Do you believe in inerrancy?


In Christ or man? yes and no... why does man think he has to add to Christ's teachings? It's the vanity of man that thinks he can improve Christ and it's this vanity that turns many away.

Christ is positive, Paul is negative, Christ is inclusive, Paul is exclusive, Christ is giving, Paul is punishment.

I do not have less understanding of Christ through the Holy Spirit because I do not follow Paul.

Jesus preached his words to the Jews. The Gentiles were entirely different and while the salvation message was the same, they needed different handling. Jesus hand picked Paul for the job. Unless you're a Jew, Jesus sent Paul to YOU.
