The preacher at this faggot church says he only believes the red letters.

That is how you think right? You condemn Paul for talking about sex. But Paul was using the old testament that Jesus told us to study

9 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

A lot of people don't like the Bible because it condemns their sin. You have talked several times about sex and women. You have also said sex is sex and doesn't matter. Perhaps that is your sin. Perhaps not. But it sounds like it sometimes. Is that why you don't like Paul.

You can't even come up with anything Paul said the contradicts scripture.

I condemn Paul for saying that what you do doesn’t matter, only what you think about Jesus. Jesus said, in his discussion of the sheep and the goats, that heaven or hell awaited people based on their charity, even if they did not recognize Jesus at the time. Jesus set a standard. Paul rejected that standard and set a different, easier standard (thinking Jesus is something is easier than feeding the poor, curing the sick, etc. The conflict is open and clear. James comments on it (coming down on the side of Jesus). The rest of my problems with Paul pale beside this central issue. Yelling absurdities at me isn’t going to help Paul’s case.

I condemn Paul for saying that what you do doesn’t matter, only what you think about Jesus. Jesus said,

It would help if you directed me to the verses in question. I'm not smart enough to automatically know that.

I don’t have a Bible with me. It is Paul’s central argument in Romans, and the basis of Lthe Protestant Reformation: faith alone, as opposed to good works.

The sheep and the goats and Jesus, you know this story.

These are big central themes, not side issues.

Paul said faith, and that works were unavailing. Jesus said charity. Paul, of course, didn’t know Jesus had said that. He never met him, and the Gospels weren’t written yet.

It neither surprises nor offends me that Paul has a fundamentally different view. But it DOES highlight the face that Jesus and Paul taught different things - things that have been in violent opposition siince Martin Luther. I choose to follow Jesus’ words, BECAUSE of the Shroud of Turin.

Get back to me when you have the verses. I will look at it. Not that I know everything.

When I don't understand something in the Bible, my thinking is keep knocking and looking until I understand. Not to put myself above Gods holy word and say I'm smarter than God and that part must not be true since I don't understand it right away.
