Some of the people on this Forum will not believe in Jesus even if Jesus came down from heaven and gave them his Gospel.
I see two Jesus in the New Testament. The Jesus of the Gospels and Paul's Jesus.
They are one of the same.
Paul received his Gospel directly from Jesus Christ, Galatians 1:11, 12.
Why did Paul doubt the gospel he preached?
Paul said that he received his gospel directly from Jesus.
11 For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:11-12
But when Paul met the Apostles in Jerusalem he had doubts concerning his gospel.
1 Then after an interval of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also. 2 It was because of a revelation that I went up; and I submitted to them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but I did so in private to those who were of reputation, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain. Galatians 2:1-2
Don't you think it is strange that on the one hand, Paul claimed that he received his gospel directly from Jesus. But on the other hand he found it necessary to submit his gospel to the Apostles in private for fear that he had been preaching in vain?
One Jesus. God is the author of all 66 books in the Bible and he only needs to speak of one son, not two
How to Love Jesus and Religion
Paul submitted the Gospel that he had received from Christ to the other apostles, not to see if it was correct, but for their approval because he was going to bring Gentiles into the church. So Paul conferred with them privately. Many Jews thought of Gentiles as being pigs and dogs.
Slick answer...but why was he afraid he had preached IN VAIN?
How would he or could he preach the Gospel if all of the apostles hated him and opposed him?

How can you preach the Gospel when you teach that sinners Christ died for are going to perish in their sins anyways?
Paul was preaching to Gentiles, and the Apostles were concentrating on Jews.
Besides...why worry if you are doing what Jesus told you? Who is the master ..Jesus or the apostles?
There must be unity in the church. They must all have a common goal.
Why don't you check out my comments about Paul on.."""Why Do We Believe Paul?"""
Paul was an apostle, especially chosen by Jesus Christ. Isn't that enough?
That is Paul's claim. But does Paul have 2 or 3 witnesses to establish his claim?
Being in the Bible is enough cause the Bible was written by God
You're among them. Jesus explained in the parables of the lost that people are NOT born lost, yet you don't believe Him. Instead, you teach people are born in sin, hence they are born lost.
Your teaching is against Christ, and therefore anti-Christ.

Scripture speaks of rebuking a scoffer twice, and then avoiding them and their false doctrines. I'm doing that since you're a Pelagian/Barthian antichrist heretic.
Besides, I have better things to do in actual real life than argue with someone who pretends to know scripture and will never be corrected.
Why complain? You don't have to contend with me, and you get to presume you're right. I'm content to let you have what you want so badly and find out after this life.

See my above response. I'm content to let you be a heretic and schismatic. It's what you want, so no need to argue with you.
Jesus Christ is Paul's witness. It is the only witness that he needs.
