The 13th Apostle?
Saul/Paul was NOT one of the original 12 Apostles, and was not the replacement for Judas. So how can he claim to be an "apostle"?
Matthias was chosen by the remaining 11 Apostles as the replacement for Judas, as recorded in the book of Acts.
Acts 1:26: "And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles."
The remaining 11 Apostles decided that the criteria for the replacement for Judas was a person who accompanied them and the Messiah during his ministry from the baptism of John until the day he ascended into Heaven, and who witnessed the Messiah after he resurrected.
Acts 1:21-22: "Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us, beginning from John’s baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
Saul of Tarsus did not meet these criteria. He did accompany the disciples during the entire course of the ministry of the Messiah. Saul was not taught the gospel by the Messiah.
The Gospels and Book of Revelation makes clear that there are only 12 apostles for all time:
Matthew 19:28 - "Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
Revelation 21:14 - "And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb."
Yet Saul/Paul over and over in his epistles claims to be an "apostle."
The reader should stop and really think about this for just a second. If the vast majority of self-professed "Christians" can be deceived on a lie as simple and easy to spot as the fact that Pharisee Saul was NOT one of the true 12 apostles, then WHAT ELSE are they being deceived about, in regards to religious doctrine or anything else? It's really frightening how easy Satan can deceive people. And I include myself in that category, as I was once deceived on Paul. It truly is a deeply powerful "spiritual" blindness and power that we are dealing with. It takes the blessing of the Most High to remove this powerful spiritual blindness from a person, and allow them to see the truth.

Amen brother and its scary how I thought Paul's message was true. He also preached to the heathen nations and yeshua only told his disciples to preach to lost sheep of isreal. Yeshua came for isreal and no one else.
ReplyDeleteThat's correct. Thanks for your comment. The Messiah specifically said he came only for the "lost sheep of Israel", and commanded his followers to take his message only to the Israelites.
DeleteThe Messiah speaking in Matthew 15:24...."I came only for the lost sheep of the House of Israel".
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." (KJV)
The false teacher and phony "apostle" and Satanic deceiver, Pharisee Saul of Tarsus, initiated and perpetuated the false teaching of taking the message to non-Israelites and attempting to convert them.
And for those who don't know...the true descendants of the Israelites are the Germanic, Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Scandinavian, and kindred peoples of European descent. The so-called "jews" are NOT racial/biological descendants of the Israelites. They are imposters, who are actually descended from Esua and literal biological children of Satan (as the Messiah himself said in John 8:44). Most "jews" are also descended from a non-Israelite people called the "Khazars" who converted to Judaism around 800 A.D.
I cover these subjects in depth on some of my other websites, here:
- Racial origin of the "Jews"; not Israelites, but descendants of Khazars, Edomites, Canaanites, Cain, and ultimately Satan
