Is it true that Jesus died for the Jews and Paul died for the Non Jews ?

Question

Jesus was NOT commanded to start a new religion and he practiced Judaism COMPLETELY.

Paul created a "gentile" version of the message of Jesus and added some pagan concepts into it to make it attractive.

Paul is the founder and main author of Christianity so could we consider him a martyr for HIS religion ?

.

Answer 1

Jesus died for the treasure in the field. (That's from one of his parables.)

Paul, well, we don't know what happened to Paul.

Answer 2

Paul did not write any of the Gospels. Paul even said he wasn't there. Paul followed God's commands concerning Gentiles. If it was up to Paul (Saul back then), he would've slaughtered all the Christians. But God intervened.

Jesus said, and who is your neighbor? He didn't want to exclude gentiles at all. He actually went up to Samaritans (non-Jews) a lot in the Gospels. Some of them even repented.

Peter was the first one to minister to Gentiles as far as I know. It's in Acts. Even Paul was a follower.

And why would Paul add the pagan concepts? He grew up a Jew!!

Jesus died for the world. Paul lived for Jesus.

Answer 3

Jesus died for all who would believe in Him. Paul brought this good news to both the Jews and Gentiles. He brought it to the Jews first, though, which blows a hole in your entire theory.

Stick to the historicity of Christianity and stop trying to make things up as you go along.

Answer 4

Interesting observation. Jesus was a total Jew, but He came here to save, not just the Jews but the entire humanity from the penalty of sin. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son..." Regarding Paul, well he was the "apostle to the gentiles" therefore his theology should be tailored to attract the gentiles without watering down the gospel. James, Peter, the author of Hebrews wrote books for the Jews, attracting them with a theology the Jews would understand without watering down the gospel.

Answer 5

Jesus died for all, the whole world
Paul was struck down by Jesus with a blinding light that blinded him for a time
Jesus told Paul what to do

Answer 6

Paul was a narcisstic putz! He was not an apostle, he claimed he was by concocting the story of a vision which he told differently three times recorded in the Bible. Paul was not martyred for the faith, Paul was executed for almost causing a rebellion in Rome. He was a loser like christian ministers today that follow after his message.

Answer 7

Luke 24:47 shows that the way of repentance and remission of sin is to be preached to ALL nations. ALL, as in everybody. Repentance-remission indicate forgiveness. Forgiveness of sin =salvation--Heaven. Paul can save no one. By his own admission, Paul states that he is a sinner. Paul shows that salvation is through Jesus, and Jesus alone.

Answer 8

No! Jesus died for all mankind, everyone, the whole world, Paul died for Jesus, but not to save Him but in Love and obedience to Him, Paul was killed for preaching Jesus as savior of the world, Jesus died to pay for all the sins of the whole world so if you say, "Jesus, forgive me of every sin, I turn away from all sin, come into my heart for I accept your sacrifice for me, Jesus will come into your heart and then God will look at you THROUGH Jesus and see you perfect just as He sees Jesus.

Answer 9

Paul was a martyr for Christ. and no its not true that Paul died for us at all. Jesus only was the one who died for our sins not Paul;

Answer 10

Jesus is not a martyr. His death "tore the veil" between this world and the next, so everyone might know that this existence is for our mortal bodies but not our souls.

Answer 11

No, Jesus died not only for the Jews but for all people. And Paul, he just follow what God wants us to do.
