<br />
The physical description of Saul/Paul, especially that of his "hooked" nose, is further confirmation of Paul's Edomite/Canaanite ancestry. Saul claims to have been an Israelite of the tribe of Benjamin. But he was a mongrel, who was also descended from the Edomites (Esau) and Canaanites -- as evidenced not only by his hooked nose, but also his admission (in <a href="https://biblehub.com/romans/16-11.htm">Romans 16:11</a>) that he is a "kinsman" of the Herodians (who are known and admitted to be non-Israelite descendants of the Edomites).<br />
<br />
This source for the physical description of Saul is the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acts_of_Paul_and_Thecla">Acts of Paul and Thecla</a>, one of the New Testament apocryphal writings. In this book, it is recorded that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onesiphorus">Onesiphorus</a> (a friend of Saul/Paul who is mentioned in 2 Timothy 1:18 and 2 Timothy 4:19) describes the physical appearance of Saul/Paul as <i><b>"a man small of stature, with a bald head and crooked legs, in a good state of body, with eyebrows meeting and nose somewhat hooked, full of friendliness; for now he appeared like a man, and now he had the face of an angel."</b></i></div>

Note, again, how this description is meant to be a <i>positive</i>, and that it is given by one of Saul/Paul's friends. But even it admits these undesirable physical traits -- giving even more weight to the accuracy of the description. </div>

It’s from the only physical description of Paul, in an early Christian document, the <em style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Acts of Paul</em>. (Its author, a second-century church leader, was fired over the book because he attributed to Paul some unorthodox teachings such as sexual abstinence in marriage.)<br />
A more literal translation of the description of Paul in Greek reads, <b>“A man of middling size, and his hair was scanty, and his legs were a little crooked, and his knees were far apart; he had large eyes, and his eyebrows met, and his nose was somewhat long.”</b> </blockquote>
<blockquote style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: "Chronicle SSm A", "Chronicle SSm B", serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This may be little more than imaginative writing from a century after Paul died, but it does not clash with the way Paul’s critics described him: “His letters are weighty and forceful, but in person he is unimpressive” (2 Cor. 10:10).<br />

One day he had a ‘revelation’. He changed his name from Saul to Paul, and straightway preached his revelations about the ‘Christ’ in the synagogues. Paul continued to have new ‘revelations’ that spoke ‘of’ and ‘for’ a Christ, but he was glaringly silent about the actual life of Yahoshua (Jesus) and his teachings. In Paul’s epistles we find him using the words ‘Christ, Son of God, grace, redemption, resurrection, etc.’, but we learn little or nothing about Yahoshua and his actual teachings. They’re virtually absent from Paul’s epistles. What we learn about are Paul’s revelations. Roughly 50% of the New Testament (13 epistles) is from Saul, a man who neither knew Yahoshua in the flesh, nor was instructed by the apostles. Rather, he taught by unsubstantiated revelation, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Ezekiel 13:2-9</strong>.<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul considered himself the ‘apostle’ to the Gentiles, primarily because his doctrine (called ‘that way’, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 19:9, 23</strong>) was rejected by Jewish Christians and the Asian churches alike; and he was forced to seek converts who knew nothing of Yahudim (Jewish) customs and the Law. Paul’s doctrine was adverse to the teachings of Yahoshua; and he was often in conflict with James, Peter, and John; the real apostles. And by the way, Paul was not an apostle.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul spent an inordinate amount of time defending himself and his teachings from accusations of guile, lies, and covetousness. None of the real apostles were so accused. Paul’s core philosophy of justification by faith and abolition of Torah Law stands in opposition to Yahoshua’s statements in the gospels. Paul thought nothing of lying or practicing pagan customs if it meant gaining a new convert to his own brand of salvation, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Romans 3:7, I Corinthians 10:14-21, 9:19-22</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul’s words speak for themselves. His use of personal pronouns in his epistles (I, me, my, mine) is three times that of any other writer. Paul urged his followers to follow <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">him</em>. He preached by revelation. Paul preached his doctrine in the ‘name’ of Christ, but his teachings were not in alignment with Yahoshua’s teachings, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">John 5:43</strong>.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul claimed to be an apostle by divine intercession, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Galatians 1:1, 12</strong>. He claims to be ordained an apostle, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">I Timothy 2:7, 2 Timothy 1:11.</strong> Ask yourself: By whom? All the real apostles are documented in scripture. There is no support for Paul’s claim other than <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">his own</em> word in the epistles that <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">he</em> wrote. Of the 22 times he is called an apostle, only two come from someone other than himself. That ‘someone’ was Luke, Paul’s friend, traveling companion, and biographer, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 14:4, 14</strong>. The real apostles did not recognize Paul’s apostleship and referred to him as ‘brother’. The real apostles met these qualifications: They were twelve in number, and all were witness to Yahoshua’s life, teachings, and resurrection; from the beginning to the end, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 1:21-22</strong>. Paul meets none of these qualifications. ZERO. Yahoshua verified the number twelve, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Matthew 19:28</strong>, and verified it again, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Revelation 21:14</strong>. There are no scriptural references for thirteen apostles. Matthias replaced Judas, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 1:26</strong>. If the Pharisee Saul/Paul is truly an apostle as many wish to believe, that means one of the twelve is not an apostle. Who got demoted?</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul claims in his epistles that he’s an apostle by the will of God. However, he never knew Yahoshua in the flesh, and by his own admission, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Galatians 1:11-20</strong>, he spent little time with the real apostles. ‘Pauline doctrine’ is the result of unsupported revelation. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Paul teaches Pauline doctrine</em>, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">John 5:31, 43</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
If you’re familiar with Biblical Numerics, you’ll know that the number 12 represents governmental perfection. It is the product of 3 x 4 (3 is divine perfection and 4 is earthly creation). There are twelve tribes of Israel and twelve apostles. If Paul was indeed an apostle as he claimed, their number would be thirteen.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Every occurrence of the number <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">thirteen</em>, and likewise of <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">every multiple</em> of it, stamps that with which it stands in connection with <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">rebellion, apostasy, defection, corruption, disintegration, revolution,</em> or some kindred idea. –E.W. Bullinger.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The number thirteen also includes famine. <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Amos 8:11</strong> tells us of the famine for the word of Yahweh in the last days. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Could a 13th ‘apostle’ be the reason for this famine? </em>Paul wrote 13 epistles in the New Testament. Saul’s name subtly changes to ‘Paul’ in <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts Chapter ‘13’, verse 9</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Qualification to be one of the twelve apostles is set forth in <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 1:21-22</strong>. Paul clearly does not qualify. The idea of adding a 13th apostle is unacceptable because of <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Revelation 21:14</strong>. In order to overcome this obstacle, it’s been proposed that Matthias was not a divine apostolic selection, based on the casting of lots. However, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 1:24-25</strong> shows that the apostles prayed for Yahoshua’s assistance in the matter. Also, nowhere do the Scriptures state that Matthias was removed from this number to make room for Paul, which would have been a noteworthy event, as in the case of Judas. That fact is, Paul does not qualify to be an apostle, was not chosen as an apostle, and <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">is not</em> an apostle.</div>

Nowhere does Yahoshua mention, or even hint, that He would give ‘new’ revelations to someone after His resurrection. One has to question why Yahoshua would spend 3 ½ years in the flesh teaching the twelve <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">chosen</em> apostles that ‘till heaven and earth pass, not one jot or tittle will pass from the law’, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Matthew 5:18</strong>; and then, after His resurrection, give <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">new</span>revelations to a Pharisee (Saul/Paul) that make the Law void by His resurrection. Furthermore, ask yourself why would Yahoshua bypass the apostles with this ‘new’ revelation; choosing instead to reveal it to a Pharisee, the sect He called ‘vipers’, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Matthew 12:34</strong>, and sons of the devil, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">John 8:44</strong>?</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
We have three different accounts of Paul’s unsupported claim of conversion. Two of them are similar, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 9:1-18, 22:1-15 </strong>(except the part about him being sent to the Gentiles, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">22:21</strong>), but not the third account, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 26:10-19</strong>. In the first two stories, Paul specifically asked the Lord what he should do and the Lord told him to go to Damascus where he would be told all things. In the third story, however, Paul received full revelation on the spot. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Which one is it Paul? </em>Paul is caught in a <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">lie</em> (there will be more).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
In <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 22:17-21</strong>, Paul ‘claims’ Yahoshua told him to “get out of Jerusalem, for they (the Jews) will not receive your testimony concerning Me (Yahweh)”. That indeed is an odd statement, as the Yahudim (Jews) were in fact receiving testimony from the real apostles.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
In addition, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 9:22-25</strong> states that Paul’s persecutors in Damascus were Jews. Paul contradicts this by naming the governor, under Aretus the king, as (the persecutor) desirous to apprehend him, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">II Corinthians 11:32-33</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
In <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Galatians 1:16-17</strong> Paul tells us that after his revelation he conferred not with flesh and blood, nor went up to Jerusalem to the apostles, but instead went to Arabia (for an unspecified amount of time) and then back to Damascus (coincidentally, these happen to be Essene [sect] locations). Three years later he spent fifteen days with Peter in Jerusalem, and then moved on to Syria and Cilicia (Tarsus and Antioch) for fourteen years.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
However, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 9:20</strong> contradicts this. It says that after his revelation, Paul was certain days with the disciples in Damascus, and preached straightway in Damascus. Then Barnabas took him to the apostles in Jerusalem (Paul assayed to join himself to the <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">disciples</em>; as yet making no claim of apostleship). Then Paul was sent forth to Tarsus (‘Then had the churches rest…’<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 9:31</strong>, <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">after</span> Paul was sent away</em>.)</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
There exists a three-year discrepancy between Paul’s conversion and his trip to Jerusalem, and he admits to having little or no tutoring by the apostles (<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Galatians</strong> is the earlier of the two accounts). Interestingly enough, there’s a document in the Dead Sea Scrolls, Q40266, called ‘The Damascus Document’, written around the time of Saul/Paul’s trip to Arabia (wherein existed the Essene site of Qumran). It’s an excommunication document condemning an unidentified man; referred to as the ‘Lying Adversary, the Lying Spouter, the Tongue, the Scoffer’ who rejected the law in the midst of the whole congregation.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul’s doctrine is all about revelation. He uses the word ‘mystery’ (Greek musthrion) seventeen times in his epistles. Outside of <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">The Book Of</strong> <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Revelation</strong>, the word ‘mystery’ is used only one other time in the New Testament, and not at all in the Hebrew of the Old Testament, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Mark 4:11</strong>. Through <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">revelation </em>Paul reveals to us the mysteries of God, Yahoshua, wisdom, and ‘the faith’, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Romans 16:25, Ephesians 3:3-4, 9, 6:19, Colossians 1:26, 2:2, I Timothy 3:9</strong>. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Uh…I believe they’re found in the Tanakh (Old Testament).</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul instructs his followers in all manner of things: Law, circumcision, grace, faith, salvation by faith, the Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts, the armor of God, relationships, humility, worship, church qualifications etc. His ‘revelations’ must have indeed been inspired, because they certainly are a ‘mystery’. Yahoshua (Jesus) is nowhere to be found in most of Paul’s writings other than in phrases such as: <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">Servant</span> of Jesus Christ…<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">through</span> Jesus Christ…<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">in</span> Jesus Christ…<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">by</span> Jesus Christ…Jesus Christ our Lord…<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">by</span> the revelation of Jesus Christ…and so on. Paul uses these phrases to imply his ‘revelations’ have authority from Yahweh through Yahoshua, yet his epistles provide no references to Yahoshua’s actual teachings in the gospels. Instead, Paul runs afoul of the gospels. He particularly preaches a reoccurring theme of submitting to earthly authority, i.e. governmental authority, on the basis it shows us approved of God (Yahoshua did not say to do this, so why does Paul? Ask yourself: Why does Paul continually stress submission to earthly authority?).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul more or less makes up his doctrine as he goes, admitting he preaches by ‘revelation’, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">II Corinthians 12:1, Galatians 1:11-12.</strong> Regardless of the good things he does say, the problem lies in the many ‘not so good’ revelations he promotes in the name of Yahoshua. We come to Yahweh by Yahoshua, not by Paul, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">John 14:6</strong>. Yahoshua tells us, “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them”, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Matthew 7:16, 20</strong>. Paul’s fruit is a legacy of dissention. (Posibly the cause of the current 30,000 plus differnent denominational splits from the original “Church”.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul is a Pharisee by his own admission, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 23:6, 26:5, Philippians 3:5</strong>. He was taught by Gamaliel, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 22:3</strong>. (Gamaliel was the grandson of Hillel, a founding father of the Pharisees, who rejected the Torah in favor of the oral Talmud). Yahoshua warned of the Pharisees and their leaven (the Talmud), and referred to them as vipers, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Matthew 12:24, 34, Mark 8:15, Luke 12:1</strong>. (The Pharisees were scribes, Kenites, the sons of Cain). It’s also interesting to note that nowhere did Paul repent for his persecution of believers; rather, he boasted of being a Pharisee.)</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul was at odds with the real apostles. <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Galatians Chapters 1 & 2</strong> are bold examples of Paul’s (hidden) anti-Torah view that was in conflict with the teachings of Yahoshua and the apostles. Paul pooh-poohed the significance of the real apostles, but…(just in case the Galatians cared) he assured them his doctrine had the real apostles’ support.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul came to words with Peter once Peter found out what Paul was teaching, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Galatians 2:11</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul mocked James, Peter (Cephas), and John. He scolded Barnabas and rebuked Peter, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Galatians 2:9, 11-14</strong>. In true contradictory style, he portrayed Peter as a hypocrite to his Galatian audience, and then boasted of himself, displaying a worse behavior to the Corinthians, saying, “<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">I become all things to all men</em>, that I might by all means save some”, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">I Corinthians 9:19-22</strong>. Note that Paul declares <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">he</span> is the one who gains the more, and that <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">he</span></em> is the one who is saving some. Did Yahoshua become all things to all men?<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> I think not!</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul was under fire at the council in Jerusalem (he kept silent his anti-Torah viewpoint). James decreed that the Gentiles must abstain from four points of the law. This is mentioned twice in the same chapter, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 15:20, 29</strong>. Paul then wrote to the Galatian church and told them that they (the apostles) desired “only they would that we should remember the poor”, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Galatians 2:10</strong>. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">This is not what James said</em>, which is confirmed by <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 15:20, 29</strong>. Nowhere is there any mention of ‘the poor’ by James. Paul conveniently left out the four points of law in his letter to the Galatians. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Paul lied</em>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Hold on, it gets worse! In <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Galatians 1:20</strong>, before Paul’s statement in <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">2:10</strong>, he told the Galatians “Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not”. Paul is again caught lying, red handed<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">. Paul had the audacity to preface his lie with an oath of honesty…before God!</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Read what Yahoshua had to say about this type of oath (before God), <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Matthew 5:33-37</strong>. Read what James said too, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">James 5:12</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul was in conflict with Barnabas and John Mark (about guess what?), so they left him, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 15:37-39</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul knew his teachings would again come under fire, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 20:22-23, 29</strong>, and they did, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 21:21-25</strong>. He was required to purify himself and keep the Law, but the Asian Jews did not buy the deception, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 21: 27-28</strong>. Paul was arrested and he then appealed to Rome (not Yahoshua) for rescue. His (varied) relationship with the apostles ended at this juncture, but the damage was done.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
John gave warning about a doctrine that is not of Yahoshua, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">II John 1:10-11</strong>. He mentions ‘those that went out from us (from the apostles) but were not of us; for if they were, they would have continued with us, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">I John 2:18-19</strong>. Coincidentally, Paul dropped all contact with the real apostles after his chastisement in Jerusalem, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 21:18-26</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Yahoshua warned that He came in His Father’s name, yet He was not received. If another shall come in his own name (like Paul), <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">he</em> will be received, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">John 5:43</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul ran into trouble with the (Asian) church of Ephesus and they spoke evil of his teachings (that way), <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 19:8-9, 23</strong>. He complained that ALL they which are in Asia be turned away from ‘<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">me’</em>, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">II Timothy 1:15</strong>. Paul doesn’t say they turned away from Yahoshua; he says they turned away from ‘<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">me’</em>. Whatever their shortcomings, we know from the <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Book of Revelation</strong> that the seven ekklesia in Asia were thriving, and Yahoshua specifically tells John to write to the angels of the seven <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Asian</em> churches. Yahoshua commended the church of Ephesus for trying <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">false</em> <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">apostles</em> and finding them to be liars, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Revelation 2:2</strong>. The real apostles were not were not rejected in Asia.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Here’s the big picture: Other than the real twelve apostles, Paul is the only other person <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">on record</span> claiming to be an apostle. We have <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">a record</span> of Paul stating this to the <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Asian</em> church of Ephesus, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Ephesians 1:1</strong>. The Ephesian church is the <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">only</em> church of the seven that is <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">recorded</span> as trying false apostles “and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars”, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Revelation 2:2</strong>. The Ephesian church recognized Paul for what he was and told him to take a hike.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul visited the other six Asian churches, as <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 19:10,</strong> <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">II Timothy 1:15</strong> indicate. In <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Revelation 2:9, 3:9,</strong> we see that Yahoshua commends the two churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia for recognizing false Jews. This likely refers to Paul. But the clincher is Paul’s recorded claim of apostleship, made <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">specifically</em> to the Ephesian church, and Yahoshua’s <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">specifically</em> praising the Ephesians for trying false apostles. Add this up and you get you-know-who. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Who else fits the bill?</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">___________</em>_____________________________________________________________</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Then there’s the matter of Yahweh’s Law. Paul went to great lengths to make void the law. Yahoshua and the apostles said otherwise. Yahoshua taught obedience to Yahweh’s Law. Paul taught (in Christ’s name) that the Law passed away. As you can see, Paul spoke against the teaching of Yahoshua. Here are Paul’s teachings of the Law.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul said all the Law was fulfilled in one word (a Pharisaic teaching, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Romans 13:8-9, Galatians 5:14</strong>. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Yahoshua said otherwise</em>, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Matthew 22:27-40, Mark 29-31</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul declared ALL things lawful, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">I Corinthians 6:12-14, Colossians 2:16</strong>. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Yahoshua said otherwise</em>, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Matthew 5:18, Luke 16:17, John 14:15</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul declared nothing unclean, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Romans 14:14, I Timothy 4:1-5</strong>. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Yahoshua and James said otherwise</em>, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 15:28-29, Revelation 2:14.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul claimed Christ abolished the Law, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Romans 6:14, 7:4</strong>, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Ephesians 2:15-16</strong>. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Yahoshua said otherwise</em>, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Matthew 5:17-20, 19:17, 28:20, Luke 16:17</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul claimed no one was justified by the Law, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Romans 3:20, Galatians 3:11-12, 21</strong>. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">The scriptures say otherwise</em>, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">II Samuel 22:21, Ezekiel 14:14, 20, Job 27: 29:14, Luke 1:5-6, James 2:20-22</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul claimed the Law was ‘veiled’ (too hard to understand), <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">II Corinthians 3:12-16</strong>. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Moses said otherwise</em>, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Deuteronomy 30: 10-14</strong>. John tells us the law is not burdensome, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">I John 1:53</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul called Yahweh’s Law a ‘curse’, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Galatians 3:13. </strong>(<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Galatians Chapter 3 and</strong> <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Romans Chapter 3</strong> detail Paul’s attack on the Law). <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Yahoshua instructed us to keep the Law</em>, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Matthew 19:17</strong>. He came to fulfill the Law, not destroy it, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Matthew 5:17-18. </strong>The Law was a blessing, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Deuteronomy 7:11-13, 11:26-27, 30:19-20</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul referred to the Law as ‘the ministry of death’, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">II Corinthians 3:7</strong>. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Moses said otherwise</em>, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Deuteronomy 4:40, 5:29, 6:24-25, 30:15-20</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul declared he sinned because of the Law (this passage is really a piece of work), <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Romans 7:7-13</strong>. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">James told us that’s not so</em>, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">James 1:13-14</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul speaks against questions he considers foolish, and genealogies, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Titus 3:9</strong>. Since genealogies are immensely important to Adam’s seed and Satan’s seed in the old and renewed covenants, one must wonder why Paul tells Titus to avoid them.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul told slaves to be obedient to their masters, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Ephesians 6:5</strong>. He re-enslaved Onesimus, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Philemon 10-16</strong>. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">This is in direct conflict to the law</em>, which provides freedom from slavery, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Deuteronomy 23:15-16, Jeremiah 34:13-17</strong>. If Paul had been obedient to the Law, Onesimus would have been free. But, as we see from Paul’s action, he sent Onesimus back into bondage. Yahweh’s Law brings freedom; Paul’s freedom brings bondage.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul pretends to be humble before Philemon, stating that he has written him with his own hand, and that <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">if </em>Philemon has been wronged, he (Paul) will repay (the debt), <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Philemon 1:19-20.</strong> He then adds a cheap shot stating that Philemon “owes” him. In other words, Paul clearly states that he will not say the very backhanded comment he does indeed say. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Paul’s words stand on their head</em>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul claimed we should submit to governing authorities because they are established by God. If we do not submit, we will be evil (this passage is what’s evil). We’re suppose to give the authorities whatever they demand, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Romans 13:1-7, Titus 3:1</strong>. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">There is no scriptural basis for this statement</em> (unless it be obedience to Yahweh’s Law). But, as we have seen, Paul denied the law.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul claimed he taught from ‘divine revelation’ (not from scripture or instruction from the apostles), <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Galatians 1:11-12</strong>. In other words, Paul is telling us his revelations supercede scriptural authority. Think about it. Are you willing to accept this? The real questions are: How good is Paul’s word? Do his teachings align with scripture and the teachings of Yahoshua? You be the judge.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

