Does Paul have the authority to alter Christ's message?
That includes adding to it and/or subtracting from it.

So I'm really still waiting for your answer to the second one.
Originally posted by MaustrauserI know because Peter verified it and because everything Paul preached agrees with what Jesus preached and what the OT says.
How do you know this? Because Paul said so? Or do you have something more concrete?
Is it the same authority that Darfius has to preach your god's message?
I have the authority to share God's Word to the nations.
Originally posted by frogstompIf you're asking did Paul have the authority to preach something Jesus would not have agreed with, then no, he didn't. The Holy Spirit told Paul all he needed to preach.
