These people think that only Paul was commissioned to the gentiles and that Peter and James and John and even Jesus himself offered some other kind of gospel that was tied to some Kingdom that they invented.
But there is a lesser in glory which was made glory, but has no glory in respect of that which excels in Glory?
2 Corinthians 3:7-16 But if
the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones,
was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold
the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away(in Christ): [8] How shall not
the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? [9] For
if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more does the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. [10] For even
that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect,
by reason of the glory that excels. [11] For
if that which is done away (in Christ)
was glorious,
much more that which remains is glorious. [12] Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: [13] And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly
look to the end of that which is abolished: [14] But their minds were blinded: for
until this day remains the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament;
which vail is done away in Christ. [15] But even unto this day, when Moses is read,
the vail is upon their heart(but the work of God is circumcision of the heart, the circumcision made without hands. Where if the circumcision made with hands was glory, how much does the circumcision of Christ for the removal of the covering of the heart excel in Glory). [16] Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord,
the vail shall be taken away.(by the circumcision of Christ, circumcision of the heart.)
1 Corinthians 15:40 There are also
celestial bodies, (heavenly —as Christ said He was from above) and bodies
terrestrial (earthly) : but
the glory of the celestial(heavenly) is one(that God dwells in temples made without hands, the work of God is the circumcision made without hands in the unveiling of the heart, the removal of the foreskin of the heart), and the glory(circumcision of a man’s private member, building a stone temple made with hands)
terrestrial(earthly) is another.
There is a lesser promoted in religion to point to the One, the circumcision is made without hands, and whose temple is made without hands or the “the heart is still veiled”.
Was all the commandments in circumcision of the male children’s fleshly foreskin, given of God? Is all the building the temple made with hands as the place for God to dwell…given of God?
I think maybe some other posters question if there were two …one done away with in Christ. Were some of the things the disciples wrestled with …even whether or not to circumcise. Why did they still cast lots to finish out the twelve? Yet never again, are lots cast mentioned. It reminds me of asking fate to pick lottery ticket numbers..rolling of the dice to decide. Why did they cast lots? And not just pray over whom to choose?
Essentially, if Jesus and Peter were inspired by the Holy Spirit, and that doctrine they preached was bogus, then there has to be confusion in the Holy Spirit himself, or there are 2 Holy Spirits.
2 Holy Spirits? I think more like there is the spirit of the antichrist. And the Spirit of God. I don’t think (Imo) the disciples OR Jesus were the spirit of the antichrist. Although before when they tried to stop Him from going to His death…he said “You break My heart” and to Peter a rebuke toward satan, get behind Me.
That is what I am saying, why do they need Jesus leading people into a different gospel and Jesus himself confused as to his mission and is Earthly ministry?
I don’t think He was confused. They were confused. He was clear on “I must go”
Why do the hyper Pauline's need Peter who was inspired by the Holy Spirit, depicted as giving the church and inferior gospel message?
An inferior gospel message …
Still it happens though. Still the rituals and telling people they have to do this and that. Circumcision of babies. Building up a stone temple. The list is endless of even they want to bring animal sacrifice back. The tables and gaudy cups and trinkets …the shewbread…can’t you see it all is made glory …yet done away with by that which excels in Glory(Christ).
I’m not sure about the two gospels or one gospel. It’s hard to ignore the Old Testament spoke of that which is outward to the adorning of men. Who designed it to be so? where it’s give me the tithes, bring the tithe into my storehouse and see if I don’t pour out a blessing on you. Today that is promoted as “if I give five dollars, God promises to increase it (the money) blessing of more, return.” Where it’s as putting money in the bank, and God pays interest back on money deposited into His kingdom. Multiplying it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this…even when your asked for money they say “God will bless it and give you more.” It says so…right there in He will pour out a blessing on you if you bring money into His storehouse. I think it’s not money that is brought into His storehouse. I don’t think money is the tithe but there is a gospel that says so. Why did Paul speaks to some as still yet carnal, needing the milk? Why speak of things beneath to reveal things above?
Maybe The disciples did wrestle with this in the beginning for they were angered by the woman who used the precious ointment saying it could have been sold to feed the poor. Jesus told them to leave her alone, she prepared Gim for His death and burial.
What is the spirit of the antichrist?
What is the Holy Spirit?
The question seems to be if the disciples and Jesus were of the spirit of the antichrist. And only Paul was of the Spirit of God. Can’t be .. when the disciples went to the beggar who asked for money, they said they had no money but what they do have, they will give …”stand up and walk”