Paul drew the church (ekklesia) to himself, not Yahoshua. Yahoshua spoke of this happening, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">John 21:15-23</strong>. In essence, another [person] would subvert Peter [his word] and he would be led astray [his word would fail] i.e. the church would be led astray. Yahoshua expressly told Peter to “follow thou <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">me</span>”. In contrast, John [his word], however, would not die [will tarry].</div>

Paul claimed to be the ‘apostle’ to the Gentiles, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Galatians 2:7</strong>. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Not so.

Paul <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">lied</em> to the Galatians. Paul went to the Gentiles because he was rejected by the Law abiding Jewish converts. The Gentiles didn’t keep the Law nor did they understand the Law. This made easy converts for Paul’s doctrine, which preached against the Law.</div>

Paul claimed to have laid the foundation of the church, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">I Corinthians 3:10</strong>. (The Roman Catholic Church?

(Greek is <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">ekklesia</em> which means ‘a calling out’. Yahoshua did not promote a physical church hierarchy.

Paul bragged about speaking in tongues, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">I Corinthians 14:18-19</strong>. Take note: <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Neither Yahoshua nor the real apostles spoke in tongues</em>. (Speaking in tongues is only mentioned in Paul’s epistles, and the book of Acts; written by Paul’s biographer Luke).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul dispenses Pharisaic teachings, Mithraism, and Kabbalahistic mysticism, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">I Corinthians 15:51, II Corinthians 12:2, Ephesians 3:2, 4, 6:19</strong>.

<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The real apostles never mentioned the word ‘Christian’. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch, under the tutelage of Paul and Barnabas, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 11:25-26</strong>. Christianity came from Paul’s teachings, not Yahoshua’s and the real apostle’s.</div>

Paul’s epistles had ‘things’ that Peter declared ‘hard to be understood’, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">II Peter 3:15-17</strong>. Peter is not supporting Paul in this passage. It’s anything but. He only agrees with the statement that the longsuffering of the Lord is salvation, in verse 15. In verses 16-17, he warns the reader to beware the error of the <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">wicked</span> (i.e. lawless, Greek aqesmos). See again Yahoshua’s prophecy for Peter, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">John 21:18</strong>. Even today, Peter’s word is spiritually hindered by Paul’s word.</div>

Paul said that when the law was still in force, faith had not yet come, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Galatians 3:23</strong>. However, he contradicts this in <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Romans 4:3, 22</strong>. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Which way is it?</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul defended a lie because it ‘glorifies God’ and he wondered why he was judged a sinner, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Romans 3:7</strong>. He was caught lying and tried to wriggle out of it with a song and dance. He doesn’t seem to grasp that a lie is a lie, and <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">never</em> does it glorify Yahweh. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Why does Paul keep insisting he’s not deceitful and does not lie</em>? <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Romans 9:1, II Corinthians 11:31, Galatians 1:20, Philippians 1:18, I Thessalonians 2:1-12, I Timothy 2:7</strong>. Why are the real apostles not accused of lying as Paul is? Ask yourself this: Would Yahoshua (Jesus) lie ‘for the glory of God’ as Paul did? <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">I think not!</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">lied</em> before the Sanhedrin, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 23:6-7</strong>. He said he was ‘called into question for the hope and resurrection of the dead’. This was strictly a divide and conquer ploy with no basis in reality. The truth of the matter is he was called into question on account of his anti-Torah teachings, found in <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 21:27-28</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

Furthermore, Paul seems to be unaware of Yahoshua’s word that the last will be first, and the first last, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Mark 9:34-35</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

(He tells us he ‘could’ boast, but ‘won’t’ because he is the least. He used a disclaimer to tell us he wouldn’t do what he does.) <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">James instructed against this</em>, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">James 4:16</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul’s boasting and declaration that he does not lie is one twisted piece of work, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">II Corinthians Chapters 11 and 12</strong>.

<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
In <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">II Corinthians Chapter 11</strong>, verse 2 Paul states <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">he</span></em> is the one who may present the Corinthians as chaste virgins to Christ. In verse 8 Paul declares <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">he</span></em> ‘robbed’ other churches to do service to the Corinthians (Greek is συλαω which <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">does indeed</strong> mean “to rob” or “despoil”). In verse 10 Paul states that no man shall stop him from boasting in Achaia (Greece). Note that he cleverly omits Asia and Judea, the locations where the real apostles preached (because they <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">would</em> stop him). In <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">verse 18</strong> Paul glories after the flesh. He then tells us how great he is (in Christ), <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">more so</span> than other ministers</em>, (verse 23). So humble is Paul, that <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">if</em> he needs to glorify himself (which he does), he will confine it to his infirmities (verse 30). Oddly enough, he then feels a need to assure his audience he does not <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">lie</span></em>(verse 31). <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Pay attention to Paul’s own words</em></strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">II Corinthians 12:5-7</strong>, Paul continues in the next chapter by stating that although he would desire glory, he will not glorify himself, but in his infirmities. He then spews forth self-deprecatory verbiage to soften his boast. According to humble brother Paul, he was given a thorn in his flesh, <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">lest he should be <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">exalted above measure</span> through the abundance of his <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">revelations</span></em>. Now think about that statement for a minute. A man can’t get any more exalted than ‘above measure’. It’s beyond measurable. It doesn’t get any higher than that. If it weren’t for the thorn he was given, our man Paul’s ‘revelations’ would be cause for the ultimate right to brag.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">What a great guy! Isn’t it comforting to know how superior this man was, according to his own words? I suggest you compare Paul’s posture with Yahoshua’s instruction in the gospels.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul quoted Christ as saying “It is more blessed to give than to receive”, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 20:35</strong>. It appears nowhere else in scripture, and given Paul’s admission that he spent little or no time with the apostles, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Galatians Chapter 1</strong>, one might question where he came up with such a quote (which sounds more like advice from Dear Abby than a quote from Yahoshua).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
In context of <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts Chapter 20</strong>, we find Paul preparing to go to Jerusalem, to appear before James and the real apostles, to stand accountable for his anti-Torah views, in <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 21:18-36</strong>. He’s uses the aforementioned ‘quote’ to defend himself and his teachings to the church of Ephesus (who later rejected him), telling them to take heed for the ‘wolves’ that will lead them away from his doctrine when he leaves (such as the real apostles). In other words, he knows the real apostles are going to be irate with him and he’s trying to minimize damage before the Ephesians find out they were duped (which they later found out), <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">II Timothy 1:15, Revelation 2:2</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
It is one of only two times Paul quotes Yahoshua when the quote is not connected to a personal revelation (the other is <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">I Corinthians 11:24-25</strong>, which is not in complete alignment with the gospels).</div>

