Peter didn't endorse paul, the sham translation in 2 Peter 3:16 "hard to understand" is translated from the greek word dusnoetos or G1425, this word is constructed from the prefix "dys" or G1418 and "noetos" or G3539. Peter was saying paul's "writings" or "graphe" (not holy scripture, just regular writings) nullified understanding, he was not endorsing paul but politely saying his writings would cause misunderstanding. James also didn't endorse paul, in acts 15:19-20 James instructs everyone including Peter and Paul to teach the gentiles certain things, it is reiterated again during that same meeting in Acts 15:28-29, and again James mentions it when paul is called out for teaching the Jews who resided among the gentiles to forsake moses (apostasia Moses; lawlessness) and the everlasting covenant of circumcision which is spoken about in Genesis 17:4-14. Paul did not follow the instructions, he didn't instruct the gentiles in the way of LORD.
This dramatic saying of having to throw out most of the NT is not a very sound one. Plus the NT is Jesus, being that he is the Word of God in the flesh, not paul, and God did not error in forgetting to say something through his son.
Jesus instructed us to keep his commands so that we could both receive the spirit of truth and so that God can do his work through us, much like how God did his work through Jesus. Jesus said that those who believed in him would do the same works he had if not greater, in John 14:10-12, so he defines belief for us, he said that God desires a specific kind of worshipper which is described in John 4:23-24 > in order to receive what is necessary to worship his father, we must obtain the spirit of truth or John 14:15-17.
Paul doesn't teach any of these fundamentals, because he didn't walk with Jesus, he doesn't quote one parable or instruction of Jesus, he merely says to believe in Jesus as you would santa claus by acknowledging what he did on the cross rather than obeying him. What Jesus did on the cross was for the will of the Father according to him (John 10:17) everything is about doing his father's will: it's how we receive the spirit of truth, it's how we go about obeying the commands which paul calls a ministry of death etched in stone, it's how we become family such as how Jesus articulated what family is to him in Matthew 12:49-50. Despite paul not even being a witness to Jesus' crucifixion, he insists he's an expert, he even goes so far as to say Jesus went joyfully to the cross, but yet Jesus prayed three times fo rhis Father to take away the cup from him, yet nonetheless, he said "Your will be done" to his Father. It's always, always always about doing God's will.
Obeying the commands and receiving the spirit of God so that his Father may do good works in us, is not us trying to be justified of the law! There is only one who is good, as Jesus would say such as when he was instructing the rich man on how to obtain eternal life in Matthew 19:16-19 – only one who can do good work, so no we are not saved by our own works, but we will be judged by what is written in the books about us. These works if they are good, aren't even ours because if they are truly good it would mean we are doing the will of Jesus' Father! And it is by these works we will be judged come Revelation 20:12-15 and 21:8, because Jesus said Revelation 22:12 and that goes for every single church of Asia he spoke about in chapters 2-3. Faith without works is dead, as James had said, another piece of evidence that the original 12 did not endorse paul.
Paul was not a witness of Jesus' ministry, and by this alone isn't even eligible to be an apostle of Jesus who would be qualified to replace Judas Iscariot. The requirements to replace Judas Iscariot is listed in Acts 1:21-26 by Peter himself. They nominated two who were eligible, Barnabas who was called Justus and Matthias, after praying to LORD saying the LORD knows what's in our hearts, they casted lots and it fell to Mattias which was when he was added onto the remaining 11 apostles. There are only 12 apostles of the Jesus, confirmed by Jesus in Matthew 1928, confirmed by Apostle John in Revelation 21:14 – for the 12 tribes of Israel, confirmed by Jacob as he spoke his last words to his 12 sons in Genesis 49:1-28, and confirmed by LORD in Exodus 28:9-21 when it came to the two onyx stones that were to be upon Aaron's breastplate, with the name of 6 sons on each of them representing the 12 tribes of Israel. There are not 13 apostles, there are not 13 tribes (Joseph is not 2 tribes as some people speculate, not according to LORD).
So yeah paul is false, self proclaimed apostle, and is the only one who incessantly calls himself an apostle throughout his letters, no other person says he's an apostle, not even the light he allegedly saw on the road to damascus, that declared itself Jesus, proclaims him an apostle. On the contrary, Jesus warned that people like him would arise before his coming, which is listed in Matthew 24:3-30, some people actually heeded Jesus' warning, such as the church of Ephesus in Revelation 2:2 who actually found false apostles, of those who "called themselves apostles" but were not actual apostles of Jesus.
Jesus' warnings are for us as well since paul's doctrine is still alive and used to this day in paulianity – Jesus said not to believe such a man who said he saw him out in the desert or wilderness (outside of the city), which is exactly what paul did. Jesus said that the sign of a deceiver is in great signs and wonders, but paul insists these are the mark of a true apostle in 2 corinthians 12:12. He said false christs, prophets, would come, along with earthquakes, rumors of wars, famines and etc… and then the sign of the son of man would appear.
In Col 2 paul teaches the believers there not to let anyone judge them in any manner of food* or observance of the sabbath, but Jesus, who judges the 7 churches of Asia by their faith as well as their works, has a different opinion about Laodicea (referenced in Col 2) and the fruits of Laodicea were lukewarm listed in revelation 3:14-19, a church like Ephesus which paul had taught at who found false aposltes as mentioned already, and also at Pergamos was held the doctrine of balaamb and the nicolaitans – both of which are teachings pertaining to idol worship/eating food sacrificed to them which Jesus hated – what paul taught to the Colossians
The doctrine of Balaamb had to do with eating foods sacrificed to idols, which paul ordained the human conscience superseded the will of God in his writings in Col 2.
The Nicolaitans being a sect that also included acts of fornication in their traditions.
Paul was a hellenized Jew, so it is natural for him to mix teachings – that's what hellenized Jews did they mixed greek traditions, philosophy and mythology into their Judaism. The more you dig into paul's writings and history, you'll find that there was a division between him and Jesus' 12 apostles, that they were in disagreement with each other.
So sorry to say it, but this half-cocked assessement of paul and whether or not he's false is utter laziness.
Where can I get a copy of the epistles of the apostles that your quoting
He is 100% a False Apostle. I have many deep bible studies on him in my Playlist. Even the Elect can be decieved. Satan warned he would send his own Apostles to decieve when he failed to tempt Jesus in the wilderness in the Clementine Homilies Chapter 35.
Jesus said if someone says they see him after He leaves they are liars
No one ever seen Paul with Jesus
Jesus said when He returns every eye will see Him
There are only 12 Apostles not 13
Paul is from the House of Benjamin which are Ravenous Wolves. Jesus warned of Wolves in Sheep's clothing who are Ravenous Wolves
He never met the Conditions to be an Apostle
He was never Called an Apostle by any of the 12 true Apostles. Just a beloved brother.
So much shows he was a false Apostle. No facts has been given in this video.
its not about throwing out 2/3s of the new testament, its about proving false teaching and a character of an author who has documented and starting his own false teaching and the other authors and Christ warning us of him. over two years I have come up with 119 pages of words Paul says about himself and Jesus words which prove it was not him in the light, and James, Jude and John all work to warn believers that anyone who comes after the Messiah is false teaching which add to or take away Christ own teachings. I've given the first 7 proofs and no one has come back and said they are falsely compiled. Blessings. At Judgement. Yeshua will tell us, I did not say that, you followed Pauline doctrine.
Interesting, but you haven't dug deep enough, and when you think you're there it's still deeper
