I do wrong things and someone else suffers for my sins... That's Paul's Gospel of sacrifice for sins.
Jesus didn't preach that kind of law... he said "I will have mercy, not sacrifice." You forgive others and God will forgive you. The Real gospel seems to be a gospel of Responsibility.
I pass the punishment on to someone else sounds irresponsible to me.
Responsibility and irresponsibility, isn't that the basic difference between Paul's gospel and the Gospel Jesus preached?

I agree there's a big difference in what Jesus taught and everything else in the Bible. Given the choice I just stay with what Jesus said.
Someone should have put a disclaimer in the Bible and I bet at one time it would have been there in one form or another, something like.........
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

The writings of Saul of Tarsus (Paul) were written BEFORE Mark, which was the first gospel written. Christianity actually started with Paul. The gospels came later. Pauls writings are the link between the time given for Jesus' death (around 33 ad) and the time Mark was written (all the other gospels are clearly derived from Mark, and it mentions the destruction of the Jewish temple, ergo it was written no sooner than 70 ad, and probably much later than that.) It gets much more interesting than that, If Jesus was an actual person who lived on Earth, nobody told Paul. So the story of the early Church is Jesus lived, everyone forgot, and then remembered again. Something fishy there.

Luke wrote down between the memories interior the recent testomony approximately Jesus' existence, death and resurrection. those memories are called "gospels", there are 3 greater. Paul preached and wrote relating to the gospel, yet gospel in a distinctive experience. lots of the time, while the apostle Paul talks relating to the gospel, he ability the "sturdy information" of how human beings would properly be saved by ability of religion in Jesus Christ. on occasion, there is a few thing further to the be conscious, like "the gospel of grace", "the gospel of God", that's in actuality each and every of a similar. It ability "sturdy information". this is suited defined in Paul's letter to the Romans. So the apostle Paul wrote relating to the gospel interior the experience of a message of salvation. Luke and the different evangelists (Matthew, Mark, John) wrote texts approximately Jesus' existence that are often called gospels.

You trust the Gospels then? Really? Because it's tough to find a book in the NT that wasn't influenced by Paul's theology.

A. Paul didn't actually write a "gospel"
B. Peter made an interesting point about Paul:
2 Peter 3:15 And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Both are the same. God will forgive you of all of your sins, but only by the blood of Jesus Christ shed at Cavalry. Without Jesus giving his life and suffering on the cross, there could be no atonement for sin.

Jesus said, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." Mt 26:28
What's up with that?

Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Have you considered the prophets?
edit:
to dustin_keough,
Paul died in 64 AD, and evidence points to the gospels being written before 70 AD.
