Wait... Paul studied where for 13 years? undecided
I was under the impression that he took about 3.5 to 7 years before he began proper preaching of the gospel. undecided
I was shocked when I first heard it on a YouTube channel undecided

I was sorry that I started talking about Christ instead of studying Christ. undecided

Wonder why I keep telling you Paul's words are not mere words undecided

You are telling me Paul's words are not mere words because you heard on YouTube that Paul studied somewhere for 13 years? undecided

The other disciples studied under Jesus Christ for 3- 4 years and even their word is not gold. What makes you think Paul's word should be? undecided

Look, until you find God as your one and only Teacher. You will continue to be tossed around by the words and ideas of men instead of Jesus Christ. undecided

How's it the same with your post? undecided
The spirit is calling everyone so how it's calling is what we need to figure out not expecting to hear special invitation! smiley

Paul is not my saviour undecided I didn't say so undecided

I only glorify God over his life and how he yielded to the Holy Spirit thus bearing much fruit of the Spirit that I can learn from.

After all, Christ said teach them things I have commanded. Paul's contribution to shaping the life of God's people during the time of trials and how he suffered so much for Christ serving as an example unto those who were once gentiles and those circumcised is no joke. undecided

Paul is a teacher!

So, God don't discipline those who disobey Him or those who refused to do His will on earth? That's what u mean?

Paul is a teacher!
In the Kingdom of God, Jesus Christ declared that He alone is the only Teacher/Rabbi/Master. So if Paul is instead your teacher, I am afraid that means you serve another master. undecided

The same command which was given to Paul is given to each and everyone who is called to Jesus Christ and that is to go into the world - of both Gentiles and Jews - and teach the Gospel to those who do not believe. That Paul's letters to those he worked with are contained in your Bible does not any way put him above Jesus Christ or any of the other followers. Paul simply happened to have had more of his letters published in your Bible is all. undecided

The disciple Andrew is written of a traveling to teach the Gospel to some in Georgia and Asia where he was supposedly murdered.

Giving glory to Paul is akin to deify-ing him this when the contribution is what gave the most rise to what is status of Christianity today. If Christians had stayed focused on Jesus Christ, rather than distracting themselves with the many tales of Paul, Christianity wouldn't be as muddled up as it is today. undecided

Did I ever mentioned that my eyes aren't fixed on Christ? undecided

Did Paul's teaching go contrary to fixing one's eye on Christ? undecided

Did Paul help us to understand the mystery of the death of Christ or he neglected Christ and preached himself? undecided

What and why did Christ send the disciples to go make disciples of all nations? undecided

To go teach about his death and resurrection or something else in what I've been posting? undecided

1. You can't believe Paul over Jesus Christ, and still claim you submit to and obey only Jesus Christ. undecided

2. Paul's teachings on several issues indeed run contrary to Jesus Christ's teachings. Hence, even though He does state several times to stand on Jesus Christ, his other teachings contract this call of his. undecided

3. What Paul wrote is NOT the mystery of Jesus Christ's death at all. Instead it is an idea supposedly espoused by him. The writings in the Gospels do not corroborate some of his assertions. undecided

4. Jesus Christ gave us all a law like any of the other laws in the New Covenant Law of the Kingdom of God and this to teach the world - unbelievers aka the unsaved. Everyone of Paul's letters are not directed at unbelievers but instead includes attempts at teaching those who are saved - who have already entered into the Kingdom of God and are meant to be under the tutelage of Jesus Christ alone of Jesus Christ - this is against Jesus Christ. undecided

5. Jesus Christ did not send us out to teach saved individuals of his death and resurrection. He instead send up to preach the Gospels to those unsaved , baptizing those who believe and are saved. He didn't then tell or authorize anyone to then install themselves as teachers to them afterwards. undecided

Again, in the Kingdom of God, God alone is Teacher, and this is one of the major differences between the Old and New Covenants. In the Old Covenant, God gave the everyone in Israel the responsibly of teaching His Law to their neighbors and the Levites the right/authority to make certain it is enforced. And as all things humans go, God's business was hijacked by men who installed themselves as rulers, managers of God's information and they taught the doctrines and traditions of men, their ideas, instead of God's Law. undecided

In the New agreement, God installed Himself as Teacher - Jeremiah 31 vs 31 - 34 undecided

Read what Jesus Christ told you. He didn't come to condemn but to save. His Judgement of those are of His Kingdom will not take place until after He returns. undecided

It is for those of the Old Covenant, those of the blood of Jacob whose place of habitation is here in this world - the land of Canaan - that God declared that He would avenge their enemies and punish those who refuse to obey His commandments. undecided

Re: If U Have The Call Of God Into Ministry..... by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:00am On Oct 30, 2021
Jesus is the spirit God is using to invite everyone to God's Kingdom, he commissioned this wonderful program when he first visited the earth bodily, he arranged few persons as they were going from house to house and door to door, that was how he did it.
The last person Jesus invited to the ministry as a spirit person was Saul (later became Paul) Jesus never invited a non-Isrealites directly his program was for Israelites to be the first fruit of God's kingdom and that's what he did.
What is expected of the Christians is to continue expanding the program until the whole earth has been reached with the Good News of God's kingdom. Matthew 24:14; Act 1:8
So if anyone is hearing any kind of voice from the spirit world then it must be demons not Jesus because Jesus never ever had a direct dealing with non-Isrealites {Matthew 10:6; 15:24} that is the truth but people are thinking this program has changed so that the same Jesus will now start calling people of other nations directly to come and worship him, well it's a lie from fallen angels so let such voices be CURSED! Galatians 1:8 smiley

Well, why don't you find for us where it is written as part of your New Covenant promise from God, that Jesus Christ will judge and condemn your enemies in this life. undecided

Find for us examples where God judged even one of those who killed believers for living for Jesus Christ. undecided

Show us an example of God's wrath against the enemies of Christianity in scripture so we can see where your understanding of this in New Covenant comes from. undecided

Those who refuse to obey God are not of God but of the devil to begin with. Jesus Christ explained this severally in His teachings when He said that those who belong to Him are those who keep His commandments. undecided

Now, those who belong to the devil - their father is is devil- are cursed in the New Covenant and they continue in that cursed state until the either chose God as their Father or die. undecided

Recall the parable or the wheat and tares where the wheat are good and tares are of evil? undecided

When Peter sinned, did Jesus Christ punish Him or cast His out for it? All the sins that Judas committed against the group, how many of them where you told that he was chastised for? undecided

The answer again is there is no law in the New Covenant - except for the law on blasphemy against the Holy Spirit - that pronounces a direct and immediate consequence for disobedience even by those who are Sons of God. undecided

Search the New Covenant for yourself- the 4 Gospels -to find such a law, be my guest. undecided

God's goal in His New Covenant is in every way different from His Old Covenant. If you don't even know this then your journey in the direction of God hasn't even begun. undecided

God is True and His Truth is absolute. Either you beleive God is or He lies.... He can't be both so you chose whether the Word of God is Truth or you need the words of men to prop Him up as God for you. undecided
