Does Paul agree with Jesus?

I'm seeing this more and more on social media.

The trend is to exclude the Pauline Epistles out of the Bible based on what is thought to be conflicting teachings.

Jbossman008 over at 153news.net is a good example an anti-Pauline promoter (along with flat earth).

And I do believe that our very own vicomte13 is anti-Pauline.

Nah, I like Paul. But Paul does conflict with Jesus, James and John from time to time. Paul has good things to say, but he's not God.

See, this is the problem you Protestants have. You act as though the Bible itself is God. It isn't. God is God. Some of what God said is in the Bible, and what other people said is too. And it conflicts with itself, as any anthology covering 4000 years of history will do.

This doesn't bother me, for whom the highest authority is the most recent things God said, and Jesus is the most recent set of those things. So Jesus, not the whole Bible, is the gold standard. Where Paul conflicts with Jesus, Paul is to be ignored. Where James conflicts with Jesus, he's wrong. Where John conflicts with Jesus, ignore John. Where Yahweh conflicts with Jesus (over shellfish, for example, or death for sexual offenses), ignore Yahweh and go with Jesus.

Jesus alone is the ultimate authority. Obviously this puts Jesus above the rest of the Bible.

No Protestant can accept that. And so Protestantism is a welter of contradicting and competing sects.

The Catholic Church gets it right that the Bible isn't God, and it puts Jesus first in the Scriptures, which is better than the other positions. BUT then the Catholics (and the Orthodox) put the Church before Jesus, so if there's something they particularly like or want, they'll fetch it from Paul, or James, or themselves in the middle ages, and put that before Jesus.

Which makes the Orthodox and the Catholics wrong also, just differently wrong than the Protestants.

The Protestants place the Bible as an idol before God. The Catholics and the Orthodox place their churches as an idol before God. They're all wrong. The first authority is Jesus. Yes, he is in the Bible, but everything else in the Bible, or the Church, that conflicts with Jesus, is obviously wrong, because, simply put, Jesus was God Incarnate, and the Bible and the Church are not.

Period. Nothing more to discuss.

If you disagree, you're obviously wrong - and an idolater of the Bible or the Church. Do me a favor and go argue with the trees - I am not interested in you.

The Bible is the word of God preserved by God.

Question for you. What did Paul say that contrasts with what Jesus taught? I think you are in error.

Paul is SAID, by Luther and others of his ilk, to have said "Faith alone, works are nothing." This is diametrically opposed to Jesus.

Now, of course, if one reads Paul CORRECTLY, he only APPEARS to say Faith Alone, that isn't what he means at all.

I know that.

But do many, many, many teach Faith Alone, and believe it, just like Martin Luther? Yep.

So, DOES Paul actually contradict Jesus? Not in the main aspects of faith, no, not if he is read properly. Most American Christians come from traditions that do not read Paul properly. If you read Paul like Martin Luther did, then you pit Paul directly against Jesus, and you're dead wrong.

I'm sure you could teach me much about Martin Luther since I don't know much.

I'm sure you could teach me much about Martin Luther since I don't know much.

The crux: "Faith Alone!" was the great rallying cry of Luther and the Protestant Reformation, as opposed to "Faith and works" Catholicism.

Luther based it on a crabbed reading of part of what Paul said in Romans (and Luther went ahead and added the word "alone" after faith in his German translation of the letter).

It was the battle cry of the Reformation, and has been the primary battle front in theological warfare between Catholics and Protestants for 500 years.

Luther is obviously wrong. "Faith without works is dead." - James "What good does it do to say you follow me if you don't keep my commandments?" - Jesus

Luther, by the way, didn't oppose Mary. He actually even believed in the Immaculate Conception. His theological battle with the Catholics had nothing to do with Mary. Neither did the Anglicans. Mary wasn't the issue in the Reformation, Faith Alone was.

Faith Alone was to built on Scripture Alone (no traditions). But of course if one goes Scripture Alone, Scripture is chock full of direct refutations of the idea of Faith Alone. Jesus says you'll be judged by your works over and over and over again.

Faith Alone was the very cornerstone of Protestantism as it was originally fought for. Luther was the first, but the whole movement that followed him relied on Faith Alone and Scripture Alone as their very bedrock.

And Faith Alone is - paradoxically - humorously - really quite the OPPOSITE of what Scripture SAYS. Of course, in the 1500s when all of this was being first fought out, only about 20% of the population could read anything, let alone Scripture, and the Protestants and Catholics were all burning each other for heresy, so literate, critical thinking was in short supply.
