"Exhaustive Proof That Paul Is An Apostle Of Satan"
Excellent video. Highly recommend. Video producer intended this presentation to be a "one stop shop" for all of the evidence exposing Saul/Paul to be a false apostle.

YHVH Everlasting: "Paul, The False Apostle"
Source: http://www.heisyah.com/paul-the-false-apostle/
Yah is unchanging. He never changes. He is and does exactly the same today as He did in the beginning; blessings, judgments, mercy, curses and to the very end He still tests His people.
Most believers will say that they believe that Yah allowed His creation, His own perfect garden, to become corrupt for His purpose and to His own end but few will understand that He also allowed this corruption to enter into their very own Bibles and churches.
Malachi 3:6: For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
I change not. I change not. I change not. Why is this such a difficult concept? Below, I line up all the ducks.
It is far easier to think that Yah has changed than it is to consider your own blindness and error. Just as Eve was [seemingly] so easily deceived, is it possible that maybe we too have bitten into the other side of that very same apple?
In contrast, Satan deals deceitfully and takes refuge under the cover of darkness. Satan has been granted the authority by Yah to deceive and manipulate whomever he will but thankfully, Satan must announce his dealings – albeit he does so in one crafty form or another.
Our Father made provisions for His people and always gives us the opportunity to make choices. I grieve for those who are falsely educated, lack discernment or just don’t care. It is by this lack of knowledge and understanding that Yah’s people are destroyed.
Paul himself tells us in 2 Timothy 3:16 that “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for [not only] doctrine, [but also] for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”
Acts 9:26: And when Paul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
Contrary to the books written by Paul or his disciples, the new heaven and new earth will not contain Paul’s name as an apostle.
Found in Matthew 10:2-4, Mark 3:16-19, Luke 6:12-19 and Acts 1:13, Yahushua’s Apostles were as follows:
Acts 10:39-42: Spoken by the real Apostle Peter…
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
Notice two requirements which automatically disqualify Paul for Apostleship:
This eliminates any future day apostleship. Sorry Paul, you were not with Yahushua from his baptism until his ascension and viewing a disembodied light which blinded your eyesight so that you could not see for three (3) days does not count. [See Fact or fiction? Paul gets confused about the most important day of his life.]
Contrary to blinding one’s vision, we read in Revelation 3:18:
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Yah doesn’t blind us. He gives us vision to see clearly!
Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. Matthew 16:6
How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Matthew 16:11
And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod. Mark 8:15
Yahushua did not mince words in His warnings. It is not only implausible but outrageous to assert that this murdering Pharisee could possibly ever become an Apostle of Yahushua.
In Revelation 17:1-2, Yahushua calls the last days churches the “whores of Babylon.” Why? Because they are filled with corruption, 501(c)(3) government regulated corporate status, deceptions and lies.
Christian churches today are based on false and unsound doctrine contrived by Paul’s blasphemy and very much leading Yah’s people, Yisrael, astray.
Leviticus 26:4-6: But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; and if you shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant, I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
Through Paul’s blatant fallacy of presenting us with a new warm and fuzzy gospel, teaching that we cannot possibly follow or no longer have a need to do the very things we were commanded by Yah and exampled through Yahushua we are seeing more and more terror in the world with more surely to follow. We have and continue sowing seeds in vain and are enduring grievous sorrow.
Haven’t you heard? Post September 11, 2001, dog and pony show aside, we’ve got ourselves a “War on terror.” Can you not see the warning, curse and judgment?
Commandments and statutes are a blessing given to us by our creator and Father to ensure our prosperity, health and happiness.
Paul has knowingly, cunningly and hypocritically told us that there is no need of circumcision. Paul has told us that it is good or at the very least that it is okay to eat foods sacrificed to idols- as long as we don’t *feel it is a sin. And Paul has told us that there is no need to observe the weekly and yearly Sabbaths.
The churches have taught that Yah, our Father’s perpetual and everlasting holy feasts are “Jewish” festivals. Huh!?! They aren’t Jewish feasts at all; they are for every one of Yah’s people – perpetually, throughout our generations – forever! C’mon people, Yah does not change. When is the last time you actually read the book of Leviticus?
In The letter written to the Angel of The Church of the Laodiceans, found in Revelation 3:14-22, we learn that these latter day churches are most certainly not of Yah. To understand this with clarity, one must realize that Yahushua is standing outside the door of the church. Yahushua is not inside them, Paul is.
Revelation 3:20: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
One does not stand inside and knock to get in, they knock from outside. Period.
Anyone, including your pastor, reverend, minister, etc., who says, “What this really means is…” and generally ends with something along the lines of “Jesus is knocking on your hearts; let him in.” May I suggest to you that you reread the scripture? It says this is a letter to the church.
And Jacob called unto his sons, and said: gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the latter days. Judah, thee shall thy brethren praise: Thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies; Thy father’s sons shall bow down before thee. Judah is a lion’s whelp; From the prey, my son, thou art gone up: He stooped down, he crouched as a lion, And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh come: And unto him shall the obedience of the peoples be. Binding his foal unto the vine, And his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; He hath washed his garments in wine, And his vesture in the blood of grapes: His eyes shall be red with wine, And his teeth white with milk. Benjamin is a wolf that raveneth: in the morning she shall devour the prey, and at even he shall divide the spoil. All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them and blessed them; every one according to his blessings he blessed them.
1 Chronicles 7 records the lineage of the tribe of Benjamin which Paul embraced as his own.
Genesis 6:4: There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Genesis 10:8 tells us of how Nimrod, the son of Cush, likewise a cursed grandson of Ham, became mighty [opposition] before Yah.
In 1 Samuel, chapter 17, we learn about Goliath, a mighty giant whose height was six cubits and a span; approximately 10 feet 6 inches.
GIANTS
ji’-ants The word appears in the King James Version as the translation of the Hebrew words Nephilim, Genesis 6:4; Numbers 13:33; Repha’im, Deuteronomy 2:11,20; 3:11,13; Joshua 12:4; Rapha’, 1 Chronicles 20:4,6,8, or Raphah, 2 Samuel 21:16, 18, 20, 22; in one instance of Gibbor, literally, “mighty one,” Job 16:14.
In the first two cases the Revised Version, British and American, changes “giants” into the Hebrew words Nephilim, nephilim and Rephaim, repha’im, respectively. The Nephilim of Genesis 6:4 are not to be confounded with the “mighty men” subsequently described as the offspring of the unlawful marriages, of “the sons of God” and “the daughters of men.” It is told that they overspread the earth prior to these unhallowed unions. That the word, whatever its etymology, bears the sense of men of immense stature is evident from the later passages. Numbers 13:33. The same is true of the Rephaim, as shown by the instance of Og, Deuteronomy 3:11; Joshua 12:4. There is no doubt about the meaning of the word in the ease of the giants mentioned in 2 Samuel 21 and 1 Chronicles 20. [1]
Matthew 7:15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. [Jacob called Benjamin a ravening wolf.]
John 10:12: But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
Jude 1:4: For there are certain men crept in unawares [Paul], who were before of old ordained to this condemnation [Tribe of Benjamin, Genesis 49:27-28], ungodly men [Pharisees, mighty giants, etc.], turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. [Paul denies Yahushua in Romans 8:3 and Philippians 2:7.]
Additional wolf warnings can be found in: Matthew 7:15, Matthew 10:16, John 10:11-15 and Acts 20:28-31.
Balaam was a soothsayer who was hired by Moab to curse Israel, yet prayed to Yah and was told to bless Israel instead. On his way to Moab the angel of Yah stood in his way to oppose him and Balaam and his companions had a “Road to Moab” experience. In this experience Balaam became aware that he was unjustly persecuting his donkey and said, “I have sinned.” Balaam ended up blessing Israel several times to the dismay of those who had hired him.
However, the next time we hear of Balaam, in Numbers 31:8, he is slain with the Midianites. We find out why later in verse 16.
Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Yah in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of Yah. Balaam was converted and blessed, yet fell away and caused the children of Israel to commit trespass against Yah.
We have to go to the New Testament to find out more specifically what sins were involved. Balaam is referred to in 2 Peter, Jude and Revelation. The verses with the most information is in Revelation 2:12-15.
And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans [n.- lay person, heretic] which thing I hate.
Who in the NT could Messiah have been warning against that would be a type of Balaam? Paul unjustly persecuted Yah’s people, had a conversion experience on the Road to Damascus and intermingled the words of Yah with disinformation.
We can take this parallel further to see that Paul made statements to the effect that fornication and eating food offered to idols are lawful to him.
1 Corinthians 6:12: All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. [Including Yah.]
1 Corinthians 8:7: Howbeit [there is] not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat [it] as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
Yahushua never taught this and like it or not, it is another gospel.
Deuteronomy 13:1-5: If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep His Commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve Him, and cleave unto Him. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
Paul was not martyred; he was executed for speaking against Yah.
Matthew 7:15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
[Referring back to tribe of Benjamin in Genesis 49:27: Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.]
Matthew 24:11: And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
The immutable truth is that Yah does not change which means that the Mosaic Law and Torah are not done away with as Pauline Doctrine would have us believe.
Matthew 24:26: Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not.
Galatians 1:6: I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel.
Here Paul is getting a nose snorting chuckle that we were/are so easily conned into following him rather than Yah.
Paul is the wolf of the tribe of Benjamin, a deceiver, one who would show great signs and wonders, one who would get his revelation in the desert, and one who would be a self-proclaimed Apostle but indeed a fantastic liar.
Romans 3:4: Let God be true, and every man a liar.
Let it be understood that by saying that every man a liar, Paul was including not only himself but Yahushua, the son of Yah as well.
Romans 9:1,2: I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, that I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
2 Corinthians 11:30-31: If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
Galatians 1:20: Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
1 Timothy 2:3-7: For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of Jesus our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ; who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, I speak the truth in Christ, [and] lie not; a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
1 Corinthians 15:5: Paul wrote the lie, “Christ, first, appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.”
The unified doctrine as recorded in Matthew 28:9, Mark 16:9, Luke 24:10 and John 20:14,15 each emphasize that Yahushua the Messiah first appeared to the women.
1 Corinthians 15:6: Paul wrote the lie, “…After that he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time.”
Acts 1:15: But the Apostle Peter testifies that “the number of names altogether were about a hundred and twenty disciples.”
1 Corinthians 15:8: Paul wrote this lie too, “…and last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared to me also.”
Let’s review the three very different accounts of Paul’s conversion by his own testimony; none of which qualifies him for apostleship.
Acts 9:1-9: And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Paul, Paul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. And Paul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
Acts 22:6-11: And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me. And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me. And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do. And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
Acts 26:13-18: At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
What gives Paul? Did you alone see a light or did everyone? Did you hear a voice but no man? Did the others see a man and hear nothing? This is supposed to be the most amazing thing to ever happen yet you “don’t recall” the facts? You are a time waster, a liar and a thief of souls.
Furthermore, there is no need for guessing, Paul tells you exactly who and what the blinding light was in 2 Corinthians 11.
Paul’s angel of light blinds people – Yah opens them!
2 Corinthians 11:13-14: For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Luke 10:18: Yahushua said to them “I saw Satan fall, like lightning, from heaven.”
Acts 9:18: Paul had something like scales [serpent scales] fall from his eyes.
Galatians 1:12,15-17: I did not receive it [the Gospel] from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ But when God, who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not consult any man, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
Bare in mind, one of the requirements for apostleship is that you must have accompanied Yahushua’s twelve disciples in person. In the above scripture, we see that although Paul has the opportunity to consult with the true apostles, he does not even make an attempt to do so.
1 John 4:1-3: Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of Yah: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

When Paul says that they, the apostles, seemed to be pillars in Galatians 2:9, Paul is denying the fact that they are apostles and refuses to listen to them. Galatians 2:2-6
Galatians 2:7: Paul boasts of his failure to take any information and blatantly states that his own doctrine is contrary to that of the apostles’ handpicked by Yahushua! In fact, he claimed that his failure to do so was proof that his message was from Yah.
John, one of the “seeming pillars” and true apostle says this in 1 John 4:6:
(UPDATE: Pillars, I have come to understand were Ebionites, which John
Acts 1:21-22: Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that He was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of His resurrection. And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Acts 10:39-42: Spoken by the llest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans [n.- lay person, heretic] which thing I hate.

1 Corinthians 6:12: All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. [Including Yah.]
1 Corinthians 8:7: Howbeit [there is] not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat [it] as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
/h3emcertainly was.)
We [the apostles] are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Paul fits 1 John 2:19: They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
Knowing he’d be under further suspicion, having left their group, Paul spins this separation in that the apostles would “alone” to focus on the Jews and Paul would “alone” focus on the gentiles. Galatians 2:9
The disputing was because Peter would not forfeit his given command to teach the gentiles over to Paul. Peter was adamant about this and would not/could not disobey Yah in this matter.
Secondly, this is the one and only scripture in the entire Bible that can ever so lightly be taken in Paul’s defense; but can it really?
Either way, let’s take what we were given and dissect it. It nbsp;
Furthermore, there is no need for guessing, /h2is ambiguous at best.
2 Peter 3:13-14:
Nevertheless we, [the twelve Apostles handpicked by ol/liol/liYahushua] according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, [reader] seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless . . .
Q. So which is it, can we or can we not be found righteous?
A. Contradicting every other author in the entire Bible, it is Paul who says that being found righteous is not possible. Romans 3:10
Will you hang your faith on Yahushua and his requirement meeting Apostles or are you going to stand with Paul?

Q. Wisdom given by whom?
A. It doe/li/strong/str/l/liiongsn’t say that the wisdom was provided by Yah.
2 Peter 3:16-18:
. . . As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, [wrest: verb- to get by effort, scripture twisting.] as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, [reader] seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
The one word “beloved” having been either inserted or mistranslated becomes misleading to those without discernment. Take that lone word out and the passage reads as follows [Paraphrased]:
Paul, according to the wisdom of the Pharisee, will say things that are jacked up and completely different from what we have told you. Because you don’t truly understand your God or of His ways and His laws which Yahushua and we, all the real Apostles, strictly follow; you will find yourself in deep s_it. Look people, we’re telling you about this now so you don’t screw up later. Pay attention to what we are telling you and heed our warning.
