Were Jesus and Paul were on different pages when it came to the most important issue for them both, how a person can be saved? In this episode, Bart and Megan explore the Gospels and the letters of Paul to see where these two pivotal figures share many similar views and yet appear to stand completely at odds on the major question. If they did, then is Christianity the religion Jesus proclaimed or the religion Paul proclaimed about Jesus?

Megan asks Bart:

- Why is it important to consider the teachings of the apostle Paul?

- What role did Paul’s writings play in the formation of Christianity? What role do they play in modern Christianity?

- What are the most important messages in Jesus’ teachings?

- Does Paul teach the same thing in his writings?

- If someone asked Jesus what they had to do to be saved, what would he have answered?

- If the same question was asked of Paul, would he have given the same answer?

- Why do people struggle to see these as different responses?

- What are some of the ways that Christians have tried to make these different messages mean the same thing?

- Would Paul have viewed himself as changing Jesus’ message?

- Do you see any commonalities between what Paul and Jesus said?

- Are any of their instructions contradictory, or is it possible to do what they both say?

- If you had to pick a side between Jesus and Paul, who would you go with?
