Do you know why Apostle Paul did not take Judas place and become one of the 12 apostles? He did not become one of the 12 because he was not teaching the same gospel (the Law) as they were. The 12 was teaching the law, to the circumcised Jews, and Paul was preaching the Cross . The 12 did not teach the cross. You can read the 4 gospels Mathews Mark Luke and John, and will see that they did not preach the cross. In Matthew 16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go into Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priest and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day, Matthew 16:22 then Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. :23 Jesus said to Peter But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan thou art an offence unto me for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Its obvious that Peter did not know that Jesus was going to die and what it would do for the world if they believe, that he died for their sins and resurrected. When Jesus came to them after the resurrection, they was totally in dismay because they did not know that after his death he was going to resurrect. When Jesus appeared to the apostles, Thomas would not believe until he was able to put his hands in his wounds, and he exclaimed My Lord and my God. You will never see in the 4 gospels any mention of the body of christ and the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ to be for salvation. Apostal Paul preached the cross and the resurrection. What is so wonderful about the death of Jesus, is that when we believe this message, we are saved and sealed, we never have to worry about being lost again. That is what is called eternal security. Read Ephesian 1:13 it reads, In whom ye also trusted after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise. We, those who are saved in this dispensation, the body of Christ will be in heaven. Those who was saved under the law , will reside on this earth, We are saved by believing only, we do not have to work for salvation, it is through our faith. Paul Gospel Romans through Philemon, is the gospel for this dispensation. All of the things that the different churches try to hold on to that was preached in the 4 gospels is not for us, you are reading the message to the Jews at that time. Today if a Jew gets saved, he has to believe Apostle Pauls message and be saved and he will be in the body of Christ. When you read in James Faith without works is dead, you are reading someone else mail. The dispensation of Grace is not obtain through works, its obtained through faith. We walk by faith and not by sight. The Jews walked by sight and then by faith, they had to see. The Jews was God sign people, and God gave them many signs and wonders. When Thomas believed because he put his hands in Jesus wounds, in John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me thou hast believed; blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
