I do not agree with Paul on many of his statements. However, I understand why he made them.

If you disagree with Paul, then you disagree with God, because Paul wrote scripture. You need to take it upon with God, because HE is the one you disagree with, not Paul.

Even Peter and Paul argued over the interpretation and application of Jesus’s teachings.

Prove it bro. Paul confronted Peter on his social associations. Hardly arguing about doctrinal issues. Other than that, show me in scripture, where they argued about doctrinal differences. On second thought, don’t bother. You won’t find any. By the way, you mentioned the application of Jesus’ teachings. Which Jesus are you referring to? The Jesus of Mormonism, or new age cults? Sorry bro. I am not buying what you are selling. As a free American, I have the privilege to disagree with you, and I surely do.

“Other than that, show me in scripture, where they argued about doctrinal differences.”

What about circumcision vs non- circumcision.

Even Jesus changed as He grew and developed in the Spirit of Our Father. At first, He thought His message was only for the Jews. But even as even a dog is worthy of crumbs from his master’s table, Jesus realized His message was for everyone.

This is what caused the disputes between Peter and Paul. Jesus changed His instructions when He left the earthly realm and could better receive His Father’s instructions.

You also have the ability to disagree with God, and surely you do.

Or, as the spiritual ego does, are you playing God and claiming that your will is God’s Will? Time will tell.

That is the greatest battle in this spiritual journey. I’ve observed many people taste and experience that Love and Bliss of God, and then like the 16 year old that thinks they know it all, start imitating God rather than welcoming Him into yourself. This is very common in NDE’s.

I do not possess the knowledge of God, the knowledge possesses me.

Which is close to such cultists as Swedenborg (who imagined he argued with Paul and won) and the Roy Masters with his demonic meditations.

And as said before, reproved esoterica of tired&retired such as "This “born again” has physical changes in perception. It has to do with raising your consciousness frequency through prayer and meditation to levels where you perceive directly with your consciousness beyond your physical body..... This is how the Christian mystics and Saints do what they do." "You are actually raising your brain wave frequency above 40 Hz as reflected on an EEG. This is the “lifted or raised up” Jesus spoke of. It is only with your higher prayerful consciousness that you will perceive Jesus, just as the lightning in the east is seen in the west."

is part of his "theology" which is in and behind so many of his claims. Which also includes "The life review process is merely the soul absorbing the Light energy of Heaven causing it to expand through the stored memories in their soul in reverse sequence. This is what Paul was referring to in Hebrews 9:28",.. "Merely touching a sin stored many feet from a person’s physical body in their soul often knocks the person off their feet. When people die near me, I get freezing cold as they are draining my soul energy to expand," and "a 97 year old woman who was blind and bedridden... did not eat anything for the next 3 weeks...I sat next to her, praying non stop...Her physical body began radiating heat like a furnace...I could see the liquid swirling golden Light around the woman... the Holy Spirit came upon her in a lower strength of Light and cleansed her soul for 3 weeks before she was pure enough to be in the Light of Heaven" "With enough meditation and prayer, anyone can make this journey to Heaven while still in your physical body").
