>> Pauline Christianity is a term applied to what some perceive as the religious teaching unique to Paul’s writings and distinct from the gospel of Jesus. That is, Jesus taught one thing, and Paul taught something completely different. Those who believe in a separate Pauline Christianity believe that the Christianity of today has little to do with Jesus’ teachings; rather, it is the product of Paul’s corruption of those teachings

And you know what? This is based on serpent seed teaching. They believe Paul was of the serpent seed line and a deceiver. So the bible is no longer the truth as per this demonic doctrine.

To explain Linda’s comment above, to understand Linda you will clearly see that she is Roman Catholic based on her comment here: http://www.discerningtheworld.com/2010/03/25/vatican-ii-and-the-new-evangelization-world-wide-take-over/#comment-6325

Did St. Paul not say to hold fast to “tradition, both written and oral?”

Here is a good link to read.

Question: “What is Pauline Christianity?”

Answer: Pauline Christianity is a term applied to what some perceive as the religious teaching unique to Paul’s writings and distinct from the gospel of Jesus. That is, Jesus taught one thing, and Paul taught something completely different. Those who believe in a separate Pauline Christianity believe that the Christianity of today has little to do with Jesus’ teachings; rather, it is the product of Paul’s corruption of those teachings.

Any time a skeptic finds a “disagreeable” doctrine in the Bible, he is likely to say, “That passage has been corrupted,” or, “Paul wrote that, and we know he was a liar.” Where the Gospels teach a “Pauline” doctrine, such as Jesus’ atonement for sin in John 1:29, the skeptic dismisses it as “inserted by devotees of Paul.” In reality, the skeptic’s only basis for such a selective approach to Scripture is a personal bias against the idea of Jesus’ atonement.

That was an easy one Linda.

And a couple like this one….
1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Remember when Jesus left the earth, He said he would leave the Holy Spirit (Comforter, Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) for his apostels and us. So all the teachings of the apostels was by and trough the Holy Spirit which filled them before the Word was written. They did not need written word then while they where preaching the Gospel. Can you imagine how wonderfull that must have been to be an apostel of Jesus in those times. It brings tears to my eyes, the privilage was way beyond what we can comprehend. Now in these times we can only rely on the Holy Spirit to guide and teach us the way of the narrow path.

John 15:26
But when the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) comes, Whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth Who comes (proceeds) from the Father, He [Himself] will testify regarding Me.

Some Bible verses that I pray could assist you here.

Titus 1:9
He must hold fast to the sure and trustworthy Word of God as he was taught it, so that he may be able both to give stimulating instruction and encouragement in sound (wholesome) doctrine and to refute and convict those who contradict and oppose it [showing the wayward their error].

Acts 5:20
Go, take your stand in the temple courts and declare to the people the whole doctrine concerning this Life (the eternal life which Christ revealed).

Luke 1:4
[My purpose is] that you may know the full truth and understand with certainty and security against error the accounts (histories) and doctrines of the faith of which you have been informed and in which you have been orally instructed.

Luke 1:2
Exactly as they were handed down to us by those who from the [ official] beginning [of Jesus’ ministry] were eyewitnesses and ministers of the Word [that is, of the doctrine concerning the attainment through Christ of salvation in the kingdom of God],

Proverbs 4:2
For I give you good doctrine [what is to be received]; do not forsake my teaching.

Matthew 15:9
Uselessly do they worship Me, for they teach as doctrines the commands of men.

Linda this is a very important verse to tell us how to use the scripture and why we have the Word of God the Bible. This is truly the only way we can live by and no other. We cannot depend on any teacher or preacher any more, the world have become to apostate and there are way too many false teachers out there. We must only depend on the Holy Spirit and the Word of God the Bible.

2 Timothy 3:16
Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action),

I truly hope this could help you somehow.
God bless and love

Linda

Exactly WHERE in the Bible does it say that the Bible is the ONLY authority for truth and doctrine? Since there was NO written word for over three hundred years, and yet thousands of Christians were baptized, loved Jesus, and died horrific martyrs’ deaths, how could that be possible if no Bible existed then?

Did Jesus ever tell the Apostles to write down anything, or did He tell Peter that He would build His CHURCH on Peter’s confession?

Did St. Paul not say to hold fast to “tradition, both written and oral?”

Linda, um… ok, so tell me, what else do you read that you consider to be ‘Godly’? Or don’t you read at all because if the bible is not truth then nothing is.

Did Jesus ever tell the Apostles to write down anything, or did He tell Peter that He would build His CHURCH on Peter’s confession?

Did St. Paul not say to hold fast to “tradition, both written and oral?”

I see some mp3s on hermeneutics – should be good

It is! Listening to it now. Thank you!

I am using an old version of e-Sword. I don’t think my computer can handle anything grander than that.
