James and Peter also share hidden wisdom. The milk is in the commands, and we surely need those because we must first start off on milk, but the meat is given by the spirit.
Christ said blessed are those who keep the prophecy in the book of Revelation. Paul only helps us understand it better. He indeed gives us meat. We need the Lord to open our eyes however. It takes time, and obedience to His word. Obedience alone will help us escape the calamities of Revelation, but the meat will help us see this wonderful mystery.

A lot of people dont take Christs commands, and those of Paul either, seriously. They blind themselves because of it.
We believe the book of Revelation. But we should not interpret it because it may vary from person to person. Those who trust Jesus will not be afraid of facing any calamity.
Its not speculation, and furthermore the things written by Paul, and written in Revelation, are spoken of throughout the OT as well, and the OT was written well before the book of Revelation.
I agree. Many don't even like many statements of Paul. They pick and choose, for convenient theology. Ex: on marriage and women's role in church.
Im not afraid. Paul lead me to understand how to follow the spirit, and how to find strength through the spirit, in the Lord. I can understand what paul means when he says to live is Christ and to die is gain. Not that i would compare myself to him because he endured far more than i, but his words help me in my own life.
I don't concern myself with Church matters, i concern myself with following the Lord.
Not all especially matters concerning with the coming and ascension of Jesus and His future rule, etc.
Remember man is involved in writing. Hearing is more spiritual than reading and recording.
Remember Luke is the only Gentile writer in the entire Bible. Yet as far as the NT is concerned, he is more balanced spiritually than Paul because he relied on others instead of his own inventions.

And your point is? Luke is still a gospel.Remember Luke is the only Gentile writer in the entire Bible. Yet as far as the NT is concerned, he is more balanced spiritually than Paul because he relied on others instead of his own inventions.
Jesus said we must eat His flesh and drink His blood. He then demonstrated how it is that we do that in the last supper when He declared the bread to be His flesh and the wine to be His blood. Again, I'll go with Jesus.The Word became flesh. We don't go after the flesh. It is spiritually accepting the Word through His words and leading an obedient life (blood denotes life). If you followed Jesus' words, there cannot be any external ritual with elements associated with this.
This is a concept developed to accommodate Paul with his self-claims.
Jesus called twelve apart among number of disciples. So you are telling Jesus to number them 1, 2, 3 and call them accordingly. But you accept Paul's numbering as 1(a) and 1(b).[ apostles for Jews and Gentiles] Very funny!
Yeah, he abolished brotherly sharing of food in communal (common) meal that was there in Jerusalem church, and advocated sampling bread and wine ritual.
That's really rich. You tell me I should reject everything written by Paul and Luke, and then point me toward the Acts according to Thomas and the Acts according to Peter. You tell me I should reject everything written by the early church fathers - yet you point me to apocryphal books that have been rejected by the church since it's early days.If you read the Acts according to Thomas and Peter and other apocryphal books, it may give you an hint on what the chosen apostles were practicing with proper emphasis on baptism and communion.
And Paul's weren't. As has already been demonstrated from scripture, Paul is attested to by (1) Jesus Christ, (2) the Holy Spirit, and (3) the apostles and church leaders of His day, including a specific commendation by the apostle Peter. By calling him a false prophet, you defame every witness who commends him as well.You cannot demonstrate the calling that was about 2000 years ago. Even James who was the Bishop of Jerusalem Church did not claim to be an apostle in his letter because he knew Jesus called twelve and the lost one has been replaced. Jude followed suit.
There you have it. Credentials cannot be self-claims. It should be given by others with authority connected with it.
I guess God knows.
In what way concerning our salvation?
