arent following " the spirit" Paul " for we are convinced that one died for all, so all died, that they who remained alive should no longer Live for themselves, but for Him who died for them" Paul taught many things and not simply Him crucified...But first He taught CHRIST and also Him crucified <<<< Jesus gave the official "doctrine" of the church for all of eternity because Like God PAUL SAYS " The Son is the image of the invisable God,.....Holding all things together by His powerful word, He says that His words matter greatly again and again and this of He who died such a terrible death to set US free of the Laws that testified against us, and produced death.....Jesus Gave the Laws of the spirit that bring Life. "Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever"
Paul " All that maters is faith EXPRESSING ITSELF THROUGH LOVE"
Jesus " obey my commands, My command is this, that you Love one another AS I have Loved YOU."
John " this is infact Love for God, to Love Him and KEEP His commands that are not a burden"
Paul "the grace of God hath appeared that brings salvation to all men.....it teaches us to "repent" and "Live right before God"
Paul " do you not realize you are slaves to the one you obey? whether sin which leads to death, or to obedience which leads to righteousness?"
Jesus " anyone who sins is a slave to sin"
Paul the wages of sin is death
Jesus " if you do not repent you too will all perish"
2John" anyone who does not remain in the doctrine of Jesus Christ, Has not father or son" and also " he that remaineth in the doctrine of Christ hath both father and son.
Jesus " anyone who hears my words and Keeps them ( keep= believe, trust, accept, have faith in, practice them) is like a wise man who builds a house upon a solid foundation, His house will stand the storms and crashing waves. yet the one who hears them and rejects them not believing them they will build upon no foundation and the storm will destroy thier " house"
specifically the words of the guy who suffered so much who will not take his word for things? How do we Love Jesus, Keep our "eyes" fixed on Him" " be like Him in this world" " now His will? know His mind? Know His Love or Know anything unless we HEAR it not with physical ears but with the spirit of Jesus<<<spirit of jesus the spirit in His doctrine that somes through His words. to our minds, and from Gods throne its source sent because Jesus said He would send the spirit. the same Jesus that aleays says " keep my words, learn my teachings. follow my ways" keep my commands" the spirit will remind you of all i said to you"......ect..ect.
Jesus " anyone who sins, is a slaves to sin...anyone who keeps my words will know the truth, and the truth will set them free, ( the spirit of truth that will remind us of all Jesus said to His disciples THEN.
Paul you must put off the flesh and mortify its deeds of death, and clothe yourself with Christ"
Paul was always teaching Jesus' Gospel, but grace belief omits it, i suppose in the end......well all see when we kneel before the Judgement that Jesus said will be according to what we have done, like paul says as well of Love and right Living through repentance.
Jesus was SPIT ON, Mocked, laughed at, made a public spectacle of, treated as a common criminal, He was betrayed by His disciple, deserted by his friends, beaten and mocked ( Our Savior Mind you) first by the priests and elders of the mosaic Law, then By the gentile roman Soldiers. He was then scourged brutally. Had a crown of thorns placed upon His Head Mocked and then later stripped in public that he bore our shame for they cast Lots for his clothing as He died. He was falsely accused, crucified insulted shed His blood and suffocated after hours on the cross. He submitted to the slaughter because WE the entire world of Human beings are dead for eternity without Hi, He Loves Us enough to do that because God Loves us That Much, so Does Jesus who is His holy One, His perfect Image made flesh so that we can see God through Jesus.....why then are we not to take His words for things is my issue and question? ( Was PAUL CRUCIFIED FOR YOU? or was pauls message Jesus christ died for you, NOW YOU ARE TO LIVE FOR HIM. <<<<thats NOT the grace that is popular, but you live for Jesus by faith expressed through submission to His will, because His will is Gods will expressed through His One and only perfect Son. He is the One its "Jesus" who will ever, EVER be the one who is Lord. the prophets of old were proclaiming " Jesus is coming, Jesus is coming, the savior, the King, the wine who will bring the covenant of peace, the one who will save us from the terror of the Laws condemnation the promise of eternal life would come through Jesus, thats what the old testament is : why we need Jesus, and a promise From God Himself that He will send Jesus to save those who will believe in Him above all because God has said very clearly, and without hesitation or need for interpretation that Jesus Christ, IS the Lord of Lords and King of kings and there is never a moment when He will not be in complete authority through His word, He is the only way to Know God His Father, His God and our God, His Father and Our Father.
