Was Paul a false prophet? Was he actively trying to corrupt Christianity? Do his teachings contradict those of Jesus? Can the Christianity of Paul even be considered the same as the Christianity of Christ and his apostles?
>>18257817Do you know who else was a false prophet?
>>18257837Okay, standard antichristian stuff aside, don't use nrsv. It's not even approved for liturgy.
>>18257837I've heard people chalk that up to his resurrection or the transfiguration.
>>18257845>I've heard christcucks copeyeah they do that a lot
>>18257817Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."Romans 8:2 “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”Romans 10:4-5 “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.”Galatians 3:13"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:"Romans 3:27-28 "Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law."Jesus Christ did not bring us under another curse, but redeemed us. A Christian is not justified by works of the law, but by grace trough faith in the finished blood atonement of Jesus Christ. Once you are born again, you will never be a sinner spiritually in Christ, because the flesh is separated from the spirit and soul ("putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:"). You cannot boast about achieving salvation, it really is a gift. So tell me, had Jesus redeemed the Jews immediately when he appeared to the Jews? Or did Jesus pay for the sins of the world on the cross? Are you justified by your own faith, or the faith of the Son of God?Galatians 2:20“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”Revelation 1:5“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,”His blood. The blood atonement.
Proof that the Bible is the word of God:fcbaptist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Bible-proof.pdfhttps://truthischrist.com/seven/1 Corin 15:3-4: “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VRT2FFXntc1 John 5:7: "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”Jesus Christ is God who has come in the flesh from heaven. He died as a sinless sacrifice for the sins of the whole world to save you from eternal hell, the punishment for your sin. He was buried, then resurrected and then ascended to heaven. John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 10:28: "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." Rom 10:9: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."God wants to forgive you, but you have a choice: Do you choose the righteousness of God by receiving Christ? Your own righteousness can NEVER justify you or keep you saved because of your sin. Rom 5:9: “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, in His finished blood atonement. The gift of salvation can't be earned. Confess The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in prayer, that you trust in Him and believe He atoned for your sins on the cross.Eph. 2:8-9: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
>>18258001God could demand a list of things He wants from you, including obedience to His perfect law, but instead the only requirement is for you to put your faith in Him. Your works cannot earn salvation. Only the blood atonement The Lord Jesus Christ accomplished can justify us. That means if your faith was never in The Lord Jesus Christ, but instead in what you accomplish, you haven't accepted the gift of salvation.Galatians 5:13: “For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.”1 Corinthians 15:34“Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.”After being saved, we're supposed to have the knowledge that we're not saved to sin and be shameful, but to serve and do our best to live for Jesus instead. The Bible says that we can grieve The Holy Spirit: Ephesians 4:30 "And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption." Once you're saved you have a new nature in you that wants to please God, so despite still having the old nature (the flesh) that doesn't care, you should do you best to keep from sin and live honestly, in order to please Jesus who saved you from hell. You're asked to present your body as a living sacrifice to God, it's your reasonable service that God expects from you.Romans 12:1“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”Some things are not suitable (expedient) for you, and you lose rewards for doing wrong when you're in front of the judgement seat of Christ, but a Christian is still not brought under the binding power of sin. Once you have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, you belong to Him forever, not to yourself. Have you been born again spiritually? Have you moved from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God?
Are you confirming yourself to the end, or is Jesus Christ confirming you to the end?1 Corinthians 1:7-8“So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.”By grace you are saved and then naturally come the works, not the compulsion to sit on your ass in comfort and think "I'm going to go sin and be as useless as possible for my Saviour". What you see is just words like "grace" "saved" and don't know what they actually mean. Somebody embodied in the Holy Spirit becomes a new creation, and that comes with a new heart/nature to do all you can for good works. There's no struggle with it, it just comes and then is. If you have to force yourself for good works and instead want to only go and sin and continue in the exact same lifestyle as when you were lost without any change ever happening, then that means were not saved (born again) in the first place, and are just proclaiming faith in Jesus Christ with empty lips, because you are instead trusting in your own good works to justify yourself to God. When you are saved, you still have the old fleshly nature (Romans 7:17-25) that is cut off from the soul (Colossians 2:11-14), and because of that, sin in the flesh is possible (though it would make you feel horrible compared to before you were saved), but you also have the new spiritual nature that wants to do good works and hates sin. If you start ignoring the fleshly nature, and do good works, it doesn't feel like a chore because it's the desire of the spiritual nature (the real you) to love and serve God, being useful to Him.If you start ignoring the new nature, and keep doing bad works that make you feel disgusted, you will grieve the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30) and sear your conscience so it doesn't feel as bad the next time when you do something wrong. Do you want to be rewarded with inheritance? Stop serving the flesh.
Is salvation by your works or not? The Bible shows you.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfqgec6Fxmc&list=PLFIc5Y7xpsJKBfRg4GAu-BfNAHju4ENIo&index=39A man is saved in this age by grace through faith (Eph. 2:8-9) in the one, final, effectual sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ (Heb. 10:8-12) dying in his place as a substitutionary offering for sin (Rom. 5:1-10). If he has received the Lord Jesus by faith (John 1:12) in his heart, that sinner is SAVED, and is saved, once for all; finally and forever.Colossians 2:11-14"In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;"Romans 7:17-25"Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin."
