Doctrines and instructions and commandments for everything we need are given directly by our Lord, who is one with God, and are recorded in the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Why then do you turn to the writings of the Apostle Paul when the very words of eternal life are found in the Gospels spoken by Jesus Himself?
Many have become lost in the writings of Paul, and some teachers have twisted their meaning. I urge you to return to the true source of eternal life, Jesus Christ, whom you should follow with all your heart. I fear that your church and teachers may have led you astray, for much of what you write does not reflect the words of God, but the teachings of men. I am not the only one who see this, many have told you also.
John 14:6
-"“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 6:63
-"The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.”
John 10:9
“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.”
John 11:25–26
-“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
John 6:47–48
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. I am the bread of life.”
John 8:12
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
John 12:50
“And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”
John 15:5–6
“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered.”
please read the following from John chapter 5 (KJV);
30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. 33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.41 I receive not honour from men.42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
