Paul is not the PROBLEM. His doctrine is the SOLUTION
ONLINE COMMENT:
Paul, in attempting to teach, was dis-obeying his Master (Matthew 23:8-10) and has caused more damage to Christ's Mission and Kingdom than anyone else has because all of the "so-called" Christian religions are based on the letters of Paul and NOT on the Teaching of Christ and are therefore THE PROBLEM.
MY REPLY:
You appear to have it backwards. Most of the "so-called" Christian religions teach the Kingdom doctrine and ignore Paul. Everyone is teaching from the four Gospels and rarely venture into the truth of Paul's epistles which is actually the doctrine for the Body of Christ today.
The four Gospels and the Kingdom message that Jesus (and the 12) taught is doctrine for Israel. It is prophetic doctrine specific for the Jews and for their purpose and inheritance in the earthly, Millennial Kingdom. Notice the scriptures below that confirm that Jesus came ONLY for the Jews:Mat_15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mat_10:5-6 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: (6) But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Rom_15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
Now notice what Paul writes, with emphasis on the Apostle of the Gentiles, the commandments of the Lord, be followers of me (Paul), as a pattern or example of longsuffering:
Rom_11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
1Co_14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
1Co_4:16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
1Co_11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
1Ti_1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
Paul is not the PROBLEM. His doctrine is the SOLUTION that many are ignoring. This is why the church today is in such a mess, confused and contradictory. We are not supposed to be following the Kingdom doctrine as it is not addressed to us, neither is it designed for us. We are not inheriting the earth, but the heavens. We are under a completely different dispensation, with its own unique doctrine provided to us by the risen Lord Jesus Christ through the inspiration of the pen of Paul. If you learn the Grace doctrine, it will clear up the mess and bring clarity and purpose to light for the Body of Christ.