Furthermore, if you notice the underlined phrase, “lest ye also,” ask yourself whom that “also” is referring to. Isn’t this scripture talking about Paul or is there a non-existent segway that I’m missed?
Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, men and brethren, hearken unto me: Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: but that we write unto them [and not Paul the liar] that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day.
Exodus 23:12: Six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor in order that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave, as well as your stranger, may refresh themselves.
Exodus 31:15: For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
Deuteronomy 5:12: Observe the Sabbath day to keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you.
Leviticus 26:2: You shall keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary; I am the Lord.
Colossians 2:16: Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day.
[Note: I would recommend you take a second look at Isaiah 66.]
Q. Where is it written, that we will be punished for obeying the laws of Torah? Or that we “cannot possibly obey” Torah as Yahushua and the Apostles did?
A. It isn’t.
Satan, our adversary, wants us to ignore the Torah. If we think Eve goofed over such a simple thing then we should look at how we might find ourselves in the very same situation. Satan is an expert and compulsive liar and he has multitudes following his masquerading messengers of lawlessness.
“Legalism” and the accompanying criticisms cannot be found anywhere in the texts. It is the merchants who say it is permissible to rest on any given day as you sit in your Government and IRS approved 501(c)(3) Sun-god-day assembly; feeling good about yourself for contributing to their wonderful work. They are the priests of Baal who lead you astray worshiping the pagan’s god, Amen Ra on Baal’s Day.
One only has to start obeying the 4th Commandment, the 7th day Shabbat and watch how those professing to be the Lord’s people react to you. The 7th day Sabbath is the sign of the Eternal Covenant which I will discuss shortly.
By choosing the 7th day Sabbath to rest, without fail, you can be marked with the Sign of The Eternal Covenant as stated in Genesis 2:2, Exodus. 31:12-17, Ezekiel. 20:12, Isaiah 56:4-8.
Romans 14:14: I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
1 Corinthians 3:10: According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, [A Freemason] I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
Acts 4:11-12: He, Yahushua, is the stone you builders [Freemasons] rejected which has become the capstone. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.
Paul was a Freemason and Acts 18:3 tells us that Paul was a tent maker who just happens to claim he had laid the foundation.
Funny, I thought that Yahushua was the one who laid it.
Paul, however, did get one thing correct here when he said, “But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.”
I hope you all understand that tents are temporary shelter.
He “gave gifts” to men, in Ephesians 4:8, Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
That’s a huge difference in meaning!
Acts 16:1: Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek: Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
Galatians 5:2: Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Genesis 17:10: This [is] my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
Exodus 12:48: And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
Hmmm… YHVH said you should do it. Even Paul himself did it, however; Paul preached against it.
Yah showed Peter visions of clean and unclean foods and he even converted Cornelius in Acts chapter 10. As it turned out and rarely, if ever, taught in any Pauline church that this was in reality a division of “mankind” being clean; a reference to half-man by fornication with fallen angels but that’s a whole other subject. You can read about them in Genesis 4 and 6, Daniel 4, Matthew 24 and Jude 1:6.
Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and beguile my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols. Revelation 2:20.
This flies directly in the face of what Paul taught in, 1 Corinthians 8:1-13 and 10:23-33.
In Paul’s world, the sin of it all is only in one’s head. But I digress; had Yahushua indeed pronounced all foods clean, Peter would have been there and learned of it!
Paul has effectively done away with YHVH’s law.
Isaiah 14:13, 14: For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Acts 19:8-10: And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of Yah. [Disputing things of Yah !?!] But when divers [many who knew Yah] were hardened, [against Paul's false teachings] and believed not, [They didn't believe Paul's B.S.] but spake evil [cursed Paul of blasphemy] of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
When rightly in Yah, as the Apostles most assuredly were, there would not be division and disputing such as this.
1 Corinthians 1:10: Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
This coming from the same Paul who frightened the Apostles and separated himself when they believed him not.
The first portion of James chapter 2 is a court trial. Notice the language of trials: judges, 2:4, judgment seats, 2:6, law, 2:8, 9, 10, 12, transgressors, 2:9, 11, guilty, 2:10, judged, 2:12, judgment, 2:13.
In verse 2:14, James confronts the basis of Paul’s faith based gospel then further confronts Paul’s use of the example of Abraham’s faith based righteousness, Romans 4:3, Galatians 3:6 and comes up with not faith alone but faith and works. You can read in James Ch. 3 where he gives more examples of works being required for righteousness.
Really, he does. I am not creative enough to make this stuff up.
Philippians 3:7:
But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.
Wait, stop the buss! It was HaShatan/Satan and his minions who lost everything and it is Satan who wishes to “win” the title of Christ – If Paul were really saved by grace, he should not have to “win” anything.
On to another point, shall we?
In Matthew 22:37-40 (quoting Deuteronomy 6:4-9), Yahushua said, “Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
The first 4 of the 10 Commandments teach us how to love Yah
Excuse me Paul; you want us to follow you? You have not begotten us and you certainly are not our father.
Yahushua’s Apostles taught in Jude 1:4 and 1 John 2:22: Perverting the grace of our Lord into lawlessness even denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul started the Christian Church, teaching that we are saved by grace. The true Apostles also mentioned Yah’s mercy and grace; nonetheless, they still always observed Torah laws including the Mosaic statutes. So just where does grace begin?
Genesis 6:7-9: And the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I regret that I have made them.” But Noah found grace in the eyes of The Lord. This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
Genesis 7:1: And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
No one else on earth found grace or mercy from Yah except one man and his family because he did not have alien blood coursing through his veins Noah was “perfect in his generations” (Genesis 6:9) and was “just and righteous!” Contrary to Paul’s doctrine, becoming a beneficiary of Yah’s grace has everything to do with works. Grace and works are not mutually exclusive. They are inextricably connected to one another.
Psalm 84:11: For God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
Exodus 20: 5,6: For I, God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
Psalm 103:17,18: But the mercy of God is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children’s children, to such as keep His covenant, and to those who remember His Commandments to do them.
The Disciples of Paul were first called Christians in Antioch. Acts 11:26.
Paul was arrested and a lawyer made accusations against him before Felix. Part of this dialog describes the sect which Paul was a member of: further stating that he was the ringleader of this Nazarene sect and was seized after having tried to desecrate the Temple. Acts 24:5
Acts 28:22: While Paul was arrested and taken to Rome; he was kept in the home of a centurion. He called for the chief Yahudim, and they had heard of this sect, and said to Paul, “But we desire to hear from you, what you think: for as concerning this sect, we know that everywhere it is spoken against.”
It was spoken against for a darn good reason. It was heresy! What would a bunch of Israelites who practice Torah and follow Yahushua Messiah be doing with a Greek term used by Pagans as a label for themselves?
Are we to search out the Greco-Roman roots or the Hebrew origins of our faith? One of them hinders and clouds our understanding and the other is essential to it!
2 Corinthians 12:7: And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in [inside] the flesh [body/self], to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
Really!?! The supposed “most revered apostle ever” was demon possessed?
Q. Weren’t the Apostles told to cast out demons rather than make excuses to let them waste space in cohabitation?
Q. This idiot [Paul] wants us to honestly believe that Yah placed a demon inside of him? Paul’s reasoning- get this… “Lest he be exalted above measure.” Give me a break.
In espionage or military intelligence, disinformation is the deliberate spreading of false information to mislead an enemy as to one’s position or course of action. In politics, disinformation is the deliberate attempt to deflect voter support of an opponent, disseminating false statements of innuendo based on the candidates vulnerabilities as revealed by opposition research. In both cases, it also includes the distortion of true information in such a way as to render it useless.
Disinformation techniques may also be found in commerce and government, used to try to undermine the position of a competitor. It is an act of deception and blatant false statements to convince someone of an untruth.
Unlike traditional propaganda and Big Lie techniques designed to engage emotional support, disinformation is designed to manipulate the audience at the rational level by either discrediting conflicting information or supporting false conclusions.
Another technique of concealing facts, or censorship, is also used if the group can effect such control. When channels of information cannot be completely closed, they can be rendered useless by filling them with disinformation, effectively lowering their signal-to-noise ratio and discrediting the opposition by association with a lot of easily-disproved false claims.
A common disinformation tactic is to mix some truth and observation with false conclusions and lies, or to reveal part of the truth while presenting it as the whole.5
Here is but one example:
We are not to glory in the cross, death/mass, but the resurrection of Yahushua; nonetheless, Paul gets it wrong again and again goes as far as saying that it is he/himself that died for us.
Galatians 6:14: But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
1 Corinthians 1:31: Just as it is written, let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.
Evil has no substance or creation of its own; it exists in terms of good, twisted, distorted, absent. Good exists on its own terms; it existed long before evil and it will exist long after evil has no existence save torment in the lake of fire. But then why do good and evil fight?
Evil fights good because it stands in rebellion against good. Good has its own purposes, and because evil stands in the way, fights evil as an obstruction. It is not defined by this fight and will not lose anything of itself when the last battle is over; in the New Jerusalem, we will see good in its truest and purest form.
A little leaven leavens the whole lump, which is why faith must be built from the beginning, not on heresy but on the foundation of Yah.
Paul showed his hatred for Yah, The Father by teaching the lie:
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself. Galatians 5:14. Romans 13:9
This equates to dismissing any and all love for Yah.
Philippians 1:18: In every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Yahushua is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.
Once again Paul is admitting the guilt of lying.
Pretense. noun – pretending or feigning; make-believe: a lie.
And then there is this…
Galatians 1:18: If we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you let him be a curse.
This passage is actually tri fold. Not only is it a warning to examine the authors of the Bible itself. Good to do indeed. Secondly, it is a lame attempt by Paul to deflect examination of his lies. Last but not least, Paul is actually placing a curse on anyone who does not believe or speaks against him, et al. Let’s try looking at it again to discern what it is really telling us.
If we [Paul and his merry band of freaks] or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel to you than what we [Paul and Co.] have preached to you let him be a curse.
Satan has always cursed the things of Yah so this should come as no surprise and angels from heaven are angels who have not fallen. In no way would they preach against Yah. They would however preach against a false prophet.
If you are familiar with the story of Job, you know that Satan, by contract with YHVH, must in one way or another, announce his dealings; offering us a choice. We call this “free will.” We are explicitly told to test the spirits and should not be ashamed to do so, even when it includes the very authors of our Bible.
Likewise, Paul makes habit of beginning his books with, “I Paul” and goes on to say things that sound all warm and fuzzy yet later admits deceit, cunning and craftiness.
Nearly the whole of the New Testament today are books written by Paul, canonized by the Council of Nicaea/Vatican. Yah allows this blasphemy to serve His own purposes – just as He allowed the serpent to beguile Eve and Adam who was with her in the Garden of Eden.
The next time you are sitting in your church, pay close attention; are you worshiping Yah or are you worshiping Paul? Try it again the following week. I would bet my life that 99% of you will not be able to deny that you are learning all things Paul.
Heed the warning! Paul, the false apostle: Saul Of Tarsus is a liar and a thief of souls
YHVH, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had created the Garden of Eden and in it He placed not only Adam and Eve but also the Tree of Life (Yahushua) and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (Halal HaShatan). Many today simply refer to him as Satan or Lucifer. This is found in the book of Genesis, Chapter 2.Yah is unchanging. He never changes. He is and does exactly the same today as He did in the beginning; blessings, judgments, mercy, curses and to the very end He still tests His people.
Most believers will say that they believe that Yah allowed His creation, His own perfect garden, to become corrupt for His purpose and to His own end but few will understand that He also allowed this corruption to enter into their very own Bibles and churches.
Malachi 3:6: For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
I change not. I change not. I change not. Why is this such a difficult concept? Below, I line up all the ducks.
It is far easier to think that Yah has changed than it is to consider your own blindness and error. Just as Eve was [seemingly] so easily deceived, is it possible that maybe we too have bitten into the other side of that very same apple?
Satan’s contract with the Most High
Those who know Him understand that Yah never does anything in secret.In contrast, Satan deals deceitfully and takes refuge under the cover of darkness. Satan has been granted the authority by Yah to deceive and manipulate whomever he will but thankfully, Satan must announce his dealings – albeit he does so in one crafty form or another.
Our Father made provisions for His people and always gives us the opportunity to make choices. I grieve for those who are falsely educated, lack discernment or just don’t care. It is by this lack of knowledge and understanding that Yah’s people are destroyed.
Shooting the messenger
Some have accused me of wanting to remove Paul from the Bible. This could not be further from the truth. It is not possible to test truth against falsehood without pitting them against one another. All anyone need do is compare Paul’s teachings to the rest of the Bible to see how it is a new doctrine.Paul himself tells us in 2 Timothy 3:16 that “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for [not only] doctrine, [but also] for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”

There are only 12 Apostles
Revelation 21:14: And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the lamb.Acts 9:26: And when Paul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
Contrary to the books written by Paul or his disciples, the new heaven and new earth will not contain Paul’s name as an apostle.
Found in Matthew 10:2-4, Mark 3:16-19, Luke 6:12-19 and Acts 1:13, Yahushua’s Apostles were as follows:
- Simon who is called Peter
- Andrew his brother
- James the son of Zebedee
- John his brother
- Philip
- Bartholomew
- Thomas
- Matthew the publican
- James the son of Alphaeus
- Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus
- Simon the Canaanite
- Mattathias who replaced Judas Iscariot
Requirements for apostleship as laid out by Yahushua himself
Acts 1:21-22: Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that He was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of His resurrection. And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.Acts 10:39-42: Spoken by the real Apostle Peter…
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
Notice two requirements which automatically disqualify Paul for Apostleship:
- Accompany Yahushua and His apostles from the beginning of His earthly ministry until His resurrection
- Witness the resurrection of Yahushua
This eliminates any future day apostleship. Sorry Paul, you were not with Yahushua from his baptism until his ascension and viewing a disembodied light which blinded your eyesight so that you could not see for three (3) days does not count. [See Fact or fiction? Paul gets confused about the most important day of his life.]
