You are not listening. Paul's teaching IS Christ's teaching for the Church the BOdy of Christ. Get it? He received it directly from the risen Christ through revelations from the risen Christ.

"But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached OF ME is NOT AFTER MAN. For I NEITHER RECEIVED IT OF MAN, NEITHER WAS I TAUGHT IT, BUT BY REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST."

Get it? Peter didn't teach him. John didn't teach him. None of the 12 Apostles taught him. JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF TAUGHT HIM THE GOSPEL HE PREACHED.

It cannot be any simpler. You would have to purposely choose to disregard what he said to not get it. Disregard away, it's your choice. But it doesn't change the truth. You tell Christ one day that the revelation He gave Paul concerning the gospel Paul preached was a comedy skit to you. That it wasn't Christ's teaching. And you know it wasn't because that's not Christianity to you..good luck

I'm not disregarding you, I'm simplifying your teachers absurd teaching that calls itself 'Christian.'

Paul's teaching IS Christ's teaching

Not in your version. You have Christ teaching Paul differently than he taught his disciples and other Apostles.

That's different, not the same. You wouldn't have your religion beginning around 63 A.D. if it were the same teaching.

The whole point of your religion is that Paul teaches something different than Christ's ministry.

Christians follow Christ, period. Dispensationalism is absurd from the git – go.

Why does Paul spend 15 days with Kephas, making it clear he had been only with Peter and had only seen James briefly?

It was important, because of who Paul had been, a persecutor of Christians, to show that he had been converted and taught by Jesus and not by men.

It was a matter of trust, not that Paul had received a different gospel.

Read further in Galatians and you find this....

Gal. 2:2] And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.

Gal 2:9[9] And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

Paul was making sure that he was teaching and preaching the gospel correctly, confirming with the others that he was not in error. He sought out and received the approval of his message from the others, the “leaders”, first Peter(Kephas), then the others.

Christ did not spend three years teaching and preparing the Apostles to then reveal a different gospel to Paul.

We are all one, there is no Jew, no Gentile, no man nor woman, slave nor free in Christ Jesus and there is one Christ for us all and one message of grace and salvation.
