Paul vs Jesus Christ?

LegacyJB said:

I've never understood why so many people put more emphasis on Paul than Christ. When I was on my mission we had a lesson with a rather interesting nonmember. He had attended sacrament meeting with us earlier that day. During part of the lesson he talked about a talk thatwas given by one of the young men in the ward. The investigator said "What the boy said wasn't right. I know he quoted what Jesus Christ has said but it wasn't right because the quote contradicted Paul."

Why do so many Christians put more emphasis on Paul than Jesus Christ? Paul spoke on this in a letter saying he was glad he never baptized any of those who said they were of Paul. The 2 don't contradict so obviously it comes from people's misunderstanding of what Paul has said on different subjects.

i humbly do not even think that Christianity and Paulism are reconcilable.Seriously.

I have ripped the writings of Paul from my Bible. He falsely taught a rapture which is never mentioned by Jesus. And he seemed to teach that we are saved entirely by grace and faith whereas the Revelation says that in the final judgment we will all be judged according to our works.

I was excited to see someone one their way to truth; then you trusted in angel speak of revelation. God spoke directly to Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus and then he got lazy and sent angels with messages? I don't think so.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion. Unfortunately the anti-Paul faction cannot prove their objections.

There is no vs anybody in the body of Christ, imo.
Jesus Christ choose Paul, that is not a compitition, its a compliment.
Compitition has been a weakness from the very start of the church, all struggle with it.
When one apostle heard the others choice, then that sounded better to him.
This weakness comes because of the sin that wars in us, as lucifer wanted the place of Jesus.
Division is the enemy's most effective weapon. Saint vs saint.
Non Paul soon morphs to non James or Luke, where does doubt end?
It never is satisfied, it cant be.
Putting away sin is our objective, walking in faith, reaching out with the gospel.
Our only mission is to go into all the world.
If all the world sees is christians scrapping against each other, why would anyone want that?
There is no, person vs Jesus Christ, every knee shall bend before him.