Contrary to blinding one’s vision, we read in Revelation 3:18:
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Yah doesn’t blind us. He gives us vision to see clearly!
Paul – A Pharisee and the root of the whore of Babylon
Paul was a Pharisee, Philippians 3.4:6 and a persecutor of Yah’s people. Galatians 1:13-15Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. Matthew 16:6
How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Matthew 16:11
And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod. Mark 8:15
Yahushua did not mince words in His warnings. It is not only implausible but outrageous to assert that this murdering Pharisee could possibly ever become an Apostle of Yahushua.
In Revelation 17:1-2, Yahushua calls the last days churches the “whores of Babylon.” Why? Because they are filled with corruption, 501(c)(3) government regulated corporate status, deceptions and lies.
Christian churches today are based on false and unsound doctrine contrived by Paul’s blasphemy and very much leading Yah’s people, Yisrael, astray.
Leviticus 26:4-6: But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; and if you shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant, I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
Through Paul’s blatant fallacy of presenting us with a new warm and fuzzy gospel, teaching that we cannot possibly follow or no longer have a need to do the very things we were commanded by Yah and exampled through Yahushua we are seeing more and more terror in the world with more surely to follow. We have and continue sowing seeds in vain and are enduring grievous sorrow.
Haven’t you heard? Post September 11, 2001, dog and pony show aside, we’ve got ourselves a “War on terror.” Can you not see the warning, curse and judgment?
Commandments and statutes are a blessing given to us by our creator and Father to ensure our prosperity, health and happiness.
Paul has knowingly, cunningly and hypocritically told us that there is no need of circumcision. Paul has told us that it is good or at the very least that it is okay to eat foods sacrificed to idols- as long as we don’t *feel it is a sin. And Paul has told us that there is no need to observe the weekly and yearly Sabbaths.
The churches have taught that Yah, our Father’s perpetual and everlasting holy feasts are “Jewish” festivals. Huh!?! They aren’t Jewish feasts at all; they are for every one of Yah’s people – perpetually, throughout our generations – forever! C’mon people, Yah does not change. When is the last time you actually read the book of Leviticus?
In The letter written to the Angel of The Church of the Laodiceans, found in Revelation 3:14-22, we learn that these latter day churches are most certainly not of Yah. To understand this with clarity, one must realize that Yahushua is standing outside the door of the church. Yahushua is not inside them, Paul is.
Revelation 3:20: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
One does not stand inside and knock to get in, they knock from outside. Period.
Anyone, including your pastor, reverend, minister, etc., who says, “What this really means is…” and generally ends with something along the lines of “Jesus is knocking on your hearts; let him in.” May I suggest to you that you reread the scripture? It says this is a letter to the church.
Jacob prophesied of both Messiah and Paul
In Genesis 49:1, 8-12, 27-28, we read:And Jacob called unto his sons, and said: gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the latter days. Judah, thee shall thy brethren praise: Thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies; Thy father’s sons shall bow down before thee. Judah is a lion’s whelp; From the prey, my son, thou art gone up: He stooped down, he crouched as a lion, And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh come: And unto him shall the obedience of the peoples be. Binding his foal unto the vine, And his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; He hath washed his garments in wine, And his vesture in the blood of grapes: His eyes shall be red with wine, And his teeth white with milk. Benjamin is a wolf that raveneth: in the morning she shall devour the prey, and at even he shall divide the spoil. All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them and blessed them; every one according to his blessings he blessed them.
- Judah is a lion’s whelp; [Yahushua. Revelation 5:5]
- Benjamin is a wolf that raveneth [Paul. Philippians 3:5]
- Just as there were 12 Apostles, there are 12 Tribes of Israel.
Paul is of the tribe of Benjamin
Paul states in Philippians 3:5: Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee.1 Chronicles 7 records the lineage of the tribe of Benjamin which Paul embraced as his own.
Fe-Fi-Fo-Fum
In addition to being cursed to wolfdom, to understand more of the negative connotation associated with Paul’s ancestry, we must consider the phrase “mighty men.”Genesis 6:4: There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Genesis 10:8 tells us of how Nimrod, the son of Cush, likewise a cursed grandson of Ham, became mighty [opposition] before Yah.
In 1 Samuel, chapter 17, we learn about Goliath, a mighty giant whose height was six cubits and a span; approximately 10 feet 6 inches.
GIANTS
ji’-ants The word appears in the King James Version as the translation of the Hebrew words Nephilim, Genesis 6:4; Numbers 13:33; Repha’im, Deuteronomy 2:11,20; 3:11,13; Joshua 12:4; Rapha’, 1 Chronicles 20:4,6,8, or Raphah, 2 Samuel 21:16, 18, 20, 22; in one instance of Gibbor, literally, “mighty one,” Job 16:14.
In the first two cases the Revised Version, British and American, changes “giants” into the Hebrew words Nephilim, nephilim and Rephaim, repha’im, respectively. The Nephilim of Genesis 6:4 are not to be confounded with the “mighty men” subsequently described as the offspring of the unlawful marriages, of “the sons of God” and “the daughters of men.” It is told that they overspread the earth prior to these unhallowed unions. That the word, whatever its etymology, bears the sense of men of immense stature is evident from the later passages. Numbers 13:33. The same is true of the Rephaim, as shown by the instance of Og, Deuteronomy 3:11; Joshua 12:4. There is no doubt about the meaning of the word in the ease of the giants mentioned in 2 Samuel 21 and 1 Chronicles 20. [1]
Beware the big bad wolf
Ezekiel 22:27: Her princes in the midst thereof [are] like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.Matthew 7:15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. [Jacob called Benjamin a ravening wolf.]
John 10:12: But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
Jude 1:4: For there are certain men crept in unawares [Paul], who were before of old ordained to this condemnation [Tribe of Benjamin, Genesis 49:27-28], ungodly men [Pharisees, mighty giants, etc.], turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. [Paul denies Yahushua in Romans 8:3 and Philippians 2:7.]
Additional wolf warnings can be found in: Matthew 7:15, Matthew 10:16, John 10:11-15 and Acts 20:28-31.
Paul/Balaam parallel
Numbers chapters 22 and 23 in a nutshell:Balaam was a soothsayer who was hired by Moab to curse Israel, yet prayed to Yah and was told to bless Israel instead. On his way to Moab the angel of Yah stood in his way to oppose him and Balaam and his companions had a “Road to Moab” experience. In this experience Balaam became aware that he was unjustly persecuting his donkey and said, “I have sinned.” Balaam ended up blessing Israel several times to the dismay of those who had hired him.
However, the next time we hear of Balaam, in Numbers 31:8, he is slain with the Midianites. We find out why later in verse 16.
Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Yah in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of Yah. Balaam was converted and blessed, yet fell away and caused the children of Israel to commit trespass against Yah.
We have to go to the New Testament to find out more specifically what sins were involved. Balaam is referred to in 2 Peter, Jude and Revelation. The verses with the most information is in Revelation 2:12-15.
And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans [n.- lay person, heretic] which thing I hate.
Who in the NT could Messiah have been warning against that would be a type of Balaam? Paul unjustly persecuted Yah’s people, had a conversion experience on the Road to Damascus and intermingled the words of Yah with disinformation.
We can take this parallel further to see that Paul made statements to the effect that fornication and eating food offered to idols are lawful to him.
1 Corinthians 6:12: All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. [Including Yah.]
1 Corinthians 8:7: Howbeit [there is] not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat [it] as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
Yahushua never taught this and like it or not, it is another gospel.
Paul’s phony bologna signs and wonders
Paul came with signs and wonders. We are told to flee from such antichrists rather than accepting them! Sadly, many accept Paul’s Gospel and reject the words of Yahushua.Deuteronomy 13:1-5: If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep His Commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve Him, and cleave unto Him. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
Paul was not martyred; he was executed for speaking against Yah.
Matthew 7:15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
[Referring back to tribe of Benjamin in Genesis 49:27: Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.]
Matthew 24:11: And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
The immutable truth is that Yah does not change which means that the Mosaic Law and Torah are not done away with as Pauline Doctrine would have us believe.
Yahushua’s words:
Matthew 24:24: For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.Matthew 24:26: Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not.
Paul’s words
Romans 15:19: Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.Galatians 1:6: I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel.
Here Paul is getting a nose snorting chuckle that we were/are so easily conned into following him rather than Yah.
Yahushua’s words
Revelation 2:2: I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not and hast found them liars.Paul is the wolf of the tribe of Benjamin, a deceiver, one who would show great signs and wonders, one who would get his revelation in the desert, and one who would be a self-proclaimed Apostle but indeed a fantastic liar.
Paul the liar
Who but a liar repeatedly claims he is not?Romans 3:4: Let God be true, and every man a liar.
Let it be understood that by saying that every man a liar, Paul was including not only himself but Yahushua, the son of Yah as well.
Romans 9:1,2: I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, that I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
2 Corinthians 11:30-31: If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
Galatians 1:20: Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
1 Timothy 2:3-7: For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of Jesus our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ; who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, I speak the truth in Christ, [and] lie not; a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
1 Corinthians 15:5: Paul wrote the lie, “Christ, first, appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.”
The unified doctrine as recorded in Matthew 28:9, Mark 16:9, Luke 24:10 and John 20:14,15 each emphasize that Yahushua the Messiah first appeared to the women.
1 Corinthians 15:6: Paul wrote the lie, “…After that he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time.”
Acts 1:15: But the Apostle Peter testifies that “the number of names altogether were about a hundred and twenty disciples.”
1 Corinthians 15:8: Paul wrote this lie too, “…and last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared to me also.”
Fact or fiction? Paul gets confused about the most important day of his life
Paul’s “conversion” stories are found in Acts 9, Acts 22 and Acts 26.Let’s review the three very different accounts of Paul’s conversion by his own testimony; none of which qualifies him for apostleship.
Acts 9:1-9: And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Paul, Paul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. And Paul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
Acts 22:6-11: And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me. And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me. And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do. And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
Acts 26:13-18: At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
What gives Paul? Did you alone see a light or did everyone? Did you hear a voice but no man? Did the others see a man and hear nothing? This is supposed to be the most amazing thing to ever happen yet you “don’t recall” the facts? You are a time waster, a liar and a thief of souls.
Furthermore, there is no need for guessing, Paul tells you exactly who and what the blinding light was in 2 Corinthians 11.
Paul’s angel of light blinds people – Yah opens them!
2 Corinthians 11:13-14: For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Luke 10:18: Yahushua said to them “I saw Satan fall, like lightning, from heaven.”
Acts 9:18: Paul had something like scales [serpent scales] fall from his eyes.
Galatians 1:12,15-17: I did not receive it [the Gospel] from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ But when God, who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not consult any man, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
Bare in mind, one of the requirements for apostleship is that you must have accompanied Yahushua’s twelve disciples in person. In the above scripture, we see that although Paul has the opportunity to consult with the true apostles, he does not even make an attempt to do so.
Test the spirits
Always test the spirits, John teaches you how.1 John 4:1-3: Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of Yah: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Paul fails the test by denying Christ in the flesh

Paul’s admission of parting with the Apostles
Jude 1:19: These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.When Paul says that they, the apostles, seemed to be pillars in Galatians 2:9, Paul is denying the fact that they are apostles and refuses to listen to them. Galatians 2:2-6
Galatians 2:7: Paul boasts of his failure to take any information and blatantly states that his own doctrine is contrary to that of the apostles’ handpicked by Yahushua! In fact, he claimed that his failure to do so was proof that his message was from Yah.
John, one of the “seeming pillars” and true apostle says this in 1 John 4:6:
(UPDATE: Pillars, I have come to understand were Ebionites, which John
Acts 1:21-22: Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that He was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of His resurrection. And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Acts 10:39-42: Spoken by the llest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans [n.- lay person, heretic] which thing I hate.
Who in the NT could Messiah have been warning against that would be a type of Balaam? Paul unjustly persecuted Yah’s people, had a conversion experience on the Road to Damascus and intermingled the words of Yah with disinformation.
We can take this parallel further to see that Paul made statements to the effect that fornication and eating food offered to idols are lawful to him.
1 Corinthians 6:12: All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. [Including Yah.]
1 Corinthians 8:7: Howbeit [there is] not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat [it] as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
/h3emcertainly was.)
We [the apostles] are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Paul fits 1 John 2:19: They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
Knowing he’d be under further suspicion, having left their group, Paul spins this separation in that the apostles would “alone” to focus on the Jews and Paul would “alone” focus on the gentiles. Galatians 2:9
Robbing Peter to pay Paul
Acts 15:7: And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among unbnbsp;/ /pp/psp /p/pol;/p/ olpols, that /pthe gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.The disputing was because Peter would not forfeit his given command to teach the gentiles over to Paul. Peter was adamant about this and would not/could not disobey Yah in this matter.
Peter’s ambiguous warning
First let me begin by stating that I not convinced that the actual Apostle Peter is the author of the entire, if any at all, of the two books by the same name. I would encourage you to do your own research and discern whether this rings true for yourselves.Secondly, this is the one and only scripture in the entire Bible that can ever so lightly be taken in Paul’s defense; but can it really?
Either way, let’s take what we were given and dissect it. It nbsp;
Furthermore, there is no need for guessing, /h2is ambiguous at best.
2 Peter 3:13-14:
Nevertheless we, [the twelve Apostles handpicked by ol/liol/liYahushua] according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, [reader] seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless . . .
Q. So which is it, can we or can we not be found righteous?
A. Contradicting every other author in the entire Bible, it is Paul who says that being found righteous is not possible. Romans 3:10
Will you hang your faith on Yahushua and his requirement meeting Apostles or are you going to stand with Paul?
