Hello, brother Journeyman!
But fact is that there are some disagreements between the teachings of the earthly Jesus and the Risen One. The earthly Jesus preached obedience to the law of Moses, whereas Paul (the risen Jesus' spokesman) said we are not under the law.
Jesus taught our need for God's grace because of the law (Mt.5). He defined sin as not only evil action, but evil thoughts (Mt.5), harsher than Moses, so...blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy (Mt.5). And nothing Paul said disagrees.
Jesus told the man cured from leprosy to present himself to the priest and perform sacrifices (Paul would never say that).
Paul did the same thing by taking a vow (Act.21:20-26). He said,
to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win the Jews; to those
who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those
who are under the law 1Cor.9:20
Jesus said it is impossible for a rich person to enter heaven (it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle = impossible), whereas Paul said he could live in want or in plenty.
Jesus meant for those who trust in wealth (Mk.10:24). But it's possible with God (Mk.10:27). How? Rich people who trust God know that what they have really belongs to God. They're "poor on spirit" (Mt.5:3). They also share for the same reason and if they lost their wealth, they'd bless God just the same.
According to the earthly Jesus very few will be saved. What did Paul say about that?
I don't know what statement of Pauls you're referring to.
In my city there are "conflicting" rules regarding traffic lights: One says you must stop at red lights and another says that, between sunset and sunrise, you may go provided there is no crossing traffic.
Well brother, the law is just the knowledge of good and evil asGod sees it. So the point is, I'm no better than you and you're no better than me. We need mercy and need to see that eveyone else does also.
The same happens in the New Testament: There are rules that apply to the Jews before the cross and rules that apply to both Jews and Gentiles after the cross, in the New Covenant.
For the sake of conscience.
As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions....I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean. For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died. Rom.14:1,14-15
