I tend to give more credibility to the words of Jesus than those of Paul. The two are not always on the same side of an issue.

Really? So why did the Lord personally come to him on the Damascus Road if Paul was going to go rogue on Him? Frankly, that statement sounds like a convenient way to spin the words of Jesus in the way you want without having to deal with Paul's accurate interpretation of the Lord's words. As long as we are talking about credibility, Paul's far surpasses yours.

Paul was very clear to state what he knew from Divine guidance and what was his own opinion where no Divine guidance was provided. He stated it and distinguished between the two.

Remember, even Jesus changed His opinion during His lifetime and ministry as He grew in understanding. Remember when He refused to heal the woman as she was not of His flock, until she asked if a dog were not worthy of the crumbs from his master’s table.

Both Peter and Paul were filled with the Holy Spirit, but they had disagreements about various topics.

If you understand how the human soul functions, then you can understand this whole question about why being single is better than being married and why husband & wife become one in the eyes of God. It’s easy to demonstrate.

Jesus summed his Father’s Will in a few words in His explanation of the “tares in the wheat” parable in Matthew 13. We are the good seeds planted here on earth to grow. Me, I’m just a farmer, trying to help souls grow.
