New TestamentPaul’s Letters |
How did Paul defend his position? |
Paul explained that the gospel he taught them was not from him, a human. The gospel he spread was given to him by divine revelation. Neither circumcision nor the adherence to any other Mosaic laws was required to become a Christian. Paul wrote, “For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh love.” (KJV, Galatians 5:6)
