PAUL THE POLITICIAN
Readers, are you ready? Are you ready for my article that I will write next? I got them from the same Bible that you read. Yes, the same Bible. I want to prove to you that Paul is a politician. Politicians are all basically the same. They talk from both ends of their body. Read what the Apostle James said, and he agreed with me. Read James chapter 2 carefully.
Paul wrote in Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” In Romans 3:31 Paul wrote, “Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.” Paul says that faith does not void the law. We establish the law through faith. Paul wrote in Galatians 3:11, “But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God [is] evident, for "the just shall live by faith." In Galatians 3:24 Paul continues with his faith argument, “Therefore the law was our tutor [to bring us] to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.”
Finally, God the Father, by way of Jesus, tells us whether we are justified by faith or by work, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23.
According to Jesus, we are justified by our works, and not by our faith! Jesus denied these men/women of great faith from entering heaven because they practice lawlessness, and not because of lack of faith. They were men/women of great faith. They could cast demons in His name. They could do many wonders in His name. But they were lawbreakers. We are justified when we keep His commandments. NO, lawbreakers will not be admitted to heaven, none! His law will still be honored in heaven, for ever, and ever.
When does this scenario of Matthew 7:21-23 occur? It occurs when Jesus returns. Millions of Christians will be denied entry to heaven not because of their lack of faith, but because they practice lawlessness. They are guilty of breaking the law. They are lawbreakers. I believe that Paul’s writings of Ephesians 2:8-9, Galatians 3:11, Galatians 3:24 were not inspired by the Holy Spirit. What happened to the men/women of great faith described in Matthew 7:21-23 was the result of the apostle Paul’s teachings, lawbreakers, grabbing somebody’s wife and grabbing somebody’s husband under grace, breaking laws, and practicing lawlessless. I believe that certain writings of Paul should be permanently abolished from the Bible. Commentaries about the Bible that don’t make sense on the Internet based on Paul’s writings are insulting to both God the Father and God the Son.
Listen to Jesus. He said if we love Him keep His commandments. God the Father said keep His commandments if we love Him. Both God the Father and Jesus are honest. They don’t talk from both ends of their bodies.
Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me in that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23.
Readers, are we doing the will of God the Father, or are we doing the will of Paul? Or, are we among the many whom Jesus will reject?
