With respect Salvation, Paul’s words ARE Christ’s words. He KEPT SPEAKING AFTER THE RESURRECTION. through his apostles.


I believe that to be true when Paul is speaking of Christ being savior, but some of the things Paul said is still an object of contention to this day.

2 Tim 3
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures,

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God,

Since Timothy had known the scriptures all of his life I believe it should be assumed that Paul was not talking about his own scripture but the scripture which came from the old testament.

Paul also blasted the Christians who still believed in circumcision, but what did he do? he circumcised timothy in Acts 16:3

Galatians 2:11
Paul told the Galatians that he opposed Peter in public.

11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him in public, because he was clearly wrong.

What did Peter do so wrong? he sit with the circumcised.

What did Jesus say about it?

Matthew 18
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

Paul did not do as Jesus said, in fact he told the whole world with out going to Peter first.

So we need to be careful about all scripture coming from God or be careful what we see as scripture.

Interesting points. I have some “working theories” about oddities in the Acts period, but no pat answers. Thanks for feedback.
