Re: Thread Copied from Proposed New Topics Forum
quote:
Paul’s message is unique and distinct from the message of Jesus Christ and the 12 apostles, there is difference in God’s earthly program and God’s heavenly program, what traditions of people must be left behind if we take the doctrine of Paul seriously?
Paul's teaching was true to the teaching of Jesus and the apostles. And he, as others with him, pioneered into the experiences that Jesus taught. Paul was faithful to Christ, absolutely faithful.
Peter, no doubt a leader among the twelve, recommended Paul. Yet he also warned that there were things in Paul's letters which were hard to understand. Peter did not say these "hard" things were off the mark or not true. He simply said they were hard. (2 Peter 3:15,16).
But Peter said Paul wrote them according to the wisdom that God has given him. And Peter also warned that the unstable would twist Paul's words as they also do with other scriptures.
Seeing that Paul, a younger man, publicly scolded the senior apostle (Gal. 2:11-14), this shows Peter's humility. And it should cause Christians to take Paul seriously as having been recommended by Peter. God did use Paul to author some 13 or so of the 27 New Testament books.
The Apostle Paul didn't mess up the Gospels and that Christians would not be better off without the ministry of Paul.
Now here I would like you to say a brief word on this word of Jesus:
Therefore I say to you that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and shall be given to a nation producing its fruit. (Matt. 21:43)
Comment on Jesus saying that the kingdom of God would be taken from Israel and given to "a nation" producing its fruits.
Don't we have here a word from Jesus saying that what Israel had would be (at least for some time) taken away from her and given to another entity producing the values God sought to secure through Israel ?
