Should the rest of the Bible be discarded in order to study Paul?
No, the rest of the Bible should not be thrown away in order to study Paul. Instead, one should keep Paul’s points in mind and compare them with the Gospels, recognizing that many things Paul reveals in his letters are not found in the Old Testament, Christ’s earthly ministry, or the early book of Acts.
Les teaches that you do not throw the rest of the Bible away in order to study Paul. He says to take points Paul brings out in his epistles, keep them in your memory bank, and then go back to the Gospels so you realize that none of this is back there. It all comes to a head. Many things Paul brings out in his letters are not in the Old Testament, or even in Christ’s earthly ministry, or in the early book of Acts. He tells people not just to scream that he is wrong until they check out the book, because this is what they are totally relying on. He begins with I Corinthians chapter 15, verses 1-4, urging constant comparison.
