Do you follow the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

[Dan Clarkston]

what is his will?

His Word... is His will

He had it put in to written form so you could get to know His will... which can only be revealed by the Holy Ghost among those that thirst and hunger for Truth.

Those following religious organizations are following the wisdom of men, not the Lord which is why they are ignorant of what God's will is.

Do you stay at home when you have appendicitis or do you go to a hospital?
Why go there?
It's an organization.

I agree completely!

I think I'm understanding what you're saying.
I follow Jesus, but I also read and learn from what the other writers wrote.
Personally, for me, I see no difference, but I get what you're saying.
I've learned that some follow Paul...I think it's called Paul only.
This is nonsense and I don't really pay attention to heretical beliefs.
Heretical just means what is not taught by mainline Christianity.
Lots of them floating around these days.

Agreed. But I believe Paul teaches this too. He often exhorted Christians to live Godly lives.
I'll post some verses:

Romans 11:21-23 GOD COULD CUT US OFF IF WE DO NOT CONTINUE IN KINDNESS.
Romans 13:9-11 LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, NO ADULTERY/MURDER/STEALING, NO COVETING
Romans 13:13 LET US BEHAVE PROPERLY
Romans 15:4 WHAT WAS WRITTEN BEFORE IS FOR OUR INSTRUCTION THAT WE MAY PERSEVERE.
1 Cor 5:9 DO NOT ASSOCIATE WITH IMMORAL PEOPLE.
1 Cor 15:58 ALWAYS ABOUND IN THE WORK OF THE LORD.

I could post verses like the above from every letter Paul wrote.
What I believe is that some misunderstand him because it's convenient for them and they write their own NT.



Actually, LYeshua....believing IS OBEYING.
Disbelieving is disobeying.

Simple Greek language. To believe means to follow, to trust, to obey, and more.

Believe means to do as Jesus instructed.
Not only to believe with our minds in some abstract way.


I'm not sure what you mean. What did Jesus tell before His crucifixion?

Well, I don't think NT Wright makes up history. He's one of the leading theologians in the world. You could take it or leave it...
to me it makes a lot of sense.
You must admit that the Apostles were very confused about the crucifixion and about who Jesus was.

The 10 commandments are the moral Law which will be forever.
The civil and ceremonial laws have been abolished.



Absolutely correct.
But I think I replied to this up above.
Many are afraid of the word WORKS or even GOOD DEEDS as if we are not required to do any.
Paul was trying to explain many theological ideas....
I wouldn't let these people that believe works are not necessary let me cloud my opinion of Paul..again, I don't believe Paul was teaching a different gospel...I think some just don't care to understand it correctly.


I think we agree.
I'll end with this:
FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS A DEAD FAITH
WORKS WITHOUT FAITH ARE DEAD WORKS.

AND
When there's a "conflict" between Jesus and any other writer...we listen to Jesus.

I agree completely! we are on the same page! I do not know much about NT wright, but ill look him up. I mostly if not completely on the Holy Spirit to guide me it is what I rely on.

Blessings.

Of course the Holy Spirit will guide us,,,,but there is so much to know. Jesus sent His Apostles to teach the nations what they had been taught.
And what did those do BEFORE the NT was assembled?
They heard from the Apostles and from those the Apostles had taught.

NT Wright wrote many books and one was on Paul, but I don't remember the title, and you probably won't be interested right now.

THIS might actually be the talk on Paul that I was referring to...I dismiss many "theologians", but some should be listened to.
