Saul's original name had been changed to paul . jesus christ chose paul to be our apostle for the church age. to to the jews and gentiles of whomever. jesus christ gave the apostle paul a revelation being the gospel of salvation that god will use ( 1 corinthians 15:1-4 ) to judge the church comprised of jews or gentiles or whoever who believes the cospel of salvation ( 1corinthians15:1-4 ) you must believe in your heart that jesus died for your sins by shedding his blood on the cross of calvary, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the scripyure to be saved and have everlasting life. jesus christ manifested in the flesh ( 1 tim 3:16) loved you enough to die in your place for your sins. jesus christ had already died shedding his blood for our sins whereas the gospel for salvation john preached to the jews 2000 years ago ( john 3:16) preaching that god gave his son that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. what should they believe when john preached to the jews of israel john 3:16 ? ought they believe that christ was given to them that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,but have everlasting life. this is correct because jesus christ had not been crucified, but the church of the church age will be judged by the gospel of salvation ( 1 cor. 15:1-4) revealed to paul from a revelation from jesus christ for their salvation having everlasting life, whether you be a jew or a gentile. remember god will do the judging, otherwise if you do not trust in the shed blood of jesus christ on the cross of calvary then pay the penalty yourslf and burn in the lake of fire in torment for eternally! that will be your price you will have to pay for not trusting and believing your substitute jesus christ dying, shedding his blood on the cross of calvary .

Hi Richard.

Thanks for posting, you make some good points, but in reading your post you seem to be stating that Paul is preaching a different gospel than Jesus. Please correct me if I am interpreting your post wrong.

I believe it is very important that we understand that Paul and Jesus preached the same Gospel. This is: The Gospel of the Kingdom.

The gospel of the kingdom is the "Good News" that can be embraced by anyone who surrenders their life to Christ and begins to follow Jesus in their daily life.

Jesus talks about the Gospel of the Kingdom throughout his ministry.

Mark 1:15

"And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."

Paul also taught the Gospel of the Kingdom.

Acts 20:25

"And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more."

It is the "same gospel" yesterday, today, and tomorrow - forever!

God Bless.

Amen Richard. It's truth and It's throughout scripture.

God bless.
