He that hath my commandments, and KEEPETH THEM, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be LOVED OF MY FATHER, and I WILL LOVE HIM, and will manifest myself to him [John 14:21]
Paul's writing make it very clear that you don’t have to follow commandments but believe Jesus (p.b.u.h) died for you sins to get salvation while Jesus(p.b.u.h) said BUT IF THOU WILT ENTER INTO LIFE, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS." The Christians today follow what Paul said and keep what Jesus (P.B.U.H) said to the side.
Old Testament makes circumcision to be an EVERLASTING COVENANT: "He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money (your slaves), must needs be CIRCUMCISED: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an EVERLASTING COVENANT." [Genesis 17:13
"And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be CUT OFF (be killed) from his people; he hath broken my covenant." [Genesis 17:14]
Jesus (pbuh) was circumcised on the eighth day,

to fulfill the law: And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. [Luke 2:21]
Paul even abandoned circumcision
For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?" [Romans 2:25-26]
My Question to Christians is Why didn’t God think of that for 2000 plus years and changed his mind all of the sudden? According to OT Paul have committed cardinal sin he even denied to circumcise Titus .
Paul Breaks An "EVERLASTING COVENANT" Yet Majority Christians today don’t care.

I think you mean "founder of Christianity". Yup, Paul@Saul indeed the founder, not Jesus.

Well, you actually have a fair point this time. Many Christians follow the teachings of Paul, rather than Jesus Christ.
But here's the thing. Even Jesus said that the law had failed. Many people were keeping the laws of Moses, but they weren't serving God. It had become a contest of who was more "righteous" when none of them were. So what is more important: To follow the law to the letter, or to worship God?
In that way, Paul's teachings were cohesive with what Jesus taught. My opinion is that one has to read ALL of the teachings of Jesus, and then decide what He was saying.

Well you already know the answer...Christianity as it is today (and since 335) was created by Saint Saul. Yep His name is SAUL not PAUL...he was a Jewish Tax Collector for the Roman government. They changed it to Paul to make it sound less Jewish. Indeed Saul wrote everything in the New Testament after "Acts"...you know the parts that all the Christians use to "prove" the Trinity and all that Pagan nonsense. Basically Saul was a paid Roman Paganizer of Christianity.

To put this simple, Jesus was a Jew. He kept all the Jewish feasts, fasts, commandments and so forth. As a Rabbi he didn't teach Christianity. He taught Judaism.
The Christian faith is far from what Jesus taught.
The Bible is full of contradictions. Especially the King James "version" and all the Catholic manipulations.

You make such a long, drawn out case as to not beilieve, just give it a rest,,,,,,maybe will come down to you and make you blind for a few days, or make an *** speak to you.....
My point is, keep being an anti believer with your faith, you are soon to see God, and it won't be a friendly encounter, like Paul, or the new testament writers......
What is it going to take, losing a family member, losing eyesight, losing your wife or spouse?????? When will you choose Jesus?

Friend: You don't need to worry about what Paul said. I challenge you to do what Jesus said and did. Jesus said that no one got to the Father except through him. Paul did the best he could to help others with what he understood of Jesus. We don't need Paul to understand Jesus. We have the books (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). The people
Paul talked to did not have the books.

Anyone who feels obliged to say (p.b.u.h.) [that is, "peace be upon him"] after certain religious notables marks himself as a Muslim. Ignore these clowns.
Anyone who doesn't fully spell the name of God but writes G-d or G*d is Jewish. Ask them for a job. ;-)

Ok, we get it. You believe in male genital mutilation. Ok. Do it to your kid, I'm not doing it to mine. I believe God if he exists is more concerned with moral and ethical decisions we make like being mean or being kind, being greedy or being generous, etc...not what we do with our foreskins.
Apparently Paul thought (or was divinely inspired) to see it the same.
