What do the scriptures written by the Apostles have to say about the Apostleship of PAUL/SAUL? You claim that Paul had no authority to condemn some things as SIN?
Paul was a guilt ridden rabid anti christian murderer, a homophobic misogynist, and a perverse self loathing masochist who pretended to be blind then pretended to be cured and pretended to have a vision of Jesus appointing him, yeah right, to subvert and derail early Christianity, curse the gentiles, and insure that the Jewish people would dismiss Jesus out of hand for as long as his lies persisted that Jesus claimed to be God and the law was obsolete.
Paul was an Apostle of Christ lacking in nothing. As pointed out by the scriptures........"You wrest with that which you cannot understand due to a lack of knowledge and instability ..... TO YOUR OWN DESTRUCTION." As said once in Hollywood; whose fault is if you can't handle THE TRUTH? Its your soul and your responsibility to work out your own salvation. I would be lacking if I failed to point out the actual text of scripture that demonstrates your opinion to be invalid if you wish to enter the kingdom of God.
Why do I even address fools as described in scripture? Do I want your ignorance and wickedness to be on my hands without warning you? Of course not......the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God. ".........When I say to the wicked 'You shall surely die,' and you give him no warning..........nor speak to warn the wicked of his wicked way, to save his life, that same man shall die in his iniquity. BUT HIS BLOOD I WILL REQUIRE AT YOUR HAND. Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way; he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul............................." Ez. 3:18-21
The Christian is instructed to always present the word in a truthful manner....always be ready to give an answer from the word of God, to rebuke lies and deceit (2 Tim 4:1-2)
Door number ONE: Do I accept your ad hominem rhetoric as truth?
Door number TWO: Do I accept scripture as true doctrine?
I choose door number TWO. Why? Its my soul, and I shall leave the fool to his/her own foolishness.
What are the scriptural characteristics of the fool?
A fool does not want to learn from a presentation of truth. (Prov. 1:22) The fool despises good advise (Prov. 15:15)
The fool my pretend to be listening, but when nothing changes we know he was never listening (Matt.7:26).
The fool always reveals his foolishness (Prov. 13:16). The fool is never interested in understanding..........the fool simply wants the attention from running his foolish mouth (Prov 18:3, Prov. 12:23)
Because the fool actually does not have anything worth saying, he attempts to make up for this lack of knowledge by using many words.......like the wind blowing (Eccl. 5:3). The fool never uses his reason, thus the fool is always led by his EMOTION (sounds much like the modern LIBERAL ....no? He believes everything he hears (truth or not.....gossip) (Prov. 14:15) He is easily led into sexual sin (Prov. 7:26-27).
The fool enjoys picking fights for the entertainment (Prov. 18:6-7). The fool is quick to anger, he attempts to hide his anger behind humor, he enjoys backstabbing (Prov.10:8). The fool is arrogant (Prov. 28:6). The fool mocks sin (Prov. 14:9).
The fool ignores evil (Prov. 22:3). He may pretend to be religious but refuses to live a righteous life (Luke 11:39-40).
Thus the fool attempts to convince himself there is no God nor Laws from God that must be obeyed (Ps. 53:1)
