Where does the doctrine Paul writes to us today come from?
The doctrine Paul writes to us today comes from the ascended Lord Jesus Christ, by revelation, after His death, burial, and resurrection. Paul did not receive it from man, nor was he taught it by man; he received it directly by revelation of Jesus Christ in glory.
Les explains that during Paul's revelations, Jesus Christ was in glory. Everything Paul writes concerning our doctrine today is from the Ascended Lord, after His death, burial, and resurrection. Paul insists he neither received it of man nor was taught it by man, but received it by revelation of Jesus Christ. Until Christ went to the cross and died, He was not the object of faith to the main run of Gentiles. But once He finished the work of the cross and revealed His plan of salvation to this apostle, it became that gospel Paul preached to the Gentiles. Paul also says it pleased God, who separated him from his mother's womb and called him by His grace, to reveal His Son in him, that he might preach Him among the Gentiles, and immediately he conferred not with flesh and blood, neither went up to Jerusalem.
