[Pistias]

Jesus is talking to men under the Romans. Why would He give them advice on the state of nature? (and the answering Scripture is "who sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed")...though I'm afraid I'm going to have to give the Christ the benefit of the doubt here over Paul.

though I'm afraid I'm going to have to give the Christ the benefit of the doubt here over Paul.

I believe that Paul was divinely inspired by Christ, thus what Paul says is what Christ says.
