What's up with Peter and James versus Paul?




SOCIAL MEDIA STATEMENT:

I’ve read some of Martin Zenders books and one of them, called, ‘The First Idiot in Heaven’ speaks of the differences of these two ministries. Martin is a Bible scholar and is well learned.

He teaches that the gospel of the circumcision (given to Peter) v the gospel of the uncircumcision (given to Paul) was both separate and quite different. The Bible seems to distinguish between these two gospels.

interesting as I’ve never been able to understand the book of James against the pure grace spoken of by the Apostle Paul.

I'm unsure about all of Martin’s teachings but I do enjoy reading some of his literature.

MY REPLY:

When one studies the scriptures, rightly divides between these two programs, it is plain and clear to see in the scriptures for oneself that Peters ministry and gospel to the circumcision was very different to Paul’s ministry and gospel to the uncircumcised. The bible, and all characters and the things they did and taught become clear and simple. It is when one blends the two programs together when things get messy and confusing and things don’t seem to gel, like your example of James.

James is written and addressed to Israel under the Kingdom gospel (during the prophetic program). The doctrine does not fit well with Paul’s doctrine which is written to the Body of Christ under the Mystery program. Churches today ignore this and when they blend things together, teaching Jams and Paul in one sermon, then it confuses everyone, and it generates a false doctrine that contradicts and does harm to faith and relationship with God.
