Only if one chooses to believe in such a nonsense. The Apostle Paul knew better.
Preach Christ and Him crucified and everything will fall into place.
Romans 16:25
"Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ..."
Paul explicitly describes his gospel as the preaching of Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:23
"But we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness."
The verb κηρύσσομεν (we preach) is present active indicative--denoting continual action. Christ crucified is the central message.
1 Corinthians 2:2
"For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified."
Paul’s focus in preaching is singular: Christ and Him crucified. This verse defines the content and scope of his preaching ministry.
1 Corinthians 9:16
"Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!"
Though not naming Christ here, Paul means the gospel of Christ (cf. Gal 1:11; Rom 1:16). The verb is εὐαγγελίζωμαι (preach good news).
2 Corinthians 1:19
"For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us..."
Paul affirms that Christ Himself—not a philosophy or tradition—was the subject of their preaching.
2 Corinthians 4:5
"For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus’ sake."
A direct contrast: Paul does not exalt human messengers, but proclaims Jesus as Lord (κύριον).
Galatians 1:15–16
"...God...was pleased to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles..."
Here Paul links his apostolic calling with the express purpose of preaching Christ.
Galatians 3:1
"...before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?"
Though not using “preach” directly here, the Greek verb προεγράφη (publicly portrayed) implies vivid public proclamation of Christ crucified.
Ephesians 3:8
"To me...this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ..."
Paul’s commission is defined by preaching the riches of Christ.
Philippians 1:15–18
"...some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife...What then? Only that in every way...Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice."
Paul rejoices not in motives, but in the fact that Christ is being preached.
Colossians 1:28
"Him we proclaim, warning every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ."
Paul is clear: Christ is the one he proclaims (Greek: ὃν καταγγέλλομεν).
1 Thessalonians 2:9 / 2 Thessalonians 1:8
These refer to preaching the gospel of God or of Christ—implicitly the message about Jesus as the Messiah and Savior.
Acts 9:20
"And immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, 'He is the Son of God.'"
This is Paul’s first recorded preaching, after his conversion.
Acts 17:3
"...explaining and giving evidence that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead, and saying, ‘This Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is the Christ.’"
Paul proclaims Jesus as the Christ (Messiah) with scriptural evidence.
Acts 18:5
"Paul began devoting himself completely to the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ."
The Greek word διαμαρτυρόμενος implies solemn, urgent testimony.
Acts 28:31
"preaching the kingdom of God and teaching things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all openness, unhindered."
This verse closes the Book of Acts, showing Paul’s enduring focus on preaching Christ.
Paul does not preach moralism, Judaism, self-help, or abstract philosophy. He consistently preaches:
Christ crucified (1 Cor 1:23)
Christ risen (Rom 1:4; 1 Cor 15)
Christ as Lord (2 Cor 4:5)
The riches of Christ (Eph 3:8)
The person and work of Christ for salvation (Gal 1:15–16)
Your thread has tremendous potential brother.
