When you study Paul's writings, its kinda weird to realize that he had to deal with Christian cults very similar to what we have today. He actually deals with most of the same false teachings with what is taught now including prosperity teachings and the groups that indulge in physical excess.

Let's check and see how many quotes Paul has of Jesus. Tell us mr Winger.

The Most High said trust NO MAN. HE also said cursed is one who trust in man . JEREMIAH 17:5 Obey Chist. Thats it.

Where in scriptures does it tell us that Jesus knew Paul/killerSaul?

I had something like this happen today I have never heard anyone question Paul not legitimately being an apostle before. Crazy!

If I lie to glorify God, how does that make me a sinner? What is the actual answer to that question? And why would God rely on Liars to glorify him? Sincerely asking.

I just saw an ad for the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints when i clicked your video. Not sure if you can do anything about it, though.

To the last question... The actions of Jesus in the temple were righteous indignation. He had to make a point, but couldn't sugar coat it, or they wouldn't have taken Him seriously.

It's amazing how little details that I've probably never given a second thought to when reading the word are still consistent with and supportive of the truth of Jesus' resurrection!

Thank you Mike for your servant's heart! Love your teachings! Got a off topic question. What software/websites are you using to produce your KZfaq videos? Are you doing the split screens post production? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I teach at a homeless ministry and we are recording the teachings and would love to upload the videos.

Hi Mike I have never visited your channel before. Im curious do you teach in your church the gospel of grace and eternal security ?

If paul met Jesus after ascension. He didn’t meet “Jesus”. Jesus said his second coming would not be private. If it’s in a vision, ok. But he said he saw Him standing next to him. Johns revelation is through an angel from Jesus. If the Father delivered a message that was given to Jesus, then Jesus passed the vision onto an angel to hand deliver to John how is it that with Paul the same rules don’t apply?

Acts 26:14 [...] it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. This saying "it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks" is a quote from a Greek God within a Greek play from 406 BC. Jesus would have never quoted wisdom from an Idol from a Greek play. John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: John 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. John 10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

Great summary. Also let's remember the power of the holy spirit to give knowledge. Paul being filled with the holy spirit also got knowledge.... not just Paul but all apostles and till today to all that God pleases to give knowledge. Amen

Mike I would LOVE to know your perspective on The New Perspective of Paul!!!! This is so troubling !

Can someone plz tell me which website Pastor Mike is using here. I find it very easy to maneuver scripture like that. Thanks in advance and God bless.

People really tripped me up with their accusations about Paul. It really hurt my spirit & walk with God, and before you knew it...I had stopped reading the New Testament. I didn’t want to learn about spiritual warfare or anything Paul taught (I actually really loved reading Paul’s letters before!) I even became afraid to say the name of Jesus. I started doubting Jesus & who He claimed to be! I had just began my walk with God back in July, and wasn’t strong enough to stand firm when the deceivers & accusers came. It took me a very long time to recover from it. I have been back into the NT since, doing all that I can to eat it all up. I don’t believe our Heavenly Father would allow Paul’s epistles into His Holy Book for thousands of years if he was a false teacher or ravenous wolf. God is too good & His will is that not one perish.

Watched one of your videos for the first time yesterday. I really enjoy your thoughtful balanced approach to the scriptures. I subscribed and God bless you!

Pastor Mike, did you ever make a video about the phrase “the twelve” that you mentioned in minute 11 of this video? I’m intrigued at your teaser of the fuller meaning of that phrase! (I’m guessing it’s rooted in there being 12 tribes of Israel, but that is a guess.)

keep reading. how does the Torah prescribe adding writings to scripture? look it up, PLEASE.

I really enjoyed this.

Hey Mike, have you thought about taking the audio from your livestreams and uploading them as a podcast on various platforms? I'm sure a lot of people love listening to your lessons, but KZfaq may be blocked on some networks (like at the office) and can eat through mobile data plans. Do you already upload these to a podcast platform, or is this something you'd be interested in doing?

I think that to really mount a cogent argument you need to not simply show where the epistles talk about Jesus but how Paul actually knew these things since he never met the person Jesus.

How do I learn about your live broadcasts?

I started listening to you this year and I feel led to thank you for defending our faith and to let you know that God will provide for you and your wife because this ministry is saving souls and we don't think you are wanting to get rich of Christians you are not saying God said sow this amount for a miracle you are for asking for support from who can give it that you are able to walk out your destiny and calling and purpose Godbless you brother Mike and family from sister Claudette in the UK

I have always wondered why Paul's physical eyes were blinded when He saw the resurrected Christ but nobody else seemed to suffer the same(Unless I am mistaken)...I know there is some significance to it, but can't find much on the topic. Any of you guys/ladies know or have a guess...?? I know that the father of John's voice was muted until he was born...?

