PAUL...To all that are at Rome, the beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace to you and peace, from God our Father... Rom 1:1-7.

1:1 PAUL, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother, 1:2 To the church of God that is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place of theirs and ours. 1 Cor 1:1-2

2 Corinthians 1
1:1 PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother: to the church of God that is at Corinth, with all the saints that are in all Achaia:

1:1 PAUL, an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead:
1:2 And all the brethren who are with me: to the churches of Galatia. Gal 1:1

Need I go on? Clearly it’s PAUL who is writing those letters. No where do any of his greetings say, in other words, “I Paul, writing for the Holy Spirit...”

No! It’s HIS (Paul’s own) words he’s writing. He’s not some secretary or dictation machine.

Perhaps you just read too fast?

Every time Paul offers something that was not personally revealed to him by Yeshua, he states that it is his own opinion.

All of Paul’s doctrine came from Yeshua, and the Torah that Yeshua confirmed to his disciples.

Quoting Paul, "For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord"

In another place Paul writes, "Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ."

And in yet another place Paul writes, "If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord."

And finally Peter wrote to those he was assigned as Apostle, "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: ... Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. ... But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear"

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith in the Promise of God makes it real in you today, for a Promise from God is a guarantee across all of time and eternity..
