* Corinthians 9:20-22: To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews; to those under the law I became as one under the law -- though not being myself under the law -- that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law -- not being without law toward God but under the law of Christ -- that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak.
* Romans 3:7: If through my lies God’s truth abounds to His glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner?
* Philippians 1:18: In every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Jesus is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.

My opinion is this may well be a tactic utilized by ability of a few to discredit the Bible, especially the recent testomony after the gospels. The Muslims are the guy who've exceeded this thought around as i've got considered it---do not know who else is announcing it. one element they cite is that Paul pronounced, "Be a follower of me." So, they are announcing, it is contradictory to what Jesus pronounced, yet Paul became merely being their occasion. He wasn't preaching yet another gospel.

Apparently you don't understand the life of Paul. He was a hard core Jew. Lived by and knew the law. Circumcised on the 5th day... Had all of the Jewish things going for him. But he realized that none of this mattered which is what he is referring to.

No.
Your last citation is taken out of context (as well as the second) where Paul talks about others preaching Jesus; not him.

Yes, I agree. And in your own words you said he was "tricky". This would presume that Paul was trying to trick (i.e. dupe, fool, bamboozle, hoodwink) those he was delivering his message to. He allowed his message to be fluid, to speak to those he wanted to. It appears he had no problem speaking one thing to one group and something different to another. This is the way Christianity has always been.

Apparently he believed in relative sin while preaching against it.
What a dilemma.
