@akinzakinzz@DeNiike_ People are different, I can recall vividly and clearly as far back as 1.5 year old stuff I did and I’m over 30. I remember my first uniform and water bottle I sent to school on my first day. I have images of my teachers still in my visuals.
You know what Muslims, Mormons, and Jews say to me constantly?
“You don't follow Jesus. You follow Paul.”
Bro... you don't understand how Christianity works.
You do NOT need Paul to believe Jesus is the Messiah.
If Paul disappeared tomorrow, Christianity would still stand.
Why?
Because the Torah and the prophets already did the heavy lifting.
Genesis: sin enters the world.
Exodus and Leviticus: blood, atonement, and substitution.
Passover: the spotless lamb.
Isaiah: the suffering servant.
Daniel: the Messiah.
That's not Paul.
That's Moses, David, Isaiah, Daniel, and the entire prophetic story.
Paul didn't invent Jesus.
Paul looked at the Scriptures and realized:
This was ALWAYS about Him.
And Paul wasn't some random guy making up theology.
He was a Pharisee trained in the law.
So when he preached, what did he quote?
The Old Testament.
Over.
And over.
And over.
His argument was simple:
If the Scriptures are true, Jesus Christ is unavoidable.
So saying Christians follow Paul instead of Jesus is like saying you follow the referee instead of the rulebook.
Paul isn't the point.
He's pointing you to the point.
Don't like Paul?
Fine.
Read Isaiah 53 without him.
Read Psalm 22 without him.
Read Daniel 9 without him.
You'll still end up staring directly at Jesus.
Christianity isn't built on Paul.
It's built on the Messiah the Scriptures were already pointing to.
And once I finally read Paul charitably...
Bro.
The man was an absolute SAVAGE for the faith.
