WHO DOES THIS PAUL THINK HE IS?

Tell me, when Paul expresses himself as in the following, is he Christocentric or not?

1) Ephesians 3,13:

Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory

=> Paul presents his sufferings as their glory to those who follow him. What about Golgotha then?

2) Colossians 1,24:

I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church.

=> Paul is saying here that Christ's work is not so complete that he must complete it. What??? What happened to the famous "It is finished!!!"?

3) Philippians 4,18-19:

Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

What? "a sacrifice which God accepts, and which is pleasing to him"???? Doesn't Paul know that "Having first said, 'You have not willed nor accepted sacrifices or offerings, burnt offerings or sin-offerings' (what is offered according to the law), he then says, 'Behold, I come to do your will. He thus abolishes the first thing in order to establish the second. It is by virtue of this will that we are sanctified, through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once and for all." (Hebrews 10:8-10).

Do you know that for a long time Paul's writings had been sidelined by the Official Church?

Do you know that for a long time Paul was not accepted by the Primitive Church?

Today, Pauline teachings are authoritative, even though we know that not everything was written by him.

Beyond proclaiming the symbol of the Christian faith through the death and resurrection of the man Yeshua, Paul's teaching reveals the mystery behind this proclamation and makes it accessible to all.

For Paul, the resurrection is no longer the exclusive prerogative of one, but of all those who have believed in the experience of Yeshua.

Being Christocentric goes far beyond the historical Yeshua, who has not been of this earth for 2 millennia.

Being Christocentric means recognizing and valuing the Christ Principle wherever it is in manifestation.

To be Christocentric is above all to be concerned with the formation of Christ within oneself, with a view to His manifestation for all to see.

To be Christocentric is to have the humility to recognize that Christ, the mystery of God, is wider and deeper than the sea, and therefore none of us has mastery over it except God alone.

The majority of those who arrogate to themselves the almost honorary and beatifying title of "Christocentric", are "religious zealots" who ignore themselves.

Paul gives us this advice:

Romans 14,12:

So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.

Romans 14,22:

Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

It's a long road ahead.

Good meditation to all!