The tribal standard of Benjamin is the wolf.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul claimed to be an Israelite from the tribe of <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Benjamin</em>, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Romans 11:1, Philippians 3:5</strong>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Philippians 3:5</strong> presents an intriguing problem. Paul claims to be out of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew out of the Hebrews, and a Pharisee according to the law. He’s telling us he’s the ‘real thing’. This poses a few problems.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The Greek word translated “ touching (according to)” is kata, which primarily means ‘against, opposition to’, especially when used with the accusative case (as it is here). The word “law” (used here in the accusative case) is nomon. Normally, the phrase kata nomon farisaious would be translated “a Pharisee against the law”, but in this case it was curiously rendered as “a Pharisee touching (according to) the law”. After all, it wouldn’t make sense for a Pharisee to be against the law…or would it?</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Pharisaic law rejects the Torah in favor of the Talmud (rabbinic oral law). Yes, they certainly would be against Torah Law. If you accept the translation “a Pharisee according to the law”, by definition the law of a Pharisee is Talmudic, and anti-Torah. Both translations suggest there is a problem between Paul and Torah Law.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Furthermore, we know that the Pharisees were Kenites, the sons of Cain, the scribes who infiltrated Judah, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">I</strong> <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Chronicles 2:55</strong>. Was Paul really who he said he was?</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Yahweh changed Abram’s name to ‘Abraham’ and Jacob’s name to ‘Israel’. Yahoshua changed Simon’s name to ‘Peter’. These were all divine name changes meant for a purpose. Paul <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">changed his own name</em> ‘Saul’ (which means ‘borrowed’) to ‘Paul’ (which means ‘little’ or ‘small’), also for a purpose. Neither Yahweh nor Yahoshua changed Paul’s name. The switch subtly takes place in <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Acts 13:9</strong> (note that Paul is once again linked to the number 13, the number of rebellion). Just like the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Matthew 16:6-12</strong>, small Paul leavens the church with his doctrine.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul is credited with having written 13 epistles (13 is the number of rebellion). Paul’s epistles bring the total number of books in the Bible to 66 (6 is the number of man, and 66 is an occult master number). If Paul were really an apostle, he’d be the 13th one.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul negates the deity of Yahoshua, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">I Timothy 2:5</strong>. Paul tells us there is one mediator between God and man, the <span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;">man</span> Christ Jesus (Greek is άνθρωποσ, ‘anthropos’). However, the word άνθρωποσ as used in the New Testament means ‘man’ as carnal man, i.e. man with a sinful nature (in secular use it means a human being, from which we get the word ‘anthropology’). With the exception of this one verse by Paul, άνθρωποσ is never (not even once) used in connection with Yahoshua’s deity (except in His title as ‘Son of man’). Only unbelievers in the gospels, who do not recognize Yahoshua’s divinity, use this word in reference to Yahoshua.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
It’s quite an insult for Paul to refer to Yahoshua as a carnal man (άνθρωποσ) who mediates between God and us, for it debases Yahoshua’s stature and removes His divinity and authority. It’s such an overt act of blasphemy that it’s highly unlikely that a Pharisee like Paul would choose this word by mistake. Given the fact that άνθρωποσ is used 560 times in the New Testament, and 136 times by Paul in his epistles alone, it’s hard to believe that he did not understand what he had written.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
If we look at the context of <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">I Timothy Chapter 2,</strong> it’s typical Pauline instruction. It begins by telling us to support those in authority and ends by upbraiding women. In the middle he throws in some vague superlatives about God and Christ, which always sound nice but really say nothing. The only ‘meat’ we find is in verse 5, wherewith Paul calls Christ Jesus, the mediator, an άνθρωποσ (a carnal man bereft of deity). It’s a magnum doctrinal gem he slips in amongst the fluff so as to go unnoticed. He then follows up verse 5 with verse 7, to give himself an air of credibility, whereby he touts his ordination as a preacher (<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">by whom</em>?), his apostleship (<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">according to him</em>), and his truthful speech in ‘Christ’. Then, as if there is some reason to question Paul’s veracity (as there certainly is), for good measure he assures us he does not lie. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Now why would <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">he</strong> think, that we’d think, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">he</strong> was lying? Unless, of course, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">he</strong> was!</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Okay, so now you’re aware of the problems with Paul. It’s undeniable that there is something amiss with his doctrine. ‘Disturbing’ is a better word. It clearly <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">does not</em> align with Yahoshua’s teachings. Furthermore, Paul went to great length to hide what he was teaching from the real apostles, and was twice taken to task for it in Jerusalem. The overwhelming number of problematic scriptures, and Paul’s troubles with the real apostles are glaring red flags.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
How long will you ignore the problem? How hard will you fight to explain away Paul’s own words? How much longer will you lean back in your pew and listen to some talking head say, “What Paul really means is…”; only to grow weary because it sounds like the opposite of what you thought he said? Here’s a revelation: Paul meant what he said. You don’t need an interpreter. If Pauline Doctrine <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">seems</em> confusing and twisted, that’s because <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">it is</em>! If you really want to know what Paul said, read it yourself and look up the vocabulary. I did. So can you. Don’t accept someone else’s word for your salvation. This article gives you an ample supply of verses to stimulate your gray matter.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Prophecy tells us only a few will escape Satan’s deceptions in the latter days. Conversely, that means the bulk of Christianity will be deceived. So how will they be deceived if they’re such stalwart followers of Yahoshua? Enter Paul. If the mere thought of questioning Pauline Doctrine or Paul’s truthfulness ruffles your feathers, it’s a sign that Paul’s rotten spiritual fruit has taken root in your life. His seeds are seeds of oppression and bondage. Yahweh is the path to freedom, not Paul.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Take a look at the big picture: Paul was a Pharisee who freely admitted he taught by revelation. One more time-He taught by <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">revelation</em>. He was at odds with the apostles. They called him ‘brother’, not apostle. The Asian churches rejected Paul. The real apostles were not rejected. Paul is caught lying numerous times in his epistles. He is the only ‘brother’ who repeatedly has to defend himself from accusations of guile and lying. None of the twelve real apostles are so accused. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">What’s wrong with this picture?</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Prophecy warns us that believers will be deceived (by the church) in the latter days (now). They’ll accept false doctrine as truth because their hearts are far from Yahweh. It’s disturbing to see the church’s reliance on Pauline doctrine today, and it’s even more alarming to see believers defend this position with quotes from Paul (rather than the word of Yahoshua and the prophets). This article was written to reveal Paul/Saul’s character <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">through his own words</em>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Yahoshua warned of false teachers and deception. The apostles, aware of Paul’s epistles, did the same. Paul was turned out of the Judean-Christian community in Judea AND the churches of Asia for his teachings. Ask Yahweh to show you the truth in this matter. If you haven’t yet read the scripture that accompanies each statement about Paul, DO SO NOW. Don’t take my word for it; look up the scripture and study.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul ended up in Rome, and via coincidence, we now have the Roman Catholic Church; which bears a striking resemblance to Paul’s church structure, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Ephesians 4:11, I & II Timothy</strong>. At the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, this same church chose to include 13 Pauline epistles into their biblical canon; while excluding such books as Enoch. Coincidence? Hardly. Just as Yahweh allowed Satan into the garden of Eden, so He allowed Paul in the Bible. Satan is the father of lies. Any guess as to whom Paul serves? (The answer is <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">not</em> Yahweh).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul’s revelations about salvation by faith alone and the abolishment of the Law has been poisoning the church for more than 2000 years. Again, by his own admission, Paul taught by ‘the revelation of Jesus Christ’, (not from the teachings of Yahoshua in the flesh, or from the teachings of the real apostles). Paul must have been quite a saint to receive special instructions that were withheld from the twelve real apostles. Yahoshua spent 3 ½ years in the flesh teaching the twelve chosen apostles to keep the Law. Do you really believe Yahoshua changed his mind, and suddenly gave ‘new revelations’ to Paul/Saul the Pharisee? There is no basis for Paul’s doctrine other than Paul’s own word. They are not the teachings of Yahoshua, and they are called ‘Pauline Doctrine’ for a reason.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
If you think this is blasphemy, think about this: The Catholic Church is the organization that made the decisions about which books would or would not be included in (their) Bible. The Catholic Church made this decision for you. And, lo and behold, it’s Pauline Doctrine that supports their existence, not the teachings of Yahoshua. This should send shivers up your spine.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Paul’s writings are filled with far too many examples that conflict with Yahoshua’s teachings. More importantly, where is Yahoshua to be found in Paul’s epistles? Paul clearly denied Torah Law. Yahoshua clearly said the Law does not pass away. Do you believe Paul or Yahoshua? <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">If you have to think about this, you’re in trouble</em>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
If we (rightly) conclude the Law did not pass away, we see that Paul’s doctrine entirely crumbles. There’s no reason to follow him (as if there ever was). Yahoshua tells us to follow <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Him</em>. We’re not to follow Paul, the church, or anyone else. We’re to seek Yahoshua and keep His commandments.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
John tells us the number of the deceived (in the last days) ‘will be as sand of the sea’, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Revelation 20:8</strong>. Peter told us judgment must begin with the church, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">I Peter 4:17</strong>. Yahoshua said, “Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?” <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Luke 18:8.</strong> Paul clearly reveals his corrupt spirit when he says, “I become all things to all men…”, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">I Corinthians 9:19-22</strong>. Paul’s words speak for themselves.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Lastly, think of this. If so many people are deceived in the last days, who are these people? If the church is to be spared by rapture, then who are the unnumbered souls washed in the blood of the lamb, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Revelation Chapter 7</strong>. If only 144,000 are sealed, explain what happens to the ‘church’ and the Christian ‘religion’? Simple math reveals that the numbers don’t add up. It appears that a lot of ‘Christians’ in the ‘church’ are going to get it wrong. How do you suppose that happens?</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Do you trust the words of Yahoshua, or the ‘revelations’ of Paul?</div>

When someone you don't know, suddenly shows up in front of your door and claims he is a representative of an important man, will a laminated ID suffice to ascertain if he is really WHO HE CLAIMS, HE IS?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Let us just say, that this man claims, that he was sent by the Roman Catholic Pope, and that you (for the sake of argument) is a pious Catholic. Maybe he is even dressed like a priest, talks calmly and even moves like one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If what this man is asking you to do will mean you have to entrust your life into his hand, would you just do it as he asks? Would you entrust your future to this man because of the above?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
What if he keeps on repeating that the "Pope" sent him? Or what if he makes "better" promises than what you usually hear from the pulpit? Will that make you trust him completely now?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
No? Not yet? Why? What would it take for you to completely trust this man?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
What if he tells you an amazing story on how he became a faithful(Roman Catholic)? Still NO?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
I can understand how you feel. It would take a lot more to make us trust a person with our life, our future and our family's welfare.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Sadly though, many people do EXACTLY that to an even worse situation. The person they trust with these precious things is someone, they did not even meet IN PERSON.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 26.88px; line-height: 1.2 !important; margin: 2.5rem 0px 0.3rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
That man is Paul.</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Simply put, these are the claims of Paul:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 1.6; list-style-position: outside; margin: 0px 0px 1rem 2rem; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">That he was sent by Christ.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">That Christ revealed to him that the LAW of God has been "crucified" (nullified, abrogated, removed), hence there's no need anymore to observe them.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Faith is enough for "salvation"</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">He is equal if not better than the Apostles of Christ.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">He is an Apostle because Christ made him so.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">There's no need to observe the God ordained festivities (Sabbaths, New Moons, Passover..etc.)</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">He is the "father" of those worshipper that he helped spiritually.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">That the greatest LAW is to "love your neighbor as yourself".</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
These constitute a very little part of a vast number of claims that paul made through his epistles. While claiming concurrently that HE IS A REPRESENTATIVE OF CHRIST.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Now, do we just trust Paul because he said things as so?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
What manner of verification can we do?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
A failsafe method to check if Paul's claims are true is to compare Paul's words, to Christ's words. Would you agree?<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Would it suffice for you to prove or disprove Paul's teachings according to HOW IT MEASURE UP TO CHRIST'S?? I sure hope so.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
It will be similar to the man on our example above, and then being able to talk to the R.C. Pope and ask him directly about the man's credentials!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">

Please note that, Paul never met Christ in person, while Christ was physically alive, although they were contemporaries. Meaning, if someone suddenly talks to him without showing his face to Paul, Paul would have no idea, if that man is, INDEED Christ or not.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
This fact of not KNOWING CHRIST, put Paul in a very vulnerable situation. ANY EVIL SPIRIT CAN MAKE PAUL BELIEVE HE IS TALKING TO CHRIST! And this is what actually happened above. Why can we be sure that this is the case of Paul's "miraculous" conversion?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
You have to understand how DIFFERENT the person and the teachings of this "invisible one" who talked to Paul compared to Christ. What are the differences?</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 1.6; list-style-position: outside; margin: 0px 0px 1rem 2rem; padding: 0px;">

When the real Christ was still alive, he does not directly announce his identity to people, even when ASKED or investigated. Christ's answers varies from "it is he you are talking to" to "the son of man will be revealed" kind of replies, but never I AM JESUS/CHRIST. (frequently fraudters are eager to be acknowledged to be who they pretend to be).</div>
</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Christ has all the time to choose his apostles when he was still physically alive. In fact he did and taught them all they need to learn. Christ made those apostles as EYEWITNESSES to the things he did. Especially Christ's resurrection. It is the reason why, even after Judas Iscariot failed to faithfully fill his office, Paul was not even considered to replace him, nor any other man who does not measure up to being an eyewitness to Christ's life and ministry to be "sent out". We all know Christ has ascended to heaven and if he planned to make Paul an important part of his earthly ministry, the voting for Judas replacement time will be the best opportunity to acknowledge Paul into his legitimate church. Making Paul to be NOT CHOSEN WHEN CHRIST WAS PHYSICALLY ALIVE and STILL NOT CHOSEN WHEN CHRIST WAS SPIRITUALLY ALIVE. Only Christ's enemy will choose Paul to serve another purpose.</div>

<li style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Christ's Apostles are still alive that time, they are holding Jerusalem as the center of their ministerial work. If the spirit that spoke to Paul was indeed Christ, to whom do you think he will send Paul for "further instructions"? Where? It's easy to understand that it should be to the Apostles and in Jerusalem. None of these, were done by the spirit. Why?</div>
</li>

Christ never inflict HARM to anyone, much less BLINDS someone, when he was still alive. He does not need to put SICKNESS to someone just to look good by HEALING them afterwards. Who do you think employ such tactics of making people sick just to be a hero figure when they heal their victims? Yup, the fraudulent "faith healers".</div>

After Christ's resurrection, he talked to his disciples and apostles in person BEFORE GOING UP TO HEAVEN. Then he promised that after he went to heaven, a helper will be sent that will help the faithful. Do we find any other conversations between Christ and any of his apostles after he went to heaven? No, even John whom Christ "love so much" has only "visions" of Christ after his ascension.</div>

The spirit told Paul to preach to the gentiles. MINUS the LAW. Which Paul diligently did. Compare that to Christ's direct words at Matthew 5:17-19 ,which goes like, whoever disobeys the LAW and teaches others to do the same will be least(smallest, the most worthless) to the kingdom of heavens. And in Matthew 10:5-6</div>

With all of the above details, all pointing to different TEACHINGS, METHODS, CHARACTERISTICS and DISPOSITIONS compared to Christ, We are only fooling ourselves to BELIEVE that the spirit that talked to Paul is CHRIST(if that incident even really happened(THERES NO ONE WHO CORROBORATES PAUL ABOUT THIS).</div>

Let us consider that it really happened for the sake of the argument. What were the results of this "conversion"? Does the fruits of Paul's labors show that indeed it is of Christ?</div>

Let me ask you, do you have FAITH enough to heal? Cast off demons? Or maybe do some miracles? Would you agree that these kind of POWERFUL WORKS need immense FAITH to do? YET, despite their faith, these KINDS OF PEOPLE are still NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE EVEN CALLED "GOOD" BY CHRIST! Would we expect them to be saved?? Does this answer the question if whether Paul's doctrine that having FAITH alone is enough for salvation is true or not??</div>

So this man comes and knowing you respect the apostles, claims he is equal or greater than them, with a little mix of feigned humility. Paul even call the apostles as "super-apostles", you'll have to remember that at that time, when none of the books of the "new testament" is in circulation, the only people who are called apostles are Christ's. Only later on when Paul has stablished his own version of the churches that these terms became widespread. But those people submit to Paul's authority and therefore are not the subject of his tirade here.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 19.2px; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
He managed to insert the idea that these apostles are "evil" because they are bringing a "different Christ" to his followers. "Different gospel". Look at how insidous Paul! Because he knew very well that HE IS IN FACT TEACHING A DIFFERENT CHRIST AND GOSPEL, he charges the Apostles that are teaching the REAL CHRIST and GOSPEL to be evil. Then goes on to compare score cards with them, claiming all his hardships to spread his gospel version as proof of his supremacy over the real Apostles.</div>

A church mustered the courage to examine Paul and found him lying, then Christ commended them. It only means that while Paul MAY CLAIM ALL HIS CLAIMS to be an APOSTLE, but he is not.</div>

Having proven the above, all following claims of Paul loses credibility. If examined will only emphasize the fact that he carried a different Christ and a different gospel. A gospel loved by those in authority today. This is the very reason why, his epistles made its way into the canon of the Bible.</div>

Therefore we will not be surprised if there are many "scholars" who vouched for Paul, evil has many company anyway. But truth does not lie in number or time. Even if the whole world claim something as GOOD, and only Christ says it is not. Number will not help the case.</div>

