There is a persistent effort to undermine the Apostle Paul, whom God used to write some 13 of the the 27 NT books.

Christians owe much to Paul's pioneering and revelatory experience and insight into Jesus Christ. The earliest written Christian documents in the New Testament are the letters of the Apostle Paul.

Here we see the Jesus said He had many things YET to say to His disciples that they were not yet able to hear. But they WOULD be taught by the Holy Spirit.

The Apostle Paul participated in these further disclosures from the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

Jesus said:

"I have many things to say to you, but you cannot hear them now.

But when He, the Spirit of reality comes, He will guide you into all the reality; for He will not speak from Himself, but what He hears He will speak; and He will declare to you the things that are coming." (John 16:12,13)

This thread I dedicate to the attempt to teach Christians to be embarrassed about Paul's faithful ministry to his Lord Jesus.

Forget about. We owe very much to the Apostle Paul.

Here we see the leading disciple Peter, as an apostle recommending to the church the younger man Paul.

This is all the more striking in light of the fact that Paul had once rebuked the senior apostle publically in a moment of Peter's weakness.

Peter's recommendation:

" And count the long-suffering of our Lord to be salvation even as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you,

As also in all his letters, speaking in them concerning these things, in which some things are hard to understand, which the unlearned and unstable twist, as also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction." (2 Peter 3:15,16)

Perhaps the Romans owed much to Paul.

For the early dating of the letters of Paul, I recommend Gary Habermas's videos.

O course I can't stop you from bringing your trolling over to this thread now, trying to hijack it with more slanderous statements that you don't or can't validate.[/b]

We owe much to Paul.

He spoke of "the Body of Christ".
The Four Gospels say nothing about Christ's Body in that sense.

However Christ's discourse on the true Vine and the abiding branches in John 15 is very much the same concept as Paul's revelation of the Body of Christ.

When the original apostles heard Paul speak of the Body of Christ, i am positive that it reminded them of what they had heard from the Master about Him being the True Vine and the disciples loving one another and abiding in Him being the branches.

Together - the True Vine and the abiding branches really make one organic entity in Christ's teaching.

Together - the Head of the Body and the members of the Body ALSO form one organic entity.

The church owe much to Paul for teaching the same thing albeit in different words.

Together - the True Vine and the abiding branches really make one organic entity in Christ's teaching.

Together - the Head of the Body and the members of the Body ALSO form one organic entity.

"Saul, Saul, Why do you persecute Me?"

"For even as the body is one and has many members, yet all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ." (1 Cor. 12:12)

Paul completed the word of God.

"Of which I became a minister according to the stewardship of God, which was given to me for you, to complete the word of God." (Col. 1:25)
