Why do so many Churches teach a salvation doctrine opposed the the one Jesus taught?

I find many church doctrines are founded solely upon Paul's epistles, leaving the teachings of Jesus Christ as a mere footnote. One would think, they believe Paul is their savior, and Jesus the apostle of Paul. But worse yet, those who trust in these teachings are like blind men walking in the desert.

Paul is a great teacher...and one of my favorites, but teaching Paul without founding his teachings on what Christ taught his disciples, is like trying to teach Algebra to someone who doesn't know how to Add and Subtract. This is why the mainstream churches teach, the Christian is not under Gods Law, simply because Paul taught, "We are not under Law, we are under Grace." When it is this very Law which brings the believer their salvation.

I suggest that you read the New Testament. You know, where it tells us that Jesus came to save, not to condemn. You've read the Bible, but it obviously has done nothing for you. The letter kills, the Spirit gives life.

I don't know what groups you're talking about but virtually all so-called evangelical churches I've been to teach from the whole Bible. I've encountered a lot of groups who focus more on the Old Testament. But Paul over Jesus? I've never encountered this. However, I've never conducted a formal study so who knows.

“Repent is not a one and done deal. It's a spiritual struggle for a lifetime known as the sanctification process,”

repentance is a decision you make in light of the lord wedge that you have served sin in life. It should be a grievance to the heart when we realize our sins put Jesus on the cross.

If we ignore our sins we can never come to repentance

“Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭7:9-10‬ ‭

in every person is a war between good and evil it’s part of humanity this struggle

“I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭7:21-23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

it’s a war between mans spirit and his flesh it’s been so since the fall

“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭6:5-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

repentance is when you realize your deeds are serving Satan and you make a decision to stop doing that that’s where repentance lives. You may not stop
Immediately but once you make the decision your not able to freely continue because of your conscience you’ve decided through hearing the truth that your not going to serve satans Will anymore

“What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey

; whether of sin unto death,

or of obedience unto righteousness?”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6:15-16‬ ‭

repentance is when you choose obedience over sin because you’ve heard the truth that every time a person sins they are serving satans Will for their life that leads to death.

“to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey

; whether of sin unto death, “

a sinner yields themselves to the Will of sin the Will of the flesh , a Christian makes the decision to yield to Gods Will instead

You change from willingly being a servant ofnthe devil and his Will lust , greed , pride , grudge bearing ect those are the devils ways Christ taught us Gods ways

our cchoice is once you hear the truth to accept the truth and to follow after God and his ways revealed sin the gospel. To do this we have to repent of all we thought we knew about God become students or disciples of Jesus Christ beginning at Jesus repenting and starting here

“The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭16:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We can’t keep seeing God the way Moses revealed him we have to accept who Jesus is , what Jesus said ect

repentance is simple it’s when we actually start taking the gospel seriously . Make the decision not to work with our enemy to destroy us , but turn to God and serve him who came to save us

it’s not repentance to pretend our sin doesn’t count , it’s not repentance to insist “ everyone sins “ it becomes repentance when we make the choice to stop serving sin and start serving God

whatever mistakes we make along the way we have Jesus to deal with that to make the decision to convert from satans servants serving and enjoying sin knowing the truth , and start believing and serving God enjoying the fruits of righteousness

repentance is a lifetime commitment to serve God and when you realize you’ve messed up to confess and repent and stand back up and walk again.

We have to repent of what’s in our head me heart and start letting Jesus teach us what’s meant to be there that’s where repentance comes from

“I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭5:32‬ ‭KJV‬‬

all it takes is for us to accept the truth ( but not then explain it’s not true )

“in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2:25-26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We need to start looking at it like it is sin is the Will of Satan , the gospel is the Will of God . Repentance is when we choose Gods ways as our life’s path.

But it is evidenced when it is constantly stated and emphasized that salvation is by faith alone and not by works

But Jesus Himself taught that salvation is by grace through faith in Him alone. He excluded works, and so does Paul.

It depends on your definition of "work". Yes, faith comes by hearing, but true salvation requires doing the will of the Father in heaven, or it will be like a house built on shifting sands.

Since Christ Himself is the Rock, there is no need to talk about shifting sands. And Christ has refuted you in John 6:28,29: Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

The will of God is that sinners repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Good works follow salvation, but salvation is not maintained by good works: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. (Eph 2:8-10)

But Jesus Himself taught that salvation is by grace through faith in Him alone. He excluded works, and so does Paul.

Very few people/groups will come right out and admit that they view Paul's writings as more important than those of Jesus. But it is evidenced when it is constantly stated and emphasized that salvation is by faith alone and not by works - and then Jesus' teachings in the Sermon on the Mount are viewed as unattainable or as extra points if you decide to try to do some of them.

Just wanted to say Brother....Well said!!

Well I do agree that faith without works is dead; but the idea that one can be saved by faith alone can also be extracted from the gospels if a person wants to bad enough. For example:

"He who believes in the Son has eternal life; and he who does not believe the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."—John 3:36

"And those beside the road are they that hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, lest they believe and be saved."—Luke 8:12

I’m glad you were able to make some sense of it brother it’s just my own thought about repentance but makes sense to me

Brother, I got from here to there, flesh to spirit, over 20 years ago. And over that 20 years, I tried to understand how it was done. That ignorance in itself, shows it was not my work, but Gods work in me. And I discovered the key, was the changing of my heart. And once I discovered how God changed me from a servant of sin, into a servant of righteousness, I wanted others to know too.

Everyone who has been given the gift of the Holy Spirit, has a sin they have been tasked with overcoming And they find this task, impossible. Many fight this sin for their entire lifetime and they never overcome it, simply because they followed the teachings of man...and not the Holy Spirit.
We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him:
(1 John 2:3-5)
Paul talks about that sin..(singular) in (Romans 7) and how it brought death.
Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
Romans 7:9

The whole point of that sin, which we can not overcome, is to change our hearts, change them so we can love God and our neighbor.....just as our Lord Jesus loves us. When this happens..you can easily overcome said sin. People, doctrines are mere words and over time we have had literally thousands of them. Following a doctrine is foolishness...following the Holy Spirit...very wise..wise indeed!!
Folks I do say these things to be popular...I say them because I love you.
"Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
(Luke 6:46-49)

As I have pointed out elsewhere, many times the emphasis on "faith alone" comes from a set doctrinal belief one has (such as the 5 Solas).

The law is OT not NT. No one can obey the entire law, that's why Jesus came.

Maybe you are the one who misinterprets Paul's teachings. Yes, the Law brings us to salvation, no, the law does not save us. Paul received the gospel directly from God. If you have a problem, take it up with Him.

The Law profited Israel exactly nothing. It will do even less for Christians. All it does is judge and condemn. You do well to research th whole counsel of God. If you reject the teachings of Paul, you put yourself under a curse. If you disobey just one law one time, you are accursed. That is not good news, at least in my book.