Lifting the Veil of Deception off the Eyes of Israel. This is an examination of what could possibly be, THE greatest LIE of Satan to ever have been told us via the mouth of the <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Enemy of Yahshua. <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />WHO IS THE MAN OF SIN AND WHO IS THE SON OF PERDITION <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />WHO IS TO BE REVEALED IN HIS TIME?<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Yahweh Will Always <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Save His People!<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />By Nikki</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 1.5rem;">
Matthew 24:24 <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that,<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />if it were possible, <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />they shall deceive the very elect. <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /> It's time to just SEE. <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Some things are so much more difficult to see, because we tend to cling to our sentimental, comfortable beliefs, (traditions of men) that make us FEEL safe and secure, yet which blind us to the truth. Yahshua came to give sight to the blind. He came that we might have LIFE and have it MORE abundantly. There is nothing to fear in seeing His Truth. He is the Good Shepherd; the One who laid down His life for the lost sheep of the House of Israel. Therefore, who is it better to believe? Yahshua, or the twisted words of those men in postions of power whose only aim, sinse the beginning, is to bring us into bondage to themselves, thus TRY TO destroy the Heritage of Yahweh's True children: ISRAEL?</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 1.5rem;">
Remember, the DRAGON HATES THE WOMAN ISRAEL and his sole desire is to destroy the remnant of her seed. By one gross perversion and deception after another, Satan sends a FLOOD against the woman in hopes of drowning her in the mire of sin (trangression of YAH'S law) and delusion- (LIES). However, Yahshua said, "YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH and THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE." He will not lose even one of the souls whom Yahweh, our Heavenly Father has given Him. Hallelu'Yah to the Lamb!!<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />In this article I'll be addressing something that's been weighing on my heart, ever since Yahweh showed me the truth about Paul of Tarsus and the entire "Christian" farse. Chances are, this article will offend many, but I believe in both hearing and speaking Yah's TRUTH because it's only by His Truth, that any of us have a chance of escaping what is soon to come to pass upon all humankind. <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />It's TIME. <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />The veil is lifting and ISRAEL is waking up (PRAISE YAHWEH!!) to understand and accept that she has been duped and badly so, by those who she has blindly trusted to lead her safely back to her Creator; Yahweh Most High and Holy. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 1.5rem;">
On that note, it's time to take a very close look at the passage of scripture that has been like a blindfold to many for the past twenty centuries:<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />II Thessalonians 2:2-4 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. :3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; :4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />PAUL IS THE MAN OF SIN AND NOW IS HIS TIME TO BE REVEALED!!<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />This article will prove (YAHWEH WILLING) that Saul-Paul of Tarsus, FALSE Apostle and DESTROYER of the Gentiles, is that ever elusive antichrist that the whole of ChristenDUMB is still looking for. What if I told you, he's been right there under your noses ALL ALONG and the reason why you can't see him for what he is, is because of the ABOVE PASSAGE plus many others, that divert your attention away from the truth? Would you believe the truth, or would you rather cling to your "god" named PAUL and continue following the blind leader, like a blind sheep, straight into the DITCH? <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />In the Mighty Name of Yahshua Ha Mashiach, may TRUE ISREAL'S EYES BE OPENED and the souls that have been dragged into the Christian net be SET FREE by the TRUTH! Amein!</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 1.5rem;">
Saul-Paul of Tarsus was nothing but an EDOMITE, PHARISEE who infiltrated the flock of Yahshua and corrupted it through and through, from the INSIDE and now, 2000 years later, Christians exalt PAUL as the THE greatest apostle of the Lamb who ever lived. In this way, PAUL sits in the Temple of the Most High AS the "god" of Christianity. WOE TO THE TEACHER OF LIES!! WOE TO ALL WHO LOVE HIS LIES! Paul is Satan's spokesman and the one whom Yahshua warned us about, over and over again, in His parables. It's time to wake up Israel and see that YAHWEH IS ABOUT TO POUR OUT HIS WRATH UPON THAT BEAST THAT PAUL BUILT IN HIS NAME! It's time to COME OUT OF HER and get into the shelter of Yah's Almighty Wings because soon, the DOOR WILL CLOSE and NONE SHALL ESCAPE! <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />WHO IS THE SON OF PERDITION? <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Yahshua told us plainly who the son of perdition was. It was Judas Iscariot, one of His twelve Apostles who betrayed Him to the authorities- those PHARISEES who ruled over the temple of YAHWEH yet who didn't even recognize the Messiah Yahweh sent! Judas was that son of perdition. No other man was given this title! Sinse this is the case, why did PAUL decide to present a falsehood so thorough that the whole world would continue looking for this person? That's called a "diversion." <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 1.5rem;">
What scripture was the TRUE Apostle John referring to? In Zechariah 11 we are given a full understanding of what was to come in the time of Yahshua. Please read my study of the TWO SHEPHERDS, then return here. <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />In the first chapter of Acts, we're given another revealing clue pertaining to the son of perdition:<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />"Peter" addressed the assembly gathered at Jerusalem to appoint a twelfth apostle to replace Judas Iscariot.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Acts 1:16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Acts 1:17-19 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. :18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. :19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />What ministry was Judas partaker of?</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 1.5rem;">
Acts 1:20-25 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take. :21 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, :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. :23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. :24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen, :25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />It was the specific ministry of apostleship that Matthias assumed once Judas betrayed Yahshua. As we see, there are specific qualifications for true Apostles of the Lamb. I won't go into that in this essay but please read my essay: "What Is An Apostle?"<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Acts 1:26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /> When Yahshua was being tempted by Satan after His forty day fast, Satan used the term, "IT IS WRITTEN" three times, in his attempt to trap Yahshua. However, Satan misquoted what was written and Yahshua, being the TRUE AND FAITHFUL witness of Yahweh, overcame Satan by His TESTIMONY of the truth. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 1.5rem;">
Paul invariably misquoted "what is written," to suit himself. It would take too long to point out to you, all the ways he did this, so I would ask you to please read my studies titled: "THUS SAITH PAUL." <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Paul twisted scripture to make his case for a "coming" man of sin/son of perdition, in order to divert Israel from the truth that he, himself, was the man of sin. Paul prophesied of a "coming" falling away, yet the falling away began precisely after Yahshua ascended back to His Father and PAUL became the founder of a new religion. Paul's new religion was Christianity and though he used the NAME of Jesus Christ to base his perverted, lawless doctrine of "salvation by faith" alone on, he could not have been more opposed to Yahweh nor Yahshua if he tried. He taught LAWLESSNESS in the Name of "Jesus Christ." He taught that ALL can be justified by Yahweh if they simply believe PAUL's gospel. He taught that his new "religious body" was the "Israel of God," and that whoever follows it, is a "JEW" (chosen one) of Yahweh. But it's a lie. All of it. <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Paul was the man of sin and through him, the whole world has been deceived. Worldwide, bibles are being published and distributed and in each of these bibles, we have the words of Paul of Tarsus, which the masses cling to, over and above the very words of Yahweh through the law and the prophets, and the very Words of Yahshua Himself. This is how the entire world has been and continues to be "duped."<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Paul prophesied of a great falling away. He meant, a great falling away from HIS OWN DEMONIC DOCTRINES. In Yahweh's timing, which is NOW, His true witnesses are being awakened to testify AGAINST THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY. This is the testimony that the whole world hates: Yahweh IS TRUE. His commandments are given us for LIFE not as a burden and whoever hopes to see the Kingdom of Heaven, must keep YAHWEH'S COMMANDMENTS and cleave to the true sayings of His Son, Yahshua. <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />The true testimony of Yahshua is exactly what exposes the LIAR PAUL for who he is and this is WHY Paul never speaks Yahshua's true words, but instead, perverts the truth, so thoroughly as to mask his true identity as that ever elusive "man of sin."<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />It's time to see that the GENTILES HAVE INHERITED LIES AND THINGS WHEREIN THERE IS NO PROFIT. It's time to understand that the truth is a narrow path and few find it, because they won't listen to the testimony of Yahshua, about who His Father is and who can enter into His Kingdom. Paul is a son of the devil and his lies have managed to pull the wool right over the eyes of the goats but the TRUE SHEEP SEE and TESTIFY AGAINST THE STRANGER.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />There is no "great falling away." The only falling away that is occuring now, is a GREAT AWAKENING of the true saints of the Most High and the Christian church is looking at the true witnesses of Yahweh as the ENEMY. We are not the enemy. Though they will slaughter us, we LIVE TO THE GLORY OF YAHWEH MOST HIGH AND HOLY, eternally, because we denounce falsehoods spoken in HIS NAME. The falling away is an awakening for some and a seal of condemnation of the MASSES. Wake up ISRAEL. <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />The true witnesses of Yahweh speak according to the law and the testimony. Whoever speaks contrary to this truth, speaks so, because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM. <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Paul of Tarsus is the man of sin and the truth is, HE IS BEING REVEALED. The time is very short. Satan's wrath is great against the REMNANT of the SEED of TRUE ISREAL. The remnant is small and weak but when the time is right, YAHSHUA WILL COME to their defense and destroy the wicked right off the face of the earth and only true Isreal will stand. No one who either loves a lie or makes a lie can see or enter the GATES of the City of YAHWEH. Who is the Door but Yahshua Ha Mashiach? Only by HIS WORDS and by believing and DOING them, can we be part of the TRUE VINE. <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />PAUL'S vine is a counterfeit vine that MEN collect off the TRUE VINE to be burnt with FIRE. <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />The great falling away that Paul prophesied of, was spoken in order to stamp the truth of the witnesses of Yahweh, straight to the ground. Whoever doesn't abide by the false god of ChristenDUMB; Saul-Paul of Tarsus, is considered by the masses of Paulinated workers of iniquity, to be the enemy of truth. But it couldn't be more the opposite. <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />May Yahshua open the eyes of the blind and SET FREE every true Israelite from the Pauline Net.</div>

Paul, Paul, "Apostle" Paul: <br />
Have You Deceived Us All?<br />
OR<br />
Are You A Genuine Apostle of the Lamb? <br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
For the purpose of this study on the<br />
writings of Paul, I'm using the<br />
King James Version,<br />
since it is the most commonly used<br />
version of the bible, in circulation today.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
by Nikki<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Romans 1:1-7 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Paul introduces himself to the Romans as:<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
- A Servant of Jesus Christ<br />
- Called to be an Apostle<br />
- Separated unto the Gospel of God (Separated from whom?)<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Whew- Already, a long, confusing, rambly, run-on sentence, that I really have to think about (and hard), in order to understand. In essence, Paul is saying that he is called, to serve Yahshua as an apostle. He adds that he and they with him, (whoever they may be) have received apostleship for obedience to the faith among the nations for His Name. What faith is Paul referring to? The faith of Yahshua, who only spoke the Word of His Father and who was obedient to His Father only? Paul claims that he and they with him, are called to be apostles for obedience to the faith, among all nations. What does this mean? Paul is saying that he is the apostle of obedience- the one to teach and preach obedience to the faith. In other words, he is called to found 'the church' and teach all nations how to be obedient followers of it. Furthermore, he tells his Roman audience that they are called by Yahshua to be saints.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Before continuing on with this chapter, a few things have already got me feeling a knot in my stomach. The first red flag arose with Paul's declaration that he is an apostle. Please read: Was Paul An Apostle?<br />
Was he or wasn't he an apostle of the Lamb? According to himself, he was an apostle of obedience to the faith. That was the second red-flag. What does he mean by saying he is an apostle of obedience to the faith, among the nations? If he were an apostle of obedience, should he not be obedient to the Word of Yahweh, rather than to such an elusive thing as the faith?<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Romans 1:8-10 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. For God is my witness, (meaning he had no other witnesses) whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Paul informs the Romans, that their faith, is spoken of throughout the whole world and he thanks his God (who he serves with his spirit) through Jesus Christ for that. It sounds like Paul is very proud of the Roman saints because they must have been highly regarded, making Paul look wonderful. Because he is so touched by reports of their faith, Paul is praying that he will be able to have a prosperous journey to see them in person. <br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
This is raising another red flag. Yahshua said that the whole world will hate His followers because of the Word, because the world hated Him. Yahshua said the world will never love His followers, because it never loved Him. He said that the world would despise His Word, because it despises Yahweh, who sent Him. But Paul is praising the Romans because the whole world is speaking of their faith. Were they speaking of the Faith Of Yahshua, or the faith of Paul? <br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Romans 1:11-12 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Paul wants to reward the Romans for their fond report among the whole world, by imparting to them, some spiritual gift. The reason he wants to give them some spiritual gift, is so that he can be comforted with them, (in knowing they are solidly in there) because of the mutual faith between they and himself. What does Paul mean exactly by wanting to impart some spiritual gift to the Romans? First of all, in order to impart something to somebody else, you need to possess it. What spiritual gift does Paul possess that he wants to give to the Romans as a reward? Could it be some kind of special knowledge or wisdom? Could it be some kind of power or ability, which he says comes by the spirit? And what does Paul mean by saying he serves his God with his spirit in the gospel of His Son? Does this mean He serves Yahweh, in the manner which Yahshua did? If so, does Paul preach the same Word Yahshua spoke? Did Paul share the same testimony Yahshua shared- eg. Worship Yahweh- He IS true?<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Romans 1:13-15 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles. I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
It's nice of Paul to let the Romans know he doesn't want them to be ignorant of how badly he wishes and purposes to see them. He says he wants to have some fruit among them like the Greeks and the Barbarians seem to have manifested. He says he is in debt to these other Gentiles- the smart ones and the not so smart ones alike. Why? What did they give him? What did they do for him to cause him to be indebted to them? Did they believe him? Is that it? And in believing him, did they further his cause? Did his 'church' grow because of them and did he thereby, receive some sort of credibility? Paul explains that he is eager to preach the gospel in Rome like he did to the Greeks and Barbarians. My question, automatically, is how can these Romans he is writing to, be of mutual faith, if he hasn't been there yet to preach the faith to them? OR, was he there before and did he lay some groundwork there? If so, when did he go to Rome and what exactly did he preach? If not, then who has gone before Paul to pave the way for him?<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, 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.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Here's a very interesting passage. Paul says he is not ashamed of the gospel of Messiah because it's the power of Yahweh to save whoever believes- to the Jew it came first, then to the Greek, which I assume means the Gentiles, but he did say Greek. Whatever the case may be, Paul is right to say we must believe the gospel of Yahshua. Wonderful, good and true. However, what gospel is Paul really talking about? Yahshua came to teach us and show us the kingdom of heaven. He spoke to us in parables; symbolic stories, and He told His disciples that the world couldn't understand the parables because they were not His. Did Paul teach the parables of the kingdom of heaven? Did He teach us to walk in obedience to Yahweh, as Yahshua exemplified for us all? Or, did Paul say, "It is written, The just shall live by faith?"<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
I have got to check this out. Where is it written, that the just shall live by faith? Well, it is written, in one of Paul's other epistles: Galatians 3:11 and in Hebrews 10:38. But that's not enough for me. Did Yahweh or Yahshua ever declare that the just shall live by faith? On the contrary. Yahweh always, always, always said, "Keep MY commandments, so you may LIVE." Yahshua said, "He who says I know Him but keepeth not His commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him."<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Want to see something fascinating?<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Habakkuk 2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Awake yet? Please Read this Prophecy of Habukkuk and ask yourself if this could possibly be about a man like Paul, and the harlot, Gentile 'church' he would found . . . that would catch men in its net.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Romans 1:18-23 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. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
If you have not yet read that prophecy of Habukkuk, please read it now, then come back and reread the above passage. You will see something absolutely unbelievable. What IS Paul saying? He is declaring his purpose loud and clear to they who have known Yahweh, (Israel) yet when they knew Him, honored Him not. Paul was indeed chosen by Yahweh, to execute judgement on the house of Israel and all the world who had not and still do not believe the truth. Why did He choose Paul? Because his soul was not upright in him, but the just would follow him. They who saw Yahshua in the flesh but didn't believe Him, or honor Him as Yah in the flesh, thus do as Yahweh commanded, were later destroyed by Titus and the Roman army. Jerusalem was completely annihilated and stolen from Israel by the Romans, in 70 AD. The Gentiles took over . . . Israel now officially lost herself in the Gentile net. All nations became subject to Roman rule and we all know, the Holy Roman Empire was/is Christian.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
You may ask, SO WHAT? What does Paul have to do with any of this? Let Job, Yahshua and Paul answer that:<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Job 24:14 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as the thief.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Paul was born as Saul, within two years of the birth of Yahshua- the LIGHT. When did Saul become "Apostle" Paul? After Yahshua arose from death. But before Saul became "Paul" he was the murderer of the saints. When he couldn't beat' em, by golly he infiltrated the fold like a thief . . . to steal the truth, by deception. What truth? Keep the commandments of Yahweh and the testimony of Yahshua which always was, the very same Word of His Father. (Please read the parable of the wheat and the tares in Matthew 13)<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Awake yet? <br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Saith Paul:<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Acts 3:14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you . . .<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
He is blatantly telling them, "You asked for me! Voila! Here I am- your murderer."<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
The name Saul, means "Asked for." Yahshua gave us so many clues about His arch-enemy, it's mind-boggling. Here is a BIG ONE:<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
John 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Before continuing on, dissecting Paul's first chapter of his letter to the Romans, it's imperitive to understand he is the enemy and he is a liar through and through. The way the enemy works is to twist, distort and double-talk so much, that he confuses us totally. What he has to say, sounds so much like the truth, (and a lot of it is) that's why Yahshua said that if it were possible, he would deceive even the very elect. Whew! Even the very elect means the true Apostles themselves. That's how deep and complete the deception of Satan really is. YET, Yahshua told us that if we believe HIM and keep HIS testimony of the Father, we will be saved. What was His testimony? Worship Yahweh- He is TRUE and His law is good, holy, righteous and the way to eternal life, so keep it.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Romans 1:24-32 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
I feel like crying right about now. Part of me cannot believe Paul could really be the enemy of Yahweh, after such a profound passage like the above. He is glorifying Yahweh- saying how terrible mankind has been for turning the truth of Yahweh into a lie; for worshipping the creation more than worshipping Him- The Creator. Paul's description of just how evil man can be, is mind-boggling, especially in the day we live- a day when homosexuality, deceit, murder, untrustworthiness and complete debauchery assault our senses every time we turn on the tv or even open our front doors. <br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
What makes the above passage even more striking, is the realization that Yahweh really IS about judge this world. I knew it as I read it- like there is hardly any time left to even get this task done . . . but His will be done. I don't want to believe Paul is the antichrist, or at least 'an' antichrist. I don't want to believe this but I do. As I pick apart his letters, I see just how true it may be, and just how hard it is to grasp such a thing. We all need to humble ourselves before Yahweh. We need to truly, sincerely repent. We need to return to Yahweh, seek His face, walk in His ways and realize His Word is spirit and it is life. No other Word has the power and authority that the Word of Yahweh does, over evil and over death.</div>

