For Mormons & Jehovah Wittnesses, if you are a follower of Jesus, why do you belive in Paul?

Question

Is there any proof that Paul actually envision Jesus, and also isn't "dreams, magic, future telling" against the bible, then why did Paul do it? does that contradict?

Answer 1

Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses accept as inspired the writings of the apostle Paul.

The apostle Peter, who was selected by and walked with Jesus, actually taught quite the opposite of what this questioner supposes.
...(Acts 2:14-19) Peter stood up with the eleven and raised his voice and made this utterance to them: “...this is what was said through the prophet Joel, ‘“And in the last days,” God says, “I shall pour out some of my spirit upon every sort of flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy and your young men will see visions and your old men will dream dreams; and even upon my men slaves and upon my women slaves I will pour out some of my spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. And I will give portents in heaven above and signs on earth below

Of course, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that those special gifts were needed to help establish the validity of the Christian congregation until the bible could be completed.
...(1 Corinthians 13:8-10) But whether there are gifts of prophesying, they will be done away with; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is [miraculous] knowledge, it will be done away with. For we have partial knowledge and we prophesy partially; but when that which is complete arrives [that is, the bible], that which is partial will be done away with.


The apostle Paul was accepted as a member of the first century Christian governing body, and was reckoned as an apostle of Christ himself by his contemporaries. Even Luke refers to Paul as an apostle (see Acts 14:14, written by Luke). Paul's writings are completely consistent with the rest of the bible, and uniquely explain the connection between the former Jewish form of worship and Christianity.

(Acts 15:22) Then the apostles and the older men together with the whole congregation favored sending chosen men from among them to Antioch along with Paul and Barnabas

Answer 2

If Paul wrote more books in the Bible than anyone else, how could it be against the Bible? The author of the Book of Luke wrote about Paul in the Book of Acts, you impeach the Gospel if you say the story is false.

You do not understand the difference between prophesy and the occult. Then you have to elimate half of the Old Testament, too.

Answer 3

Uhhh........what??

Mormons, ( can't speak for JW) are far from the following of Paul. Most Christians do follow the teaches of paul more than they do of Jesus, however that is not the case with the LDS.

Paul did not do magic or future telling. There is qute a difference between those and doing miracles and havign the gift of prophecy. In the bible it says that sorcerors, etc. get their power from the adversary(devil) and people like Paul, Peter, John, etc. get their powers from God.

It does not contradict, and I think you have a skewed view of what we believe. Google Pauline Christianity and look at the differences between Paul's teachings and Christ's.

Answer 4

The Elohim, i think, refers to our lord god and for the time of Him the angels who do His artwork. In Eerdman's Bible Dictionary it indicates a plausible derivation of El, the call of God. Jesus isn't God/Jehovah, else why could he pray to himself, why could he say that he did no longer understand while the dominion could return to Israel yet basically God? Jesus, as I actual have suggested such distinctive instances, is the sole begotten son of God, born of Mary and the Holy Spirit of God. HE replaced into GIVEN a popularity that's above each and every call which will possibly be used while he has given the dominion to his Father, as in 1Cor. 15. The emblems, the word, the plan and purpose of God, replaced into fulfilled while Jesus replaced into born and particularly while Jesus performed God's will in obedient dying and resurrection. Jesus, is the firstfruits of individuals that sleep (one million Cor.15) devil??? is the adversary in all of us. Peter tried to cajole Jesus that he does no longer could go through and die and Jesus refers to him as devil. Peter replaced into no longer great humanly evil - basically a sinful guy who did no longer understand plenty as we are sinful in God's eyes. absolutely everyone who stands interior the way of God's purpose is a devil. i think of the venture is that each and every person theorises and does no longer take the word of God for what that's - actuality.
