What are the differences in Paul's teachings and Jesus' teachings?
I've actually heard that some churches do not teach the word of Paul.
Was Paul's word not God inspired?

Jesus taught ONLY to the Jews
Paul was the Apostle sent to us, the Gentiles after the Jews rejected Christ as their messiah.
For a Jew to be saved during Christ ministry, they had to repent of their sins, keep the commandments and accept Christ as their messiah. Then after the Crucifixion Jesus would return and set up an earthly kingdom with the Jews ruling with Him and evangelizing the Gentiles.
They rejected Christ so He went to Paul to make the Jews jealous.
The way of salvation changed then. We have to accept and have faith that Jesus paid for our sins on the cross and accept Him as our savior.
When you accept Christ you receive in God's eyes the faith OF Christ, now your spirit and flesh are separated. The sins you commit stay in the flesh when you die and God will see no sin in you.
This is a completely different salvation from what Jesus taught.
When Jesus was with the Jews you had to keep the commandments TO BE SAVED.
Matthew 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Now with what Jesus told Paul to tell us...
We TRY to keep the commandments (not sinning) BECAUSE WE ARE SAVED.
I know this is confusing, trying to put a lot of info in a small space.
If you wish to know more, please contact me.

P.S. Some churches do not believe Paul was given his gospel from Christ and do not teach from the Pauline Epistles.
Others know that what Paul preached was from Jesus and they were written to us, so they do not teach or use anything but Paul's books.
Both are wrong,
What Paul wrote is for us today doctrinally but all scripture was given by inspiration of God.
The Old Testament and the Gospels although not applicable to us doctrinally are there both for our learning and instruction.

Paul and Jesus were in "lock step" when it came to teaching. There is nothing that cannot be found in Paul's teachings that Jesus would not have approved.

Do some checking on the Council of Nicea in 324AD. That's when the church leaders got together and decided which books would be included in the bible and which would be left out.
Right or Wrong had nothing to do with it...

Who is greater, the servant or the master?
Paul was the servant, Jesus the master...
Paul's teachings have been used far more for repression than Jesus' have been.

Paul's words are inspired by the same SPIRIT that was in JESUS.
GOD bless

Actually, the Ebionites, a Judaeo-Christian group, never accepted Paul and maintained that he was a convert to Judaism who lied about his past. But, both Jesus and Paul were stupid cult leaders whose memories should have been forgotten 2000 years ago.