Would love to hear your opinion mike...

What about Paul's teaching on food sacrificed to idols and Rev. chapter 2?! Anyone?!

You're debating Matt? lol Sye debated him too may the Holy Spirit guide you!

Thank you Brother. This topic has weighed heavy on my heart.

Can you do a video about the GIFTS of the Spirit & WORKS for God? I love the way your brain works & how you explain God’s Word makes the most sense to me. I just need some clarity. It seems like everyone is expected to be a worship leader, pastor, teacher or evangelist but I’m not any of those things. I know I have the gift of faith, but what do I do with that? Encourage others because I believe & trust God? It’s confusing & disheartening. I want to work for the Lord & magnify Him through the gifts of the Spirit that have been given to me, but I don’t know how to find my place in the Kingdom. :/ help.

You were on staff at a church in L.A., are you not there anymore? I figured that the next time I went to L.A. I'd drop in there to hear you teach in person.

Catching it after the LIVE.... but thx so much for posting! I showed my husband (more of a scholar than I) the Video you did on Bethel tonight. You have GREAT biblical teaching. 😁😁😁💗 Keep it up.

Sloppy! - the title of the vlog is "Paul Didn't Know Jesus" but you immediately launch into "Paul Didn't Know ABOUT Jesus". This is a completely different issue. Paul did not know Jesus (ie never met in the flesh) but he certainly knew about Jesus, and later even claimed to have seen him in some sort of vision. Paul's vision (or whatever it was - the Bible accounts differ in some detail) is the only first-hand account in the Bible of someone encountering the risen Jesus. The Gospels are at best 2nd-hand accounts - which is probably why they suffer from the usual coherency problems with reported events. Nevertheless, I do admire the energy and enthusiasm you devote to defending Christianity and trying to fit Biblical square pegs into round holes. Most pastors and preachers avoid the issues and opt for the easy life by just cherry-picking Bible verses that they know their followers want to hear.

Can you please explain this verse from Paul for me 2 Corrinthians 12 verse 16?

Why did you say the gentiles were not expected to keep the law? Didn't you just quote Paul teaching the law to them in Timothy 5:8 "Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain" Why would he teach such a scripture if they were not to keep it...that would be confusing.

Paul also said that he received revelation directly from Jesus.

I cannot in words express my gratitude for this channel!!!

Paul met the resurrected Jesus and would never have become a Christian without doing so.

Crack up how he never gets into couter arguments, I bet this guy got nailed in the debate. These are old Christian tricks

I just had a guy tell me that Paul made up the doctrine that Jesus died for our sins because Jesus never explicitly said that. I know he’s wrong, but I couldn’t refute it. Also he said sacrificing Jesus (human sacrifice) is a pagan ritual. Again, I know he’s wrong, and my faith isn’t shaken, but I can’t find answers.

What do you think about Jesus warning of a false Christ in the desert ....and then paul finds a christ in the desert? Or if Jesus was around why didn't he choose paul and teach him like he did the 12

This is such a good topic. I was Jewish before coming to Christianity, and I really fixated on the Gospels and the Old Testament for the majority of my studies. When I got to Paul, something felt very different and off to me.

Mike, you're good and diligent but how is it with the information on Darby and the rapture you still believe its Christian doctrine and biblical?

Importantly, Jesus did not know Paul.

Great video. Keep spreading the word brother.

its gonna take an hour to explain when Jesus met Paul?

Also, remember, at the council on Jerusalem, Paul’s message was accepted by the apostles who walked with Christ in his earthly ministry. He was given the “right hand of fellowship.” See: Galations 2

Possible omission? *Paul spent 3 years with Jesus in Arabia* The wisdom of Paul, his plenitude of gifts and his authoritative reprimands against Peter made them sit-up and take notice that something very special was given to Paul (the mystery of the Gospel hidden in God to Gentile church, designed to cause jealousy among the 'elect' before they were cast-off until the time of the Gentiles be fulfilled). Not that we should quote Calvinists at Ligonier ministries (1st quote I could find..), but even they had this to say about Paul: "he retired into Arabia for a time and not until three years later did he go to Jerusalem. Even then, the only apostle he met was Peter, and the only other leader he met was James, the presiding elder of the Jerusalem church. It has often been remarked that Paul clearly implied that he spent three years being taught by Jesus Himself (Gal 1:12), either directly or (perhaps more likely) through the study of the Word. Thus *like the other apostles, Paul studied with Christ for three years* before beginning his ministry"

