Q&A Home > S > St. Paul

I heard some people differentiate between the words of St. Paul and the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, what do you think about this?

We should not differentiate between the words of St. Paul and the words of Christ because:
The Lord said, "He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me" (Luke 10:16).

St. Paul also says, "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" (1 Cor 14:37).

Also we read in the Holy Book of 2 Tim 3:16, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."

Also St. Peter says, "Knowing this first that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" (2 Pet 1:20,21).
