Thats not true. The Holy Spirit helps us know Christ which has be reviled through his apostles. I don't belive the bible is without error. We are instructed to discern.
You have much to learn. Perhaps along with reading Scripture, you should put some effort into learning proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary.
 
This is no longer beneficial for me. Im pointing out somthing I ask for help to work out. No one has done that. Just say it then. You can't validate Paul’s teaching with Jesus words. You can only validate Jesus with Pauls theology. This is an issue. Paul follows a different Jesus.

If you want help, why do you mock and bicker with those who attempt to help you? By your posts, it appears to me that you are only here to argue for your agenda.

I don't believe I am. My question was simple. Prove Pauls theology with Christs words. Your the one casting stones and bickering, because it can't be done.
 
Jesus was a Rabbi teaching Jews to honour the bilateral covenant they were in. God promised to look after them and they promised to keep the Torah. The religious leaders of the day had forgotten the spirit of the Torah and in so doing had heaped up work after work after work making Torah keeping an impossible burden. Jesus brought them back to the true meaning of keeping Torah.

The Church was still a mystery at the time, yet it was (national) Israel's rejection of the Messiah that enabled the Church to be built.

Jesus taught what any faithful rabbi would have taught but He did make some hints as to the coming time of the Church.

It doesn't alter the foundation of salvation as salvation by grace through faith has always been the way man has been saved.

Yeah, this is the essence of Jesus' ministry.
Remember, He said “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

Ultimately, His ministry fulfilled the parable of the landowner and the vineyard, Matthew 21:33-41 that ends with...

“But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’ So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

This, of course, connected to the OT prophesy Psalm 118:22,23

42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
“‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’?

43 “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 44 Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”


The chief priests and pharisees (the religious leaders of the day) got the message:

45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them. 46 They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet.

With His death on the cross, Jesus accomplished all He was sent to accomplish while He was a man in the earth.
Now, because He arose as a "Life-giving Spirit" (And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. ) He was given the authority to distribute the Kingdom of God to whomever "believed in Him".

Paul was a minister of THIS gospel: that of being reconciled to God through the Blood of the Lamb, the Son of God. Entrance into this gospel, because the payment of reconciliation had been secured by the Son, was governed by the Son and by those he sent.

This is what Jesus Christ meant when He said "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.

Also Paul taught a false prophecy about the end times and rapture. Paul says it would happen in his lifetime.

I'm not sure what you expected. If you're going to come here spreading heresy, it's not going to be accepted.

Idk about that, Paul clarified the group (of us who) are alive and still remain as who are left at the coming of the Lord. This doesn't necessarily indicate that Paul is including himself in the subgroup of who are left at the coming within the whole group (of us).

Nufan seems to be Nofan of Paul.

He also has no understanding of the progression of the gospel of God. Sure, Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, but He was never revealed all at once.

He also doesn't seem to be asking any questions... just cutting a pasting what he believes. #shrug Can't force anyone to learn anything.

You'll have to retract this:
  • saul/"Apostle" Paul said he saw Jesus in the desert before he got to Damascus,,, (Acts 9:3)
  • God Said that if anyone says they saw Him in the desert,, they are LIARS,,- (Matthew 24:26)
You're inserting someone's ideas about scripture.
Paul told no one to go out to the desert to see Jesus there. Besides, Luke wrote the account.
The Matthew passage you referenced occurs during the great tribulation:

Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world...

You really need someone to teach you how to read and study the scriptures. All kinds of bad theology exists (like "Paul and Jesus don't jive", "Jesus is not coming back", and "Pumpernickel bread is the best bread") because people take verses and passages out of context.

I could help you if you want my help.

Sure, I'm open to that I would love to be able to take Jesus and Paul and see how they jive, so to say, but still, no one's been able to show me how the theology of Paul is compatible with the words of Jesus.
