12th Meeting Discussion of Paul and Jesus

Jesus Christ was the first to talk about the second coming; and since He will be the principle character when it happens. I can not understand why His words on the subject are left out when looking at Revelation. Jesus said in His Sermon on the Mount, that He came to fulfill the law and the prophets. If this is what Jesus taught, and Paul is His apostle, Paul would also teach the same things. When Jesus was teaching the Gospel what did He say concerning His relationship with His Father? Didn't Jesus say "I do the works of my Father who sent Me". "You will know my words are true because they are my Father's Words?" If all of this is true, then how can we just look at what Paul says and apply our own meaning to what he says or does not say?? As I pointed out yesterday, Paul knew the Old Testament and therefore knew what it said concerning End Times.
The doctrine that Jesus and Paul taught is the same, not different. Jesus said "If it were not so I would have told you"!!

The Old Testament talks about end times in more places than just the major and minor prophets. The Psalms also speak of how things will be. We will be looking at these as well. If you look back to the beginning of my blog I wrote what the intent of this class was to be. And I warned that the whole Bible would be brought to the table, not just the verses that back a certain opinion. This is why I have not looked at the different schools of thought yet, I feel that you need to know what the Bible says on the subject, before you can make a decision of which school if any you will believe. We need to look at the whole truth not just pieces of it.