As a Pharisee, Saul of Tarsus was a "child of hell" according to the words of the Messiah !! The Messiah STRONGLY warned his followers against the doctrines of the Pharisees. Why?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH-2bSskEmtDfvqwEoeKnjW9DH9z4UdmhkQKFpKyczdB35ldA5puYCpPeHrXxpEt2s5Q3l4HV6DKTaAvMYm4dLok2OPRpNunKPAuQLD4C6bxde9KWVY9r295_GhI4eajjJwhHIj9XMp2o/s1600/Pharisees.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH-2bSskEmtDfvqwEoeKnjW9DH9z4UdmhkQKFpKyczdB35ldA5puYCpPeHrXxpEt2s5Q3l4HV6DKTaAvMYm4dLok2OPRpNunKPAuQLD4C6bxde9KWVY9r295_GhI4eajjJwhHIj9XMp2o/s320/Pharisees.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #444444;">Were the Pharisees strict adherents of the Law or corrupters of the Law? </span></b> </div>
<br />
<br />
Most people today have an incorrect perception of who the Pharisees were and the true nature of their doctrines. The Pharisees were not a religious sect that followed the Law of Moses in the Old Testament. While pretending to follow it, they actually perverted and corrupted the Old Testament Law, and replaced it with the teachings of the doctrines of men! That is what the Messiah directly said:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+15&version=NKJV">Matthew 15:6-9</a><br />
<br />
<i>Thus you have made the commandment of God <b>of no effect by your tradition</b>. Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth,</i><br />
<i>And honor Me with their lips,</i><br />
<i>But their heart is far from Me.</i><br />
<i>And in vain they worship Me,</i><br />
<i><b>Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men</b>.’</i><br />
<br />
<br />
The modern religion called "Judaism" traces its history and doctrines directly back to the Pharisees. Thus, "Judaism" is NOT the religion of the Old Testament Israelites. The true origin of the doctrines of the Pharisees and the religion of "Judaism" goes back to Babylonian occultism! As recognized and admitted by everyone, the most authoritative and "holy" book in the religion of Judaism is called the "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talmud">Babylonian Talmud</a>". <br />
<br />
And this was the case at the time of the life of the Messiah as well. The Messiah condemned the Pharisees in the strongest of terms, as "blind guides" (<a href="http://biblehub.com/matthew/23-24.htm">Matthew 23:14</a>), "hypocrites", and "whitewashed tombs full of dead men's bones and everything unclean" (<a href="http://biblehub.com/matthew/23-27.htm">Matthew 23:27</a>), He even identified the religion of the Pharisees as making "children of hell"!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://biblehub.com/matthew/23-15.htm">Matthew 23:15</a> - "<i>Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, <b>you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are</b>."</i><br />
<br />
<i><br /></i>
And in the book of Revelation, the Messiah refers to the jews as being a "synagogue of Satan"!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://biblehub.com/revelation/2-9.htm">Revelation 2:9</a> - "<i>I know about the slander of <b>those who say they are Jews and are not,</b> <b>but are a synagogue of Satan</b>."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<br />
The Messiah specifically says that the Pharisees intentionally try to keep men from being able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://biblehub.com/matthew/23-13.htm">Matthew 23:13</a> - <i>“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in."</i><br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #444444;">The Messiah answering the Pharisees (paining by James Tissot)</span></b></div>
<i><br /></i><i><br /></i>
<br />
In addition to strongly speaking out against the teachings of the Pharisees, the Messiah also sternly warned against the teaching of the Pharisees and how they would come as false prophets and teachers in order to corrupt His message! <br />
<br />
<a href="http://biblehub.com/matthew/16-6.htm">Matthew 16:6</a> - "<i>Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees."</i><br />
<br />
<a href="http://biblehub.com/matthew/7-15.htm">Matthew 7:15</a> - <i>"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."</i><br />
<br />
<a href="http://biblehub.com/matthew/24-24.htm">Matthew 24:24</a> - <i>"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."</i><br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2024:4-5&version=KJV">Matthew 24:4-5</a> - <i>"And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; <b>and shall deceive many</b>."</i><br />
<br />
And recall that the Messiah said that many shall be deceived and go on the road to destruction:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7%3A13-14&version=KJV">Matthew 7:13-14</a> - <i>"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and <b>broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in</b> thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."</i><br />
<br />
<br />
Given all of this, a serious student of the Bible and one seeking to follow the Messiah should ask themselves these questions: Why did the Messiah so strongly speak out against and warn against the Pharisees? Given that this is so prominently recorded in the Bible, is it not of extreme importance to us even today? How could a Pharisee possibly deceive the followers of the Messiah? Perhaps by pretending to "convert" to be a follower of the Messiah, and then spreading false doctrine? How is it that the Messiah said that "many" would go on the broad road to destruction, and that only a few would find life? How could the vast majority of even "Christians" be deceived? <br />
<br />
Given that the Messiah so strongly warned of this, wouldn't it be logical to assume that such a Pharisee would, in fact, come on to the scene and deceive MANY of his potential followers? Who could that be? <br />
<br />
Saul of Tarsus, the fake "aspostle" Paul, is the man that the Messiah was warning about! This is how most "Christians" are deceived! Saul/Paul was a Pharisee. Paul taught for doctrines the commandments of men, and nullified the Law of the Heavenly Father by the his false teachings by teaching that <a href="http://false-apostle-paul-archive.blogspot.com/2014/11/paul-teaches-against-keeping-law-of.html">"we are no longer under the Law" and that "the Law has been abolished"</a>! Paul specifically claimed to have given "signs and wonders" (in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+15%3A18-19&version=NIV">Romans 15:18-19</a>) as proof of for him being a prophet (as warned of by the Messiah in <a href="http://biblehub.com/matthew/24-24.htm">Matthew 24:24</a>)! Saul even taught men to pray in public in front of others as the Pharisees do, in direct contradiction to the teaching of the Messiah that we are to pray in secret. Paul is trying to prevent men from being able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven by his doctrines!<br />
<br />
Let those understand who have eyes that are able to see and who have ears that are able to hear.<br />

<b><span style="color: #444444;">"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law"</span></b></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
In the letter of 1 Corinthians, just prior to instructing his followers that it is <a href="http://false-apostle-paul-archive.blogspot.com/2015/05/paul-says-that-eating-meat-sacrificed.html">acceptable to eat meat sacrificed to idols</a>, the false "apostle" Pharisee Saul of Tarsus makes an astounding statement to his followers:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+10&version=NASB">1 Corinthians 10:23</a><br />
<br />
<i>"All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Since Paul has claimed that the Old Testament Law has been <a href="http://false-apostle-paul-archive.blogspot.com/2014/11/paul-teaches-against-keeping-law-of.html">"abolished" and that we are "no longer under the law"</a>, then what moral code are we left with? Do we have to obey any of the ten commandments? No, according to Pharisee Saul! Paul says that <u>ALL</u> of the Law has been done away with! Therefore, as he says, "all things are lawful"!<br />
<br />
Aleister Crowley (pictured above), the notorious 20th century occultist and Satanist, claimed to be in direct contact with demonic entities. He transcribed a book called "The Book of the Law" that allegedly contains the central doctrines for the Satanic religion, claiming that it was dictated to him from a non-human entity called "Aiwass" (probably Satan himself). A central tenet of this book is the statement <i>"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Crowley's teachings have had a profound impact upon the world. The Establishment's mantra of the 1960s rock and roll revolution was "if it feels good do it", which was directly taken from the teachings of Aleister Crowley. The jewish Satanists who run Hollywood and the music industry are dedicated followers of Crowley. Reportedly, many top musicians, actors and entertainers are given a copy of Crowley's "The Book of the Law" as part of their mandatory initiation into the occult. Top musicians including The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Ozzy Osbourne, and Jay Z have openly expressed their admiration for Crowley and his teachings. <br />

<br />
<i><br /></i>But who knew that many centuries earlier, a prominent Pharisee named Saul of Tarsus had already expressed this central Satanic doctrine of the "new morality" that was to take prominence in the world? Is this really such a marvel? Do we forget what the Messiah said of the jewish Pharisees? He said that they were literally "of their father the devil" (<a href="http://biblehub.com/john/8-44.htm">John 8:44</a>) and that their religion made "children of hell" (<a href="http://biblehub.com/matthew/23-15.htm">Matthew 23:15</a>)! <br />
<br />
There is nothing new under the sun, as stated in <a href="http://biblehub.com/ecclesiastes/1-9.htm">Ecclesiastes 1:9</a>. <br />

<a href="http://biblehub.com/psalms/119-113.htm">Psalm 119:113</a><br />
<br />
<i>I hate <b>double-minded </b>people,</i><br />
<i>but I love your law.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+1&version=NIV">James 1:6-8</a><br />
<br />
<i>"But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is <b>double-minded </b>and unstable in all they do."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
When Satan tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden, or when he tempted the Messiah in the wilderness, what did he do? He quoted part of the word of the Heavenly Father, but slightly misquoted or altered it, and then raised <i>doubt </i>concerning the word of the Father. And in the Garden, by eating of the forbidden "fruit", it says that Satan gave them knowledge of both good <u>AND evil</u>. <br />
<br />
In the world of the occult, including Satanism, Freemasonry, and other Babylonian mystery religions, there is a concetpt called "duality" that is of great importance. This Satanic doctrine of "duality" essentially says that you obtain "enlightenment" whenever you partake in acts that you know to be evil. "Duality" holds that evil is a "necessary" component in the world, and "balances" the good.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">The Satanic doctrine of duality, or balance of good and evil, is represented by the black and white checkerboard floor used prominently in Freemasonry</span></div>
<br />
<br />
When one carefully reads and examines the teachings of the Pharisee Saul of Tarsus (the fake "aspostle" Paul), they will find that he utilized these same tactics and doctrines of Satan, introducing them among "Christians". Paul raised doubt about the words of the Heavenly Father and the Messiah by teaching in direct contradiction to their words on dozens of issues -- most notably and importantly by teaching that <a href="http://false-apostle-paul-archive.blogspot.com/2014/11/paul-teaches-against-keeping-law-of.html">the Law has been "abolished"</a> in direct contraction to the Messiah who taught that the Law was to remain in effect and that obedience to the Law was the requirement for salvation. And Paul even contradicted <i>himself</i>, many times teaching two different things on the same subject. For instance, Paul teaches that <a href="http://false-apostle-paul-archive.blogspot.com/2015/05/false-teacher-paul-taught-we-are-to.html">we are to please men</a>, but then contradicts himself at another time by teaching that we are <i>not</i> to please men and only to please God (<a href="http://biblehub.com/galatians/1-10.htm">Galatians 1:10</a>).<br />
<br />
What Paul has done is EXTREMELY devastating to the minds of those Israelites who are attempting to follow the words of the Father and the Messiah. His teachings are a great stumbling block and trap, crafted with the cunning of Satan himself. They have been extremely successful at confusing and blinding the minds of the lost Sheep of Israel from the plain truth as given by the Father and the Messiah, and lead them away from following His Law, which is the only path to salvation. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666;">Above: The Sermon and Deeds of Antichrist, by Luca Signorelli, 1499-1500</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">In Saul's <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Thessalonians%202">second letter to the Thessalonians</a>, he talks about a "man of lawlessness" that will come before the second coming of the Messiah. Saul states in 2 Thessalonians 2:7, "for the secret power of lawlessness is already at work".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Here is an instance that Saul was actually telling the truth. But it was <u><i>Saul himself</i></u> who was that "man of lawlessness", and who was the "power of lawlessness already at work" in the world! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">What better way for Satan and his servant Saul/Paul to lead the sheep astray than to disguise themselves as "messengers of light" and even speak out against the works of Satan, pretending to oppose the evil work that <i>they themselves</i> were doing! Through these words of Paul, this is even a way that Satan is attempting to mock the people of the Heavenly Father. Satan is telling you what he and Saul/Paul are doing!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Again, the Pharisee Saul and fake "apostle" was the one who <a href="http://false-apostle-paul-archive.blogspot.com/2014/11/paul-teaches-against-keeping-law-of.html">falsely taught</a> that "we are no longer under the law" and the "law has been abolished". Yahushua of Nazreth our Messiah taught that we must obey the commandments and do the will of the Father in Heaven in order to obtain eternal life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Saul is the one attempting to lead billions of Israelites to hell by teaching them lawlessness!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Will those deceived by Saul/Paul be among those to whom Yahushua of Nazareth was speaking of in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7%3A21-23&version=KJV">Matthew 7:21-23</a>?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><i>21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; <b><span style="color: #990000;"><u>but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven</u></span></b>. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><i>22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><i>23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: <b><span style="color: #990000;"><u>depart from me, ye that work iniquity</u></span></b>.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">And what does the word "iniquity" mean from Matthew 7:23 above? It means <a href="http://biblehub.com/matthew/7-23.htm"><i>LAWLESSNESS</i></a>!!</span></div>