Mike, I'm normally a big fan of your stuff, but I was quite surprised to see you use the end of Mark 7:19 as evidence -- with, I could see, the little letter indicating a footnote (which of course says this little addendum was probably not original to Mark) right there on your screen! Now certainly you may take the minority position that it was original (a position I would argue against, knowing some Koine Greek and some textual criticism -- and maybe more importantly, having read some on this passage by those who know both subjects better than I!), but it just seems frankly really flimsy and even irresponsible to cite it as evidence without even noting that this passage is highly debatable. By the way, I'm not arguing that the correct interpretation is debatable -- we actually agree on that! -- only that the text is debatable in how strongly it states that interpretation (ie, long story short, I agree with the commentator who added the addendum that Jesus was in effect declaring all foods clean -- I just don't agree that that commentator was Mark!) To overstate a case or state it with flimsy evidence makes it seem weaker than it actually is, bc it sets you up for attack -- and worse, in this and any similar cases, I think you're setting up Christians who have never heard of textual variants to be both destroyed verbally and even led into doubt of their own faith (I speak from personal experience ;/). Could you reconsider using passages with textual variants as evidence?

Love your videos, thank you!

I heard in romans they were talking about Jesus washing his hands not about the food he didn’t eat unclean meat but he had unclean hands. And the Pharisees were mad because Jesus he didn’t follow oral law. Which most people believe that oral law was abolished not written

There is scripture that says Jesus chose Paul as a vessel to the gentiles. Acts 9:15

Didn’t Saul spend few years with apostles before he became an apostle, for him to know first hand about Jesus, before the gospels were out?

I'm confused. If Paul says he appeared to Peter and the 12, wouldn't that mean Jesus had 13 apostles? Peter is counted as 1 of the 12 in the gospels, why isn't he counted amongst them in Corinthians?

Love your videos. Favorite channel. Thank you.

Thanks Mike Ive been driving my pastor crazy about Paul !

How can you claim to know someone when you have never met that someone?

Why do Paul lovers never teach Hebrews 10: 26-31 in proper context of the 'unintentional' sin offering in Lev 4, called out by name several times in Hebrews 10, along with Jesus' call for obedience, and prefer to bend to the evangelical surface doctrine of "just say a Jesus prayer and you are fine?"

I hope you will answer mine because I find some of the evidence people are giving very compelling about Paul.

For those of us who want to support Mike so that he can do this full time and take care of his family, I think maybe this might work. We've all got people to take care of and bills to pay but I think $1 is something we can do. I'm hoping there are enough of us out here that it will take care of him and his family to do this ministry.

I can't believe Christendom has come to this. Can you imagine the amount of people that hear someone say "Paul was not an apostle" and then accept an incorrect set of beliefs for lack of better wisdom? And can you imagine the risk these deceivers are putting themselves into? The knowledgeable christian would just laugh them off, yet sadly he's been found missing most frequently. What a shame.

The Holy Spirit told Paul everything about Jesus!

Paul was not there at the death and burial nor was he there when Christ spent time with the disciples after the Resurrection, where was Paul??? GOD is the Savior Isaiah 43 1-3

That statement that Jesus sinned because he turned over the money table and was angry was a little bit farfetched. But, to add to Mike's point Paul tell the Ephesians to be angry and sin Not. So it is possible to have righteous anger.

Oh, if yall think the $1 idea is doable, maybe click the thumbs up so everyone can get an idea if it will work.

Next time you attend a meeting in a 😮 is incorrectly called a church), pay close attention how many times paul's name is mentioned. Also, look at the first word in all 13 books of paul and notice what it is. Prayers for you to be led in Truth by the HOLY SPIRIT.

You have to ask this in honesty. If someone tells you that they lie, and if they tell you they play pretend a lot, how much should you believe from them? How do you know what is truth and what is lie, what is real and what is a play? Romans 3:7, 1 Corinthians 9:22

The gospel according to Paul

Mike Winger, Paul never knew Jesus personally. He had a daydream about Jesus, and that's all.

Please can you teach me how you do this video

Some people think the brothers of Jesus were his step brothers. Joseph’s sons from a previous marriage.

Excellent video, as usual!

