Was Paul Really A False Apostle?

[chubbena]

In an earlier post in this thread, I referenced many verses which points to the fact that an "apostle" is to be a first-hand eyewitness of Messiah's life. It is also written that to hear them is to hear Messiah. Thus, "apostles" are held to a much higher standard. The commandment states that males must appear before Him in His presence. The idea that the "body" is believers, I believe is rooted in Paul's teachings. As for 2Pet 3:15, it could easily be punctuated "the longsuffering of our Master is salvation. Even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto hath written unto you, as also in all his epistles ..." Do you believe that there are false brothers? What was witnessed by Peter, specifically? I am saying obedience is integral to salvation. I'm not sure what you are referring to in Deu 10:16 & 30:6. I have no problem with Acts 15:13-21 ... James was reiterating that "Moses was preached in the synagogues every sabbath day" in v21. I see that to indicate that he expects new believers to learn the Law over time.

Without scripture to support, it's just your own definition of "apostle" and your own interpretation that apostles are held to a much higher standard. Yeshua Himself never set such high standard for the apostles.
His body is believers - Yeshua says: Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
Do you believe when Peter called Paul a beloved brother he identified him as a false brother?
Deu 10:16 & 30:6 - Did not Yahweh speak through Moses that one must circumcise the heart?
Acts 15 - did not James conclude that circumcision of the flesh does not apply to gentles?
I'm not sure why you are banned but hopefully you are able to read our replies and repent.

We trust not in the person of Paul but his writings.
Or do you think the writings of Matthew,Mark, Luke or John (four Gospels) are more inspired than of Paul's? Or is it ALL God's Word.

I do believe, more on the OT. regarding the NT, you were right when saying I do believe more in the "inspiration" of the four Gospel than Paul´s or the rest of those letters. Why? Because those witnesses were alive as long as His teachings. Besides, if I had to write about me, my personal insight can´t be less than that another person would say about my own life or "teachings". Same applies for Christ´s.

Paul was not false, people just use his writings erroneously and out of context.