Who among us will have the audacity to fight the dragon? Will you? Here’s the deal, know for a certainty that each head of the dragon is found in the seven churches.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: tinos-1, tinos-2, sans-serif; font-size: 16.9617px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.1387px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br />Yeah we know about Paul the false apostle, but have you sought the Father as to which church you are in? The reason I ask this is because, Smyrna was tried by the accuser of the brethren for ten days or will be, Philadelphia was buffeted by those who said they were Judeans but were not, and were of the synagogue of Satan, as to Philly, that was then, this is now. As to Smyrna, again that was then, this is now. As to all the seven churches in each one is contained a series of lies and those lies resides or has resided in each and everyone, otherwise we would all be in Heaven, rejoicing and the Power of YHVH will have come, and the authority of His anointed one and you would know with a powerful certainty that salvation is come and manifested. If any of this were true, then everyone would be talking about it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: tinos-1, tinos-2, sans-serif; font-size: 16.9617px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.1387px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So because this is not being talked about, then guess what, everyone is engaged in a battle with the dragon and the lies that reside within each. This battle with the dragon is internal folks, not in outer space. Rev 12 is internal, not external. Likewise the accuser of the brethren is also within and takes up residence upon the tongues and hearts of….guess who?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: tinos-1, tinos-2, sans-serif; font-size: 16.9617px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.1387px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Yes the woman is the bride, but the bride is YOUR HEART at least those who entered the New Covenant, again, marriage covenant. When you enter this, yes you have accepted the marriage proposal. You have been brought to your knees at the preaching of Elijah and you have wept and have been broken and you have been or are of a contrite spirit and heart, this is the fruit meet for repentance. And if this is true in you, then you are or have been prepared for the coming of YHVH and you are a heavenly planting, which is THE SON, even Adam. Male and female He created them. But He created the Son first, then the woman, so ladies please do not get offended that the son comes first, then the daughter. The point being here is that the manchild is the product of marriage, the union of heaven and earth, the Torah written in your heart and in your mind. When that happens then the child of promise will be conceived within, formed and then born. So if nothing else cry out for the travail, because without it, nothing will be birthed and the woman SArah//Rachel/Hannah and the wife of Manoah is barren. What do each of these women have in common? They grieved, they yearned, they longed, they craved within themselves for a son! Have you done that? Is it within you to crave the son and His birth?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: tinos-1, tinos-2, sans-serif; font-size: 16.9617px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.1387px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Rev 12 is a picture of what was common knowledge 2000 years ago. However we already know why this is so obscure today. This is how the recreation of Adam and Eve happens, this is the creation of the New Heaven and the New Earth and it is within you. The Kingdom of Heaven is within, get used to it or you’ll miss it. When the Torah is inscribed by YHVH in your mind, then and only then will HE have established HIS Throne within you. This is not the work of you writing the Torah in your mind, which is rote memory work, NO, YHVH does it with His fiery finger.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: tinos-1, tinos-2, sans-serif; font-size: 16.9617px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.1387px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you want to obtain the KIngdom of Heaven, then you will fight the Seven Canaanite Nations and drive them out of Heaven. And yes those nations are within you and they are driven out of you, first out of your heart and then out of your mind.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: tinos-1, tinos-2, sans-serif; font-size: 16.9617px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.1387px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So are you willing of a truth to look upon the Great Red Dragon and declare with the boldness of the righteous, the boldness of a lion, that Hey Dragon, you are about to be squashed like a bug, YHVH has opened a can of whoop ass, and it’s dumped on you. And quite frankly folks, I don’t give a rip whether my language offends you or not, religion and the religious are so easily offended.</div>

So here’s the deal, Paul says of Yahshua that ‘he who knew no sin became sin’ Paul also says the Messiah became cursed. Paul also says in Rom 7 that the one who died is not the same one that rose again. Can you see that Paul is describing the Goat and not the Lamb? It was the goat that had the sins imparted to it, NOT the Lamb of God. It’s the Lamb that ‘Taketh’ away the sin of the world.’ What is the sin of world? The sin of the world was and is ‘Lawlessness.’ Sin is Lawlessness.</div>

The word ‘taketh’ is in the continuous present tense. It’s not a one time thing that happened 2000 years ago. Why? Because lawlessness still exists. So the lawlessness of the world was not put away at the cross. I mean come on, Christianity utterly shuns the Law of God going so far as to say that if we do it then we are under a curse. So no for the Christian the sin of the world still exists within them</div>
<div class="kmsgtext" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: tinos-1, tinos-2, sans-serif; font-size: 16.9617px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.1387px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

So how does this happen then? ‘If you continue in my Word’ and this means to do it and keep doing it. ‘Then you shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free.’ And yet in Psa 119:142 it says ‘Thy Law is the Truth.’ Yahshua says the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and shall lead you and guide you into ALL truth and understanding. So this is a continuous thing, and it is the Law of God that sets us free if we do it.</div>
<div class="kmsgtext" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: tinos-1, tinos-2, sans-serif; font-size: 16.9617px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.1387px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

If one cares to read carefully the Gospels apart from Paul’s influence, then one will see that there was one particular stunning event that happened as a result of Yahshua laying down His life and it was NOT the forgiveness of sins. No, what one will see is that it was the infilling of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth is what was accomplished at the cross. As has been stated numerous times already, forgiveness of sin was always available to the repentant and it did not take the brutal murder of the Son of God in order to obtain forgiveness of sin. Nor was Yahshua sent as a sacrifice to turn away the wrath of God or what is it we don’t understand about ‘For God so LOVED the world…..’ Where’s the wrath here that was supposedly turned away? It was not that God had animosity towards us, it was that we had animosity towards God. Can you see the difference?</div>

John’s baptism for the remission of sin happened at least 3 and half years before the cross and John’s baptism required NO BLOOD. And yes it was just as viable then as later.</div>
<div class="kmsgtext" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: tinos-1, tinos-2, sans-serif; font-size: 16.9617px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.1387px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

So what did John the Baptist say concerning the mission of the Messiah? ‘He shall baptize YOU with Holy Spirit and Fire.’ This was the purpose of the cross not forgiveness of sin. This is what changed, now we can have the Holy Spirit abiding within us where as previously this was not possible. Even as Yahshua said ‘He has been with you, but now He shall be in You.</div>

On account of ‘lawlessness’ the love of many will wax cold. Oh my, what’s this? Yahshua is saying that they who have forsaken the Law of God have very cold hearts toward Him, why? Without the Law of God in our heart there can be no love abiding there. The Law of God and the Love of God is synonymous, you can’t have one without the other. Ouch! Ouch for those that follow Paul. So can you see who Yahshua is referring to here, those that forsake the Law, those that work to negate the Law are in fact the bitter enemies of the one they profess to love and adore.</div>

In the years to come and yes there will be years to come, you and I and all who have come out of Pauline Christianity will be known as ‘forerunner’s’ and forerunners are indeed YHVH’s special forces, messengers of truth, and this is the work of YHVH. Think about it for a minute, the True Gospel that was taught by Yahshua has been virtually lost for 2000 years until now. What a magnificent work the Father has placed in our hands.</div>

When Yahshua looked out over the great harvest he was not looking at a people who were totally ignorant to YHVH, I mean come on, these folks were raised with the Torah. But like us they had fallen under the spell of religion, and they like us were deceived by their leaders. Those leaders of Judea were the Paulinists of their day. They had supplanted the Torah, the Word of God with the “Traditions of the Elders’ the word of man. We are living in a mirror image of that time.</div>

He sent forth His Word and healed them, ‘The Sun of Righteousness rising with healing in His wings’ this is a promise to those who will yield to implanted Word of Truth that was sown in them. YHVH is my shepherd. Think about it, the Word of Truth is my Shepherd, think about it, the Word of Truth is the Lamb of God. Now you know what was slain before the foundation of the world, The Word of truth. Now the Lamb of God only takes away the sin of the world IN those that follow Him.</div>

The healing power of the Commandments as they are hand written upon your heart and mind are so powerfully manifest. Wings always speak of the Commandments and again there is awesome healing power for the soul as those Commandments are hand written upon the heart. I mean every time YHVH does this you are literally LIT up inside and anything that is dark or darkness is revealed in that light and you have a choice at that moment and yes it’s only a moment, you have a choice to either flee with the darkness or stand firm in the light like Moses did. If you choose to stand you will experience the most profound healing that you never knew could possibly exist.</div>

To bind the strong man, to bind the lying spirit. Paul is a manifestation of the dragon, and guess what? It’s YHVH Himself that plucks this critter out of us, first He exposes it, yeah, there’s a dragon working in us before this happens and yes, I’ve seen it. It makes you sick that this thing was hiding deep within, it’s a lying voice that mimics the Holy Spirit speaking forth the dribble of Paul and lawlessness, it abides in our ignorance.</div>

Paul is to the Christian what Pharaoh was to the Israelites, Pharaoh the Great Dragon’ the father of lies so to speak. Paul and Pharaoh, both of them exalted themselves way above and beyond the Father Himself, way beyond all that YHVH has ever spoken. YHVH said He would jerk the great dragon up out of the Nile/spirit with ALL the fish/lies of his scales sticking to him. Think about it, when you are thoroughly purged of all things Paul and Christian, so in effect there is a second deliverance from Pharaoh. Gee, where do we see that Great Dragon again? Perhaps Revelation 12?</div>

Now this is something for those that are not living in the box of religion, and that is this, Angels are simply messengers, that’s the definition of the word, which is why John the Baptist was called THE MESSENGER OF THE COVENANT even the angel of the Covenant. So why is it so far fetched that in Rev 12 that the angels of the dragon are simply Christian messengers preaching Paul? Or that the angels of Michael are simply those who war with the messengers of Paul.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: tinos-1, tinos-2, sans-serif; font-size: 16.9617px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27.1387px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Again is it so far fetched that the angels referred to in the parable of the wheat and the tares are in reality those with the Word of Truth, those that are exposing the dragon/Paul and leading others into the the truth about the Kingdom of Heaven, into the truth about the original Gospel that was taught by Yahshua. Really is it so far fetched. I ask because this is apparently what is happening before our very eyes. I am not eliminating angelic beings, our allies in this war, just expanding a little.</div>

Quite frankly in my opinion there is a simultaneous event that occurs as we bring Pauline doctrine into the light in others. And as they understand the truth and turn back to YHVH there is a deliverance from anti-christ and another dragon is thrust out of heaven.</div>

So let me say this about binding the strong man, it is the Fear of YHVH that binds the strong man and drives him out. It’s an all or nothing event.</div>

<span style="font-weight: bold;"><big><big>Preface</big></big><br /><br />The following statements from Paul's letters are symptomatic of deep differences between the doctrines of Paul and Jesus -- much as a fever is symptomatic of an infection in the body. You can read a discussion of their differences in <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://voiceofjesus.org/b2tableofcontents.html">Paul: the Stranger</a>, </span>my book that exposes Paul as a liar and a false prophet who did not know Jesus. The most significant difference is in their salvation doctrines as derived from their interpretations of the crucifixion. In these fundamental areas, Paul's errors and false gospel are obvious to anyone who follows Jesus as teacher and listens carefully to Jesus' words. Very seldom does anyone in Christendom so listen to Jesus as to receive his Word of Truth, even though the gospels repeatedly quote his Word. The reason? The churchmen get to everyone first with false Pauline doctrine, which then stands between them and Jesus, blocking the Light. His words come through but not his message. My hope is that this list will motivate you to remove the blindfold and see the Good Shepherd as he is. Your eternal salvation depends on it! So, do not listen to me or anyone other than Jesus if you would receive eternal life. Here is the key, from his pure lips:</span><br />

<big><big><span style="font-weight: bold;"><small><small><br />This list is surely not complete, for it is very easy to overlook Paul's contradictory and/or incompatible statements. Therefore, I offer it as a beginning and invite all who see omissions to bring them to my attention via <a href="mailto:ed@voiceofjesus.org">email</a>.<br /><br />On January 21, 2006, Contradiction No. 10 that was placed in error was replaced by another of Paul's many contradictions, <a href="http://www.voiceofjesus.org/paulvsjesus.html#ondying">this on dying</a>. A Christian who has critiqued this page and disputed every one of the listed contradictions took the time to compose a detailed refutation of each of the twenty-five on the list. You can find my response <a href="http://www.voiceofjesus.org/jesusandpaul.html">http://www.voiceofjesus.org/paulvsjesus.html</a>. I am indebted to him for disclosing to us that the prior No. 10 was erroneous. </small></small></span></big></big></div>

<b>I would like to share with you why I, personally, have come to the conclusion that Paul's theology differs substantially from the faith of<i>Jesus</i>*, and therefore cannot be considered Christian. What follows is the result of many years of study and inner struggle.<br /><br />I assure you that when I first addressed the issue of the validity of Paul's apostleship, it was very difficult for me to find the courage to disagree with what everyone seemed to accept as the truth. I'm happy to say that the effort proved worthwhile, and that I became more focused and less confused once I made the difficult transition from being a Pauline Christian to a Messianic/Jewish Christian, along the lines of the Jesus's successor, James the Just.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
<b>There are two flaws with Paul's approach: the first being that it is not based on the teaching of Jesus, and the second being that it is designed to propagate a mixture of superstitious belief and secular humanistic practice.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
<b>Paul's letters display a remarkable degree of ignorance about Jesus the man, and his teaching. The entire corpus of Paul's letters contains two historical facts about Jesus: that he was crucified, and that he had a brother named James. Paul seems content with his ignorance, stating "knowledge puffeth up" (1 Corinthians 8:1).</b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
<b>Jesus spent years living with and teaching a group of twelve Apostles. Paul's attitude towards these Apostles can be found in the following passage from Galatians: "But though we, or an angel of heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. . . . For I neither received [the gospel] from man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. . . . I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it . . . But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb . . . To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. But other of the apostles I saw none, save James the Lord's brother. Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not. Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia" Galatians 1:8-21.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
<b>As this passage makes clear, Paul did not avail himself of the opportunity to learn from those whom Jesus taught face to face. Paul instead claimed that his revelation came directly from God, making instruction from humans unnecessary for him. Given this attitude, it would not be surprising if Paul did more talking than listening during the fifteen days he spent with Peter. It will become clear that he was unable or unwilling to eliminate contradictions between his own doctrine and that of Jesus. It is surprising that someone who had chosen a profession of lifelong ministry should fail to avail himself of the opportunity to learn from those who had been taught by Jesus himself. Paul's approach to the Apostles that the visible Jesus chose can be found in the following passages. Paul sneers the three chief Apostles: James, Cephas (i.e. Simon Peter) and John, saying that they "seemed to be pillars" Galatians 2:9. Paul publicly rebukes Peter (Galatians 2:14), scolds Barnabas (Galatians 2:13), and claims "For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles" 2 Corinthians 11:5. And in 2 Corinthians 12:11, Paul claims, "in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing."</b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
<b>Jesus' attitude towards the twelve Apostles was different. "Then answered Peter, and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel" Matthew 19:27-28.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
<b>Paul clearly felt that the personal revelation that he experienced was of greater value than the years of instruction that the Apostles received from Jesus himself. To test the validity of this assertion, it is necessary to compare Paul's teaching with that of Jesus. If, in fact, Paul's teaching turns out to be a natural extension of that of Jesus, in the same way that a fully grown tree is the natural extension of a sapling, then there may be validity to his belief. If, however, the voice or spirit that Paul thinks communicated with him is unreliable, then we should expect to see Paul choosing a different path than the one Jesus chose.</b></div>

<b>"For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself." Galatians 5:14, also see Romans 13:9, in which the sentiment is repeated. Gamaliel, the Pharisee, Hillel the Pharisee's grandson, taught the same thing. Hillel was one of the founding fathers of Phariseeism, and is favorably mentioned in the Talmud.</b></div>

<b>"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt 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 shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." Matthew 22:37-40. Also see Mark 12:29-31.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
<b>This is the most glaring contradiction between the teaching of Paul and Jesus. On this issue, Paul sides with the Pharisees, who behaved as though they were more afraid of the Roman conquerors of Israel than of God. Thus, those parts of the Law which demanded holiness were weakened, while new rules were created to convince people to submit to secular authorities. Based on the general direction that Paul took religion, it is most likely that the omission of an explicit command to love God was deliberate.</b></div>

But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and handmaids. Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth."

Now Hagar . . . corresponds with the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman. It was for freedom that Christ has set us free.

<b>The escaped slave Onesimus is probably wondering how to avoid "letting [himself] be burdened by a yoke of slavery" when the person who gave that advice, Paul, re-enslaved him, and returned him to his ex-master. Had Paul been under the covenant of Moses, which he likened to slavery, then Paul could not have returned the escaped slave Onesimus back to his master Philemon. However, because Paul was free, a "child of the free woman," his freedom freed him to return Onesimus to slavery. Onesimus, being a Pauline Christian, was, by Paul's reckoning, also a "child of the freewoman." Therefore, "All things are permissible to [him]" (1 Corinthians 6:12), except disobedience to his master (Ephesians 6:5) or to governing authorities generally (Romans 13:1-4). Under these constraints, Onesimus is not the servant of God, but the slave of man.</b></div>

In Galatians 5:1, Paul states that "It was for freedom that Christ has set us free" even though his passage 1 Corinthians 7:20-24 states "he who was a free man when he was called is Christ's slave."

