A Christian is a follower of Christ. Paul was given REVELATIONS from Christ, that he followed. Thus he says to THE CHURCH "For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through THE GOSPEL. Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach EVERY WHERE IN EVERY CHURCH." (1 Cor. 4:15-17).
Now I know some things Paul said are hard to be understood, even Peter said this. Paul was a Christian. I am a Christian.
what is so hard to understand about this? Nothing if you can read. Everything if all you can do is deny one truth after another.
Yes. The rest is not the Word of God; it is the word of God. Read Luke 1: for more enlightenment.

Yes. Paul was telling people his own interpretation of the revelation of Christ as he received it. Much as John received his own interpretation of the revelation of Christ as he received it.
However, the red letters are the quotes from Christ. Jesus Christ. Lord God Almighty. No interpretation. Just His Words. I do not believe that people who equate the words of the Chronicler with the Words of the Risen Lord Jesus Christ are really Christians. They are Judaizers; they are Paulicians; they are all manner of those condemned during the first millennium as heretics.

Sounds like a Mormon minute to me. If you do not believe that the quotations of the Lord Jesus Christ are the pinnacle of God's revelation to us, and therefore the most important and cherished words communicated to man, I cannot believe that you are truly Christian. Now it is you that follow the traditions of men. It is you that depart from God's Word (Jesus). If you do not depend on God's Word (red letter), then whose word do you depend on?
