My friends, you have been taught the gospel of Paul, not the gospel of Jesus Christ; they are two completely different Gospels! As I discuss the differences between the two Gospels, I want to be completely clear about the Word of God, the Holy Bible. All the events and stories in the Bible are absolutely true. The stories of Adam and Eve, the Ark, the flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, even the story of Jonah, a prophet swallowed by a big fish and 3 days later spit out onto dry land. All of the miracles of Jesus; healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, and raising the dead, are all true.
In Acts 26:10, 11, Saul of Tarsus, a Pharisee, who later became Paul (Acts 13:9) is described as one of the most evil men who ever lived. He killed Stephen (Acts 7:59, 60 and Acts 8:1), one of the disciples of Jesus. He put innocent people (Christians) in prison (Acts 26:10), he tortured them (Acts 26:11), and he murdered them! The Lord had to knock him to the ground and blind him (Acts 9:1-9) or he would have killed all of the disciples and murdered all of the Christians. Paul said "he compelled" Christians to blaspheme the Lord. What he really means, is that he tortured them! We don't know how many Christians he imprisoned, tortured, and murdered, he doesn't want us to know. Several times the Pharisees tried to kill Jesus (John 5:16, 7:1, 8:59, 10:31, 11:53) but were unsuccessful. Eventually the Jews (Pharisees, Sanhedrin, chief priests and elders) succeeded through the traitor Judas Iscariot! The Pharisees kidnapped Jesus at night (John 18:3), brought false charges against Him, then pressured Pontius Pilate to execute Him! Why did I provide all this background on Saul of Tarsus? So you will realize that Paul (Saul of Tarsus) did not know the words, sayings and doctrines of Jesus Christ. Paul was not a disciple of Jesus! When he became a Christian, he was rejected by most of the Christians because of their fear of him, therefore he went into other countries and regions. This is why Paul writes things in his letters (Romans and Ephesians) that conflict with the words of Jesus Christ, your Lord and Savior.
Let me clarify the word "LORD". It means, the One whom you obey! If you obey Jesus, then He is your Lord. If you obey Paul, then he is your Lord, which is blasphemy, and the penalty for blasphemy is eternal death. You only have One Lord, Jesus Christ!! You do not have multiple lords! Your religious leader is not your Lord, your church is not your Lord, Moses is not your Lord and Paul is not your Lord; you are not to obey them. You only have One Lord, Jesus Christ, and He alone are you to serve and obey!
Open your Bible and study the Scriptures I talk about. In Matthew 7:21, Jesus says "NOT everyone who saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of Heaven (be saved)". In Romans 10:13, Paul writes "For whosoever (everyone) shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved (go to Heaven)". Both verses can't be right. Is Jesus right, or is Paul right? Paul says everyone who calls out to the Lord (Jesus) is saved; Jesus says "not" everyone who calls out to Him is saved (enters the kingdom of Heaven). Who do you believe? Your religious leaders have made that choice for you, they have chosen the words of Paul and rejected the words of Jesus. They have declared to you that Paul is right and Jesus is wrong. Your religious leaders literally do not believe in the words of Jesus. They have made the wrong choice!!
In John 5:24, Jesus says "he who hears My word (listens to Jesus)..... shall NOT come into condemnation (Judgment), but is (has) passed from death (eternal death) unto life (eternal life)! In Romans 14:10 and 2nd Corinthians 5:10, Paul writes "for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ". Paul teaches that everyone must go to the Judgment and be judged. Jesus teaches that if you will just listen to Him (study His words in the Gospels and do them) you will avoid the Judgment! The word "condemnation" is used in many Bibles in John 5:24. There are only a few Bible translations, like the New King James Bible, that uses the word "judgment" in John 5:24. What I am about to say, may seem technical in nature, a "minor detail" your religious leaders might say, but to change the word "judgment" into "condemnation" completely changes the meaning of the verse.
These Bible translators are very intelligent and know the Bible very well, they know this verse (John 5:24) is in direct conflict with the teachings of Paul (Romans 14: 10 and 2nd Corinthians 5:10). If you purchase a Greek/English Interlinear Bible or look on the Internet, you will discover the Greek word for "judgment" is exactly the same in verses John 5:22 and 5:24. Virtually all Bibles use the word "judgment" in John 5:22. It is the exact same Greek word in John 5:24. So, why do they translate it as "condemnation"? Again, because they know John 5:24 is in direct conflict with the teachings of Paul. The New King James Bible is one of the few Bibles that correctly translates John 5:24. So, who do you believe? Jesus or Paul? Does everyone end up in the Judgment, like Paul teaches, or is Jesus correct?.... Those who listen to Jesus and do what He says, don't go to the Judgment!! Who do you believe? Again, most Christian churches teach that everyone must go to the Judgment. I don't want you in the Judgment and Jesus doesn't want you there either! Billions of people, including Christians, are going to be burned up in the "everlasting fire" (Matthew 25:41) on Judgment Day! Make the right choice! Avoid the Judgment! Listen to Jesus! Purchase my book "THE WORDS of JESUS" so you can understand Jesus' words, teachings, and doctrines. The gospel of Jesus is completely different than the gospel of Paul.