Thank you Pastor Mike for another great video. On your next live have your wife come on for a few minutes so we can meet her.

But in the last days " knowledge will be increased" And all hidden and in the dark will be revealed. The light will overpower the darkness and the truth revealved ...and every knee shall bow to the Lord. Till then remember our Lord " the world will be decieved" And the tares wont be removed till judgement . Would God turn his face from those who dont love the truth? Would the Lord allow false teaching right beside good doctrine ? Will the world be decieved by a false profit? Depends who you believe ..JESUS ....OR..... may you all ask and be guided by the spirit ... ( who Jesus sent to lead and guide us ) Its ok Jesus himself devoted only 30 YRS TO STUDY ! keep it up those who seek will find and those who knock ....a prayer and a blessing to all who are of the Lord

If Jesus' response amounts to "yes, pay your taxes," then it isn't a clever response at all. It is clever because it sounds like he is saying to pay the tax, but he says give to Cesaer what is his (nothing) and give to God what is His (everything). The religious leaders could not argue against this teaching, and they couldn't convince the Romans he was saying not to pay taxes because to their minds the taxes belong to Cesaer which they heard Jesus say.

Jesus never spoke to Paul. Paul was a self appointed apostle. We need to focus on the words of our Savior, not the man who contradicts Jesus numerous times. Anyone can claim to hear from the Lord or see Jesus. We should not believe those who contradict what the Risen Messiah, even if it goes against what we’ve been taught.

If he knew Jesus, he would have quoted him more than once. Also, he had 3 different stories about his experience on the road to Damascus. (No two are alike) Jesus said "many will come in my name" and I think the light he saw was satan who masqueraded as Jesus so he could fool the masses. After all, he is called an angel of light.

Oh your Lords warning he took his short time to say ...like many many times...

Great summary 👌 👏 👍

If Christians had followed James and Jerusalem church ie Torah for Jews, laws for gentile residing in Israel for non Jews, conflict between Jews and Christians would never have reached the levels they did. Paul's teachings were confusing, he infuriated the Jerusalem church and minimised the importance of the Torah for Jews. I can understand why he did this as he was an ancient "lefty" trying to bring Jews and non Jews together but ultimately opened the door for Torah hating gentiles to enter the church and bring in gentile anti semitism.

If we can clearly show how Paul lies using his own letters, why would you trust a single word he says?

Funnily enough, it is Zizek that made me reassess Paul after years of deriding him as a conman or unhinged liar. His appraisal of Paul's accomplishment in developing doctrine and the Gospel message as a unified project (one of universal, transnational, transhistorical, transtemporal import) made me take a closer look at Paul the apostle and theologian and eventually martyr and made Christianity a viable path to me again. All it takes is one altered perspective, and a lifetime of handwaving and negativity can be tipped aside and the floodgates open. I understand Badiou has also written extensively on Paul but I haven't ever read him, I'm sure his take is interesting at the very least.

Jesus said Matthew 5:17 - (NRSV) 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. It is very confusing because Paul in his letters directly contradicts what Jesus said. Paul said Romans 6:14 - (NRSV) 14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

One misconception most Christians have which is why I believe you have the Paul skeptics in Christianity is that Paul taught against the law. Paul only spoke against the law and that it does not save you other than that he’s teachings Align with Jesus in the Old Testament the way it should be.

