I think Paul was a false apostle and I just want to have someone at this church talk to me about it, however I'm afraid because I feel like nobody would actually listen to me and just call me crazy. I've been a Christian my whole life and as I've grown up and kept reading and reading I believe it's irrefutable in plain site and Jesus warned of it. There's so many reasons. That being said I truly believe in my heart that Jesus is my savior and he died for my sins. Also just because I believe Paul was false, I don't know if it was intentional as it's impossible to assume, but Paul goes against Jesus's teachings and I can give examples in scripture in whatever translation you want. NKJ, NASB, NIV, ESV, even The Promise however I know you guys hate that one. Paul directly contradicts Jesus's teachings and implements new laws that are actually blasphemous, it's not even subtle. I've always had fire for his writings, but specifically his writings blinded my mind, not my heart, which lead to me living a Christian life with a sword and shield instead of a humble, compassionate and truly joyful heart. Much of Paul's writing is elegant and beautiful and praiseful to The Father, but his zeal for Jesus was although maybe edifying to Jesus, but not aligned with what Jesus purpose was, and Jesus spoke prophecy about it in clear English. I know it sounds very unpopular and scary, but the Bible has been changed and edited more times than we can even know... If God allowed a serpent to enter the garden and change humanities fate forever, why wouldn't God allow the Bible to be infested with a false apostle as well? The Bible commands us not to sin, yet we still do. The Bible commands us not to add or remove from the Bible, yet you believe that's impossible because this book is holy? Jesus calls us to be holy because He is, Jesus doesn't tell us to lay our life and soul down for a text. The true unchanging Word is written down in our hearts when we come to know and love Jesus, it's not written down from Paul's pen necessarily. Jesus told us to follow Him as His burden is light and it's clear that Paul's entire life was heavy burden as he often spoke of. I could go on, but anyways love you guys just sharing. Please don't condemn me to hell. Any students up for extra credit to have a grown up conversation with someone who is asking for one?

You should have a proper conversation with your elders and pastor.

@@HearGodsWord Hey thanks for the reply. I was a member for a few years at a church in WA that is associated with Grace and I was asked by an elder to leave. So I did. I loved that church alot, but now I have come to realize that I am the church as is anyone else in the body of Christ. The only issue is that since I'm not exactly what you would call a zealot for Paul, I'm thought of as a heretic and an enemy for denying certain things that I can prove Jesus did as well. Now days when I need to receive a word from a pastor, I seek out a sermon from a group of different churches I follow on KZbin. This happens to be one of them.

@@alexhudson- individualism isn't a good path to walk.

[@alexhudson-]

@Hear God's Word Yes I agree. I surely do miss fellowship on Sundays sometimes. It is unfortunate I was asked to leave. I do have many friends still however and study the Bible with of them on Thursdays. It's always great to speak to other. So are you asking me to leave as well? I'm trying to have a conversation and not trying to be told what to do from a person that only writes one sentence that's dismissive and haughty. You telling me individualism isn't good blows my mind. Did you read what I wrote? Please sit down.

[@HearGodsWord]

@Alex Hudson with that attitude I'm not surprised you were asked to leave. It's clearly not going to possible to have proper dialogue with you.
