Foreword
Are you a Paulian-Christian, or are you a Yeshua-haMessiahn Christian? I am a Yeshua-haMessiahn Christian.
Paul wrote many things that contradict Jesus’s words. Paul even contradicts himself sometimes. Herein below are some examples:
Paul wrote:
“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.” (Romans 10:9-10)
Then, he wrote:
“For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” (Romans 14:11), and…
“And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:11)
Question: Now, if every knee will bow and every tongue confess, then by Paul’s own words, everybody is going to be saved. Right?
What did Jesus teach?
Jesus taught:
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”
And what is the will of the father?
Is it prophesying? (i.e., evangelizing?) Is it casting out devils? (i.e., deliverance?) Is it building churches and other allegedly holy edifices? No!
“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” (Matthew 7:22-23)
Well, Jesus had just given his so-called ‘sermon on the mount’, which was the will of the father. You can read it for yourself. It is in Matthew chapters 5,6, and 7.
Part II
Paul wrote:
“I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.”
Oh, really??? That’s not what Jesus taught.
Jesus said:
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.”
What did he mean fulfill? He meant add to it. He added MORE LAW.
Before he added to the LAW, he prefaced with this interesting comment:
“Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
Now the scribes and Pharisees kept the LAW, but the implication was that that was not enough to enter into the kingdom of heaven. So, what did Jesus say that we have to do to enter into the kingdom of heaven? Read on.

The Old Law (which still must be kept) |
The New Law (which also must be kept) |
|
1 |
Thou shalt not kill. |
Don’t even be angry without cause. |
|
2 |
Thou shalt not commit adultery. |
Don’t even look upon a women with lust in your heart. |
|
3 |
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. |
Turn the other cheek. |
|
4 |
If a man sues you for your coat, give him your coat. |
…and your cloak also. |
|
5 |
Love your neighbor. |
Love your enemy also. |
|
6 |
Be perfect in the LAW. |
Be perfect as your father in heaven is perfect. |
|
7 |
Do alms. |
Do alms in secret. |
|
8 |
Pray. |
Pray in secret. |
|
9 |
Ask for forgiveness from God. |
Ask for forgiveness from the person we have offended; and Forgive our debtors and those who trespass against us. |
|
10 |
? |
Lay not up treasures on Earth. |
|
11 |
Judge by the LAW |
Judge not, that ye may not be judged. |
|
12 |
|
Whatever you want others to do to you, do likewise to them. |
That’s what Jesus taught; obey the law. But, that is NOT what is being taught at so-called Christian pulpits around the world. So-called Christian Churches ought to change their name to Paulian-Christians, for they love the words of Paul more than they love the words of Jesus.
Decide NOW! Are you going to follow a man who tried at first to kill all the Christians, then decided to corrupt the saints by polluting the true word of Jesus the Messiah? Or are you going to follow the ONE and ONLY FOUNDER of the Christian faith? As for me and my house, we are Yeshua-haMessiahns, followers of the true Word.
Repent! For the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Living under the law, if one commits even one minor sin, they will be damned for eternity. God came int he savior Jesus Christ and died once and for all for every man woman and child that ever existed. But you cannot take the gift unless you accept the gift and confessing that your hope, your eternal life reside in One person’s sacrifice. This is the point of salvation. Live in the law, die in the law. Live in Jesus, die in Jesus.
Paul’s words are in the NT because we still have to live in the world and days are evil that we may yet live committing sins. His testimony is there to help people live in the world but not be OF the world. Paul can be hard to understand at times due to his education in the law. But in the end, he does put all his faith and understanding on Jesus and the redemption given through his life, death and resurrection.
Personally, I like having a Bible that has Jesus spoken words highlighted in red so I can dwell on His words more than the words of the apostles.
@Anonymous,
No offense, but you are wrong. Living under the Law of Moses did NOT mean that if one broke one law they were damned for eternity. Where did you learn that garbage? (Again, no offense, but it is garbage).
Under the law of Moses, a bull and two goats were used as sacrifices for sin. One of the two goats was called a “scapegoat”. Aaron (or head of the Levites) was to lay his hands upon the head of the scapegoat and put all the sins of the people on the goat. Then the goat was released into the wilderness. This was called “Atonement” (the becoming “at one” with God).
We still use the word “scapegoat” today as a metaphor for a person upon whom we have laid blame, where no blame is due.
The whole idea is preposterous to me….the idea that one could rid one’s self of one’s sins merely by placing them (symbolicly) upon the head of a goat is just ludicrous.
Likewise, the whole idea of Jesus taking upon himself the sins of the world is preposterous. Jesus certainly never claimed that that was His mission. Only Paul said that.
Let me reiterate: Jesus NEVER said that his mission was to die for the sins of the world.
And, I’m pretty sure that he knew full well what his mission was: teacher, exemplar, healer, destroyer of wrong concepts, and bringer of true concepts/principles.
