It came to mind this morning that Paul was different... Paul's experience was not as an eye witness.... Obviously he had a strong experience prior to his conversion... but he had not seen the things that came to pass...
2 Peter 3
14Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 15And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16As also in all hisepistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they doalso the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18But grow in grace, and inthe knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

The truth is that there are new people viewing these threads all the time so - when the same topic comes up - I post what I believe to be truth through the Lord Jesus' Christ finished work on the cross and resurrection.
If this "offends" people because it "conflicts" with their beliefs and then they feel the need to malign others for it - so be it! The Lord is our refuge and Rock.
Isaiah 54:14-17 comes in play in these situations. All is well.
Keep walking on with the Lord that loves us deeply and has done great things for us all! We have a great salvation in Him! He will be faithful to all of us!

The OP of this thread demonstrates that Paul and Jesus Christ are in agreement.
It stresses how there are a lot of people, not understanding Paul, using his teachigns in correctly.
To advise a person that he or she should hear a malinterpretation of Paul' writings in order to
conflict with Jesus christ shows a total lack of faith in Jesus Christ. Even Paul teaches this.
It is better to speak (or post) a few words with understanding than volumes of text in ignorance.
The thread is not on what you want to inject into it, it is on teh above topic,, so please do not waste space here by repeatedly posting what has nothing to do with the thread....got it?
