Interpreting Paul's message in the Bible

Paul emphasizes belief in Christ as the pathway to salvation rather than mere repentance or adherence to commandments. He suggests that keeping the commandments is important, but they do not serve as a means of salvation. Many readers fail to recognize this distinction due to a common misconception that the Bible is a singular narrative from one author, leading them to overlook the critical variations in messages from different authors. This misconception hinders the understanding of divergent theological perspectives within the text, particularly those expressed by Paul.
