Norman_Smiley 01/06/21 8:48:47 PM #163:	RenescoStCewl posted... Norman_Smiley posted... The Apostle Paul was a double agent sent by Satan to undermine early Christianity, pull all the love from it and replace it with judging and legalism. His story about conversion on the road to Damascus is an outright lie. Jesus' message was always to love God first and to love your neighbor like yourself. Paul's message was about sexual morality and tithing and creating a behemoth of a church. In Acts 18:8-9, Paul is rejected by the church of Ephesus. In Revelations 2:1-3, the church of Ephesus is praised by the writer of Revelations for rejecting a false apostle. No other apostle is mentioned to be rejected by Ephesus in the bible. Later in chapter 2 when the writer also lauds them for their hate of Nicolaitans' practices, that is not just a continuation of the praise from before, that is a wholly separate reason they are praised. Two heretics they shut down. Now this is interesting. If you have anymore to add I would be very interested in hearing it. Ultimately I think Christians have to ask themselves, did Jesus not finish the work he was sent to do on Earth? Did he leave an incomplete message? If he did everything he was sent to do and said everything that needed to be said, why would there be theological differences between him and his apostles? So, differences in theology: Jesus preached the gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven, Paul preached the gospel of the Grace of God. Basically that means Jesus preached an earthly Kingdom of God. The time and place of the events that happened and the history of the peoples living there is important to have in context. Jesus' preaching took place ~100 years after Jerusalem was conquered by Rome. Before that like 100 years of Seleucids rule, before that 100 years of Ptolmaic rule, before that 200 years of Persian rule, before that 200 years of Babylonian rule, and before that a few centuries of self governance. (numbers all rough remembering, could be off by a few hundred years or forgot a conquering power). The Romans were a bit different. Under the other rules they had a large degree of autonomy as a people. Under the Romans, there wasn't the same sense of autonomy. The message of an earthly kingdom where their king has full authority over his people would ring very true to the audience that Jesus was primarily preaching to, fellow Jews. Paul preached the gospel of grace and his Kingdom of Heaven was the heavenly, spiritual world we typically think of. His message wasn't especially popular with many of the Jews, which is why, IMO, he said that Jesus' message was grace for all, through him. Jesus' original message of an earthly kingdom wouldn't have resonated the same with the gentile population. But eternal life in a heavenly place? That could work for everyone. Jesus followed the law of Moses, and did not oppose or reject any law. Matthew 5:17-20 is quite clear that Jesus isn't overwriting any laws. What he did is hate how in some cases adherence to the law led to bad behavior and hypocrites. Jesus' true disciples continued to follow Mosaic law even after Jesus' death. Paul followed the law of grace. So long as you believe in Jesus, even if you do bad things, you can still go to heaven. He rejected the existing law. Again, this is really important if you want to grow the organization, as it is very difficult to get people to circumcise themselves as adults out of free will. But if you say they can keep their foreskins and eating shellfish and pigs, suddenly quite a few more people will be open to your message of eternal life. Finally (well, not really I can go on, but of the point of this post), Jesus gave the church to Simon, called Peter. That call out is needed, because Jesus renamed Simon to Peter, as he will be the rock on which he builds the church, and later hands the keys of the kingdom to. Paul renamed himself and rebukes Peter in Gal. 2:11-13, questioning the man given authority by Jesus. Additionally, the rebuke was towards someone trying to a that time uphold the law, albeit maybe incorrectly, by another, who felt that law should no longer exist. This is just hypocritical legalism on a convenient subject for Paul. So yeah, I think if you look at the theology, authority, and audience, it is clear that following Jesus is different than being a Christian that follows Paul's teaching, which taught us among other wonderful things like wives submit to your husbands, and that women can't teach men and need to shut up in church. --- https://imgur.com/BVBQC The big wiggle equals ratings. <cite>Norman_Smiley posted [p:949197101] in What's you...
