Jesus Not Paul/Acts Ministry’s goal is to promote Jesus’ teachings as reflected in the writings of the eye witnesses to His ministry, and in so doing lead people to His truths while helping them to exclude the confusion, lies, and contradictory teachings found particularly in the Pauline epistles.

This is the first of a series of pamphlets that discuss a man called Paul who said he was “an Apostle” of Jesus who is credited for writing 14 epistles and nearly 40,000 words found in the Christian New Testament. This is a way larger contribution to the Bible than the Words of Jesus and His Apostles, and while this in and of itself isn’t a problem, the fact that many of Paul’s teachings DIRECTLY CONTRADICT Jesus and much of the First Testament IS. Just one contradiction would prove Paul a false prophet, but there are MANY.
Before we do so we must first say that Jesus Christ IS the Son of God, the Messiah, and that His Gospel is infallible and the only one by which we may receive salvation. It is upon this Truth that we make our stand, as many false doctrines have arisen from the epistles, such as freedom to “eat things sacrificed to idols” (which has also allowed the paganism in the Church that is prevalent to this day), "Sola Fide" (by faith alone), "We're No Longer Under the Law," "Once Saved, Always Saved," "Pre-
This does not mean that the epistles are entirely in error for many truths are interspersed among the lies and heresies. But one who studies can easily find Paul arguing multiple sides of many issues, leaving the reader confused and mystified by the word salad he regurgitates. For example, a person who believes that God’s Law is still in place can find supporting arguments while the grace only Believer may read from a portion of Paul's works and argue equally as authoritatively. Paul writes as a scribe, often with speculation and wild opinions (see hair coverings for women discussed in 1 Cor 11 where Paul makes a long argument for it and then settles upon “we have no such tradition.”)
Jesus, however, taught with AUTHORITY and without confusion and when one isolates the "red-
So come with us on this journey, as we reveal the lies of Paul (or at least those attributed to him), while we also endeavor to make clear the true Gospel of our only Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Paul taught that we are NOT judged by our works (Galatians 2-
The second chapter of James is practically a treatise against the teachings attributed to Paul on this matter. It seems both Revelation and the Book of James were written just to oppose Paul’s heresies.

Paul teaches to eat things sacrificed to idols while Jesus condemns it, warning if people don't repent for doing so they will lose their salvations.
Many "newer to the faith" readers may not understand the context of this particular contradiction. What is important to glean, however, is that Paul directly contradicts Jesus when it comes to this principle of "eating things sacrificed to idols." Paul reckons it's fine and allowable if your faith and conscience are strong, but as long as you don't do so in front of your "weaker" brother who might see you and doesn't have the same level of "understanding" you do, then go ahead. But God's laws and commands have never been relative to the particular person, rather, we are all subject to the same exact standards. As far as idolatry is concerned, God has reckoned it, as well as eating foods sacrificed to idols, absolutely abominable and forbidden from Genesis all the way through Revelation, and, excepting Paul’s writings, this practice has never been allowed by God. Paul certainly qualifies to be that false apostle for which Jesus speaks when he says to the Church at Pergamos, "But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication" (Revelation 2:14, also see 2:20).
Of course Paul seems to reverse himself on this in chapter ten (speaking out of both sides of his mouth as Paul does throughout his writings), creating confusion by which the reader is left scratching his head. But the damage is done, as most who call themselves Christians default to participating in eating meat sacrificed to idols during false Christian holidays such as Saturnalia/Sol Invicta/Christmas & Ishtar/Easter and even at their weekly “Day of the Sun” dinners. The Sabbath being changed to Sunday could have only occurred with the help of Paul’s writings which is why the Catholic Church was able to change it in the 4th century.

