The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Does Paul speak for himself a couple of times

John,

The majority of reliable commentators and the teachers I sat under say that the phrase "I say, I not the Lord" means what Paul writes immediately thereafter belong to his own understanding (still under divine inspiration) vs. what Christ taught him personally and specifically. Put another way, Paul is writing on a subject which he believes is in complete accord with the teachings of Christ by way of application.
