(Jude 1:3\u20134)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the end of the epistle, Jude wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But you, beloved, <strong>ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. <\/strong>(Jude 1:17)(NASB)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Apostles are eye witnesses, those who heard and learnt from the Lord Jesus Christ. Being guided by the Holy Spirit, these people registered in written form the teaching of the Savior.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Where was Paul\u2019s authority from?<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the old times, the enemies of the Gospel disputed Paul\u2019s authority the most. Their argument was that Apostle Paul was not near the Lord Jesus during\u00a0the Savior\u2019s three years ministry on\u00a0earth. In the Epistle to Galatians, Apostle Paul dedicated the first chapter to touch this subject and he writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.\u00a0For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through <strong>a revelation of Jesus Christ<\/strong>. (Galatians 1:11\u201312)(NASB)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When one reads this chapter attentively, he will see that Paul had very powerful arguments that prove that he had received the whole teaching of the Gospel through the revelation of Jesus Christ and then he presented\u00a0 that teaching\u00a0systematized and deeply in the Epistles he had written, being guided by the Holy Spirit. And then, apostles Paul didn\u2019t make rules he liked, but he wrote the things received from the Lord Jesus through divine revelation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Apostle Peter acknowledged\u00a0the divine inspiration of Paul\u2019s writings<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the second Epistle, Apostle Peter wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p>And regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you,\u00a0as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. (2 Peter 3:15\u201316)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When he says Scriptures, Apostle Peter refers to the Holy Scriptures, and these verses sets Paul\u2019s epistles side by side with the rest of the Scriptures.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">God keep each of us not to take away and not to add anything to the Words of God, but to believe them all, to fulfill them in our lives and to preach them with boldness and zeal to others.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Translated by Felicia Djugostran<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: The New Testament contains the writings of the apostles about Jesus\u2019 teachings.