2 Peter 3:15:
. . . AndPaul is of the tribe of Benjamin accouBare in mind, one of the requirements for apostleship is that you must have accompanied Yahushua’s twelve disciples in personBare in mind, one of the requirements for apostleship is that you must have accompanied Yahushua’s twelve disciples in personnt that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him; hath written unto yoPaul/Balaam parallelPaul’s phony bologna silight from heaven
gns and wondeolrsu;
Q. Wisdom given by whom?
A. It doe/li/strong/str/l/liiongsn’t say that the wisdom was provided by Yah.
2 Peter 3:16-18:
. . . As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, [wrest: verb- to get by effort, scripture twisting.] as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, [reader] seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
The one word “beloved” having been either inserted or mistranslated becomes misleading to those without discernment. Take that lone word out and the passage reads as follows [Paraphrased]:
Paul, according to the wisdom of the Pharisee, will say things that are jacked up and completely different from what we have told you. Because you don’t truly understand your God or of His ways and His laws which Yahushua and we, all the real Apostles, strictly follow; you will find yourself in deep s_it. Look people, we’re telling you about this now so you don’t screw up later. Pay attention to what we are telling you and heed our warning.
Furthermore, if you notice the underlined phrase, “lest ye also,” ask yourself whom that “also” is referring to. Isn’t this scripture talking about Paul or is there a non-existent segway that I’m missed?
Paul teaches against Torah – Another gospel
Upon reading all of Acts 15, please take note of the swift intervention by James telling “all the people listen to me” and not to listen to Barnabas and Paul who attempted to show “signs and wonders” to deceive, if possible, even the elect exactly as Yahushua warned in Matthew 24:24.Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, men and brethren, hearken unto me: Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: but that we write unto them [and not Paul the liar] that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day.
It is Paul who confuses the Sabbath and Yah’s holy days
John 5:46,47: For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?The Sabbath according to Moses
Exodus 20:8-9: Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work.Exodus 23:12: Six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor in order that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave, as well as your stranger, may refresh themselves.
Exodus 31:15: For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
Deuteronomy 5:12: Observe the Sabbath day to keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you.
Leviticus 26:2: You shall keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary; I am the Lord.
The Sabbath according to Paul
Romans 14:5: One man regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Let each man be fully convinced in his own mind.Colossians 2:16: Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day.
[Note: I would recommend you take a second look at Isaiah 66.]
Q. Where is it written, that we will be punished for obeying the laws of Torah? Or that we “cannot possibly obey” Torah as Yahushua and the Apostles did?
A. It isn’t.
Satan, our adversary, wants us to ignore the Torah. If we think Eve goofed over such a simple thing then we should look at how we might find ourselves in the very same situation. Satan is an expert and compulsive liar and he has multitudes following his masquerading messengers of lawlessness.
“Legalism” and the accompanying criticisms cannot be found anywhere in the texts. It is the merchants who say it is permissible to rest on any given day as you sit in your Government and IRS approved 501(c)(3) Sun-god-day assembly; feeling good about yourself for contributing to their wonderful work. They are the priests of Baal who lead you astray worshiping the pagan’s god, Amen Ra on Baal’s Day.
One only has to start obeying the 4th Commandment, the 7th day Shabbat and watch how those professing to be the Lord’s people react to you. The 7th day Sabbath is the sign of the Eternal Covenant which I will discuss shortly.
By choosing the 7th day Sabbath to rest, without fail, you can be marked with the Sign of The Eternal Covenant as stated in Genesis 2:2, Exodus. 31:12-17, Ezekiel. 20:12, Isaiah 56:4-8.
Paul says that sin is only sin if you think it is a sin
What!?! You’ve got to be kidding me.Romans 14:14: I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
1 Corinthians 3:10: According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, [A Freemason] I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
Acts 4:11-12: He, Yahushua, is the stone you builders [Freemasons] rejected which has become the capstone. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.
Paul was a Freemason and Acts 18:3 tells us that Paul was a tent maker who just happens to claim he had laid the foundation.
Funny, I thought that Yahushua was the one who laid it.
Paul, however, did get one thing correct here when he said, “But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.”
I hope you all understand that tents are temporary shelter.
Paul teaches yet another new gospel
Paul took away from David’s words in Psalms 68:18: Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast “received gifts” for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them” and changed them to read…He “gave gifts” to men, in Ephesians 4:8, Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
That’s a huge difference in meaning!
And another new gospel
Paul teaches against circumcision.Acts 16:1: Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek: Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
Galatians 5:2: Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Genesis 17:10: This [is] my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
Exodus 12:48: And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
Hmmm… YHVH said you should do it. Even Paul himself did it, however; Paul preached against it.
Again, another gospel
Paul advocates eating the unclean.Yah showed Peter visions of clean and unclean foods and he even converted Cornelius in Acts chapter 10. As it turned out and rarely, if ever, taught in any Pauline church that this was in reality a division of “mankind” being clean; a reference to half-man by fornication with fallen angels but that’s a whole other subject. You can read about them in Genesis 4 and 6, Daniel 4, Matthew 24 and Jude 1:6.
Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and beguile my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols. Revelation 2:20.
This flies directly in the face of what Paul taught in, 1 Corinthians 8:1-13 and 10:23-33.
In Paul’s world, the sin of it all is only in one’s head. But I digress; had Yahushua indeed pronounced all foods clean, Peter would have been there and learned of it!
Paul has effectively done away with YHVH’s law.
Isaiah 14:13, 14: For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Preparing for trial in Ephesus
In 2 Corinthians 1:8-9 and 2 Timothy 1:15-18, Paul throws a pity party and whimpers and whines of really bad things that happened to him in Asia.Acts 19:8-10: And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of Yah. [Disputing things of Yah !?!] But when divers [many who knew Yah] were hardened, [against Paul's false teachings] and believed not, [They didn't believe Paul's B.S.] but spake evil [cursed Paul of blasphemy] of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
When rightly in Yah, as the Apostles most assuredly were, there would not be division and disputing such as this.
1 Corinthians 1:10: Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
This coming from the same Paul who frightened the Apostles and separated himself when they believed him not.
The first portion of James chapter 2 is a court trial. Notice the language of trials: judges, 2:4, judgment seats, 2:6, law, 2:8, 9, 10, 12, transgressors, 2:9, 11, guilty, 2:10, judged, 2:12, judgment, 2:13.
In verse 2:14, James confronts the basis of Paul’s faith based gospel then further confronts Paul’s use of the example of Abraham’s faith based righteousness, Romans 4:3, Galatians 3:6 and comes up with not faith alone but faith and works. You can read in James Ch. 3 where he gives more examples of works being required for righteousness.
Letter to The Church of Ephesus
Revelation 2:1-5: Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: [John was talking about Paul who was tried in Ephesus!] And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.Paul plainly tells you that he’s corrupt
Here Paul is now [rightly] saying that Yahushua was not the only blameless person but those who follow the law being also blameless. Paul doesn’t like this very much so he attempts to spin it to say that by murdering people is to him a dandy, fine and blameless act.Really, he does. I am not creative enough to make this stuff up.
Philippians 3:7:
But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.
Wait, stop the buss! It was HaShatan/Satan and his minions who lost everything and it is Satan who wishes to “win” the title of Christ – If Paul were really saved by grace, he should not have to “win” anything.
On to another point, shall we?
In Matthew 22:37-40 (quoting Deuteronomy 6:4-9), Yahushua said, “Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
The first 4 of the 10 Commandments teach us how to love Yah
- Have no other gods before me
- Make no likeness nor bow down to any
- Do not take His name in vain
- Remember the Sabbath
- Honor father and mother
- Do not murder
- Do not commit adultery
- Do not steal
- Do not bare false witness against your neighbor
- Do not covet that which is your neighbor’s
Paul says that it is himself that is your father
Yahushua said:
Matthew 23:9: Do not call anyone on earth your father; for one is your father, He who is in heaven.Paul says:
1 Corinthians 4:15-16: For though ye have unclean of itself ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.Excuse me Paul; you want us to follow you? You have not begotten us and you certainly are not our father.
Paul clearly taught that we are saved by being passive beneficiaries. Hogwash! at its finest
I [Paul] testify to the gospel of the grace of God [another gospel] all things are lawful. Acts 20:24, 2 Corinthians 11:4, 1 Corinthians 10:23Yahushua’s Apostles taught in Jude 1:4 and 1 John 2:22: Perverting the grace of our Lord into lawlessness even denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Saved by grace
Yahushua’s words:
Matthew 23:13: But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.Paul’s words:
Philippians 3:3-8: For we are the circumcision, [Yahushua never taught this] God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the [righteousness which is in the law], blameless.Paul started the Christian Church, teaching that we are saved by grace. The true Apostles also mentioned Yah’s mercy and grace; nonetheless, they still always observed Torah laws including the Mosaic statutes. So just where does grace begin?
Genesis 6:7-9: And the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I regret that I have made them.” But Noah found grace in the eyes of The Lord. This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
Genesis 7:1: And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
No one else on earth found grace or mercy from Yah except one man and his family because he did not have alien blood coursing through his veins Noah was “perfect in his generations” (Genesis 6:9) and was “just and righteous!” Contrary to Paul’s doctrine, becoming a beneficiary of Yah’s grace has everything to do with works. Grace and works are not mutually exclusive. They are inextricably connected to one another.
Psalm 84:11: For God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
Exodus 20: 5,6: For I, God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
Psalm 103:17,18: But the mercy of God is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children’s children, to such as keep His covenant, and to those who remember His Commandments to do them.
The Church of Paul
Acts 13:1: Now in the church that was in Antioch there were certain prophets and Paul.The Disciples of Paul were first called Christians in Antioch. Acts 11:26.
Paul was arrested and a lawyer made accusations against him before Felix. Part of this dialog describes the sect which Paul was a member of: further stating that he was the ringleader of this Nazarene sect and was seized after having tried to desecrate the Temple. Acts 24:5
The word Christian is pagan to the core
YHVH picked the land of Israel to be his land. Yahushua was Hebrew. It really isn’t that difficult to apply some common sense here. Followers of Yah need to understand that their stated beliefs are founded upon things that are Hebrew. Period. From the beginning, Christian has been a Greek pagan term.- Chrestos Mithras – pure, sacred, good, holy., Roman meaning was interchangeable: “good Mithras” or “holy Mithras”
- Christ Helios – Mandaean – sun worship
- Chreistos Osiris, Alexandrian – Osiris/sun worship
Acts 28:22: While Paul was arrested and taken to Rome; he was kept in the home of a centurion. He called for the chief Yahudim, and they had heard of this sect, and said to Paul, “But we desire to hear from you, what you think: for as concerning this sect, we know that everywhere it is spoken against.”
It was spoken against for a darn good reason. It was heresy! What would a bunch of Israelites who practice Torah and follow Yahushua Messiah be doing with a Greek term used by Pagans as a label for themselves?
Are we to search out the Greco-Roman roots or the Hebrew origins of our faith? One of them hinders and clouds our understanding and the other is essential to it!
The thorn in Paul’s side
Paul’s thorn was not in his side; it was a demonic possession inside!2 Corinthians 12:7: And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in [inside] the flesh [body/self], to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
Really!?! The supposed “most revered apostle ever” was demon possessed?
Q. Weren’t the Apostles told to cast out demons rather than make excuses to let them waste space in cohabitation?
Q. This idiot [Paul] wants us to honestly believe that Yah placed a demon inside of him? Paul’s reasoning- get this… “Lest he be exalted above measure.” Give me a break.
What is a disinformation agent?
Disinformation is false or inaccurate information that is spread deliberately. It may include the distribution of forged documents, manuscripts, and photographs, or spreading malicious rumors and fabricated intelligence. Disinformation should not be confused with misinformation, information that is unintentionally false.In espionage or military intelligence, disinformation is the deliberate spreading of false information to mislead an enemy as to one’s position or course of action. In politics, disinformation is the deliberate attempt to deflect voter support of an opponent, disseminating false statements of innuendo based on the candidates vulnerabilities as revealed by opposition research. In both cases, it also includes the distortion of true information in such a way as to render it useless.
Disinformation techniques may also be found in commerce and government, used to try to undermine the position of a competitor. It is an act of deception and blatant false statements to convince someone of an untruth.
Unlike traditional propaganda and Big Lie techniques designed to engage emotional support, disinformation is designed to manipulate the audience at the rational level by either discrediting conflicting information or supporting false conclusions.
Another technique of concealing facts, or censorship, is also used if the group can effect such control. When channels of information cannot be completely closed, they can be rendered useless by filling them with disinformation, effectively lowering their signal-to-noise ratio and discrediting the opposition by association with a lot of easily-disproved false claims.
A common disinformation tactic is to mix some truth and observation with false conclusions and lies, or to reveal part of the truth while presenting it as the whole.5
Here is but one example:
We are not to glory in the cross, death/mass, but the resurrection of Yahushua; nonetheless, Paul gets it wrong again and again goes as far as saying that it is he/himself that died for us.
Galatians 6:14: But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
1 Corinthians 1:31: Just as it is written, let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.
The Mocking by Satan
Good and evil are not equal forces; evil is an absence or a twisting of good. Satan cannot create; he can only mock.- Yahuah creates worship; Satan mocks with idolatry.
- Yahuah creates procreation and love; Satan mocks with adultery.
- Yahuah creates truth; Satan mocks with lies.
Evil has no substance or creation of its own; it exists in terms of good, twisted, distorted, absent. Good exists on its own terms; it existed long before evil and it will exist long after evil has no existence save torment in the lake of fire. But then why do good and evil fight?
Evil fights good because it stands in rebellion against good. Good has its own purposes, and because evil stands in the way, fights evil as an obstruction. It is not defined by this fight and will not lose anything of itself when the last battle is over; in the New Jerusalem, we will see good in its truest and purest form.
A little leaven leavens the whole lump, which is why faith must be built from the beginning, not on heresy but on the foundation of Yah.
Yah does not change!
There is no “new covenant,” Yahushua was renewing the original covenant!Paul showed his hatred for Yah, The Father by teaching the lie:
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself. Galatians 5:14. Romans 13:9
This equates to dismissing any and all love for Yah.
