Paul was with Jesus in the wilderness for three years after his conversion. I think he knew more than people who lived two hundred years later.

That was Paul’s claim. Jesus and Paul did not live at the same time. Paul believed that the spirit of the risen Christ was with him.

Jesus appeared to Paul on the road to Damascus. He spent three years with Paul in the wilderness. He died in 65 AD, by beheading, so I tend to believe he was a product of that particular meeting.

Far from rejecting the Mosaic Law, in Matthew 5 (not written by Paul), we hear Christ say that not one iota of the law shall fall away.

But yet he went to his death refusing to recant, so I believe him. Also, he was present at the stoning of Stephen, so I believe he did live during the time of Christ.

No sense in arguing with that person. His pen name says it all.

It’s such a popular message that Paul was a flawed thinker and wrong about women. It’s also heresy. 2 Timothy 3:16 - all scripture is breathed out by God.

That is a very weak supportive quote for your argument. Quoting paul to back up paul?

She is quoting God breathed scripture to back up Paul. In other words, God.

That’s circular reasoning.

With respect, the gospel may have been spoken by god, but which gospels ended up in the Bible were very much picked by men.

You do realize who wrote the Letter to Timothy?

It's highly disputed in biblical scholarship.

When truth is no longer important you can say anything. Ask the media.

Churches acting from same repuglican playbook. Re writing history or in this case mythological fiction. More misdirection. Religion is the CAUSE of so much suffering and pain and evil in this world and they’re trying to rebrand it to be relevant. They will NEVER be relevant because they never actually DO anything. Put Doge on them. High taxes. Most of these pastors are worried they might actually have to work for a living instead of being drug dealers.

Council of Rome 382 AD put together the Bible. They threw out all the Gnostic stuff and they should know. Case closed.

Elevating the pseudopigraphal writings of the second and third century over Scripture because apparently that was just Paul writing is absolutely wild! Do we throw out all that Paul wrote because it's too contextual for the modern Christian? If Paul's writings are too contextual then how can we even trust the Gospels or Acts? Matthew wrote to a Jewish audience so apparently we can't learn anything from him today too? 🙄

What is really sad is that so many people watch The Chosen to get their Biblical truth. This is why so many people are led into false teachings about true Christianity. They follow false teachers like this and watch The Chosen instead of reading and studying the Bible in order to know if what they are taught is true or false. The false teaching of Gnosticism was addressed in the book of Colossians and first John. The Gnostics professed to be Christians but claimed to have additional knowledge, superior to what the apostles taught. People need to run as fast as they can away from this false teacher!!

I have never seen The Chosen. I dont even know what it is. I have studied under Greek and Hebrew scholars. I am not Gnostic.

St Paul, the greatest theologian of all-time, was wrong? He was right then, right now, right forever. What he says makes the feminist bishops and priests squirm. I don’t care.

Lemmie tell ya, my church is faily comfortable in holing the line against female ordination, but I worry. Once you start ordaining them the rest ofyour moral theology goes to hell.

In the spring of 2024 the UMC had their conference where they decided everything Jesus said about marriage is wrong. They removed language in their Book of Discipline prohibiting sexual relations outside of marriage for UMC pastors. Pastors who commit adultery cannot be challenged or disciplined by the church.
