Title:
He who rejects ...
Reading the May 26 "Paul vs. Jesus" letter
to the editor brought to mind a few
scriptures that establish Jesus' support for
Peter and Peter's support for Paul. When one
rejects the epistles of Paul, one has rejected
Christianity.
Jesus said to Peter: "And I will give unto
thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and
whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be
bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt
loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven"
So if you reject Peter, you reject Christ.
Peter said of Paul, accounting Paul's words
as scripture: "And account [that] the longsuf-
fering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our
beloved brother Paul also according to the
wisdom given unto him hath written unto
you."
The rejectors of Paul are simply rejectors
of the Bible and the God of the Bible and do
not in any way represent Bible Christianity.

Since it contained more scripture I feel to include here the original text that I submitted to the Herald Sun.
Those who Paul, reject the Bible
Reading the Paul vs Jesus letter to the editor brought to mind a few scriptures that establish Jesus's support for Peter and Peter's support for Paul. When one rejects the epistles of Paul, one has rejected Christianity.
Jesus said to Peter: MAT 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
So if you reject Peter, you reject Christ.
Peter said of Paul, accounting Paul's words as scripture:
2PETER 3:15 And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 2PETER 3:16 As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
The rejectors of Paul are simply rejectors of the Bible and the God of the Bible and do not in any way represent Bible Christianity.