Paul is a self proclaimed apostle with no named witnesses. There are 12 apostles according to Jesus listed in Matthew 19:28, not 13, the requirement to replace Judas Iscariot is listed in Acts 1:21-26 spoken of by Peter himself, after which they elected Mattias as the replacement of Judas. Jesus' apostles numbers 12 in total: this is also confirmed in the book of Revelation 21:12-14. Peter, the man who Jesus said "I will build my church upon this rock" to in Matthew 16:18, was the apostle to the gentiles listed in Acts 15:7, but Jesus said he would be taken captive in John 21:18, so then his church by proxy had been prophesied to have been taken captive.paul hijacked Peter's responsibility that the gentiles might hear from his lips and believe. Also the rest of the 10 remaining apostles (Judas was dead at the time, Mattias was not yet elected) they too were charged with going out to all nations (Translated from greek: "Ethnos" this means heathen, gentiles) to teach in the way of the Father/Son, Holy spirit and to obey everything jesus had commanded them to do, Matthew 28:18-20. James and the Elders and the other apostles also gave gentiles basic instructions - such as what is listed in Acts 21:18-28 (verse 25 specifically for the gentiles) where paul is called out for teaching apostasy contrary the things he should have taught indicated by in Acts 15:19-20 and Acts 21:25 about how the gentiles shouldn't bear the yoke of the Jews, but rather stick to certain laws... not "grace"(which is mercy) by paul's idea of faith alone, which goes about as far as acknowledging Jesus as you would Santa claus. paul was teaching the Jews who stayed among the gentiles to forsake Moses and even the EVERLASTING Covenant of circumcision described in Genesis 17:4-14... which if Jew neglected, they would be cut off from Abraham's blessing... cut off from a blessing from the God of the living: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. After paul was called out for teaching apostasy(lawlessness, do as thou wilt, let no man judge in you in any matter of food or drink and so on), he tried to 1 Cor 9:20-22 his way out of it (to the Jew he became a Jew to win the Jew etc...) by going through with what was known as a Nazarene vow, already discussed prior to this paragraph, listed in Acts 21:18-24. Rather than explain the law away like he usually did - calling it nailed to the cross indicated in Col 2:13-14(yet there are no reports of him being there at the crucifixion) calling the Law of God a "ministry of death" in 2 Corinthians 3:7 (when God's law are precepts which preserve our life according to King David in Psalm 119:93), rather than declaring that he and anyone else "in christ" was dead to the law by his own arbitrary means and arbitrary gospel of grace (mercy) through faith alone listed in Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19 - Rather than all of these things, paul was found trying to complete this vow by the Jews who knew he was teaching apostasy before he was able to complete it, 6 days into the ritual. He was rightfully thrown out and found himself standing before the courts for teaching apostasy, lawlessness, a crime punishible by death. He has no named witnesses to his conversion stories, his conversion stories do not line up, there's translator bias surrounding his text and even in 2 Peter where it is deceptively translated in english to make paul seem like too much of a genius to understand, when in reality Peter called his writings "dys-noetas" meaning to destroy understanding - which others would take and twist to their own destruction, like constantine in 324 AD when he used paul's lawless gospel to cause people to disregard the sabbath and worship his sun god on sunday. the paul we read about in the bible, who takes up more than half of the new testament, is an anti-christ Jesus prophesied would come in his name, performing signs and miracles even to fool the elect if possible: According to paul the sign of a true apostle is in signs and wonders or 2 cor 12:12, but according to Jesus, these are the sign of a deceiver, or Matthew 24:24, and he said not to believe the person who said they saw Jesus in the wilderness like paul had in Matthew 24:26. paul taught no parable, quotes nothing Jesus said(other than take this cup and drink, last supper), and Jesus himself never taught "grace" through faith but rather obedience for grace, and to build upon his teaching or else build upon sand (matthew 7:24-27), that the law wasn't over until heaven and earth disappeared and to exceed the righteousness of the scribes and pharisees in order to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven(matthew 5:17-20) and that in the end, everyone is judged by their faith as well as their works (Revelation chapter 2 to 3, also in the final judgement - Revelation 21:8, 22:12.) Jesus said that the only way through to the Father is through the son and whoever doesn't gather with him only scatters. Ask Jesus how to be saved and you'll see that you must do the will of his Father in heaven. In order to do that you must worship him as he desires, by the power of his spirit or John 4:23-24, in order to obtain what is necessary to worship God is John 14:15-17. AND NO WE ARE NOT SAVED BY OUR OWN WORKS - there is only one who is good. Good deeds can only come from the holy spirit. We are saved by doing the work of the Father, or by doing the will of the Father, or as Jesus so adequately put it - his mother sister and brother are those who do the will of his Father in heaven or Matthew 12:49-50. If one wants to be saved, simply become family. If you want to inherit eternal life, look no further than Matthew 19:16-19, or God's law, precepts which preserve our lives as King David would say(Psalm 119:93).­­ Blessings

Do you really think that THIS came from Yahuah??? For Paul Said, "That which I Speak is According to MY GOSPEL, I do NOT Speak After the Master, but as it were Foolishly. And I Think that I have the Spirit of Elohim, but if Any Man Thinks he Knows Anything, he Knows Nothing, so Bear with me in my Folly / Foolishness..." Rom 2:16 "...in the day when Elohim shall judge the secrets of men through יהושע Messiah, ACCORDING TO MY Good News." He made up his own story, and bragged about it. Something to think about. Shaul never said, "YHWH told me to say,,," or "YHWH sent me,,," We have no use for fake Paul who goes against Yahweh 40 times.

