So Romans authority did not get involved. What Roman authority might he have had and why? Paul didn't have any Romans authority; When Paul reiterated his past experiences of oppressing the church, he said he did it was due to his zealous as a Pharisee, that he thought was righteousness (Phl 3:6). But now he knew it was God mercy to him because ...
Paul didn’t say I have authority because I’ve been appointed by the church and all church leaders are God’s delegated authority. The Corinthians originally recognized Paul’s authority as their Father in the gospel (1Cor 4:15). Even this authority had limits. He had no authority to tear down (2Cor 10:8).

In Acts 9we learn that Paul/Saul was breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord. He went to the High Priest, and asked for letters from him. He would take the letters from the High Priest to the synagogues of Damascus. If he found any belonging to the “Way”, both men and women, he would bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he was t...
In Romans 1:1Paul makes these claims: 1. He is abond-slaveof Jesus Christ, 2. He is called as anapostle, 3. He is set apartfor the gospel of God. With this introduction Paul steps right out and lets his reader know that he is a man of authority. Authority given to him from God and Christ Jesus. This authority, this calling, and chosing he did not t...
Are There Still Apostles Today? Yes and No!
We will look at NO first. I believe it is to our benefit to make a distinction between those Christ called tolay the foundation of the church, and those who continue today preaching the truths first laid out by the “APOSTLES.” Let’s look at some qualifications that are taught in scripture concerning these first Apostles. Listed below are a few qualifications that were uniqueto them. 1. They were eyewitnesses to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Acts 1:22 2. They were specifically commissioned...
Now to answer “Yes” are there apostles today? From our studies we know that the word apostle means one sent out with a message. We have pastors, elders, missionaries and evangelists who have been called out by God to teach and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. But, these men cannot make the same claims as Paul and the others. 1. They certainly hav...
Why is it important for us to understand Paul’s God-given authority? We are going to answer this question from the angle of the infallible word of God. If I do not believe that Paul and all the other writers of the Bible were inspired by God through the Holy Spirit to write His word, my faith is useless. How can I decide what is right or wrong with...
The Original Apostles Laid the foundation of the church. Our pastors, Elders, missionaries, evangelists are building on that original foundation. In Matthew 28:18-20Jesus teaches, ” All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the ...
Micah 6:8teaches, ” He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.” As a bond-slave of Jesus Christ, one whose will is consumed with the will of Christ, 1. Do justice 2. Love Kindness 3. Submit to the Bibles Authority
Paul himself says that in Jerusalem he not only exercised the power of imprisonment by commission from the High Priests, but also, when the Christians were put to death, gave his vote against them. From this expression it is natural to infer that he was a member of that supreme court of judicature. Paul's zeal in conducting the persecution was ...
Jun 27, 2023 · QUESTION: You mention in your book “Did Jesus Exist?” that Paul started his persecution of Christians in the early 30s. If he was tasked with hunting down Christians by the Sanhedrin he must have had a fairly high position among the Sanhedrin (I don’t mean that he was a member).
Dec 29, 2023 · Later on, he explains a little bit more why he did what he did. I too was convinced that I ought to do all I could to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth. And that is what I did in Jerusalem. With authority from the chief priests I put many of the saints in prison, and when they were condemned to death, I cast my vote against them.

3) Paul’s Vision in Prison (Acts 23:11). This is the big “Roman Catholic” passage that I stress in my book on Saint Paul as Roman and in my book on Rome as the Capital of Christianity. Here Jesus Christ connects the Apostolic ministry from Jerusalem…to Rome. Romanism is a mandate delivered to Paul from the resurrected mouth of Jesus Christ:
