Here is an example of what I mean by a spiritually practical thing which Jesus has given us through Paul >
"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." (Ephesians 4:31-32)
In the Gospels, Jesus has already said to forgive and to not give in to anger and lust and hate. Here we see a practical approach > put it away from us, if it is anti-love. And we have what to do, instead > to love one another kindly and tenderly. This is something practical and spiritual . . . in the spirituality of God's love. This fits with what Jesus says, though this goes further, I would say.
Now that we have the Holy Spirit, Jesus is the One taking us further.
And we see how Jesus wants us to forgive . . . not only the way we can get ourselves to do . . . not only as a practice to make sure we ourselves are forgiven . . . but forgive
"even as God".
God does not need to forgive in order to make sure He is forgiven, I now get!!!
lolololololololol He forgives out of security, not worrying that unforgiveness could keep Him from being forgiven! So, we should forgive out of security, not just out of worry that we could miss out on being forgiven. And God has forgiven us generously and tenderly and kindly . . . not just clearing our slate from a distance, but intimately in His love
"in our hearts" (Romans 5:5). Sow, then > with this forgiving
"even as God" we become intimate with God in His love which has us also tenderly and kindly and generously forgiving.
So, now perhaps we can see why certain ones want to throw Paul out. Jesus uses Paul to show Satan up. Jesus resurrected now brings us to ever more and better, even than all Jesus did and said while on this earth.
And Paul, then, is who I would say is our thirteenth apostle.
May be this is why Satan's kingdom does not like the number 13.
Paul gets into practical detail about how to love. For example . . . as leaders > look at how Paul and Silvanus and Timothy related with the Thessalonians > in 1 Thessalonians 2:7-11 >
"just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children"
"we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children"
They related personally and intimately as family with God's children. But this is not how some number of church culture leaders relate. Plus, this shows up the ones who deny Paul, I would bet. It shows how they in their haste to just judge Paul are not about loving like Paul is. And it appears to me how Jesus so related tenderly and personally, even in intimate sharing with certain ones who could handle relating closely with Jesus . . . like Mary at His feet and John who rested his head on Christ's bosom.
So, how Paul related in love is a match with how Jesus loved on this earth. And, like I say, this shows up how Satan is with his children; so of course Satan will have people bad-mouthing Paul.
Therefore, not only is Paul's writing a match with Christ's message, but how Jesus has Paul love and say to love is a matching example. Because Jesus speaking and loving through Paul is the same Jesus.
