Please show me where I disregarded Jesus words. And of course Pauls words were the words of God as well! How little do you know about the New testament if you think otherwise!
"We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophets own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." 2 Peter 1
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy
You continue to twist my words and claim I am the one twisting the bible. I never said I never read or desired the Old testament. I have read it cover to cover, I would never go off just a whim of thinking I know it in my heart, it is the Holy Spirit that has taken off the veil of the Old testament in my heart. Without Christ, the veil is still there and you cannot understand it.
But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 2 Corinthians 3 14
I pity you. you are still stuck under the Old testament laws thinking salvation is found in them. Please turn to Christ and Come to the cross where true salvation awaits. There is freedom! There is forgiveness once and for all. Christ has died for your sins, you no longer have to be bound by all of these laws which you cannot even fulfill in the first place. And Jesus did declare ALL foods clean once and for all many times.
What goes into someone's mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them." Matthew 15 11
"The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer" 1 Timothy 4
As you can see ALL food is clean and consecrated by the word of God and prayer. You are trying to deceive the people into the law like all of the enemies of Christ that He came against and the enemies of the apostles. With just one read through the New testament it is clear it is the law that does not save and it is the law that has been abolished (mosaic law) and by abolished I mean for us to practice it any longer. There is a greater covenant and the new one is here to stay while the former is passing away.
"By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear." Hebrews 8 13
The only use for the law for us now is to point us to Christ to show us the way to salvation. It is to point out our sins.
For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because the righteous will live by faith.[SUP]f[/SUP] The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, The person who does these things will live by them. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Galatians 3
Read carefully that scripture, these are the words of God, just as Jesus words for the Lord spoke from the Father just as the apostle Paul spoke from the Lord.
Going back, Pauls words never went against the Messiahs words at all. Show me where you think they did and I will prove you a liar.
"Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar." Proverbs 30 60
And the lie comes from the fact that we can be merely good on our own works. There is nothing we can do to inheir tsalvation or goodness on our own. I iwll leave you with this.
There is no one righteous, not even one;
there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.
All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.
Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.
The poison of vipers is on their lips.
Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.
Their feet are swift to shed blood;
ruin and misery mark their ways,
and the way of peace they do not know.
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in Gods sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
Your misconception is that you think the Old covenant is perfect. There is error in this, the reason why Jesus came was because it was not perfect and in need of change. It could not save anyone at all. It was temporary sacrifice which was needed year after year and provided no true forgiveness of sins because if so, it would have only been needed one and for all.
"For if there has been nothing wrong with the first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. But God found fault with the people and said: "the time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord. This si the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declare the Lord. I will put my laws in their heart and write then on their hearts. I will be their God and the will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor or a man his brother, saying 'know the Lord' because they will all know me from the least to the greatest. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." Hebrews 8
By calling this covenant "new", he has made the frist one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear. hebrews 8 13
