You say Jesus and Paul taught the same. The same what? the same gospel?Some would disgree with you.
Some believe Jesus taught works and Paul taught grace.
They actually both taught the same.

You apparently havent looked at the post I sent you. Not about the sheep foldI posted, at least 2X, how Jesus stated He had other sheep to bring into the fold.
I also posted about how Paul speaks to this in Romans 9.
We're repeating now.
This is what Paul and Jesus taught.You say Jesus and Paul taught the same. The same what? the same gospel?
What are you saying Doug?You apparently havent looked at the post I sent you. Not about the sheep fold
HOW DO WE FOLLOW JESUS?
Never said that Jesus Peter and Paul didnt have some common teachings, but that doesnt nullify the differencesThis is what Paul and Jesus taught.
1. belief in God.
2. obedience to God.
What do YOU think the gospel is?
Do you believe they taught a different gospel?
So one of them would be anathema?
I originally said this.............Here is another of my posts to respond to your request for my points...........I sent this link to one of my posts to further the discussion because you wanted to know my teachings. As I said that would be hard to do in one post so I decided to respond to your request in this fashion, by periodic postings of existing posts I wrote.What are you saying Doug?
That YOU are right
and
I am wrong?
Because I do not agree with you?
You think that if I read an article of yours, I'll change my mind?
That's rather a prideful statement to make in a conversation.
Who preached another gospel?Never said that Jesus Peter and Paul didnt have some common teachings, but that doesnt nullify the differences
Paul said if one preached another gospel to those who received his gospel would be anathema
THE GOSPEL

i didnt write this against you or for you, it is an existing previous post. I copied it to you just to stimulate a new topic since we pretty much exhausted commenting further on our topics of discussion.
You can read it and discuss it if you wish
HOW DO WE FOLLOW JESUS?
[2Co 11:4 KJV] 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].Who preached another gospel?
This verse says otherwise......................[Matthew 15:24 KJV] 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.what I'm denying is that He did not come ONLY for the sheep of Israel.
Jesus preached eternal life for Israel was for them only to believe on his name...............[Jhn 3:18 KJV] 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.If you're going to claim that there are two distinct gospels,,,then it would be good for you to list, at least, maybe 2 differences.
So then HOW do you know there are two different gospels?[2Co 11:4 KJV] 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].
Paul didnt name anyone in particular
Matthew 15:24This verse says otherwise......................[Matthew 15:24 KJV] 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
You are reading what you know from Paul into this verse
Right.Jesus preached eternal life for Israel was for them only to believe on his name...............[Jhn 3:18 KJV] 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Right.[Jhn 20:31 KJV] 31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
Jesus also taught baptism....He told the Apostles to baptize all nations in the Great commission. Matthew 28:19Peter preached the name of Christ plus John's baptism to receive the Holy Ghost...............[Act 2:38 KJV] 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
[Act 3:16 KJV] 16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
[Act 4:12 KJV] 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Jesus said IT IS FINISHED.Paul preached the cross................[1Co 15:1, 3-4 KJV] 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; ... 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:.
Here are a couple of my postsSo then HOW do you know there are two different gospels?
I dont know what you are askingSo then HOW do you know there are two different gospels?
Of course it was revealed to Paul that in this dispensation Jesus redeemed all not just Israel. That doent negate the fact that Jesus came only to save Israel during the dispensation of his earthly ministry. Even Paul said he came only to Israel..................[Rom 15:8 KJV] 8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises [made] unto the fathers:Matthew 15:24
24 But He answered and said, "I was sent only * * to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
It is not Paul who states differently,
but Jesus Himself: Again:
John 10:16
16 "I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.
This is about the same woman recorded in Matthew 15 and Mark 7:25Jesus healed the womans' daughter in Matthew 15...He did not walk away.
This is similar to the Samaritan woman asking for the crumbs.
[Jhn 3:18 KJV] 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.John taught forgiveness for all.
John 3:18 was for all men.
John 20:31 was for that dispensation We dont just believe on his name and nothing elseAnyone who believes will be svaed.
