You said you finally understand why, concerning others saying they follow only Jesus. I don't understand why you ask when it is right there in the posts. See your post #105. Thus I asked, do you?
We have spoken before concerning Jesus and Paul. I don't recall where or I would recite it for you. But, I remember you saying something like when there is a question between what Paul said and what Jesus said, you go with Jesus.
Thus when you say Paul is misquoted, this can only mean that you cannot harmonize what Jesus and Paul say. Perhaps what others are saying Paul says is correct. Perhaps you are misunderstanding Scripture. Perhaps you misunderstand what Jesus is saying.
Everything Jesus gave to Paul, Jesus agreed with. Everything.
One thing is clear to me is that you have a hard time with Paul though what he spake was given him by Jesus Christ.

Stranger,
I know we read these posts and sometimes they're misunderstood.
It's OK.
But I've said the opposite of what you're stating above.
I happen to agree with all you've said.
Didn't Paul receive revelation from Jesus?
I have said and I will repeat, that when there's a question, I DO go to Jesus' words.
I've been forced to do this by persons that DO NOT understand Paul.
That doesn't include me -- I understand him very well. But some don't.
They seem to believe that Jesus is all works and Paul is all grace and no works. Actually, they agree -- as they should !
When I say Paul is misquoted it means the OTHER PERSON is misquoting him...why would I say I'M misquoting him???
So maybe I don't make myself clear enough and for that I'm sorry.
I hope you understand my position better now. It might come in handy for future discussions.
