**What if modern Christianity has been shaped more by Paul than by Jesus?** In *If You Love Me: How Christians Have Betrayed Jesus for the False Apostle Paul*, John Alan Martinson presents a bold and confrontational challenge to one of the most deeply rooted assumptions in Christian theology: that the teachings of Paul of Tarsus are fully aligned with the teachings of Jesus. Built on the simple but piercing words of Jesus—*“If you love me, keep my commandments”* (John 14:15)—this book argues that obedience to the commandments of God has been displaced in favor of doctrines of faith-alone, lawlessness, and religious tradition. Martinson contends that much of what passes for Christianity today is not the faith Jesus taught, but a Pauline reinterpretation of it. Through direct scriptural comparison, historical examination, and unapologetic analysis, this book explores: • The conflict between the teachings of Jesus and Paul • Whether Paul passes the Torah’s test for a true prophet • The doctrine of lawlessness and its consequences • How Christianity redefined love, faith, and obedience • The role of pagan traditions in modern Christian worship • The warnings of Jesus concerning false teachers and deception • The theological and moral contradictions within Pauline Christianity This is not a denominational debate. This is a question of authority. If Jesus is Lord, should His words not stand above every other teacher? Written with intensity, conviction, and relentless scriptural focus, *If You Love Me* is for truth-seekers, skeptics, believers, and anyone willing to test tradition against the words of Christ Himself. You will never look at the relationship between Jesus and Paul the same way again.
