QUOTE=Virtual_Cliff]Wolfgang, If you truly believe that Paul was a deceiver, then it is your duty to follow the Mosaic Law and forget the whole Faith doctrine. You should certainly not follow a path you believe to be wrong. You will then live a life of humility towards God, and generosity to...

Thank you, Abogado del Diablo With your help perhaps we will yet advance to discussing the Gospel of Q, the Documentary Hypothesis, and the implications of the Dead Sea Scrolls to the alleged inerrancy of the mortally canonized bible. May the Light of Yah shine through man's confusion and...

That's a cute argument, Marsha. The only problem is that Peter did not write 2 Peter, and on this point your argument collapses. Didn't you read my last post on this?:( If you don't beleive me, just enter "authorship of 2 Peter' in your search engine and explore the results. But on another...

Lev 21:18 For whatsoever man [he be] that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous Lev 21:19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Lev 21:20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be...

"Paul was the first Humanist" is the title because Paul characteristically puts an emphasis on the commandment for we humans to love one another while consistently ignoring the command to love our Creator, Yahweh. This anthropocentricism is the essential characteristic of (godless) humanism...

I had the impression that Brian had written this but perhaps I am wrong. This appears on the first page of Victor's article: "In all honesty I can say that I have searched for rebukes against the criticisms against Saul of Tarsus, all of which Victor has developed, and more - but never have I...

Although Paul is not commanding humanity to become celibate, he is setting a very bad example that priests (and nuns) in the Catholoic church will be destined to follow, and this has been the cause of much sexual misconduct commited by these priests as the suppresion of natural desires often...

Marsha, What verse are you quoting regarding Judas and this millstone?

Marsha, are you disputing that Paul was a Pharisee?

Re: Twelve apostles for twelve tribes, no room for Paul Now then, let us refrain from such hostility and devote ourselves instead to a scholarly discussion. The Twelve apostles correspond to the Twelve tribes of Israel, the people of Yahweh, and there were just Twelve apostles of the Lamb so...

I have no idea of how this has anything to do with the validity of Paul's self -professed claim to be an apostle. Please clarify. Wolfgang

Faithfulness rather than faith in the OT The False apostle Paul is always talking about faith and grace. Romans 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. Romans 9:31 But...

Paul has the audacity to say: Gal 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But is it not clear that Paul is leaving out the first and most important commandment of all? Mat 22:36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in the...

Reciprocal regards to you Juan23 !! I had meant to reply to your other letter first, but I am compelled to reply at once to some of your current statements. Above all, I am a seeker of truth, and I am a seeker of truth by means of reason rather than faith. By the way, faith appears to be a...

Marsha, First we find not one but 3 instances of Paul using the term 'my gospel'. Rom 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. Rom 16:25 Now to him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus...

The coming advent of the 'Son of Man' or 'Shiloh' (or many other names) was mentioned many times in the OT as an event to be yearned for. In a way Jesus did mention the Pharisee Paul when He said Jhn 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own...

What it all seems to come down to is that He seems to be saying you should love your neighbor just as long as he is a member of your own tribe. So it would seem that He did not believe in universal brotherhood, but only a brotherhood for those who belong to the lost sheep of the House of...

If you were Born from Above, in the Very Begining, even before the foundation of the universe, then when you die, it's like waking up from a dream as you return to the larger reality from whence you came. And in this form you remember everything. Wolfgang

Twelve apostles for twelve tribes, no room for Paul the Apostate Apostle. It's interesting and quite revealing that Jesus always referred to His apostles as 'the twelve', as if to underscore and permanently intertwine and commingle the word 'twelve' with the word 'apostle'. Jesus could have...

Dear Marsha, I see that you only have one lone objection to my essay!! Does this mean you agree with my other points?! With respect to the issue of Paul preaching in Jesus' name, he may have claimed to speak in Jesus' name, but he was nonetheless a self-proclaimed apostle and therefore spoke...
