Paul Was NOT A Disciple Of Jesus by Mushood: 12:43pm On Aug 03, 2014 |
The good news proclaimed in the churches today is false. It is different from the one Jesus preached. Today’s good news is the one declared by Paul: “the good news of the grace of God.” (Acts 20:24). This says: “Rejoice: Jesus died for our sins.” (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Accordingly, Christians insist Jesus carried away all our sins at Calvary. In exchange, he is alleged to have imparted to us the righteousness of God. If this were true, it would be wonderful news indeed. It would mean once we answer the altar- call and declare that Jesus is our Lord and Saviour; we are automatically “born again.” We become heaven-bound because we believe and trust in “the completed works of Christ.” Whatever happens; Jesus has done it for us. We are saved by the magnanimity of God’s grace and not because of any works of righteousness on our part. (Ephesians 2:. However, the problem with this good news is that it is one big deception. It is actually contrary to the true good news that Jesus delivered. Paul was not one of Jesus’ disciples during his ministry. He never heard Jesus preach and he displays unpardonable ignorance about Jesus’ doctrine in his epistles. Bereft of the discipleship of Jesus, Paul fabricated his own Christology. His epistles ignore Jesus’ life while focusing exclusively on his crucifixion. Thus, Paul says disingenuously: “I decided to concentrate only on Jesus Christ and his death on the cross.” (1 Corinthians 2:2). Kingdom of God However, the good news Jesus proclaimed has nothing whatsoever to do with his “death” on the cross or with any sacrifice for sins. This is because Jesus and his disciples preached their good news before his crucifixion. So doing, not once did they say he would die for our sins. On the contrary, their good news requires everyone to carry his own cross and do away with his own sins. Jesus says: “The time has come. The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!” (Mark 1:15). This shows Jesus’ good news is about the coming of the kingdom of God. If it was about him taking away our sins, there would have been no point in asking us to repent for the same sins. What would be the point of repenting if Jesus has taken or will take away our sins? Indeed, if Jesus has really taken away our sins, how come Christians are still so sinful? How come “sinless” priests are still raping young boys? How come “sinless” pastors continue to swindle the gullible poor of their meagre savings? If, according to Paul, Christians are now new creatures in whom “old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17); why are we still stealing, cheating, telling lies, fornicating and committing adultery? www.ynaija.com/femi-aribisala-paul-was-not-a-disciple-of-jesus/ |

Your theology is skewed man. Why did Jesus say " it is finished " on the Cross? What was he refering to ? Why did he tell his disciples that he was going to prepare a place for them.? When Peter tried to dissuade him from washing his feet, why did he. Say get thee behind me Satan. When John was reluctant to babtise him at the 3iver Jordan, why did Jesus tell him, " let it be so now so as to fulfill all reightousness!" ...how was reightousness to be fulfilled. Brother if you pick isolated parts of picture, you will not get the true picture. From genesis to revelation, the bible makes one whole meaning. |

Even the people that had been with Jesus since the beginning were told to wait for the empowerment from the Holy Spirit before facing the world as the Spirit would give them utterances not just saying what they heard Jesus said. Apostle Paul worked under the same empowerment, which is also available to anyone today willing to submit to it. Selah |

Paul never saw jesus, ate with jesus or lived with jesus. He was a human hunter, hunting down xtains and became their apostle over-night. The least of those guys wrote 100s of years after the death of jesus. Paul na fake guy! |
