~ Paul's Gospel ~

Gal. 1:6-9. Paul said if they received a gospel other than that which he preached it was a perverted gospel. He said let them be accursed who preach any gospel other than that which Paul preached. He was that sure he had the truth according to the revelation of God.

In Rom. 1: 3&4-Paul said Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh: and declared to be the SON OF GOD with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead...

Here Paul declares that Jesus was of the seed of David according to the flesh, meaning he was a human being; a man. Then he declares that Jesus was the Son of God by the resurrection from the dead.

In Acts 13:33 &34- says that God raised up Jesus and said this is the day he said He beget Jesus as a Son of God. v34-that he would never return to corruption.

So, these together prove that in the flesh Jesus was a man; a son of man: at the resurrection God beget him as a Son of God. He was raised in the likeness of God. Before that he was in the likeness of sinful man.

That is the other gospel; that Jesus was God. Paul did not teach that. Neither did the other gospel writers. They all agreed, because they were writing God's Word.

You must go by what Paul wrote to know what the true gospel is. He said something other than what he taught was the other gospel. He taught Jesus was the Son of God.

Romans 8: 3-For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of SINFUL FLESH, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh.

See, made in the LIKENESS OF SINFUL FLESH!!! Please, try to understand, that this is the only way He could have taken our place. I have never said He committed any sin. No, He certainly did not; but he could have. It is not that He was God, therefore could not have sinned. NO!! He was fully human, in every sense, and could have sinned. No Scripture says He was divine. No Scripture says he was fully God. No Scripture says the man Christ Jesus was God.

The Word said that the Word was in the beginning with God. This Word was not Christ Jesus. Men made up this lie. The Word is the thoughts of God. Those Words, God, was IN Jesus. Jesus said, I can of mine own self DO NOTHING. This is not God talking. God was in Jesus. Jesus did all he did by faith in God; just as we have to do.

Phil. 2:7-But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men;

v8-And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Another Scripture says He was made in all points like unto his brethern.

God gave Jesus all power in heaven and earth AFTER the resurrection; then set him on the throne of God; made Jesus to be our God. Jesus is one with God. But, no Scripture used the term-- God, the Son. It is not taught. ‘Second person�?in a Godhead is not taught either. It is made up doctrine.

John the Baptist wrote Revelation; not the disciple. I will show you that in another post.

Traditions of men, history--so-called-- teach that John the disciple wrote Revelation; but the Word of God shows that it had to be John the Baptist.

I Rev. 22:9--Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, = now this is saying this angel was also a 'fellowservant'-meaning the angels and the O.T. prophets worked together to receive and give out the Word of God in those days.

Jesus did not call his disciples 'servants'; he himself told them that he called them 'friends'.

Remember, in Hebrews 1:1--God said he had spoken to the people in the past =(O.T. times)-- by the PROPHETS,

V2--Hath in these LAST =(N.T. times)-- days spoken unto us by his Son...

Now, this means that after Jesus came, no more would God speak to the people by a prophet. This means that the prophetical book of Revelation had to be written BEFORE Jesus came, teaching. For after this time, God would no more use the prophets to give out the Word.

All the N.T. writers did was tell what Jesus had taught them. That is all we are supposed to do. Indeed, it is all we can do.

Now, back to Rev. 22:9-and of thy brethren - the PROPHETS... now, this places the person being addressed by the Angel, to be a PROPHET. John the Baptist was the LAST of those prophets. Remember, the law and the PROPHETS were UNTIL John.

Remember, that John was in the 'wilderness' until the time of his showing to Israel. This was when he was in Patmos and received this revelation of Jesus. Also, remember that John said the one who sent Him, had also given him a sign by which he would know who Jesus was. John did not personally know Jesus, even they were slightly kin. God had kept it this way for His own purpose; so that John knew He had received this revelation from God, not man.

There is not one single Scripture to link this book with any other John.

Jesus fulfilled the whole law; it was folded up and laid away. You are being completely deceived and led into destruction of your soul. I hope you will open up your heart to Jesus and repent and get free of this delusion.

Jesus lived under the law. That time had not been fulfilled nor finished until His resurrection. He was made under the law. /so Everything He and the apostles did in His lifetime were still under the law; therefore, they did accordingly.

Now, Paul was expressly chosen and taught by Jesus. That is all Paul is meaning; he knew that since He had not followed Jesus personally, others would doubt him. So he confirmed that His teachings had come directly from Jesus, just exactly as theirs had.

But, the big difference is this: Paul brought in the new dispensation of Grace. He was the apostle to the Gentiles; to bring them into the family of God. Even Peter finally acknowledged Paul's teachings.

He finally said they (Jews) wanted to be saved as the Gentiles were: by Grace; not law.

Paul was the one chosen to bring the new teachings of Grace. The law period ended on the day of Pentecost. But those Jews did not get the revelation of the change to Grace: Paul did.

There is no contradiction in the Word. We are no longer under the law; we are under grace. But if one puts themselves back under law, there is no salvation. All the Jewish converts had to change and come out from the law and come in by Grace; or still be lost. Paul was the one who taught this.

If you do away with Paul, then you will be back under the law; which was done away with by God. You will be lost.
