The Pauline epistles are the thirteen or fourteen letters in the New Testament of the Christian Bible traditionally believed to have been written by the apostle Paul.
Did Jesus said that Paul will come up with his own version of New Testament?
Why is it that New Testament is totally different than Old Testament?
Did Paul wanted to destroy Christianity from Within?

According to Islamic scholars, who comb the bible with a fine tooth comb looking for anything they can use to discredit it, the letters of Paul shouldn't be part of the bible. I'd like to ask you, what do Islamic scholars have to do with the bible, especially when all they do is look for ways to discredit it, even though the koran says that the followers of Allah should listen to the people of the book, meaning the bible? The bible was complete centuries before Muhammad was born, so he didn't mean just the Torah.

Muslims reject the teachings of Paul because they affirm the Deity of Jesus, and confirm Gospel teachings that Jesus is the Son of God. Since the Qur'an teaches that Allah has no son, Muslims must find a reason to deny Jesus' role in creation, and His position to the Father. For those who believe the American media, this proves that Jehovah and Allah are NOT the same God.

Wow, dude, you need to take some Bible study lessons because you are totally way off!
The Old Testament happened before Christ was born and the New Testament is after His birth.
I don't know any Christian that believes Paul and does not believe Christ. Where did you get your info???
Paul and the other disciples were to spread the Gospel after Christ was gone.
You should read the Bible from beginning to end before you start asking questions.

The written words of Paul are the Words of Jesus just as much as the words of Jesus in the Gospels.
Peter even said that in 1 and 2 Peter.
You're a heretic, get a life.

Christians do not reject the teachings of Christ in favor of the teachings of Paul. The teachings of Paul compliment and complete the teachings of Jesus.
You did not give any indication how one contradict the other.

A Christian is a follower of Christ, just as Paul was. With careful and diligent study we can see that the scriptures match up and compliment each other perfectly. Paul died as an imperfect, yet very faithful man. Your question is interesting and I wish you had given examples of why you see things this way. The New Testament and the Old Testament are different but they are certainly not in any way contradictory - quite the opposite.

we don't! I have no idea were you got that from, you are way off.
the new and old testament is a diferent timeline completely from the new testament. the new testament was the story of jesus, gods son! the old testament was telling about creation and how the rules were before jesus.
paul did not come up with a new version of the new testament, was simply saying other things that were going on in those days.
I hope god will set you straight be cause you are really confused it even seems like you are on drugs.

Beside Jesus, there were three main character in New Testament, Peter, Paul and John. Paul is most important one. He saw the vision of Body of Christ. In his fourteen episode, he mention what is the meaning of Christian life and what is God's desire. start from his first book, the book of Rome, talk about how God redeemed the sinner to became His Children for the purpose of body of Christ and express on earth as local church. The book of Ephesian, Galatians, Colosion, and Philipian are heart of Bible. we see the God's economic, and God's heart desire. It all consummated in New Jerusalem. check out this website

Jesus told the disciples to teach the world the Gospel and go out and baptize those that wanted to be saved.
I'd say Paul did a great job.
And if I rejected the teachings of Christ, people wouldn't label me a Christian.

Far out: You must be talking to someone I don"t know.
I believe the Bible as the Word of God,Written by Jews,Inspired,
By the Holy Spirit ,So that If God had Himself pened it and tossed it to the Earth smoking hot, He would not have changed a Word.
