Plane and simple.
One of these was a sinner and could never free himself from it,
One of these was perfect and without sin.
To me that is a no brainer.
What did he do to offend you?
He didnt offend me at all, I can see clearly his intent. All I can do is pray for those who follow Paul as a sinner is all.
Yet you clearly despise Paul's life.
No just his false teachings and his method of using witchcraft to deceive you.
Jesus really is the better way for me, and obviously Paul is the better way for you.
I really do understand why.
What makes you think you're like Jesus?
I dont think I am like Jesus at all in the Father, I know I am exactly like Jesus was in the same Father as I have.
And that's supposed to make Paul unfaithful to Jesus?
Why?
Because he turns people into siniierns, it ok to be a sinner all you have to do is confess your sin that evening and ask for forgiveness then do the same thing tomorrow LOL.
What you dont understand is God takes away the sins of this world you just do not believe Him that He can. WHY? because you follow another as a sinner instead.
Paul traveling around in the popemobile with bulletproof glass?
If he was a pope -- yep! Smiling and waving arms at his admirers, a god in himself.
I dont remember Jesus trying to save himself from harm do you?
You clearly never actually read Acts, or Paul's letters. Especially 2 Corinthians, Galatians and philippians.
Not more than a thousand time have I read it.
Once I was like you and followed the ways of Paul and thought him to be Gods spokesman until I received from God the same as Jesus did in Matt 3:16 where God Himself became my tutor. Then as with Jesus my eyes were open just as He opens Jesus eyes in Matt 3:16.
You are not reading the book with spiritual eyes is all. That is why you cant understand what Jesus tries to convey to you to be perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect. Do you know why that is an impossibility for you? I do, you follow Paul instead ad of Jesus you follow the creeds of man in beliefs, opinions instead do the reality that Jesus received in Matt 3:16 as we all do who God has come and open in us who He really is.
You are listening to the creeds of man instead of God and Jesus.
In your church?
Sounds like you should leave your church and find one that actually teaches the bible.
Leave my church? I am His church, so are we all who has received from God that what Jesus received form Him. There is no other church of God for I am the temple of Him.
Your church has four walls and a list of bylaws and if you dont abide by those bylaws you cant be a member of that enterprise.
Im not stupid here. Ive been the deacon, Ive been the elder in these establishments, promoted their beliefs, preached their beliefs from a pulpit just as Jesus did in the temple even from a young age. I ve been the pastor, I did prison ministry for over 25 years, fed the poor, clothes the poor, gave cars away to those who needed one to get to work. As a matter of fact 5 of them. Gave jobs to homeless people.
SO dont sit ion your pew and accuse me of ignorance. Like Jesus I was kicked out of those pews for law and hit the streets just as Jesus did no different at all.
Your church? Here is how it goes, You sing a couple of songs, say a repetitive prayer, give announcements, listen to 52 life changing sermons a year, give an alter call for prayer or salvation, say another prayer, sing another song, take up an offering then go eat.
Here is how it goes with His church. I wake up Lord what do we do today and go from there. That is His church whether I go to Cook Children's hospital and pray with parents of sic k kids, or into a prison making friends with inmates, or feeding the poor, and clothing them.
That is His church. it is a 24-7 venture, not a one day a week and take off the other six as common among your churches. You work for God a few hours once a week, we who are of God His work never stops.
You're definitely in the wrong church.
Yes the same said the same of Jesus as well.
Thankfully, YHVH saves to the uttermost all who come to him through Jesus Christ who ever lives to intercede for us. Hebrews 7:25
You see, right there is why I do not follow Paul. You dont go to God through anyone, you go to God the same way Jesus went to Him in Matt 3:16 by His Spirit. Whether you think sop or not there is no other way. Paul never experienced that what Jesus did from God or he wouldn't have made theses kinds of statements.
Have you ever read Hebrews?
Not less than a thousand time, I used to preach it.
According to this book, Jesus is our high priest. He paid the full price of our sin.
Yes according to that book, but according to Jesus I am like Him in the Father. Jesus paid the price for sin alright, He was accused of being the sinner, blasphemer, glutton, wine bibber, sabbath breaker. He idd pay the full price for sin indeed,
You just cant see that in His light, you see it in Pauls opinions instead.
According to 10:10, we have been sanctified by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
No I was sanctified the same way Adam was in Gen 3:22, Abraham, Moses, was sanctified by Gods Spirit, Jesus was in Matt 3:16 by His Spirit, 120 did in an upper room by the same Spirit.
You havent received that same Spirit to be as these have you?
According to 10:14, those who are in process of being sanctified are perfected in Christ.
Sanstification is not a process, it is instantly opened in a moments time. All you have to do is read how instantly God opens peoples eyes.
It is a matter of obedience, and obedience is not a process but a choice.
So, you saying that, just affirms what Jesus did in his giving us his life.
Actually God gives us His life and He only sent Jesus as example for who we are supposed to be in Him no different from His example sent to show us the way to Him.
If you actually did that, you wouldn't be maligning Paul.
Paul maligned himself, he did a good enough job without my help.
Only because you cant receive from God His perfections and that what Jesus did from Him, dont blame me for you refusal to follow Jesus but Paul instead.
Jesus didnt need any man teach him, nor do I for God is sufficient enough to convey His will to us. but obviously you need the opinions of another such as Paul instead of one as Jesus. was in the Father.
As he says in his letter,
2Co 10:7 WEB Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.
All who has from God as Jesus did are His Christs, Christ = anointed of Gods Holy mind to walk as He walks in it. Not walk with a mind that is of sin.
BTW -- Sin simply is to be separated from God and not like Him in perfections. Killing stealing chasing the neighbors wife is not the sin, only results from that sin of separation from Love who God is.