Admitting guilt of lying
Romans 3:7: For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?Philippians 1:18: In every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Yahushua is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.
Once again Paul is admitting the guilt of lying.
Pretense. noun – pretending or feigning; make-believe: a lie.
And then there is this…
Galatians 1:18: If we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you let him be a curse.
This passage is actually tri fold. Not only is it a warning to examine the authors of the Bible itself. Good to do indeed. Secondly, it is a lame attempt by Paul to deflect examination of his lies. Last but not least, Paul is actually placing a curse on anyone who does not believe or speaks against him, et al. Let’s try looking at it again to discern what it is really telling us.
If we [Paul and his merry band of freaks] or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel to you than what we [Paul and Co.] have preached to you let him be a curse.
Satan has always cursed the things of Yah so this should come as no surprise and angels from heaven are angels who have not fallen. In no way would they preach against Yah. They would however preach against a false prophet.
If you are familiar with the story of Job, you know that Satan, by contract with YHVH, must in one way or another, announce his dealings; offering us a choice. We call this “free will.” We are explicitly told to test the spirits and should not be ashamed to do so, even when it includes the very authors of our Bible.
A very common theme in Paul’s writings
John 5:43: I have come in My Father’s Name, and you do not receive Me; if another shall come in his own name, you will receive him.Likewise, Paul makes habit of beginning his books with, “I Paul” and goes on to say things that sound all warm and fuzzy yet later admits deceit, cunning and craftiness.
Nearly the whole of the New Testament today are books written by Paul, canonized by the Council of Nicaea/Vatican. Yah allows this blasphemy to serve His own purposes – just as He allowed the serpent to beguile Eve and Adam who was with her in the Garden of Eden.
The next time you are sitting in your church, pay close attention; are you worshiping Yah or are you worshiping Paul? Try it again the following week. I would bet my life that 99% of you will not be able to deny that you are learning all things Paul.

"Paul Says" (Part Three) from Willie Martin Archive
Source: http://www.israelect.com/reference/WillieMartin/Paul%20Says%20[A].htm
[Return to Part Two]
Here then is the matrix of antinomies, along with a brief statement of the apparent logical contradiction in each case (the original Greek should always be checked, at least via Adolph Knoch's superlative interlinear [Biblio.#17, above], as modern translations often blur these very discrepancies):
· 1. Acts 9:7 -- Acts 22:9
In the propositional calculus of modern logic, ‘p & not‑q’ is the truth‑functional negation of ‘q & not‑p’. Thus ‘they heard but did not see’ directly contradicts ‘they saw but did not hear’. Yet this famous event on the Damascus road was the sole original justification for Paul's supposed commission in independence of Peter/Kefa and the other Apostles.
· 2. Acts 9:26‑29 -- Galatians 1:17‑2:1
Did Paul then travel immediately; or seventeen years later! from Damascus to Jerusalem in order to meet with the entire Apostolic circle?
· 3. Mathewt 22:41‑45 -- Romans 1:3
Paul asserts that Christ is descended from David, which Christ himself in the Gospels explicitly denies (the synoptic genealogies merely providing the OT background to this transcending self‑assertion).
· 4. Luke 2:49, 19:45‑46 -- Acts 17:24
The Gospels endorse the OT designation of the Temple in Jerusalem as the very House of the LORD. Paul nevertheless proclaims to the Athenians that God inhabits no sanctuary made by human hands.
· 5. Acts 1:15 -- I‑Corinthians 15:6
How can Christ have appeared to over 500 Brothers at a time (prior to the ascension) when the entire Discipleship numbered only 120?
· 6. Matthew 10:2&40, 16:15‑19 -- Galatians 2:11‑13
The explicit designation of Simon Peter as the foremost Apostle, with all the delegated authority of the Lord himself, logically precludes any other Disciple or Apostle opposing him ‘to his face’ and (worse yet) calling him a hypocrite.
· 7. Matthew 28:16‑20; Acts 10:1‑11:18, 15:7‑8 & 13‑18 -- Galatians 2:6‑9
The Gospel doctrine is clearly that, after the resurrection, the remaining eleven Apostles were sent forth to proclaim the good news to the whole world. Paul nevertheless claims to be the one and only Apostle to the gentiles (‘the’ Apostle as he is often called), while Peter and the others according to this view were to be restricted to evangelizing among the Jews.
· 8. Matthew 5:48; Lk 1:6; John 1:14, 6:53‑56 -- Romans 8:8
The incarnation of the Logos, and also the injunction to be perfect, entail that those who are in the flesh can indeed please God.
· 9. Luke 24:36‑43; John 11:43‑44, 20:27; Acts 1:9‑11; Phippians 25 -- I‑Corinthians 15:50
The evangelists proclaim an incarnate resurrection and parousia (second coming), whereas Paul on the contrary takes an anti‑corporeal, frankly gnostic position.
· 10. Luke 4:5‑8; John 18:36, 19:18; Acts 4:26 (Psalm 2:2) -- Romans 13:1‑5
The celestial kingdom is described in the Gospels as of another order from the entire realm of the nations, which are ruled by Satan and whereby Christ was crucified. On the other hand, the secular authorities with all their weaponry (including Mark 15:16 ff.??) are stated by Paul to be God's own army.
· 11. Matthew 22:21 -- Acts 25:11
Christ cedes taxes to Caesar, Paul cedes his personal security to him (Nero, no less!).
· 12. Deuteronomy 23:15‑16; Matthew 23:10‑12; John 8:31‑36 -- Colossians 4:1; I‑Timothy 6:1‑2; Philemons 10‑19
The re‑conceptualization in the Gospels promises to emancipate the believers from oppressive relationships, while Paul literally endorses slavery within the Discipleship.
· 13. Matthew 12:46‑50, 23:8‑9; Luke 14:25‑26; John 1:12‑13, 3:1‑8, 11:52 -- Colossians 3:18‑21; I‑Timothy 5:8
Christ teaches that family ties are to be renounced in favor of; that is, replaced by, the Father/Motherhood of God together with the Brother/Sisterhood of their incarnate Sons and Daughters, whereas Paul adamantly defends the traditional family structure.
· 14. Matthew 19:10‑12; Luke 14:20‑26, 18:28‑30, 20:34‑36; Philippians 64! -- I‑Corinthans 7:2‑16 & 9:5(?!); Ephesians 5:22‑24; I‑Timothy 3:1‑4:3
The Gospels stipulate that those worthy of salvation must transcend matrimony (note that Luke 18:28‑30 occurs after Luke 4:38‑39); after all, according to Genesis 3:16, monandry was Eve's punishment for disobedience! Paul notwithstanding permits a continuation of marriage among the Disciples.
· 15. Numbers 6:5; Leviticus 19:27; Matthew 2:23 (Judges 13:5); Tr 21 -- I‑Corinthians 11:14
The Hebrew tradition was that long hair on male or female is a sign of holiness and special devotion to God. Indeed the word at Mt 2:23 is NAZWRAIOS (the LXX or Septuagint term for Nazirite), not NAZARHNOS (i.e. someone from Nazareth). Were not John the Baptist and Christ both thus consecrated from birth?
· 16. Matthew 6:24‑34, 10:8; Mark 10:13‑31; Luke 14:28‑33; Acts 4:32‑36 -- Acts 18:1‑3; I‑Corinthians 11:34; II‑Thessalonians 3:6‑12
Christ decrees a cessation of working for mammon, donating all private possessions to the poor, and following thereafter a lifestyle both communal and itinerant; childlike and without anxiety day‑to‑day like the birds and the flowers, with all shared possessions being distributed equitably among those who have need, thus lifting the curse of toil from mankind (Gensis 3:17‑19). Paul's advice, on the contrary, is to ‘eat at home’ and avoid idlers, who must either work or go hungry.
· 17. Mark 7:14‑23; Luke 7:34 -- Romans 14:21; I‑Corinthians 8:13
Either we ought, or we ought not, to maintain some particular diet for religious reasons. Yet Paul agrees with neither the OT's dietary rules (kashrut) nor the Savior's remarkable midrash (commentary) thereupon.
· 18. Matthew 12:19 (Isaiah 42:2); Luke 10:7 -- Acts 17:16‑34, 20:20
Paul preActshes house‑to‑house, as well as in the streets and squares— contrary to Christ's paradigm.
· 19. Matthew 6:5‑6 -- I‑Timothy 2:8
Paul demands the very same outspoken prayer which Christ condemns as exhibitionist; the Savior states that one should only pray in solitude and in secret, never openly.
· 20. Matthew 18:1‑4; Mark 9:33‑35; Luke 14:7‑11 -- II‑Corinthians 11:5‑12:13
Paul's recounting of his travels is insubordinately boastful and rivalrous; rather than humble, respectful and obedient, toward those who preceded him in the Discipleship.
· 21. Matthew 5:43‑48, 7:1‑5, 9:10‑13, 18:21‑35; John 8:2‑11 -- I‑Corinthians 5; Galatians 5:12; Tit 3:10‑11
The Gospel attitude toward wrongdoers is merciful, yet Paul's is frankly inquisitional. Is ‘turning someone over to Satan for the extermination of the flesh’ intended to mean delivering him to the secular authorities for execution (as in John 19:17‑18)? Are we to love our enemies or condemn and castigate them?
· 22. Matthew 23:8‑12 -- Acts 20:28; I‑Corinthians 4:15; I‑Timothy 3:1‑13
Paul introduces the terms ‘father’ and ‘deacon’ and ‘bishop’ to designate religious leaders— the very sort of title (along with ‘pastor,’ ‘minister,’ etc.) which Christ had explicitly prohibited. Indeed, the passage in Matthew would seem to preclude any kind of hierarchy in the Discipleship other than simple seniority (thus PRESBUTEROS, ‘elder’, in Acts 21:18, Jasher 5:14, I‑Peter 5:1, II‑John 1) by which criterion Paul was obliged to submit to the original Apostles, quite contrary to II‑Corinthans 11:5 & Galatians 2:6.
· 23. Gen 17:10; Luke 2:21 -- Acts 16:3(?!); Galathians 5:2; Phlpenas 3:2; Titus 1:10‑11
Saying that it is necessary ‘to gag (EPISTOMIZEIN) circumcisionist dogs’ is conceptually inappropriate in an Apostolic context. In any event, even if Christ referred to that custom parabolically; as in Th 53, he certainly did not forbid its physical practice.
· 24. Luke 11:27‑28; John 4:1‑30, 11:20‑35, 20:11‑18; Th 21 -- I‑Corinthians 14:34‑35; I‑Timothy 2:11‑15
Various women speak up boldly to the Savior. Later, Mariam Magdalene as first witness (!) of the resurrection is sent by Christ to ‘angel’ (AGGELLW: p66* )* A B) his rising to the Apostles themselves. This is not a teaching of mere female submissiveness or keeping quiet in the Convocation!
· 25. Luke 7:36‑8:3, 10:38‑42, 23:55‑24:11; John 12:1‑3; Th 61b, 114; Phillipians 59 -- I‑Corinthians 7:1‑2; Ephesians 5:22‑24
The Gospels represent women as an intimate part of Christ's entourage; thus rescinding the punishment of husband‑domination in Genesis 3:16. Paul emphatically opposes any liberated role for females.
· 26. Matthew 3:11‑17, 28:19‑20; Philippians 73, 96, 115(!) -- Romans 6:3‑4; Colossians 2:12
The Gospels endorse John's Baptism in water as signifying repentance and cleansing vis‑à‑vis the Torah, and which furthermore is explicitly to be undertaken ‘in the Name’. Paul, however, sees Baptism as a metaphorical or participatory dying!
· 27. Luke 23:43; John 5:24, 8:51; Th 1, 18, 19, 111; Ph 43 -- I‑Thessalonias 4:16‑17
Christ teaches that his Disciples will not experience death, regardless of martyrdom, whereas Paul writes of ‘the dead in Christ.’
· 28. Matthew 5:17‑19, 19:16‑19; Luke 16:29‑31; Acts 21:17‑24(!!); 4QMT:C.26b‑31 -- Romans 7:6; Galatians 3:10, 5:18
If the entire Torah; the decalogue in particular, but also the remaining mitzvot(moral rules) such as Leviticus 19:18 et passim, is in effect until the sky and earth pass away, then the Mosaic Law is not an obsolete curse from which believers are absolved. This was the very topic at issue when, after Paul had completed his three missionary journeys, ‘all of the Elders’ (!) in Jerusalem required him to take the Nazirite vow, to prove his continuing adherence to the Law of Moses. (‘The works of the Torah...will be reckoned to you as righteousness’; from the Dead Sea Scrolls)
· 29. Matthew 7:21, 11:2‑6!, 19:16‑19, 25:31‑46; John 13:34!, 14:21, 15:10; Jasher 2:14‑26 -- Romans 3:28, 10:9; I‑Corintians 15:35‑44
Christ says that one's calling him ‘Lord’ is not enough, but rather that the Disciple's total obedience is demanded; both the OT and the Gospels require obedience to a plenitude of divine commandments, with resultant fruitful deeds. Indeed, it was precisely by his works; and not merely by his faith, that Christ proved his own authority to John the Baptist! Paul on the other hand states that a simple confession of faith, along with a belief in Christ's (merely spiritual, not corporeal) resurrection, suffices, a thoroughly antinomian doctrine. (This subject must be carefully distinguished from that of forgiveness; both among humans and between God and humankind, as a pre‑eminently innovative tenet in the Gospels. For of course absolution logically presupposes a transgression of the rules, not their abrogation; compare e.g. Ezekiel 18 with Matthew 6:14‑15.)
· 30. Genesis 49; Judges 2:16 ff.; Matthew 19:28; Acts 1:13‑26; Revelation/Ap 2:2, 21:14 -- I‑Corinthians 9:1‑2; II‑Corinthians 11:5‑13
Finally, we must observe the fact that the permanent tally of the Apostles was established by the Savior at exactly twelve (for obvious reasons of historical symbolism; note the symmetry at Revelation/Ap 21:12‑14), and moreover that Paul was never numbered in that circle (see also the Epistle of Barnabas 8:3).