In Matthew 25:32-46, Jesus lists six things you must do in order to be one of the "righteous" and have "eternal life". He repeats Himself and mentions these six acts of righteousness a second time, so there will be no misunderstanding of what He is telling you. In verse 41, Jesus explains what will happen to you if you refuse to do these six Commandments of Jesus, "depart from Me, you cursed, into (the) everlasting fire (hell) prepared for the devil and his angels (demons)"! When I mention these verses to other Christians, usually the first thing they say to me is "I don't believe that!" Your religious leaders (priests, pastors, ministers, and preachers) have literally taught you not to believe what Jesus says! And why is that? Because the words of Jesus Christ, are in direct conflict with their Lord and God, the apostle Paul! Of course, this is when everyone jumps up and says "my religious leader has never said Paul is our Lord and our God!" And you are correct. "They" (your priest or pastor) would never say such a thing out loud because you would overthrow them. But this is what they teach. They teach you to listen to Paul and do what he says. When you hear a sermon in most Christian churches, you hear "Paul said this and Paul said that" and "Paul says to do this and Paul says to do that", doesn't that seem odd to you? Shouldn't a Christian churches sermon be "Jesus said that" and "Jesus says to do this"?
This may seem very simplistic, and in a sense, it is. Do they teach you to listen to Jesus and do what He says in Matthew 25:32-46? Absolutely not! You have never heard a Christian religious leader tell their congregation they have to do these six acts of righteousness in Matthew 25:32-46. I have been a Christian for many years, I have attended many churches; Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterian, Adventist, Jehovah's Witness, and Methodist. I have watched a lot of Christian TV programs, and have never heard a Christian religious leader tell their congregation they have to do the six acts of righteousness in order to have eternal life! Why? Because these verses are in direct conflict with the words and teachings of Paul! In Romans 3:22, Paul teaches "the righteousness of God is by faith of (in) Jesus Christ..." Is Paul right or is Jesus? Are you righteous by doing the six acts of righteousness: giving food, water, and clothing to the poor, visiting the sick, visiting those in prison, and bringing strangers (homeless people) into your home and taking care of them; or are you "righteous" by faith apart from works (Romans 3:27)? These are two completely different religious beliefs and doctrines. Jesus teaches your actions (works) determine if you are "righteous". Paul teaches your "works" have nothing to do with your being righteous or having eternal life. Who do you believe? Your religious leaders have taught you to believe Paul, and not to believe Jesus, the Son of God! If you do not believe what Jesus says, then you do not believe in Him!!!
In John 3:16, Jesus says only those who believe in Him have "everlasting" (eternal) life! You cannot say, "I believe Jesus is my Lord and Savior", and then turn around and say "but I don't believe what Jesus says, I am not going to listen to Him, and I'm not going to do anything He tells me to do"! But this is what your religious leaders teach you. They teach you to obey Paul and to disobey Jesus. That is why I say they have turned Paul into your Lord, (the one whom you obey) and that is blasphemy!
They have declared to you that the words of Paul are greater than the words of Jesus. Every time there is a conflict between what Jesus says and what Paul says, your religious leaders choose the words of Paul over the words of Jesus. Jesus is the Son of God. If Paul's words are greater than Jesus's words, then who is Paul? You are a child of God, you are intelligent, rational, and logical, because your Father in Heaven (God) is intelligent, rational, and logical. I ask you again; your religious leaders have taught you that the words of Paul are greater (have more authority) then the words of Jesus, the Son of God. Who is Paul? He is God! And to declare a man to be God, especially a mass murderer like Saul of Tarsus(Paul), is blasphemy!!
The gospel of Paul is summed up in Ephesians 2:8, 9, "for by grace are ye saved, through faith.... not of (by) works...." Unfortunately, this verse is in direct conflict with Matthew 25:32-46. Jesus teaches that you have to do the six acts of righteousness (works)! If you refuse, you will go into the "everlasting fire" right along with the devil (Matthew 25:41).
Most Christian churches teach that you are saved by grace, not works. They teach the wrong gospel! Purchase my book "THE WORDS of JESUS", so you can learn the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Will of God (the Commandments of Jesus). Take a risk, be a person of faith and courage, and buy my book. Learn the gospel of Jesus and begin doing the Will of God (Matthew 7:21).
I have given you three examples of the differences and conflicts between the gospel of Jesus and the gospel of Paul. These two Gospels are fundamentally opposed to each other. The gospel of Jesus is a conditional gospel, your behavior (works) determines if you have eternal life or not. The gospel of Paul is all about faith. Paul teaches that you don't have to have any "works" in order to be saved (have eternal life) Romans 3:27.
I have mentioned six of Jesus's Commandments in Matthew 25:32-46, there are many more you have to do and make part of your life. The only way you are going to learn them is to buy my book. Don't reject the gospel of Jesus, as your religious leaders have done. Come back to your Lord and your God, Jesus Christ the Son of God. You can do this! Study my book along with your Bible! I explain the words of Jesus in the Gospels and in Revelation. You will be learning a completely different gospel. You will learn the Will of God (the Commandments of Jesus),how to become a son (or daughter) of God, how to overcome sin, and how to get your name written in the Book of Life (eternal life) Revelation 3:5. I have many things to teach you, but you must first buy my book so you can begin your journey on the narrow path that leads to life (eternal life) Matthew 7:14! God bless you!