Contemporaries had described James as a man of exceptional holiness, a man who prayed so often that the skin on his knees began to resemble a camel's hide. When Paul, in Galatians 1:8, wrote "But though we, or an angel of heaven, preach any other gospel unto you . . ." it is most likely that James was the "angel of heaven" that Paul had in mind. James did not mention the work he had done for God, choosing instead to follow the teaching of Jesus, to "not let the left hand know what the right hand is doing."</b></div>

<b>To find information about Paul the man, one can turn to the book of Acts, the Clementines, Paul's letters, and the histories of Josephus. Of the four historians, Josephus appears to have the most knowledge, writes with the most detail, and is the author about whom the most is known. Like most writers of the time, he often chooses to whitewash Roman misdeeds. When "The Jewish War" was written, Josephus had reason to fear execution at the hands of the Romans. Consequently, the book must be dismissed as a piece of pro-Roman propaganda. His later works were written after his adoption into the royal family, and in "Antiquities" he displays a moderate level of willingness to examine Roman and Herodian misconduct.</b></div>

<b>Interestingly, none of these four sources state that Paul was martyred. There is support for the idea in apocryphal Gentile Christian literature of the time. It is perhaps advisable to read such literature fully before giving wholesale credence to its assertions. In one case, the same work that declares Paul to have been martyred also claims that he baptized a lion, and that the animal spoke to him, going so far as to have a short conversation about how the lion had been captured.</b></div>

<b>The book of Acts was written by Luke. Luke was a follower of Paul, could write in Greek, and was perhaps from Cyrene. Beyond this, nothing is known about him.</b></div>

<b>Luke paints a picture of a Paul who is born poor, martyrs Christians before becoming one himself, and who proceeds to live the rest of his life for Christ. Acts attributes several miracles to Paul. The Clementines follow the same basic story line as the first part of Acts, but with some key differences. James is elected the head of the Christian Church following the departure of Jesus. After his conversion, Paul remained on good terms with the Herodian family. He initiated a physical attack on James, in which James was cast down from the Temple stairs, and left for dead. There was, of course, no understanding between Paul and the main Church, and no one gave him permission to preach to the Gentiles.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
<b>The first part of the Book of Acts appears to be a rewritten version of an early version of the Clementines. The Clementines presents the Jewish Christian side of the Early Church's history, and Acts presents the Pauline view. Josephus tells the story from the perspective of one who has taken neither side. Josephus's Saulus is a descendent of Herod's brother, and hence is a free-born Roman citizen. Saulus's house arrests were relatively mild affairs, done primarily to protect him from those who had sworn to kill him. Saulus was on bad terms with king Aretas, because Saulus had supported the killer of John the Baptist (Herod Antipas) in his war against King Aretas. As a result of this disagreement, Saulus was not safe in King Aretas's domains, and, at one point, had to escape the city of Damascus by being let down in a basket. For more information about the Herodian family in general, or Paul in particular, see Robert Eisenman's "James the Brother of Jesus."</b></div>

<b>Josephus's account provides a more comprehensive and consistent explanation of Paul's background than does Luke's. Hillel was one of the most famous Pharisees of all time. His grandson, Gamaliel, was Paul's boyhood teacher. Luke says nothing about how a poor tentmaker's son from somewhere in Turkey could possibly have acquired such a famous teacher. Likewise, there is no mention of why or how Paul was "freeborn" into full Roman citizenship, at a time when the distinction was rare. There is also no explanation of how Paul acquired authority-which he clearly had-to kill Christians (Acts 7:58, 22:20). That a young man should have such power is surprising, that a young man born into a poor and obscure family should have such power is absurd. A more logical and consistent explanation of the facts is the one Josephus provides: Paul was born into a rich and powerful family, was given instruction from the most prestigious Pharisee available, and was later, because of his family connections, given power to persecute Christians in whatever manner he pleased.</b></div>

<b>This statement echoes back to the riots of the 60s. In these riots, slaves of the Rich High Priests robbed the Poor Lower Priests of tithes that were rightfully theirs. The riots were violent affairs, and some of the Poor Lower Priests were killed. According to Josephus, Saulus actively participated in, and indeed lead, these riots-on behalf of the Rich High Priests. These riots, incidentally, took place well after Saulus's/Paul's Damascus road experience.</b></div>

<b>Even a casual perusal of the works of Pauline Christians reveals a disturbing willingness to bend or stretch the truth to gain converts. Because they felt belief to be the necessary and sufficient condition for salvation, they exhibited a strong willingness to fabricate tall tales about miracles that strain credulity. In the Acts of Paul and Thecla (which are a subset of the Acts of Paul), a lovely virgin heroine is cast nearly naked into a stadium, and requires several consecutive very public miracles to rescue her, including help from a mysteriously benevolent lion (perhaps the same one Paul baptized). In several of the infancy gospels, Jesus miraculously killed a boy who had accidentally banged into him. He turned clay pigeons into real birds, for no apparent reason other than that it was the Sabbath. Jesus exhibited a strong willingness to miraculously kill or maim those who disagreed with him, healing people only when doing so would solidify his own social position. Few, if any, of the miracles discussed in these books have moral meaning, the apparent purpose instead being to demonstrate raw power. The efficacy of these works in gaining converts was surprisingly high: there were many who had converted simply on the strength of what they had read in an infancy gospel. Many of these works can be found in "The Other Bible," a compilation of various apocryphal writings.</b></div>

<b>Apart from the testimony of those actively engaged in marketing Paul's religion, there is no historical evidence to support the contention that Paul's life was marked by any unusual degree of holiness or personal rectitude.

<b>There are genuine, real, and, to some extent, quantifiable consequences to the acceptance of Paul's teaching. In Germany, for example, the Lutherans tended to regard the Old Testament as obsolete. During the early- to mid-twentieth century, there was an effort under way to eliminate it from the Bible. This view, which appears to have been shared throughout Germany, had two important consequences, the first being anti-Semitism. Paul wrote "[the Jews] killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and also drove us out. They displease God and are the enemies of the whole human race" (1 Thessalonians 2:14-16). According to James, a different group is responsible for the death of Jesus: "Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for the miseries that shall come upon you. . . . Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you." It is clear that the "Rich"--that is, the Herodian family and its Pharisaic allies--were responsible for the death of Jesus. Paul's view had, in Germany, been popular from at least the time of Martin Luther all the way through Hitler's day. The second consequence of relying so strongly on Paul's writings was that the Germans uncritically accepted Hitler's dictatorship. William Shirer, in his 1400 page tome The Rise and the Fall of the Third Reich, states (pp 326-327),</b></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; border-left-color: rgb(252, 226, 124); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 5px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin: 1em 3em; padding: 0.5em 1em;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
<b>It is difficult to understand the behavior most German Protestants in the first Nazi years unless one is aware of two things: their history and the influence of Martin Luther. [At this point, Shirer writes, in a footnote "To avoid any misunderstanding, it might be well to point out here that the author is a Protestant."] The great founder of Protestantism was both a passionate anti-Semite and a ferocious believer in absolute obedience to political authority. He wanted Germany rid of the Jews and when they were sent away he advised that they be deprived of "All their cash and jewels and silver and gold" and furthermore, "that their synagogues or schools be set on fire, that their houses be broken up and destroyed . . . and that they be put under a roof or stable, like the gypsies . . . in misery and captivity as they incessantly lament and complain to God about us" -advice that was literally followed four centuries later by Hitler, Goering, and Himmler. In what was perhaps the only popular revolt in German history, the peasant uprising of 1525, Luther advised the princes to adopt the most ruthless measures against the "mad dogs," as he called the desperate, downtrodden peasants. Here, as in his utterances about the Jews, Luther employed a coarseness and brutality of language unequalled in German history until the Nazi time.</b></div>

<b>Luther wanted the Book of James and the Book of Revelation eliminated from the New Testament. Not coincidentally, these books display the least Pauline influence of any books in the New Testament. That Luther envisioned a world in which the secular authorities are free to brutally exploit the populace, and in which Jews are driven away or killed, is clear. That these attitudes have their root in Paul's writings is equally clear.</b></div>

<b>Most of Paul's new commands are reciprocal, if not conditional. His command to wives that they obey their husbands like Christ is somewhat balanced by his command to husbands that they love their wives. While Paul, unlike the Law of Moses, does not command slave owners to release their slaves, he asks them to exercise moderation when threatening slaves. While these commands are reciprocal, they are not conditional: slaves must still obey their masters even if the masters are wholly unreasonable, wives must still obey their husbands "as Christ" no matter how the husband chooses to act.</b></div>

<b>Romans 13:1-4 is neither reciprocal nor conditional: it simply commands obedience to whatever secular authorities command, and such commands are labeled "ordinances of God." Anyone who resists secular authority, for any reason whatsoever, will receive eternal condemnation. Like Paul's other new commands, this is not conditional: people must obey secular authorities, even when secular authorities are clearly giving evil commands. The principle difference is the lack of reciprocity: there is nothing that commands secular authorities to exercise moderation, justice, or any other moral principle. It is not surprising that nearly every society that has taken Paul as its primary spiritual authority has adopted political tyranny and governmental brutality. Such societies include Germany from Luther to Hitler, Czarist Russia, the and slaveholding tidewater South.</b></div>

<b>Total governmental brutality did not end in any of these societies until Paul's teaching was moderated by some other influence. In the Cavalier South, the Enlightenment produced new ideas, eventually culminating in the Declaration of Independence. In Germany, political pressure from Marxist industrial workers forced Bismark to institute needed reforms. In Czarist Russia, Marxist pressure went even further, producing a new government which became the worst mass murderer in the world's history.</b></div>

<b>In the coastal portions of the American South, during the 1600s and 1700s, the Anglican Church (which is the only church that had been allowed to exist) based its teaching primarily around Paul's writings. Slavery was a natural extension of the social structure that had, for hundreds of years, employed a high degree of social stratification. Indentured servants were, practically speaking, white slaves. Even while still in England, the Cavaliers preserved a greater degree of stratification, in both wealth and social status, than was common among the Puritans, Quakers, or even the Borderers.</b></div>

<b>The Puritans, on the other hand, tended to use all the parts of the Bible about equally, and did not come under excessive Pauline influence. They did not keep slaves. In the migrations from England to America, the Puritans deliberately discouraged those who were very rich or very poor from moving to the Puritan settlements. Thus, they created a society in which economic and social class distinctions were more muted, and therefore less important. The fact that the pressure to "keep up with the Joneses" had been reduced freed people to more fully focus on loving God, and doing His will. Also, it is easier to love one's neighbor when there is less competition.</b></div>

<b>The Puritans built a society in which tyranny was greatly discouraged. Not only was a husband not allowed to strike his wife, he was not even allowed to insult her. One man had told his wife "you are nothing but a servant." Some thirty of his neighbors took this man to court, and, despite his wife's refusal to press charges, he received a hefty fine. Rape was punishable by death.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
<b>In contrast, the coastal South (i.e., the coastal portions of Maryland and Virginia) tended to turn a blind eye to rape. If a woman indentured servant became pregnant, her servitude was extended. Therefore, it was fairly common for the masters of women indentured servants to rape them, for the purpose of extending their servitude. The courts tended to be hesitant about pressing charges against such rapes.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;">
<b>On the few occasions that they did so, the fines were moderate. In one instance (not involving indentured servants), the same court meted out the following rulings. One person was convicted of stealing pigs, and was killed by hanging. Another was convicted of scolding, and received a five shilling fine. A third was convicted of raping an eleven year old girl, and was fined one shilling.</b></div>

<b>Paul, in Romans 7:19-20, wrote, "For I fail to practice the good deeds I desire to do, but the evil deeds I do not desire to do are what I am [ever] doing. Now if I do what I do not desire to do, it is no longer I doing it, but the sin which dwells within me." The diaries of the Cavalier men reveal a similar pattern of evil deeds followed by feeling sorry. The median aristocratic married man tended to engage in a pattern of rape, or at least adultery, followed by a brief period of regret. This regret seemed to vanish whenever the next sexual opportunity appeared: a different woman every week or two was considered fairly normal. For more information, read "Albion's Seed, Four British Folkways in America." The book was written by a southerner, and presents an intelligent, well written account of the weaknesses and strengths of America's four main regional cultures.</b></div>

<b>Despite its flaws, the tidewater South had strengths unique to itself. In some ways, it encouraged a more balanced and more whole way of life than the Puritans. At their best, the Cavaliers produced such towering giants as George Washington, one of history's truly great men. Washington could have engaged in brutal sexual or economic exploitation--with few if any economic or social penalties--but he chose not to. Instead, he achieved sophistication, intellectual achievement, cultural awareness, courage, decorum, and honor. He was the embodiment of the tidewater South at its best: in his person, the region's weaknesses were muted, its strengths magnified.</b></div>

<b>Most people cannot rise to the level of greatness achieved by Washington. The tidewater South encouraged marital fidelity among females, but not males. This sexual "double standard" existed among Cavaliers, but not Puritans. The results of eliminating sexual norms for males proved horrifying. Rape was so common in colonial tidewater Maryland and Virginia that one common folk saying defined a virgin as a girl that could run faster than her uncle.</b></div>

<b>C.S. Lewis once wrote that the teachings of Jesus tend to be harsh, and that Paul's writings soften their impact. This is true. But is it good? Do you want those in power to be held accountable to a high moral standard with harsh penalties, or a low moral standard with slap-on-the-wrist penalties? If a man is deciding whether to rape his niece, is it more beneficial for him to read "All things are permissible" (1 Corinthians 6:12) or "Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire." (Matthew 7:19)?</b></div>

<b>James the Just, in James 1:12, stated that salvation belongs to those who love God, who are patient under trial, and who stand up under temptation. Jesus stated that the most important command contained in the Law is the duty to love God with all your heart. Yes, the duty to love God--a duty which Paul omitted from his teaching--is more difficult than merely believing. Real Christianity is a hard road to follow, certainly harder than the salvation through belief that Paul preached.</b></div>

<b>Jesus and James asked for more than just belief. They asked for more than just a love for neighbor. They asked people to love God, to love Him passionately, to love Him so deeply that patience under trial and the resistance of temptation would inevitably follow. Yes, good works could be expected to follow too. But, in their eyes, the key, the cornerstone, the seed, the necessary and the sufficient condition for salvation is a passionate, whole-hearted love for God.</b></div>

<b>While the choice is not easy, the right answer is clear. A society that bases its actions upon justice, upon love of God, and upon a genuine respect and love of neighbor will be a more peaceful, more equitable, more fair place to live than a society that believes works to be irrelevant, exploitation normal, and holiness a quaint fancy.</b></div>

<b>Paul rejected the authority of the Apostles that Jesus appointed, and the Apostles that Jesus appointed rejected Paul. Paul lacked authority to preach, and his own letters make it clear that he did not possess a letter of recommendation from the authorities that Jesus instituted. Jesus did not institute the Twelve Apostles as a means of personal amusement or to fill his idle time; he did so to protect the Church from idle, heretical, or blasphemous doctrines. He did so with the intention of creating an institution that would preserve correct teaching. Paul chose to go outside of this institution, without a letter of recommendation, and without benefiting himself from its teaching or instruction. Not only do Paul's writings lack consistency or reliability, they cannot be considered Christian.</b></div>

Paul directly contradicts the Messiah on the number and division of "teachers" and <br />
"pastors".<br />
<br />
In <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+23&version=NIV">Matthew 23:8</a> Yahushua the Messiah states: <i>"But you are not to be called 'Rabbi',<b><u> for you have one Teacher</u></b>, and you are all brothers."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
In <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+10%3A16&version=ESV">John 10:16</a>, the Messiah states that he is the one and true Shepherd: <i>"And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. <b><u>So there will be one flock, one shepherd</u></b>."</i><br />
<br />
In <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+12%3A28&version=NIV">1 Corinthians 12:28</a> Saul contradicts the teaching the Messiah, saying: <i>"And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers". </i><br />
<br />
And again in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+4%3A11&version=NIV">Ephesians 4:11</a> Paul states: <i>"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; <b><u>and some, pastors and teachers</u></b>."</i><br />