God bless you Mike

All these people who want to take Paul out of the Bible, you should just chuck out the whole thing, why should we believe anything out of it? Jesus didn’t write anything down himself, and surely we believe Old Testament prophets when they simply said “I am of the Lord” like why should we believe them? Because they said so? Also Peter affirms Paul so if you can believe Peter now either than what can you believe?

You destroy your own arguement when you admit Paul wrote before the gospels were written. This was my entire point. Paul never heard Jesus teach anything. The vast majority of what he knew of Jesus was all based on hearsay. THe rest is on a vision of his. While hearsay can be reliable, it isn't always. You spend much time talking about what Paul thought about Jesus based on what he heard from people who believed in Jesus. But this doesn't show that Paul knew Jesus, just that he knew what people were saying about Jesus. Thus he is creating a theology based almost entirely on hearsay.

I heard your weird conspiracy explanation ....what do you think of fruits ...and the clear warnings of deception of the world ...yes "even the elect if possible"

Paul was a character composed by the Gnostic Marcion in the first canon of the new testament. The original person who many did quote in the first century is Simon the Magus, the father of all heretics. Even Tertullian said that Paul is the Apostle of the Heretics.

Mike, nice exegesis of Romans 14:14… Paul contradicts what Jesus says & by saying that Paul has some special insight from a man he never walked with is common in Christianity. Paul is not the author & finisher of my faith. Jesus Christ died for me & as such I choose to follow what HE said. I am grieved how easily Christians follow the teachings of others, especially when they directly contradict what Christ said. True saints of God will be persecuted in these last days, so seek discernment as to not lose your salvation 🙏

Paul's gospel is based on his incorrect belief that Jesus came only to save the Jews. He then misquotes almost all the Prophets, and builds his gospel on his false interpretations. I watched your video on Calvinism, how can you deny Calvinism when Paul was indeed the first Calvinist? The 5 points are based not on Christ's teachings, but on the great deceiver Paul's. Paul taught Calvinism and his teachings have birthed even more heresy than that! Look to Christ for truth.

Great word!

Reading Acts 6 : 9ff you read about the Synagogue of Freed men. Who came from amongst other places, Cilicia ... when i read that after watching this video I thought bingo, Saul must have been amongst them and was consequently amongst those who stoned Stephen.

I cannot believe that this teaching that Paul was not a real apostle is spreading among so called Christians. An apostle is a more than a mere eyewitness of Jesus, he is also a witness of the divine sonship and redemptive mission of Jesus Christ. An apostle speaks the message or messages the Lord gives him and leads people to Christ. Paul had a vision of the Lord on the way to Damascus, repented of his sins and was converted, later on in another vision he was taken in what he calls the third heaven and saw and heard things he was forbidden to speak of. He received revelations from God all the rest of his life and worked tirelessly to bring both Jews and Gentiles to Christ. We only have fragmentary information on his life and we don't know exactly when he was called to the apostlehip, but called he was, the other apostles never disputed his right to be called so and to minister as such. So who are you to say differently. As for his supposed misquotes of the Old Testament, the Jews of Jesus times had access to other ancient records that did not reach us, as a matter of fact Jesus on occasion quoted scripture differently from what we have today so was he also lying? Some so called Christians believe that Paul, not Jesus organized a church, but a careful and prayerful examination of the Gospels, the book of Acts and the letters of the other apostles paint a different picture. Jesus did organize a church, not Paul or Peter or James or John, they were only his servants in the church. When Jesus organized his church it was perfect, but them after he went to heaven and the apostles were killed or died naturally, unholy men under Satan's influence hijacked it and turned into something not of God. Paul was not the founder of Christianity, Jesus founded it as he saw fit. Going back to Paul, if you don't like or understand his teachings and you dont think they are from God, instead of relying on scholars and experts and enemies of Christ, get on your knees and ask the Supreme Scholar and the Ultimate Expert to enlighten you and reveal to you what you wish to know or understand. You love to talk about a personal Savior then put your knees where your mouth is.

One can read the scriptures and understand that Paul was a false apostle. One can not contradict the Messiah and his Apostles. And yes Mike, you are “making it up” just like Paul.

Why do people think that Paul didn't know Yeshua. He would've been witness to His whole ministry as he was the one who went after the church. He was never ignorent to Christ's ministry , join that with the revelation knowledge of Christ plus Paul's knowledge of scripture. It is such a ridiculous statement to say Paul never knew Christ or even to say he only knew him a little is foolish. Thanks Pastor Mike appreciate your sharing of the Word. Be blessed brother from Australia
