Question: According to the Apostle Paul, arent we supposed to think we are equal to God as Christ did?

Philippians 2:4-10 (New International Version)

4Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

So is he saying that it’s ok to consider oneself equal with God, or is he talking about be humble?

Answer: No. Paul said we should have a humble attitude like Jesus did. Jesus called us to live sacrificial lives.

Mat 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Php 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Php 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
Php 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Death knight Pvp Shadowfrost season 5 Apostlepaul

The Apostle we know of today as Saint Paul started out a Jewish tentmaker from the city of Tarsus. Once Paul, at a young age, was converted to Christianity, he devoted himself completely to spreading the word of Christ to as a vast an area as possible, and especially to Gentiles. (Non-Jewish people, or people who could be swayed away from Judaism in Eurasia at his time.) This earned Apostle Paul the name “Saint Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles.”

If not for the tireless work of Saint Paul, Christianity might have remained primarily a sect of unorthodox Jews. But St. Paul the Apostle set himself to broaden its membership, by extending the teachings of Christ and His church to everyone.

Apostle Paul was a man of passionate eloquence and unwavering love for his Master. He preached the new gospel in the cities of Asia Minor and Greece and finally in Rome itself. Behind him he left a line of devoted communities that stretched from Palestine to Italy.

Everywhere he went, Apostle Paul founded churches. Some of the letters Paul the Apostle sent to these churches were widely circulated, eagerly read and passed around from follower to follower – some of these letters later became part of the New Testament itself.

The man who dedicated his life to bringing the teachings of Christ to the Greek and Roman world, was a man who never met Jesus during Jesus’ earthly ministry. Although he did meet Jesus’ brother, James.

Why was Saint Paul called the Apostle of the Gentiles?

Apostle Paul was not the first to preach to the Gentiles but was known as Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles because he was determined stand against the dominance of Jewish law and his preaching decided the course of Christianity.

It is because of St. Paul the Apostle, more than anyone else, that Christianity rose from being a small Jewish sect to one of the world’s greatest religions.

The fourteen New Testament letters which come from Apostle Paul show him trying to moderate the influence of Jewish ideas and traditions on a new religion and a new spiritual age, and re-interpreting Old Testament laws by their relevance to the teachings of Jesus.
