Like i mentionned earlier Paul not only contradicted Jesus(pbuh) but he also contradicted himself.
Paul has been denounced by theologians and scholars throughout history, the hatred which he incited by his teachings against the Jewish Law, and the political support he gave to the Roman emperors, show how desperate he was to destroy the Nazarene sect, the followers of the early Jesus movement, known as The Way (Acts 9:2, 19:23)
He persecuted the followers of Jesus to please the heart of Popea, but when he failed; he burst into rage, inventing “Christianity” by preaching against the Jewish Law and the doctrines. He produced Christianity for the sole purpose of converting Gentiles. In order to win Gentiles, he became like a Gentile, to win Jews, he became like a Jew. The verse reads:
Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. (1 Corinthians 9:19-21)
some contradiction:
Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin. (Romans 3:20)
Contradicted by:
For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. (Romans 2:13)
2)
Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:2)
Contradicted by:
For each one should carry his own load. (Galatians 6:5)
3)
For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, (1 Peter 3:18)
Contradicted by:
The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, and the traitor for the upright. (Proverbs 21:18)
4)
Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. (Hebrews 13:4)
Contradicted by:
But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this. (1 Corinthians 7:28)
6)
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. (1 John 4:12)
Contradicted by:
I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered. (Amos 9:1)
7)
If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom: (Job 31:33)
Contradicted by:
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. (1Timothy 2:14)
8)
According to Jesus, Paul was a hypocrite:
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. (Matthew 23:13)
Compared with:
Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, "My brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. I stand on trial because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead." (Acts 23:6)
9)
Paul wants people to be sinners!
I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that. 1 Corinthians 7:6-7
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. (1 Tim. 1:15)
Paul testifies there is nothing good in him.
10)
"Christ Jesus who, though existing in the form of God, did not consider his equality with God something to cling to, but emptied Himself as he took on the form of a slave" (Philippians 2:6)
Contradicted by:
"For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell"(Colossians 1:19)
11)
He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble. (Job 9:6)
Contradicted by:
He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. (Psalms 104:5)
There are many other contradictions but these would suffice.Now all i want to say to my christian brothers is that:Foolow Jesus(peace be upon him) and not Paul.One has to be blinded by faith to deny that Pauls teachings were were very different from that of Jesus.Even if we assume that he contradicted Jesus in only "some" occasions ,it is still obviuos that these contradictions were in relation with teachings of utmost importance.
