False claim[1], Jesus Tells Apostles To Teach His Commands Given Prior to His Ascension While In The Flesh, But Paul Says Not To Do So
- Paul preached Christ first. The Churches he was writing were already following Christ's teachings. For the most part they were no longer praying to the Fathers of the earth like the Patronus of Rome or the Conscripted fathers and those Benefactors who were exercising authority one over the other for their benefits. The early Church were now helping to provide those welfare benefits of society through faith, hope and charity and the perfect law of liberty.
- Again Paul goes into great detail about those who will Not inherit the kingdom because of what they do and do not do in clear violations of the commandments of Jesus. Just because some say that "Paul's statement in 2 Corinthians 5:16 is interpreted to justify rejecting the idea of teaching the commandments by Jesus before the crucifixion" that does not mean that Paul was saying that at all. Paul is not responsible for false interpretations by others.
- Reading Paul in context of what he is writing and to whom he is writing is important. When he says "we" he is talking to Christians who saw "the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God" and "renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth..."[2] The truth is that Christians would not pray to the gods of the world nor apply for their benefits and social welfare. In that time the people were blinded by the rulers who offered them welfare through their Temples. The difference between caring for the needy of society by taxation or by charity was at the heart of the Christian conflict with Rome.[3]
- Paul spoke of their persecution but encouraged their willingness to bear the burden working in them.[4]
