Hebrews was almost certainly not written by Paul. However it’s purpose does indeed seem to be to assure the early Jewish converts to Christianity that they could more selectively follow the laws of the OT/Torah. The author accomplishes this by using 3 verses from Genesis to “prove” that anytime Jesus’s teachings contradict Moses, Jesus wins.
Edit: It’s an incredibly shaky argument. Genesis 14:17-20 . Look that verse up and then try to make it make sense.
wasn’t pauls letter to the hebrews in direct contradiction with your interpretation?
Wow, Paul contradicted Jesus?! Holy fuck! That never happens in anything else Paul ever wrote!
it’s not clear he contradicted jesus, only cranakis’ interpretation of jesus
It’s not my interpretation. Even Martin Luther didn’t believe Paul wrote Hebrews.
i was referring to your interpretation of what jesus said.
I didn’t talk about what Jesus said.
my bad: it was flyingsquid