Although Paul did in fact compose some eloquently poetic passages (such as Colossians 1:15‑20), these must, in light of the aforementioned doctrinal conflicts, be considered no more than ornamentation in his writings. Those documents, in their entirety, proclaim a discipleship which is fundamentally incompatible with the message of Christ himself as recorded in the historical Gospels.
Furthermore and most remarkably, prior to Clement of Alexandria and Irenaeus of Lyon at the close of the second century, there is no single author who quotes from both the Gospels and from the Epistles. There was thus an exceedingly long period of schism between the traditions of the Twelve and of Paul, prior to the earliest attempts at textual reconciliation.
The irony of course is that the Gospels themselves, of which tradition Paul was evidently ignorant, were ultimately only preserved by the Pauline Church, which also disseminated the very OT which Paul himself had disdained. My purpose here, however, has been merely to format a set of scriptural dichotomies, in order to exhibit the underlying logic of the ancient Messianic/Paulianity schism as essentially a conceptual (and of course personal) rather than a factual issue.
This in turn may hopefully serve to stimulate a discussion both of the apostolic status of Saul of Tarsus and thus of his inclusion in the canon. For he seems never to have joined Christ's Discipleship at all (which would have meant accepting Peter's spiritual authority), much less to have become an Apostle.
Indeed, Paul appears to have been personally in charge of the stoning of Stephen (Acts 7:58‑8:1), since according to Dueteronomy 17:7 the ‘witnesses who laid their cloaks at his feet’i.e. were under his direct authority were obliged to cast the first stones. Might one therefore ask as to his whereabouts on the night Christ was arrested? Was he then also part of the Temple guard? (Remember that Luke 22:63‑65 takes place at their hands, not those of the Romans.) Thus perhaps the puzzling II‑Corinthians 5:16, EGNWKAMEN KATA SARKA CRISTON: ‘We have known Christ according to the flesh.’ This would certainly explain his subsequent obsession with unmerited forgiveness!
These basic questions cannot be papered over, nor can they be settled by institutional fiat. For their illuminating implication is that traditional Christianity; as defined by the classical NT canon including both the Gospels and Paul's Epistles, is logically self‑contradictory and hence inherently unstable. Or, in a contemporary analogy, we might say that Paul's writings are like a computer virus: a surreptitious theological reprogram which, downloaded with the Gospels, completely changes their message, rendering it not gibberish but rather transmuted into another doctrine altogether, historical Church Christianity instead of the original Messianic Brotherhood.
31: 1 Cor 14:4: He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.”
Yet just 14 verses later Paul says: 1 Cor 14:18: “I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:”
32: Romans 3:1‑2: What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
Rom 3:7‑8
7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
KJV
Gal 1:8‑9
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
KJV
Rom 2:16
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

"Paul Says" (Part Two) from Willie Martin Archive

[Return To Part One]
“It is impossible sufficiently to regret the loss of such a text,” though he admits that in some respects it must have been apocryphal, and “we know it contained more than one strange fable.” (Holmes-Gore, Rev. V.A.; Ferrier Todd; The Distortion of Christianity. Extract from Christ or Paul? p. 18)
Several things in it are, however, highly significant.
“One very remarkable fact,” writes Renan, “is that James, the man of Jerusalem, played in the Gospel of the Hebrews a more important part than in the Evangelical tradition which has survived.” (Holmes-Gore, Rev. V.A.; Ferrier Todd; The Distortion of Christianity. Extract from Christ or Paul? p. 18)
It also appears that the first Hebrew edition embodies more than one hostile allusion to Paul. People have prophesied, and cast out devils in the name of Jesus: Jesus openly repulses them because they have “practiced illegality.”
“The parable of the tares is still more characteristic. A man has sown in his field only good seed; but whilst he slept an enemy came, sowed tares in the field, and departed. ‘Master,’ said the servants, ‘didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tares?’ And he said unto them, ‘An ‘enemy’ hath done this.’ The servants said unto him, ‘Wilt thou that we go and gather them up?’ But he said unto them, ‘Nay, lest while ye gather up the tares ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, I will say to the reapers, gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.’ It must be remembered that the expression ‘the enemy’ was the name habitually given by the Ebionites to Paul.” (Holmes-Gore, Rev. V.A.; Ferrier Todd; The Distortion of Christianity. Extract from Christ or Paul? p. 19)
Dr. W.J. Sparrow-Simpson in an article entitled “The Silence of the New Testament” gives some instances of more recent writers who question Paul’s interpretation of certain matters:
1). “Can we say that Jesus Himself ever treated it as a matter of cardinal importance that man should regard Him as the Messiah?”
2). “Jesus never, like Paul, makes the additional demand of faith in the propitiatory sacrifice of His Death.”
3). “Jesus could never have said “Do this in remembrance of Me.’ Why not? Because although Paul declares that He did, neither Matthew, nor Mark, nor John thought it necessary to put in any such command. Yet had they believed the command to have been given it is morally certain that they must have handed it on.” (Holmes-Gore, Rev. V.A.; Ferrier Todd; The Distortion of Christianity. Extract from Christ or Paul? p. 19)
4). “Jesus spoke no word, did no act that implied the necessity of an official priesthood for His people. He enforced no sacerdotal observance, instituted no sacrificial order, promulgated no sacerdotal law.” (Holmes-Gore, Rev. V.A.; Ferrier Todd; The Distortion of Christianity. Extract from Christ or Paul? p. 3)
All these quotations are typical of the writers who have been sufficiently perceptive to question Paul’s’ authority. (It should be assumed that Dr. Sparrow-Simpson agrees with the views which he quotes)
We have the equally striking view of Havelock Ellis, who thus expresses himself in his “Affirmations:”
“Something even stranger than theology or metaphysics has seemed to cut us off from the spirit of Jesus, and that is the spirit of Paul, certainly the real founder of ‘Christianity’ as we know it, for Jerome, Augustine, Luther were all the children of Paul, and in no respect the children of Jesus. That marvelous little Jew painted in its main outline the picture of Christianity which in the theater of this world has for so many centuries shut us off from Jesus. Impelled by intense and concentrated energy of his twisted suffering nature, Paul brought ‘moral force’ into our Western world, and after it that infinite procession of hypocrisies and cruelties and artificialities which still trails loathsomely across the scene of civilized life. Jesus may have been a visionary, “but His visions were in divine harmony with the course of nature, with the wine and the bread of life, with children and with flowers.” We may be very sure that Paul never considered the lilies, or found benediction with children. He trampled on nature when it came his way, and for the rest never saw it. Well might everything that has ever been evil in Christianity, its temporal power, its accursed intolerance, its contempt for reason, for beautiful living, for every sweet and sunny and simple aspect of the world; all that is involved in the awful conception of ‘moral force,’ flows directly form Paul...thus, Paul, and not Peter, was the rock on which the Church was built.” (This part of the study was taken, in part, from Judeo-Christianity on Trial,” by Stan Schmikla, Jann Publishing, P.O. box 22522, Knoxville, Tennessee 37933, pp. 96-117)
*************
Following are a few things that Paul taught in opposition to what Christ taught.
1). Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9:20: “And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law.”
Christ said in Matthew 13:2, 14‑15: “And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore...And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and SHOULD BE CONVERTED, AND I SHOULD HEAL THEM.” (Also see Mark 4:12; John 12:40; Acts 28:25-27)
Yahshua taught in parables because He did not want the Jews to understand what He was saying because if they were to see with their eyes and hear with their ears (understand) then He would have to convert them and save them.
We know that He was speaking of the Jews because He says twice: Matthew 15:24: “But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
As a second witness: Matthew 10:5‑6: “These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But GO RATHER TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.”
Isaiah told about the jews and how they would act toward Him and that He would speak in parables: Isaiah 29:13: “Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men.”
Some will say that Isaiah was speaking about the Israelites, but I say that he was not that he was speaking to a people who were not Israelites, and because Christ said the same thing then this proves that Isaiah was speaking about the jews: Isaiah 29:10‑16: “For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned...Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and THEIR FEAR TOWARD ME IS TAUGHT BY THE PRECEPT OF MEN (the traditions of the elders, which was later codified in a set of books called The Talmud): Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?”
We are told in the book of Obadiah 1:3‑8: “The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee...Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, EVEN DESTROY THE WISE MEN OUT OF EDOM, AND UNDERSTANDING OUT OF THE MOUNT OF ESAU?”
So by this we know Yahweh is speaking of the Jews because Esau is in modern Jewry Jewish Encyclopedia. Therefore it is obvious as to who was being spoken of.
Mark 4:33‑34: “And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.”
Now I full well know that He was speaking to a great multitude at times when He spoke in parables but He had to do that because there were always Jews there waiting to trap Him in His words.
Mark 12:13: “And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.”
*************
2). Paul taught Romans 3:19‑20: “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law THERE SHALL NO FLESH BE JUSTIFIED IN HIS SIGHT: FOR BY THE LAW IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF SIN.”
We know that Paul is speaking of the Israelites here because the other races and people never had the law, yet he would have you believe that all people can sin and cannot be justified by the law. Yet the Israelites are the only people on earth that ever had the laws, statutes and judgments of Yahweh.
Leviticus 26:46: “THESE ARE THE STATUTES AND JUDGMENTS AND LAWS, WHICH THE LORD MADE BETWEEN HIM AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.”
It is very clear that Yahweh did not make these laws, statutes and judgments between Him and any other people or race on earth. Only the Israelites.
Christ taught John 17:14: “I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”
One of the many things that Paul taught that was simply not true and that was he was:
“I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians (how could Paul be debtor to the barbarians or unbelievers? He could not be unless he was taking part of his teachings from them); both to the wise, and to the unwise (the unwise is portrayed in the scriptures as those who do not believe in Yahweh, therefore, how could Paul be indebted to them? Obviously he could not). So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also (in Rome were many strangers, people who were not Israelites and the Gospel was not for them, it was for Israelites only). For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth (we have already shown this to be a false statement; for the gospel was not for all the races and peoples who were not Israelites); to the Jew first (this is certainly a false statement, for the Jews are the children of the devil, and there are many places where the prophets and Christ Himself taught parables so that the Jews would not under stand and then He would have to convert them), and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith (the just shall live by faith but they must also show their faith by works, and works are doing the will of Yahweh). For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.” (Romans 1:14-18)
The Other Races Cannot Sin
Constantly we hear from the Judeo‑Christian clergy and evangelists, and even too many so‑called layman Judeo‑Christians that the Bible and the Gospel is for all the various races on earth. That all the races must be saved.
But that is an error, the Bible was not written to all the different races on earth, and it certainly was not written to the Jews, for they hate Christ and Christian (His followers) with a passion, and at every chance they get, they murder as many as they can get away with. Look at Russia, they murdered over 50 million Christians after they took over in 1917 until the present time and they are not through yet.
"Thanks to the terrible power of our International Banks, we have forced the Christians into wars without number. Wars have a special value for Jews, since Christians massacre each other and make more room for us Jews. Wars are the Jews' Harvest: The Jew banks grow fat on Christian wars. Over 100‑million Christians have been swept off the face of the earth by wars, and the end is not yet." (Rabbi Reichorn, speaking at the funeral of Grand Rabbi Simeon Ben‑Iudah, 1869, Henry Ford also noted that: 'It was a Jew who said, 'Wars are the Jews' harvest'; but no harvest is so rich as civil wars.' The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem, Vol. III, p. 180).
"Wars are the Jews harvest, for with them we wipe out the Christians and get control of their gold. We have already killed 100‑million of them, and the end is not yet." (Chief Rabbi in France, in 1859, Rabbi Reichorn).
The Laws, Statutes, and Judgments of Almighty God was given ONLY to Israel and not to any other people on the face of the earth.
"Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest." (Joshua 1:7)
God has not delt with any nation or people on earth as He has with Israel; nor will He ever do so, for He has chosen Israel to be His own and not the other races.
The Judeo-Christian clergy also say that Christ died to save all the races from their sins. Well the other races and peoples of the earth did not need Christ to save them from their sins, because they had no sins to begin with. For they never had the law to transgress, and therefore they could not sin.
"Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression." (Romans 4:15)
"(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law." (Romans 5:13)
"And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant," (1 Chronicles 16:17)
"For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children." (Psalm 78:5)
Therefore, if the other races and peoples did not have the law, then they could not have any sin. That is why there will be people who have never had a belief in Christ, will be outside the walls of the city as spoken of in the Book of Revelation.
"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. FOR WITHOUT ARE DOGS, AND SORCERERS, AND WHOREMONGERS, AND MURDERERS, AND IDOLATERS, AND WHOSOEVER LOVETH AND MAKETH A LIE." (Revelation 22:14‑15)
Therefore, the other races and people have not sinned because they never had God's Law, Statutes, and Judgments.
So when you hear the Judeo‑Christian preachers, evangelists and etc., tell you that we are to be a multi cultural people, and that there is no difference in the races is a damnable liar, for God created all the various races with to serve a specific service in His plan, and He formed Adam the father of Abraham, and therefore our father also; and only Adams descendants, the Israelites were given the Law, Statutes and Judgments of Almighty God. And God said that the different races were Good, but He will not acknowledge mixed breeds.
It is only our White Israelite people who can commit sin, because they are the only ones who were given the Law.
"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." (1 John 3:4)
Now some will falsely say that the laws of God have been given to all the races, but that is not true, they are told what God’s laws are, they have not been given them as God gave them to the Children of Israel.
We are not to be a multi-cultural people, we are not to mix with the other races because that is an Abomination to God Almighty.

3). Paul said in 1 Corinthians 5:10: “Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.”
Christ said in Matthew 18:7: “Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!”
John 8:23: “And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.”
John 15:19: “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.”
John 17:6: “I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.”
John 17:9: “I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.”