Jesus was very clear that not one jot or tittle would be done away with the law until heaven and earth pass and all is fulfilled (Matthew 5:18). Still, what Jesus did in shedding His blood took care of the blood sacrifices and works of the Levitical priesthood (Hebrews 10), as Jesus resolved for all time the need for any other propitiary blood sacrifice. The need for a physical temple building was also done away with as the Holy Spirit began to indwell Believers and we became the temples of God and as His kings and priests we serve God in these temples (Rev. 5:10). In this light, all the workings of the Levitical priesthood are also fulfilled because there are no more sacrifices and no more buildings to maintain.
As for the law, Paul taught that anyone who kept the law, or who was under the law, was under a curse for doing so (Galatians 3:10), misappropriating Deuteronomy 28 which teaches the blessings for keeping the law and curses for NOT DOING SO. Repercussions come on our lives for disobeying God's commandments, not for KEEPING THEM. Paul’s implication is that a man may not keep God’s commandments well enough to avoid the curses. But God has enabled us by His Holy Spirit to be able to obey His Word so as to avoid the curses. As Jesus told the man who He healed by the pool of Siloam, “Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee” (John 5:14).
Jesus made it very clear in the Gospels and especially in Revelation (12:17, 19:10) that the saved are those who "…keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." The Church, very quickly (even in the second century under the heretical spell of Marcion of Sinope), fell into the trap of dismissing the First Testament as well as the teachings of Jesus and His Apostles and began to rely on Paul's teachings in this regard. And now we have a hyper grace gospel wherethere's NOTHING YOU CAN do either to be saved or maintain salvation. This teaching is an ABOMINATION and aberration of the truth as nothing could be further from the Truth. This will lead to many standing before Jesus and hearing Him say, "…I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity" (Matt 7:23) because they believed they were not held to God’s laws (beginning with the Ten Commandments).

A) Paul calls his preaching “MY GOSPEL” (Romans 2:16, 16:25, 2 Tim 2:8) while also claiming a direct download from Jesus on what he knew though it contradicted Jesus and His Apostles.
B) Paul (Gal 1:9) cursed anyone believing a different gospel than his (which would have meant a curse upon Jesus Himself).
C) Paul believed he was not behind the “chiefest apostles” (2 Corinthians 11:5) though his name is not on the foundations of the New Jerusalem in Revelation 21:14.
D) Paul claims to be the Apostle to the “Gentiles,” but Jesus told ALL of the original Apostles on multiple occasions to “go to ALL Nations” (Matt 28), and “to ALL the world” (Mark 16). The apostles were not limited to one faction or another and the historical record points to them having traveled large swaths of the middle east into Asia. It seems, for us, that Paul was sent by Satan as a controller to the “Gentiles” to try to ensure none of them knew the real gospel and could get saved. Rather, they would maintain their pagan practices as most professing Christians do to this day.
E) Paul tells the Phillipians to follow him (rather than Jesus!) (Phillipians 3:17). But Jesus says there is only one True Shepherd and that’s Him (John 10)!

Jesus says that He "stands at the door and knocks" (Rev 3:20), and that it is up to us to invite Him in. He doesn't bully His way in, and yet the (suspect) Book of Acts enumerates a story where Jesus appears in a light, knocking Paul off his horse and blinding him to get his attention. This story is told three times in Acts, and all three have facts reported in contradictory manners to each other. Jesus does not force people to follow him as depicted in Paul’s blindness to salvation story.
There is so much more we could write about these matters here. Each point could be expounded upon greatly, but this pamphlet is meant to get you started on your own research. We sited many scriptures you can research to get your start. It’s so important that you seek God in prayer on this matter and don’t take our (or anyone else’s) word on this matter without prayer and your own research. You need to get confirmation in your own heart from the Holy Spirit.
If what we are saying is right, and we believe 100% that it is, then this means as you come to see the truth about these matters that you will be part of only a small number of people who call themselves Christians who know these truths and can direct others to the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our second tract will address this directly. We encourage you to share this information with others so that they can know the simplicity of the Gospel and what is required of us all to be saved.
We encourage people who are either confused by the epistles (and who wouldn’t be?), as well as new Believers, to read the Gospels of Matthew and John as well as the Book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ to get a clear view on what the Gospel is. Supplement that with 1 John, James and Hebrews and you will have no doubts about what is required of us as Believers and what Jesus came to teach. Stay away from Acts and the epistles attributed to Paul (at least for a while) as you get God’s Truths deep down in you.
