Subject: Jesus and Peter warned us from Paul


Jesus said that only false prophets that shall come after him, Matthew 24: 24.
Jesus said that no prophet or new law shall come after John the Baptist. So what Paul is doing with the apostles, and how could he prophesy about a new Covenant through Jesus’ death? Jesus said in Luke 16: 16 that the laws and the prophets preached until John the Baptist.
We know that Paul was preaching about the New Testaments “the Gospel of Jesus Christ”. Paul’s teaching is about abolishing God’s law through Jesus Christ’s death.

The scripture reads:
Jesus said: The law and the prophets were until John, since that time the kingdom of God preached and every man press into it, Luke 16: 16 to 17.

So, how Paul could preach a new covenant to abolish God’s law through Jesus’ death after John the Baptist in 15 years. Was Jesus joking what he said it in Luke 16: 16?

Some people interpret this scripture in the way that the law doesn’t exist any more. They believe that the people obeyed God’s law until John the Baptist. Since then no one is under God’s law.

But the real meaning of this scripture that is in Luke 16: 16 to 17, that no other prophets could add or abolish God’s laws, the law was given until John and no one could change it. It doesn’t mean that we are not under the law. Jesus said also: IT IS EASIER FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH TO PASS THAN ONE TITLE OF THE LAW TO FAIL, Luke 16: 17.
It means also that the Prophets shall not be in existence after John the Baptist. So in what category could we place Paul according to Jesus’ saying that the prophets and the law preached until John the Baptist only?
If Jesus meant that the law is abolished in this scripture it means that we have a problem between this scripture and the scripture in Matthew 5: 17, because Jesus said in this scripture that no one could remove one jot of the laws. The Scripture reads: Think not that I come to destroy the law or the prophets I didn’t come to destroy it but to fulfill. FOR VERLY I SAY INTO YOU TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS ONE JOT OR ONE TITLE SHALL IN NO WISE PASS FROM THE LAW, TILL ALL BE FULFILLED, Matthew 5: 17 to 18.

I don’t see that heaven and earth pass yet, it means that we still under the law.

Paul lied and contradicts his saying with two verses.

If we presume that Jesus spoke to him, which I don’t believe that it happened, Paul lied in his second story. . Paul lied about his story when Jesus appeared to him, he told two different stories for the same event.
The conclusion of Paul’s stories with the lord Jesus

Paul’s first story in (Acts 9: 3 to 9) does not match with (Acts 26: 13 to 16).
As Paul said in his first story: the lord did tell him only about (persecuting the lord Jesus. Then he said to him, ARISE AND GO INTO THE CITY, AND IT SHALL BE TOLD YOU WHAT YOU MUST DO).

So the lord did not tell (Saul) Paul in this verse what he supposes to do as a minister, the Lord told him to go to the city for someone would tell him what he supposes to do.

But Paul in his second story he said that the lord told him to preach the gospel AND TO TURN THEM FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT, AND FROM THE POWER OF SATAN UNTO GOD. THAT THEY (MAY RECEIVE FORGIVENESS OF SINS), AND INHERITANCE AMONG THEM (WHICH ARE SANCTIFIED BY FAITH) THAT IS IN ME. Acts 26: 13 to 18}.

Paul created this story to abolish God’s law, he said (by faith man is sanctified but not with his works). Also he claims that the faith (is in him). He said, WHICH IS SANCTIFIED BY FAITH THAT is in me.

PETER WARNED US TO BE CAREFUL WHEN READING PAUL’S LETTERS.

Those letters are hard to understand, which led some people unto their own destructions.

The scripture reads:{Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other scriptures, to their own destruction.

Therefore, dear friend, since you already know these be on your guard so that you may carry not away by the error of LAWLESS MEN and fall from your secure position. But grow in the Grace and knowledge of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. To him is glory both now and forever. Amen. Second Peter 3:15 to 18}

Julian
