My point is that he gave up administering baptism on his own--against the dictum of Jesus Christ.
You are right. Another was a zealot. However, all of them were not well known scholars in scripture as Paul was.
Right.
Now Tom, Dick and Harry are claiming to baptize with the Holy Spirit resulting in speaking gibberish!
Which parable Paul has explained?
Ex: Jesus said that there is only one Teacher, that is, Jesus Christ. Paul speaks of teachers in a congregation!
1 Corinthians 12
28 And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.
29 All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they?
Ephesians 4
11 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,
Regardless, Paul does mention baptism quite often, so your argument against him seems invalid.
Who was in authority over Luther to trump him. He ditched the Pope.
That is hypocrisy! Preaching without practicing!
Sorry this is a poor argument. You will need to show us. Form a polemic and get back to us.
Perhaps if we knew what that system was...
This was what Jesus asked Paul:
Acts 9
15 But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel;
This was Paul's easy short cut!
Acts 13
46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, "It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first; since you repudiate it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles.
Acts 18
6 But when they resisted and blasphemed, he shook out his garments and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."
What has Paul done to spark such rage...??? He was the most inspirational "apostle" in NT. Most of the things that people wouldn't know what to do about... He's the only who seemed to address them.
Whoever chose him... Chose the 12 apostles. May the Lord make himself Known!!!
No I'm not denying the Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. But truth is also revealed through the Holy Spirit. Jesus Himself said so.
If you're going to accuse me of believing in other gods, please cite your evidence from my posts.
Paul was not pushing propaganda. He was preaching the Gospel.
Paul was called by Jesus Himself, attested also by Jesus to Ananias, confirmed by the apostles, suffered and nearly died for his faith many times... shall I go on?
Jesus never said that you should never directly address a brother concerning sin. You are reading egoism into the events.
How is this a white lie? I would like your biblical proof please.
The authorship of 2nd Peter is not widely disputed. It is only disputed by a few with an agenda to push.
You have yet to prove that Paul taught anything contrary to Jesus. Until you do, there is no credibility to anything you are saying. You are simply mounting non sequitur, ad hominem, a priori, and similar fallacious attacks that have no scriptural basis or support.
Jesus himself sent His disciples into the world to teach the Gospel. Do you not see how pauls words refers to them? Paul exalts Christ throughout his writings. He rebukes the Corinthians for not following the spirit teacher that Christ promised. Why do you not see this? Paul refers to himself as a father yes, but he also says thats its because the Corinthians are still carnal infants and that he could not speak to them as spiritual people, but as mere infants. Paul is actually rebuking the Corinthians for being infants when he refers to himself as a father.
You cannot blindly accept a self-proclamation of a rank outsider as scripture since it helps in speculations and to develop 'ear tickling' concepts!
Preaching truth is not easy. Adhering to Jesus' words much more so and difficult. No salvation for those who don't accept the words of Jesus.
There are two types of people in the world, those who accept the righteousness of Christ as their own, and those who wish to establish their own righteousness. The latter really hate the apostle Paul.