The Messiah instructed his true 12 Apostles that they should not be paid for their preaching of the gospel.<br />
<br />
In <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+10%3A8&version=KJV">Matthew 10:8</a> the Messiah states: <i>"Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: <b><u>freely ye have received, freely give</u></b>." </i><br />
<br />
In <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+9%3A14+&version=NIV">1 Corinthians 9:14 </a> Paul contradicts this teaching of the Messiah, saying: <i>"the Lord has commanded that <b><u>those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel</u></b>." </i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Summary:</u></b><br />
<br />
According to the Messiah, his disciples and followers have only one teacher, the Messiah himself. He is the only true Shepherd and Pastor of His sheep. All who follow Him are brothers and sisters, with no division between them. Their is to be no hierarchy among the congregation of believers, with certain people obtaining higher status, rank, and titles and dictating doctrine to the "lowly lay followers". And according to the Messiah, those among the congregation who preach the gospel are to do so freely, not asking for monetary compensation, and certainly not making their living by preaching. <br />
<br />
As anyone can see, 99.9% of modern-day so-called "Christians" have rejected the plain teachings of the Messiah. As with most other points of doctrine, they have chosen to follow the false teachings of the false apostle and false prophet Saul of Tarsus. Once again, Paul taught in 180 degree opposition to the Messiah, teaching that there are "many teachers" and other "pastors" in the "church", and that preachers should "receive their living from the gospel". It is a mockery of the truth and insult to the Messiah to refer to preachers as "pastors", when the Messiah is the one and only true pastor or shepherd. Modern-day "Christians" embrace Saul's doctrine of following men (and not the Messiah) as their "teachers" and "pastors", and paying them for it. This has resulted in the apostate "Churchianity" that we see today. There are over 30,000 denominations worldwide. The sheep are following a multitude of false teachers and preachers who are corrupted by the love of money, instead of following their one and only true teacher and shepherd, the Messiah. <br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">The reason why the false shepherds are allowed to be here is to test and prove us.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">This is the reason why saul of tarsus's writings were allowed to stand in YEHWEH Elohiym's set apart word and to stand with His set apart people.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The bottom line is saul came with a pathway that draws those who follow him out from the pathway that YEHWEH gave us to walk with Him on.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Saul's fruit is the one third of the world who claims that you are following our Messiah but are in fact following what saul of tarsus's deemed as his "more excellent pathway" instead.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The reality is, this one third of the world uses saul's writings to justify your rebellion to the Most High's straight and narrow pathway.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">You use his writings to justify your rebellion to the Most High's Torah.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Yehshua said that we can know the wolves that are dressed in sheep's clothing by their fruits.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">And He told us that their fruits would be violation of His Father's Torah.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">This is so plain and so simple.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">It is willful rebellion to the Most High's word to try to defend saul's teachings by saying that he was difficult to understand or some other nonsense.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">His fruit plainly testifies against him that he is a wolf.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">On his death bed, in a prophecy that Jacob gave to his sons telling them what would befall them in the last days, concerning Benjamin he said;</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Genesis 49:27</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: purple;"><strong><u><span style="background-color: lime;">BENJAMIN WILL RAVEN AS A WOLF</span></u></strong><strong><span style="background-color: lime;">:</span> </strong><strong><u>IN THE MORNING</u></strong><strong> </strong><strong><u>HE WILL DEVOUR THE PREY</u></strong><strong> </strong><strong><u>AND AT NIGHT </u></strong><strong><u>HE WILL DIVIDE THE SPOIL</u></strong><strong>.</strong></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Saul himself boasted that he was from the tribe of Benjamin, he said;</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>....because I am also an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, </strong><strong><u>OF THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN.</u></strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><u><br /></u></strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">And he is not the only saul that was of the tribe of Benjamin.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">So was Israel's 1<sup>st</sup> king, king saul.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">In lieu of this prophecy about Benjamin ravening like a wolf, do you think that it is a coincidence that our Messiah told us that that the wolves would bring forth violation to His Father's Torah?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Yehshua told us that because of these false shepherds, not only would violation of His Father's Torah abound, the love of many for His Father, meaning the love of many for His Father's true righteous character would wax cold.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">This is not complicated.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Just look at saul's fruit.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">His fruit is his bottom line.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">

<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">He did so to test and prove those who rose up above saul's lies to become His First Fruits.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Fourth Beast of Daniel's Vision</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Paul suggests that each man can do as he pleases in regards to YHWH’s laws regarding diet, the feasts, and the Sabbath.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians+2%3A16&version=KJV">Colossians 2:16</a><br />
<br />
<i>“Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.”</i><br />
<i><br /></i><i><br /></i>
In regard to the above passage (concerning "questions of food and drink"), note and remember that <a href="http://false-apostle-paul-archive.blogspot.com/2015/05/paul-says-that-eating-meat-sacrificed.html">Paul taught that eating meat sacrificed to idols was acceptable</a>, in direct contradiction to the commandment of the Heavenly Father and the Messiah.<br />
<br />
There is ample evidence that Saul lead the founding of the Roman Catholic Church, given that he had many followers in Rome, and reportedly died in Rome. Nevertheless, it is clear that the false teachings and pagan doctrines of Paul at some point took supremacy in the Roman Catholic Church.<br />
<br />
Is it any wonder, then, that modern "Christianity" has thought they had the power to "change the Sabbath" from the 7th day of the week as commanded by the Father (to Sunday, a day venerating the Sun). Or that they have rejected the feast days commanded by the Heavenly Father in the Old Testament, in instead follow pagan holidays and customs, such as "Christmas" (Saturnalia, winter solstice celebration) and "Easter" (worship of the pagan goddess Ishtar). <br />
<br />
This attack on the Sabbath and the true holy days of the Most High reminds me of the vision by Daniel, regarding the fourth beast that makes war against the Heavenly Father and his saints, and "thinks to change times and laws."<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+7&version=KJV">Daniel 7:25</a> "<i>And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws"</i><br />
<br />
Could this "fourth beast" be the Roman Empire or the Roman Catholic Church? <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666;">The Israelites practicing idolatry</span></b></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1 Corinthians, Paul says that eating meat sacrificed to idols is acceptable for "Christians" and does them no harm, since they "have knowledge" that an idol does not really exist.<br />
<br />
Here is what Saul says in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+8&version=NIV">1 Corinthians 8:1-13</a>:<br />
<br />
<i>"Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that “We all possess knowledge.” But knowledge puffs up while love builds up. 2 Those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know. 3 But whoever loves God is known by God.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>4 <b>So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world”</b> and that “There is no God but one.” 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”), 6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>7 But not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. 8 <b>But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.</b></i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>9 <b>Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights</b> does not become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols? 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall."</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Eating meat sacrificed to idols, of course, is against the law of the Most High, and is condemned by the Messiah in Revelation 2:14, when speaking to the church at Pergamum. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+2%3A14&version=NIV">Revelation 2:14</a><br />
<br />
<i>Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: There are some among you who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin so that they ate food sacrificed to idols and committed sexual immorality.
</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
To summarize...as an agent of Satan sent to infiltrate and destroy the true Law and teachings of the Most High from within, Saul of Tarsus cleverly taught his followers to disobey and disregard the commandments of the Heavenly Father and the Messiah. He taught that the Law had been "abolished". (see <a href="http://biblehub.com/ephesians/2-15.htm">Ephesians 2:15</a>: <i>"He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations.")</i><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Council of Nicea, 325 A.D.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
One of the most popular arguments of those who defend Saul of Tarsus is to claim that the book we call "The Bible" is "inerrant" -- not corrupted in any way, with every word being the 100% revealed word from the Most High. <br />
<br />
But is that really true? It is absolutely true that any words spoken by the Heavenly Father or Messiah are 100% truthful and inerrant. The question, therefore, is whether all of the words recorded in the book we call "The Bible" actually came from the Most High.<br />
<br />
First, one must recognize that there are many different "Bibles". Roman Catholic and Protestant Bibles, for example, significantly differ from each other. The Catholic Bible includes several "Apocryphal" books that Protestants have excluded - included the books of Judith and the Maccabees. There are other "Apocryphal" book that have been rejected by both Catholics and Protestants -- including the First and Second books of Esdras, the book of Enoch, and many more.<br />
<br />
Although there is disagreement among Christians as to exactly whom decided what books to be included in the book called "The Bible" (with some claiming it was decided upon at the First Council of Nicea in 325 AD, an assembly of supposed "bishops" gathered by Roman Emperor Constantine), it seems clear that the Roman Catholic Church was largely responsible. <br />
<br />
Most seekers of truth today who are genuinely attempting to follow the Most High have discovered that the Roman Catholic Church is <i>extremely </i>corrupt, is heavily rooted in Babylonian and other occult doctrines and practices, and was actually a great work of Satan (part of "Mystery Bablyon the Great") to take over and corrupt the true message from the Messiah and Heavenly Father.<br />
<br />
So who decided and gets to decide whether the book of Maccabees or any other book is "divinely inspired canon scripture" or not? Groups of men made that decision. And who is right? Should the book of Maccabees be "canon scripture" or not? Either it is or it isn't. Someone is wrong. <br />
<br />
Man is fallible. Given this, is it possible that the groups of men who decided upon the books to be included in "The Bible" made <i>many other errors</i>? Or is it even possible that many were agents of the Enemy and knowingly have attempted to corrupt the true message by including books of false teachers? Of course it is. Not only likely, but very probable. <br />
<br />
Crony bishops of the Roman Emperor and Catholic Church decided to include and exclude certain books in the 4th, 5th, and 6th centuries A.D. And then the Protestants decided in the 16th and 17th centuries to exclude some of books that the Catholics include. Who is to say, then, that those of us living today do not have the authority to further judge and decide which books should be included or excluded? Do we have any less authority than those who lived 300 years ago, or 1,500 years ago?<br />
<br />
When you boil it all down, every individual on this planet must use their own intellectual ability and free will to judge for themselves whether a specific teacher or supposed "prophet" is true or not. It would be great folly for anyone to blindly follow tradition, and the decisions of <i>other men</i> in these matters of great importance. <br />
<br />
As I mentioned in <a href="http://false-apostle-paul-archive.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-false-prophet-saul-of-tarsus-is.html">another article</a> on this website, the Most High states in Deuteronomy chapter 13 that he sends false prophets among the people of Israel as a "test", in order to find out whom among His people truly love Him. <br />
<br />
Once we decide to utilize that judgement, and not blindly follow tradition, we discover that there is overwhelming evidence to conclude, without any doubt whatsoever, that Saul of Tarsus is a false prophet and false apostle.<br />
<br />
And related to the writings of Saul/Paul and the New Testament exclusively, let me also add here that we must also carefully examine the books of Acts, the book of Luke, and the book of Mark. Who were the men who wrote these books? It is generally agreed that Luke wrote the book of Acts. Who was Luke? He was not one of the twelve apostles chosen by the Messiah. He was actually a disciple and follower of Saul/Paul! Luke accompanied Saul/Paul on his various journeys. And Mark was not one of the twelve disciples either. Knowing this, what authority is there for regarding the writings of Luke or Mark to be "inerrant canon scripture"? There is none. Having stated all that, however, this does not mean that everything that Luke or Mark wrote is false. Most of it may be accurate and useful for historical reference. But it should not be considered "divinely inspired". Only to the extent that Luke or Mark may have accurately quoted the words of the Messiah would anything they wrote down be "divinely inspired". <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Upon discovering the argument that Saul of Tarsus is a false apostle, many must wonder to themselves, "why were Saul's writings allowed to be included in the Bible?". <br />
<br />
Is it possible that the Heavenly Father would allow his true word, laws, and religion to be corrupted? <br />
<br />
Look back to the early history of the Israelites in the land of Canaan as recorded in the Old Testament. Were the true laws and religion given by the Creator corrupted back then? Yes they were. And so it is the same all down through history since that time until today.<br />
<br />
As revealed in the Word, the Most High allows false teachers and doctrines to be introduced as a TEST, to find out who among his people truly love Him and will be found worthy to inherit eternal life.<br />
<br />
Read carefully the true word from the Most High:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+13%3A1-5&version=NIV">Deuteronomy 13:1-5</a><br />
<br />
<i>If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a sign or wonder, 2 and if the sign or wonder spoken of takes place, and the prophet says, “Let us follow other gods” (gods you have not known) “and let us worship them,” 3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. <b>The Lord your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul</b>. 4 It is the Lord your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him. 5 That prophet or dreamer must be put to death for inciting rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery. That prophet or dreamer tried to turn you from the way the Lord your God commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Also remember the words of the Messiah, who sternly warned against false prophets to come who would "shew great signs and wonders", and the teachings of the Pharisees in particular.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7%3A15-20&version=KJV">Matthew 7:15-20</a><br />
<br />
<i>15 <b>Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves</b>. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://biblehub.com/matthew/16-6.htm">Matthew 16:6</a><br />
<br />
<i>"Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><a href="http://biblehub.com/matthew/24-24.htm">Matthew 24:24</a></i><br />

Disclaimer: I disagree with a few aspects of this video, notably their assertion that "Judaism" was the religion of the ancient Israelites, and that the "jews" are the true descendants of the Israelites. "Judaism" is a <em>perversion</em> of the Old Testament, due to Babylonian occultism influence from when the House of Judah was taken captive in Babylon. And the people today calling themselves "jews" today are NOT the biological descendants of the Israelites, but rather the descendants of a people called the Khazars (who converted to Judaism around the 8th century AD), and the Idumeans/Edomites (descendants of Esau).<br />

A PHARISEE, Persecutor and Murderer of the Followers of Yahushua the Messiah, who switched to a covert tactic of infiltration in order to destroy the Gospel from within<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span><br /></span>

Saul of Tarsus was a leading Pharisee (and proclaimed "son of a Pharisee" - <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%2023:6&version=KJV"><span style="color: #3778cd;">Acts 23:6</span></a>), who lead the persecution of Yahushua and his followers. He was present at the stoning of Stephen (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%207:58&version=KJV"><span style="color: #3778cd;">Acts 7:58</span></a>).<br />
<br />
As discussed <a href="http://false-apostle-paul-archive.blogspot.com/2014/11/who-was-saul-of-tarsus-aka-paul.html">here</a>, the Messiah, Yahushua of Nazareth, <em>repeatedly</em> and <em>strongly</em> warned his followers to be on guard against the leaven/doctrine of the Pharisees, saying that false prophets would come and deceive MANY of his potential followers. <br />
<br />
Based upon all of the evidence against Saul/Paul (outlined on this website, and concisely <a href="http://false-apostle-paul-archive.blogspot.com/2014/02/overview-of-major-arguments-against.html">here</a>) it is apparent that Saul/Paul decided that overt persecution of Yahushuah's followers was not the best tactic to destroy them, but rather covert infiltration and subversion. So he transformed from a persecutor and murderer of the Messiah's disciples into an infiltrator and deceiver who sought to attack the true message of the Gospel from within by masquerading as an "apostle", and spreading false doctrine.<br />
<br />
Consider this hypothetical: What if a well known and infamous Satanist and murderer and persecutor of Christians (say like a Charles Manson figure, or a vehemently anti-Christian Jewish Rabbi) were to one day suddenly claim to have had a "miraculous conversion" to Christianity. What would you think of that claim, and of such a man? Would you be at least a little suspicious of the claim? Should he go to prison, perhaps face the death penalty for his crimes? What if this person didn't go to prison for their crimes, but was allowed to roam society as a free man spreading his new version of Christianity? Wouldn't you expect him to at least be extremely apologetic of his murders and crimes? What if this man hardly showed any remorse in his many writings for his crimes? And, incredibly, then this person goes on to have his writings included in the Bible! And it doesn't stop there. He is then somehow elevated to the title of "greatest apostle", even though he never genuinely was an apostle!<br />

<b><span style="color: #444444;">Yes, I was a murder and used to be a Satanist. But now I claim to be an "apostle" in my letters. Put my writings in the Bible and call me the "greatest apostle"!</span></b></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, remember that Saul/Paul was not trained by the disciples, the men who walked, talked, and lived with the Messiah. He claimed to have received his knowledge from "revelations." He was not recognized by the true apostles as a genuine apostle. Paul claimed that title for himself.<br />
