>> “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?” <<

Matthew 24:

[8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.
[9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
[10] And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
[11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
[12] And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

An interesting paradox, is it not? The difference between Yeshua's teaching, and Paul's?

It is not a paradox IMO at all. What came between the Words of Yeshua and His apostles in space and time?