John 17:15‑16: “I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”
1 John 4:5: “They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.”
*************
4). Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:19: “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”
Here Paul is telling us that Yahweh is trying to save the entire world, and all the different people and races on earth. When that is simply not so. For as has already been shown Christ came ONLY TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, and not to any other people or races on earth.
Every single one of the verses previously shown (John 8:23; 15:19; 17:6; 17:9; 17:15-16 and 1 John 4:5) shows that Christ was not come to all the world. Paul said “reconciling the world unto himself” meaning that Yahweh was trying to reconcile all the world to Himself, and that is just simply not a true statement. No matter what you, or I, or any of the Judeo-Christians might like.
Christ said in John 17:14: “I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”
*************
5). Paul says in 1 Corinthians 11:19: “For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.”
Now we know that the Jews are famous magicians and that many of them are witches, which is heresy. However, Yahweh says: Exodus 22:18: “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.”
Deuteronomy 18:10: “There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.”
*************
6). Paul says in Romans 3:28: “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.”
This is false because we are told in James 2:21‑22: “Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? SEEST THOU HOW FAITH WROUGHT WITH HIS WORKS, AND BY WORKS WAS FAITH MADE PERFECT?”
Again we are told in James 2:24‑26: “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD ALSO.”
*************
7). Paul says in Romans 6:14: “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”
This also is false teaching because we are told in James 2:9‑12: “But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.”
James 4:11: “Speak not evil one of another, brethren (who are the brethren spoken of here, of course is it ones brother or sister Israelite which does not include those of another race or people). He that speaketh evil of his (Israelite) brother, and judgeth his (Israelite) brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.”
1 John 3:4: “WHOSOEVER COMMITTETH SIN TRANSGRESSETH ALSO THE LAW: FOR SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW.”
*************
8). Paul says in Acts 11:26: “And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.”
The name “Christian” has been universally accepted as the “new name” given to the followers of Jesus, based on this one verse from the book of Acts.
The most significant even taking place in Antioch was (we are told) the fulfillment of God’s promise found in the Book of Isaiah:
“And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and THOU SHALT BE CALLED BY A NEW NAME WHICH THE MOUTH OF THE LORD SHALL NAME.” (Isaiah 62:2)
There is absolutely no similarity in the two verses quoted. Isaiah 62:2 clearly establishes that “the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory.” The disciples were called Christians first in Antioch BY PAGANS, and the exalting element was absent. If Isaiah 62:2 is to be fulfilled accordingly, IT HAS YET TO TAKE PLACE. Christ is not only the modern English form of the ancient name of the Sun-god, Messiah Chrisna, but research by Margie Martin reveals that Christ, IN THE OCCULT, means; MAN IS HIS OWN SAVIOR. (Which is the same as the Jews in their writings: "The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah. It will attain world dominion by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy, and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this new world order the Children of Israel will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The Governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property, and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state. Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, in which is said that when the Messianic time is come the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands." (Baruch Levy, Letter to Karl Marx, La Revue de Paris, p. 54, June 1, 1928)
Historically, it is a well known fact that Jesus’ followers were ridiculed by the pagans (Jews) of Antioch and it was the pagan (Jews) of Antioch who labeled the disciples Christians. IT WAS DONE IN MALICE, MOCKERY AND RIDICULE! By inspection of the two verses, it is clearly evident that the prophecy of Isaiah 62:2 was not fulfilled in Acts 11:26, in any way, shape or form. This prophecy is to be executed in grandeur; “And the Gentiles shall see THY RIGHTEOUSNESS, and all kings THY GLORY; and (then and ONLY THEN) thou shalt be called by a new name, which THE MOUTH OF THE LORD SHALL NAME.” It is explicit that Yahweh Himself gives His people a new name, not the pagans of Antioch.
Christian (Christianos) is a word formed after the Roman style and used by the pagans of Antioch to insult the early believers. As applied by the Jewish society, without doubt, there was an implication of scorn and ridicule. Agrippa confirms this statement in Acts 26:18.
Acts 26:28: “Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.”
Though the word “chrematizo,” rendered “were called” in Acts 11:26, might be used of a name adopted by oneself or given by others, the early believers DID NOT adopt it for themselves. Justin Martyr (e.g., apol. 1, 4 p. 55a; dial. C. Tryph. Et; compare Teaching, etc. 12, 4) states that THE NAME CHRISTIAN WAS FIRST GIVEN TO JESUS’ FOLLOWERS BY THE PAGANS (but NOT ACCEPTED). However, from the second century onward, the pagans themselves ACCEPTED the name Christian as a title of honor. From the above statement, it is not too difficult to understand why Constantine proclaimed Christianity the religion of the land.
The following is an extract from “The Hoax of 20 Centuries,” by Dirk Van der Merwe who did an in depth study into the word Christianity:
“The division of Christianity is not a result of a unified religion that has suffered from the splitting off of various factions who followed “false teachings” as we have been led to believe. Rather, it is a smoldering pit of confusion (Babylon) because Christianity was designed to be all things to all men so long as they believe in Christ! As a result of this indefinite definition, Christianity today is exactly what its authors envisioned it to be; unified disunity, lawful lawlessness, the grossest contradiction of terms!
The Messianic followers were called (belonging to) THE WAY, not as some argue, because Jesus called Himself the Truth, the Life and the Way, but because they followed the Messianic methods of righteous living. Belonging to THE WAY meant operating as a community by a system based on Israelite (Yahweh’s) Laws. By community, it is not meant that the Messianic followers lived commune style or that they even lived in the same neighborhood or city; they functioned as a community.
The Messianic followers lived a lifestyle so alien and foreign to their fellow countrymen, steeped in the traditions of the elders and the ways of Babylon, that they were perceived by their contemporaries as strange and odd. It was this “bizarre” way of conducting their affairs which resulted in them all being wealthy and immune to the Babylonian system while the Babylonian system was in full force.
It was not until fifteen or sixteen years after the crucifixion that the term Christian and thus Christianity made its appearance. However, before dealing with Christianity per se, first consider its place of origin. Christianity was spawned in Antioch, a city in Syria. The story of Antioch is both fascinating and revealing. Most modern Bible dictionaries and encyclopedias claim that the city had its origin with Seleucus Nicator, who founded it in 300 B.C.
He named it in honor of either his father or his son, both of whom went by the name Antiochus. However, information found in more ancient documents cast a much different light on Nicator’s relationship to Antioch. For instance, the Jewish Encyclopedia (p. 632) states:
“The Biblical Hamath is considered by the Jerusalem Targum (Aramaic translation of the Old Testament) to be Antioch.”
The Dictionary of the Holy bible, by J.R. Carpon, published circa 1750 states:
“Antioch, the capital of Syria. This is thought to be the same as Riblah in the land of Hamath where Nebuchadnezzar spent some of the time during the siege of Jerusalem and where he slew Zedekiah’s children and put out his eyes...”
Rablah was actually Daphne, a suburb of Antioch on the east or right side of the Orontes river. Both the Encyclopedia Britannica and Jewish Encyclopedia make a point of stating that Antioch and Hamath were situated on the left or west side of the Orontes river.
Taking these latter facts into consideration , it becomes clear that Nicator did not found and name a new city (Antioch) at all. He merely renamed and revitalized the ancient city of Hamath.
Hamath is the key to understanding why Antiochus Epipanes, eighth in the Seleacuis Dynasty, was the one to be most identified with Antioch. In fact, according to the Jewish Encyclopedia, some Jews believed that Epiphanes was the true founder and why Christianity was started in that exact location. The city of Hamath was so named to honor the youngest son of Canaan (Genesis 10:18). Canaan, of course, was the one cursed by Noah, a practitioner of righteousness. The name Hamath means “enclosure or fortification of wrath.”
In light of the overt hatred that the Canaanites have always displayed to wards righteousness, plus what shell be momentarily exposed about what is known of the later history of Hamath, it is quite within reason to argue that the city was so named because it was intended (destined) to serve as a citadel from which the wrath of the Canaanites would be fortified against Yahweh of Israel. His Laws, Statutes, and Judgments and His people and everything righteous.
However, many of the Canaanites’ objectives with Hamath became obscure when Nicator changed the name of that city to Antioch. It was not until the advent of Antiochus Epiphanes that the original intent of Hamath came to the surface once more.
Jewish Historians knew full well that Epiphanes was preceded by seven others on the Seleucid throne. Yet, in a quote form “Melligat Antiochus,” we find:
“It is evident that the Jews considered Antiochus Epiphanes the founder (of Antioch).” (Jewish Encyclopedia, p. 632)
Why would the Jews believe such a theory when their own recorded history clearly militates against such thinking? There is but one reasonable, logical answer. The Jews did not recognize Epiphanes as the literal founder of the city, but rather saw him as the one who re-founded or resurrected the spirit that was expected from a city which was designed to strengthen the wrath of the Canaanites against Yahweh of Israel and His righteous ways.
Epiphanes indeed gave the Jews every reason to believe that he was the reviver of the Spirit of Hamath. It was from Antioch that Epiphanes enacted laws which made it illegal to seek after righteousness. Anyone of his subjects who did not sacrifice swine flesh, who did not profane the Sabbath and holy days of Israel, who did not worship idols; in short, who did not rebel against the righteous Yahweh of Israel and His Law, Statutes and Judgments, did so under penalty of death. (1 Maccabees 1:45-50) To show himself a man who did not waste his time on idle talk. Epiphanes desecrated the alter in Jerusalem by sacrificing a pig on it. (The New Compact Dictionary, p. 47)
It is a recorded fact of history that most leaders who acted in bizarre and irrational extremes did so because of an advanced case of syphilis. Naturally, it cannot be proven of Antiochus Epiphanes, but so crazy was this character that his subjects, who knew him more intimately than any historian today would ever hope to know him, called him not Epiphanes, meaning “the illustrious one,” but Epimanes, “the madman.” (Bible Dictionary, James Hastings, p, 38)
It was a pun on his title to reveal his true character. Something like calling a mean vindictive man the horrible judge rather than the honorable judge. Of this obscene character, Smith wrote:
“He was the first type of antichrist (or opposer of the Messiah of Israel, His Way, and Laws) because of his want for respect of Yahweh, religion and the disregard of every higher feeling amongst men.”
A reading of the books of Maccabees and the appropriate actions dealing with the Antiochus family from Josephus’s writings reveals the rest of them as a lying, violent, war-mongering family who showed benevolence only when it aided their cause.
The preceding was a very brief synopsis of the history of the city and the family who lent its name to the place where Christianity had its cradle. Now, consider the name Antioch itself: The New Companies bible Dictionary, p. 47, states that Antioch means “to withstand or be in opposition to.” But that is obviously an incomplete meaning. That applies only to the “Anti” part of the name. What about the “och” part in Antioch? Och comes form the Greek root word eko which means to have and that Hocus (anti-hocus) means to hold, possess or support. Adding this to what is already known about the Anti and the meaning of Antioch becomes clear; to withstand or be in opposition to having or possessing. Some claim that Anti really means in place of. If that be the case, it still does not change the meaning, because in place of having, means not having. Nevertheless, the meaning of Antioch is a direct contradiction of what the Messiah said of His mission. “I have come that you might have life and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10)
The term Christian thus had its cradle in a city whose name is associated with opposition to the Lord and His Law, want of respect for higher feelings, desecration of what was deemed holy and sacred, blatant Canaanite wrath and outright madness. And a point for Monarchists and royalists to remember; it was in Antioch (the suburb of Riblah) that the unsuccessful attempt was made by Nebuchadnezzar to destroy the royal house of David. The Encyclopedia Britannica (11th edition) makes the following observation on p. 460:
“The term Christian is a rather late Christian neologism.”
The popular meaning for a neologism, of course, is a new word. It is also interesting to know that Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary, p. 770 also defines a neologism as “a meaningless word coined by a psychotic.”
Now, let’s consider Christianity itself; in other words, the bedrock upon which the myriad of contradicting teachings and dogmas of the Christian religion is founded. According to Christian apologists, Christianity, from its inception was not based on the Israelite Law-founded teachings of the Messiah. It was thus not a continuation of “THE WAY.” It was, from its foundation, a new universal religion based upon a synthesis of all ethnic religions.
Bear in mind that the evidence does not come from the enemies of Christianity, but from its apologists and protagonists. Christianity was (is) not Messianic in essence. From Hasting’s Dictionary of the Bible, under the category “Christianity,” states:
“We therefore hold that whatever Christianity is, it is not what certain modern writers describe as ‘the religion of Jesus,’ but something very different; and that is, it is not to be confounded with churchly dogmas and institutions, it is just as little to be identified with an ethical theism based on the beauty of Christ’s character and the pure precepts of His Sermon on the Mount. The men who were first called Christians (Acts 11:25) had never seen Jesus or listened to His teachings, and the Gospel that laid its grasp upon them and won for them this distinctive name was neither a bare repetition of the Master’s teaching nor a mere exhibition of His perfect life. On the contrary, it was such a gospel as found in the epistles of St. Paul.”
Christianity was (is) not Israelitish in orientation and creation. From the same source, it is quoted,
“As a religion appearing in history, Christianity had its historical relations and its historical roots. It was related to all the old ethnic faiths and to every religious experience of vision and longing, of striving and despair, that the soul of man had ever known. The modern study of Comparative Religion is enabling us to realize this as it has never been realized before; but the New Testament makes the general truth perfectly plain.”
Further in the same section is this description:
“Christianity was not a mere spiritualized Judaism, but a new and universal religion recognizing no distinction between Jews and Greek, circumcision and uncircumcision, and seeing in Christ Himself the all in all.”
