  Does Paul preach a fundamentally different religion than Jesus?

  by Yesu Kristo Bwana Wangu in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  controversy has arisen regarding jesus versus paul as scholars debate the different emphases and messages of jesus and paul.1 jesus preached the kingdom of heaven.

  paul did not.

  paul preached justification by faith alone.

  Cofty,

  I disagree that Jesus was lax about the sabbath. He kept the Law meticulously but refused to bow a legalistic application of it.
  

  And killing a man for gathering firewood is not legalistic?

  Crazyguy,

  Jesus contradicts Yahweh...

  Cofty,

  I'm not convinced about that.
  

  He's right cofty. For example, Moses had a man executed for gathering firewood on the Sabbath (Numbers 15:32-36.) yet Jesus was very lax (Matthew 12:1-5.). And yes, it stands to reason that Jesus be interpreted as the same god by the doctrine of the Trinity but this does not contradict the fact that there were contradictions or at the very least a contrast between Jesus and the Old Testament god.

  all that talk about hillary clinton's unsecured e-mails?

  read the following:.

  "deagazio posted additional photos from the weekend, including one of his dining companions kissing trump on the cheek, a selfie with white house strategist steve bannon and another selfie identifying a man named rick who he says is responsible for carrying the nuclear “football,” which allows the president to authorize a nuclear attack while away from the white house.. "“this is rick,” wrote deagazio.

  freemindfade,

  That's not saying he is better, that is saying people were fed up. There was one simple solution that would have avoided all this

  bernie...
  

  We agree on Bernie Sanders and that people were fed up. I still believe that a rational choice would have been third party or Bernie being written in. But let me ask, would you have supported Bernie?

  The OP was about Trump's administration's gross lack of security. Trump uses his unsecured phone for his daily tweets. The Secret Service tried to get him to use a more secure phone but he refuses to change his habits. Richard DeAgazio outed a man named "Rick" as the doomsday 'football' carrier. Trump had a conversation with others on a sensitive matter in a loud manner which could be overheard in the club’s dining room by members of the public.

  My general point is that whatever the merits of Hillary Clinton's issues it was not justified by voting for an imbecile like Trump. There were third party candidates.

  Freemindfade: What I'm saying is not that blacks and gays do not exist in the Republican party but that they are a minority in proportion to their representation in the general population. In other words, there's a lower percentage of blacks and gays in the Republican party than outside of it.

  Simon: It is other blacks that refer to black republicans as "coons".

  And by they way, I am not a Democrat. I'm a Social Libertarian.

  Freemindfade,
  

  And conservatives are made up of all kinds of people, gay, black, religious, non-religious, women, and on and on.
  

  One should well know that gay and black Republicans are a very small minority in the Republican party so it is misleading to mention them as if they reflected the population in general.

  where a few of us here on the forum live is in an emergency situation.

  the main spillway on oroville dam -- the tallest dam in the usa -- is damaged.

  the emergency spillway, never used before in the 48 years the dam has operated, is eroding.. major confusion and panic occurred when the order went out sunday, late afternoon: this is not a drill!.

  I originally posted this thread regarding the gross lack of security that one of his staff members did when he identified the man with the "football" duty. That is a totally unacceptable thing for any of his staff to do and should have gotten him fired immediately. It appears that Trump won't do that.

  Village Idiot,

  So why did the middle not choose to vote for a third party? Trump made it clear early on what type of person he was. If both choices were unacceptable they should have not voted for either of them. I myself voted third party.

  Simon,

  Why should they? They didn't want Clinton and what she was promising so they voted for the next best thing.
  

  Trump was not the next best thing. For all their defects the Libertarian and Green Party candidates were better than either Trump or Hillary.

  Neverendingjourney, only some of Trump voters were White Nationalists and assorted racists. I think the issue is more complex.

  It was Trump's bombastic personality that attracted more authoritarians than would otherwise vote, therefore inflating their numbers in the election.
