are christians following the teaching of Paul more than the teaching of Jesus?

Question

he came up with the idea of trinity

he allow eating pork after it was forbidean

he allow his words to be put in the Bible.

He has no right to do so. he is a human being like everyone else.

Answer 1

All the writers of the New Testament understand and accommodate the same basic fundamentals.

Jesus and the apostles came to speak the will of God the Father.

Jesus wrote none of the New Testament, so whether an apostle is quoting Jesus, pre-crucifixion or an apostle is quoting the Holy Spirit / Comforter post crucifixion, -is of little consequence.

Paul would take exception to the idea that one person claims to be of Paul, the other of Apollos, - aren't we all (Christians) of the same Spirit?

Answer 2

I think you are wrong on all accounts.

Where did Paul come up with the idea of the trinity. We find the trinity as far back as the Old Testament. Christ taught the trinity.

Christ taught that all meats were to be eaten in the Gospels long before Paul came along.

He didn't even know that his words would be in the Bible, the canon of Scriptures did not come together until 100 years after he was dead and gone.

He had every right because God gave Him that right, and yes you are right, he is a human being like everyone else.

The teachings of Paul and the teachings of Christ are completely compatable.

Answer 3

Some very unclear thinking here on Paul. Jesus revealed Himself to Paul. Paul never created the faith, he brought the teachings of Christ to the Gentiles and around the world. He didn't invent the notion of the Trinity because Jesus clearly spoke of his Father and the coming of the Holy Spirit after Him. He probably cared a little less about Orthodox Jewish practices such as not eating pork, but that was probably mainly because he was speaking to a non-Jewish audience. He wasn't trying to make better Jews, he wanted converts to Christianity. By the way, he was never Pope as another responder indicated.

Answer 4

First of all, where in the Bible does Paul ever use the word Trinity?
Second of all, Paul didn't write Acts, in which Peter is told my God to go unto the Gentiles, because NONE of God's creation will be considered unclean.
Paul did not write his epistles for inclusion into a compilation book. It was later Christian generations that did that. Paul's letters were personal to each of the churches to which he wrote them.
So, your fourth point has no meaning or bearing.
And lastly, Jesus Himself said, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. Are you Muslim?

Answer 5

Paul was not interested in an historical Jesus. His logos was cosmic (the inner god). So his teaching was true to Jesus'. He contradicts most of the other apostles because they were preaching "another gospel". Note also that Paul didn't write everything attributed to him. You can know it's authentic Paul when it's profoundly spiritual, otherwise it's just nonsense from his disciples trying to figure out what Master Paul and Master Jesus (both were initiates of the Way) were teaching.

Answer 6

Paul didn't believe in a trinity, there wasn't a trinity until the council of Nicea.
The Old Testament and New Testament were written by men inspired by God.
The Old testament was a shadow of things to come, but the law could not make you perfect.
You can eat pork, if you give thanks, nothing is forbidden.
The whole Bible is the word of God.
We have the books that God wanted us to have!

Answer 7

All writers of the bible were human...his teachings are the teachings of Jesus...the idea that Jesus was God came from the old testament prophesies which Jesus fulfilled and the fact that Jesus himself teaches us this....Now you are apparently Muslim and are getting your teachings about Jesus from a corrupt religion that claims to speak for Christ but but never knew him..if you need the truth feel free to contact me.

Answer 8

Paul was choosen as Pope by Jesus. He has every right to do so. And no, we aren't following Paul's teachings more than Jesus'. How do we know that Jesus didn't tell Paul what to do? And also, Paul could have been told what to do by God. It is called Divine Intervention.

Answer 9

Paul spoke for Jesus through the Holy Spirit.

Answer 10

Lets see whether Chrstianity should be named as "Paulianism" or not.


Jesus prayed and fasted. paul did not pray neither fast.

Jesus taught the same religion as of all previous Prophets. He said "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil" Mathew 5:17.

Paul preached against the Law and against the preachings of prophets. He said, "But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter (of law)" The Romans 7:6

Jesus preached Ten Commandments.
Paul had nothing to do with the Ten commandments.

Jesus pbuh believed exclusively in the worship of God. He said,"Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve" Luke 4:8 Notice the words: "Him ONLY." Jesus did not say "US only," or "Him and I only." Jesus pbuh never talk about his crucfixion and resurrection from the dead and atonement of sin.

Paul said the contrary - If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead, then only you would be saved. ROMANS 10:9

Jesus had already forwarned that if they did not follow his teachings, they will not enter heaven. He had said," Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven" Mathew 7:21
Paul said that a person has just to believe in Jesus as his Lord and savior. invented the doctrine of Jesus's RESURRECTION (i.e. returning to life again after death). Then he added, " This statement is according to my own Gospel"
Jesus pbuh said in mathew that every law is still on place and i have not come to abolish the law.
Mathew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Jesus said that I have not abolish the law, Paul said that Jesus abolished the law in Ephesians 2:14-15

Paul was not a prophet, yet his writings have found a place in the Bible. One may ask what a commoner Paul is doing in the V.I.P enclosure of Prophets?