Again, let it be stated that the division of Christianity is not a result of unified religion that has suffered form the splitting off of various factions who followed “false teachings” as we have been led to believe. Rather, it is a smoldering pit of confusion (Babylon) because Christianity was designed to be all things to all men as long as they believe in a Christ. As a result of this indefinite definition, Christianity today is exactly what its authors envisioned it to be; unified disunity, lawful lawlessness, the grossest contradiction of terms. It is by this same ‘double think’ logic that the concept of a ‘one world nation’ with a legion of different conflicting nationalities, languages, cultures, and customs is possible; provided, of course, that everyone believes in ‘Peace.’ It is hell on the mind’s ability to concentrate and understand it, but that is just what ‘getting religion’ or being ‘enlightened’ is all about. The person is encouraged to stop thinking (park your brain at the church house door, and pick it up on the way out). The person is admonished to accept everything by faith. The populous is taught that way. If one has sufficient faith, one does not need to be burdened with the responsibility of reason. Why then are people given the ability to reason if it is not meant to be used?
For someone who can still use reason, the difference between THE WAY and Christianity can easily be summarized. THE WAY is a system based on Yahweh’s (Israelite) Law, by which the Kingdom of god can be established while Babylon is still very much in charge. Christianity, on the other hand, is a religious order concerned with abstract esoteric knowledge. That it is a religious order can be seen most clearly in the way that it divides its adherents into clergy and laity which, incidently, is in direct conflict with the Messiah’s commandment. The difference between Christianity as a religious order and THE WAY as a community is made clear in the following excerpt taken from “The Church Against Itself,” p. 134, by Rosemary Reuter, a noted Catholic scholar who was, at the time of publication of her book, a lecturer at George Washington and Howard Universities. ‘The first concept of church office was borrowed, not surprisingly, from the Jewish synagogue. The Sanhedrin, the council of elders which ruled very Jewish community, provided first the model for church office. This pattern was established first in Jerusalem, where, by Paul’s time, it had succeeded in replacing the original community of Jesus’s followers and substitution a presbyterian structure modeled on the Jerusalem Sanhedrin.” (The Hoax of 20 Centuries, by Van der Merwe)
From this short narrative by Dirk Van der Merwe, the reader may now be acquainted with a somewhat different Antioch than reveled by today’s clergy. Yes, Christianity had its beginning in Antioch and this was the location where, members of a religious sect received the name Christian, but this WAS NOT the religion of Jesus, and the people implicated WERE NOT the followers of Jesus’ teachings. From “The Rise of Christianity,” by W.H.C. Frend, the following is quoted:
“Peter, as the first witness of the risen Lord was at first spokesman and leader but sometime in the 40s A.D. James emerged as undisputed ruler of the church. How and why are not known. He (James) is represented in later tradition as holy man, as NAZARITE...” (The rise of Christianity, by W.H.C. Frend, Fortress Press, Philadelphia, p. 88)
“By 40 A.D., (Christianity) was established as a movement throughout Palestine. Beyond its borders a second important center was developing in Antioch. They the (Christians) were not known as “NAZRENES’ AS THEY WERE IN PALESTINE, but as ‘men of Christ’ (Christianoi).” (The Rise of Christianity, by W.H.C. Frend, Fortress Press, Philadelphia, p. 88)
Jesus’ followers were not known as “Christians” and their religion was not “Christianity.” They were known as “NAZRENES” and their religion was THE WAY.

9). Paul stated in Romans 10:8‑10:
“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
This is simply not a true statement because even the evil spirits and devils confess Yahshua and believe that He exists; yet they are not saved.
In Matthew 8:28‑29 we are told about the devils confessing Yahshua and by that confession shows that they believe that He was the son of Yahweh:
“And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him TWO POSSESSED WITH DEVILS, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. And, BEHOLD, THEY CRIED OUT, SAYING, What have we to do with thee, JESUS, THOU SON OF GOD? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?”
In Luke 8:27‑28 we are told about other devils which confessed Yahshua as the son of God:
“And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, WHAT HAVE I TO DO WITH THEE, JESUS, THOU SON OF GOD MOST HIGH? I beseech thee, torment me not.”
Now it is true the man was saying these things, but it is obvious that he did so under the direction of the devils that he had.
In Acts 19:15 we find Paul counterdicting himself when he related the story about the man who had an evil spirit:
“And THE EVIL SPIRIT ANSWERED AND SAID, JESUS I KNOW, AND PAUL I KNOW; but who are ye?”

10). Paul relates in 1 Corinthians 10:23:
James tells us in James 2:9‑10: “But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and YET OFFEND IN ONE POINT, HE IS GUILTY OF ALL.”
“All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.”
This is clearly not true because all things were not lawful for Paul, for Yahweh’s Laws had not been done away with in his time, neither are they done away with in our day.
Matthew 5:18: “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”
Luke 16:17: “And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.”
Here we have from the Masters own lips that the Law was not done away with by Him, nor will it ever be done away with as long as there is a heaven and earth.

The Biblical story of Adam and Eve has been available in the English language since the middle of the sixteenth century and although there have been individuals who have rejected it on the basis of being contrary to logic and reason, orthodoxy has simply dismissed their protestantions and consigned their arguments to the garbage heap of heresy. However, with the passage of time, more and more people are beginning to look for reasons which would account for the incredible guilt complex which afflicts the Western world and are finding this in religion and the doctrine of “original sin.”
If all men everywhere are u nder the oncdemnation of original sin as is stated by Paul (1 Corinthians 15:12) and if all men are held accountable for the sins of Adam and dependent on a selective redemption from above (Romans 11:5), it is small wonder that people simply give up in despair and become totally disinterestd in trying to achieve the genetic potential with which they were endowed by their parents. However, “original sin” is a church fallacy that does not exist, as even a superficial look into the subject will reveal and is one of the veils of blindness which, at the end of the age, will be removed from Yahweh’s people.
“But thou, O Daniel, SHUT UP THE WORDS, AND SEAL THE BOOK, EVEN TO THE TIME OF THE END...And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: FOR THE WORDS ARE CLOSED UP AND SEALED TILL THE TIME OF THE END.” (Daniel 12:4-9)
11). Paul’s statement in Romans 5:12 and in 1 Corinthians 15:22 need to be examined as Biblical definitions concerning the subject of “sin.”
Romans 5:12: “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.”
1 Corinthians 15:22: “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.”
In both these pertinent passages, it is stated that ALL sin and ALL die because of one man: Adam. This being so and as “sin” is primary to death, attention is focused on this subject which according to 1 John 3:4 is explained as a transgression of the Law. Paul however, had a different definition which is most difficult to apply to Adam for he contended that “...whatsoever is not of faith is sin.” (Romans 14:23)
While Abel, Adam’s son’s name, appears at the head of the list in the so-called “Hall of Faith” (Hebrews 11:4), that of Adam is entirely missing which makes it doubtful that Paul’s definition of “sin” could apply to him. According then to Paul; if “faith” is the yardstick against which violation is measured, Adam could “not sin” and Paul’s whole argument falls to the ground.
The universality of “sin” and its consequent “death” miss the mark when one considers the Biblical narrative. The “living of the earth” (Genesis 1:24) and the “man” male and femail of Genesis 1:26-27, received no command nor any Law from Yahweh other than to “Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it.” (Genesis 1:28) This was long before the “formation of THE Adam from the dust of the ground (Genesis 2:7) which makes it utterly ridiculous for them to be held resonsible for the behavior of THE Adam in the “garden.”
The existence of these other people is admitted in Cain’s contention that after him these other people is admitted in Cain’s contention that after his expulsion from the Adamic earth, “...every one that findeth me shall slay me.” (Genesis 4:14) This being so, how could ALL sin (Romans 3:23) and how could the sentence of death be passed on those races who had had nothing to do with THE Adam. Those who lived before THE Adam’s time had died “without” any sentence being passed on them, thus indicating that death was part and parcel of the law of nature which, in the fulness of time, takes it toll.
Passing on to THE Adam whom the theologians teach was the first human being created and who, being the so-called “head of the human family” introduced the original sin, one finds the Genesis story, which undoubtedly originated in Babylon, full of derogatory implications concerning the character of the Creator which logic and reason simply cannot accept The Genesis account of Creation claims that everything that was created was “good,” and one has no reason to doubt that the formation of THE Adam was nothing less than perfect too.
He was then placed in the “garden” an environment of perfection, and, in place of the command given to the earlier creation in which they were told to “be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it,” Adam’s responsibility was limited to “dressing the garden and keeping.” It was at this pont that Adam was endowed with “free will;” i.e., he was given the freedom to choose and make decisions for himself which, as must be obvious, introduces the subject of accountability into the Genesis story. Being a “free agent,” Adam had to take on the responsibility and the accountability of that status and, if found guilty of any crime, as it were, he could justifiable be sentenced to whatever penalty was prescribed for the crime.
These facts introduce a note which places all the responsiblilty of what Adam was supposed to have done on his shoulders whereas, if one looks at the whole situation, the responsibility for what Adam did or did not do, must lie in some other directon. An illustration to support this contention is to be found in the case of a watchmaker who makes a chronometer with all the parts necessary for that watch to operate perfectly and he alone is responsible for the way in which it works.
All will surely agree that it would be the height of stupidity to blame the “watch” if it did not operate correctly; the responsiblity for the malfunction must surely lie with the watchmaker! Now, Adam did not ask to be formed, and there is certainly no evidence to suggest that he had anything to do with the faculties, inclinations and desires with which he had been endowed. Everything that was in Adam was put there by He Who formed him. How then could he be held accountable for doing what he did, particularly as the means for his malfunction had, according to the Genesis account, been deliberately put there by the Creator?
12). Paul said in Ephesians 5:25: “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.”
This is simply a false statement. Yahshua did not come for the church, He came to Redeem His Israel people as He said:
Matthew 15:24: “But he answered and said, I AM NOT SENT BUT UNTO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.”
By this we can clearly see that Christ DID NOT COME FOR THE CHURCH. He came only to Redeem the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel.
Luke 1:68: “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for HE HATH VISITED AND REDEEMED HIS PEOPLE.”
Luke 24:21: “But WE TRUSTED THAT it had been HE which SHOULD HAVE REDEEMED ISRAEL: and beside all this.”
We are told in Isaiah many times that Yahweh is our Redeemer and Savior:
Isaiah 41:14: “Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I WILL HELP THEE, saith the LORD, and THY REDEEMER, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.”
Isaiah 44:24: “Thus saith the LORD, THY REDEEMER, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself.”
Isaiah 48:17: “Thus saith the LORD, THY REDEEMER, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.”
Isa 49:26: “And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I THE LORD AM THY SAVIOUR AND THY REDEEMER, THE MIGHTY ONE OF JACOB.”
KJV
Isaiah 54:5: “FOR THY MAKER IS THINE HUSBAND; the LORD of hosts is his name; AND THY REDEEMER THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.”
Isaiah 54:8: “In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, SAITH THE LORD THY REDEEMER.”
Isaiah 60:16: “Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I THE LORD AM THY SAVIOUR AND THY REDEEMER, THE MIGHTY ONE OF JACOB.”
Christ is OUR Saviour, the True Israelites, and not the saviour of all the other races and peoples on the earth. For Hosea, Peter and John testified of this many times:
Hosea 13:4: “Yet I AM THE LORD THY GOD from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for THERE IS NO SAVIOUR BESIDE ME.”
Luke 1:47: “And my spirit hath rejoiced in God MY SAVIOUR.”
Luke 2:11: “For unto you is born this day in the city of David A SAVIOUR, which is Christ the Lord.”
John 4:42: “And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, THE SAVIOUR...”
2 Peter 1:1: “Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST.”
2 Peter 1:11: “For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and SAVIOUR Jesus Christ.”
2 Peter 2:20: “For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and SAVIOUR Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.”
2 Peter 3:2: “That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and SAVIOUR.”
2 Peter 3:18: “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and SAVIOUR Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.”
1 John 4:14: “And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the SAVIOUR...”
Jude 1:25: “TO THE ONLY WISE GOD OUR SAVIOUR, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”
13). In Romans 4:7 Paul says: “Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.”
Romans 7:12: “Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.”
Romans 15:19: “Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.”
(5) The Paul Paradox
Those who study the New Testament may well note that popular ‘red‑letter’ editions of the text, with Christ's words thus highlighted, contain virtually no such rubrics thruout the Epistles of Paul. With the sole exception of the eucharistic formula at I‑Corinthians 11:24‑25, he does not quote any sayings of the historical Yeashúa/Jesus, either as found in the written Gospels or from a contemporaneous oral tradition.
Indeed furthermore, he never even once alludes to the panorama of the Savior's biography, from the Nativity up to the Passion, which fills the pages of the first four books of the New Testament. This is, on the face of it, a most puzzling omission. (¹although, astonishingly, at Acts 13:24‑25 he does quote John the Baptist!; Acts 20:35, on the other hand, is actually a citation from Thucidides'
Peloponnesian War, while Ac 26:14 is in fact a line from Euripides' Bacchae!)
Beyond this remarkable lack of historical concern, however, there is an even more enigmatic aspect of Paul's record in the New Testament. For an objective, philosophical reading of the documents would seem to reveal a number of logical contradictions, both within his biography and also between his theology and that of the Evangelists. It must be emphasized that these anomalies are conceptual rather than empirical in nature.
For although they of course occur in interwoven historical, theological and normative contexts within the NT, they nevertheless present themselves as a priori problems of analytical consistency between various texts; regardless of the truth or falsity of any factual claims being made or presumed by those texts. Furthermore, these discrepancies must be similarly distinguished from logically posterior issues concerning the ancient composition, editing, redactions or dating of the New Testament writings, all of which are factual/historical topics.
In sum, and stated more formally: the Pauline antinomies are logical contradictions and therefore cannot in principle be resolved by means of either historical investigation or textual criticism, both of which are empirical methodologies.
Neither is this the place to provide a retrospective survey of the many past commentaries on these complex questions. I shall only append a series of quotations from a number of eminent figures; starting with Peter Abelard (citing Jerome, Augustine and Origen), Thomas Aquinas, John Duns Scotus, Teresa of Avila, Blaise Pascal, and John Locke, who are in general agreement that Paul's doctrines appear to be seriously at odds with the Gospel message. These excerpts suffice to show that what might be called ‘the Paul paradox’ has been recognized by a remarkably wide spectrum of prominent individuals across the centuries.
