Gotta laugh at the commenters who use Pauls writings to prove Paul. It would be same as using Joseph Smith writings to prove Joseph Smith...which Mormons do.

Most independent religious historians point out that Jesus taught that the way to make it to Heaven was to love God and love your neighbor, in other words, by our deeds of love and mercy. Paul taught that the key was to have faith in Jesus. Most Christians today emphasize Paul's road of having faith and NOT Jesus' narrow way of loving God and loving others. Jesus even taught in Matthew that if we fail to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, we will not go to Heaven. Yet, most Christians today believe that faith in Jesus is all that is needed. However, this is NOT what Jesus preached.

If you can't beat them, join them then manipulate them xD

I have a book about Paul the man (not Paul the Apostle). Paul the man it says was someone with a brash, forward personality who had to be in charge & first in everything. The more I read the book it sounds like if he wasnt doing what he did he probably would have been a used chariot salesman.

Finally...... an acknowledgement that it's really Paulianity not Christianity.

"... thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars!" - Rev 2:2

If Pauls was so great Jesus would have said Paul will come after Him with another addition to His Truth

PAUL WAS A FOLLOWER OF ROMAN CULTURE. HE TAUGHT CHRISTIANS TO EAT MEAT. HE PROMOTES ROMAN CULTURE NOT THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST JESUS

was a Pharisee. 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, Ezekiel 13:2-9. Paul considered himself the ‘apostle’ to the Gentiles, primarily because his doctrine (called ‘that way’, Acts 19:9, 23) 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.

Paul was saying that the OT laws could only point out sin, and not really do anything else about it. He realized that trying to live a holy life by following the Commandments would be futile, something that Jesus certainly seemed to say in Matthew 5. Jesus completely fulfilled the Law, and He imparts that righteousness onto born-again believers.

"Better not call Paul"

Paul said '' if by my lie I spread the gospel why do people attack me '' Paul was based in Ephesus and Jesus told John in Revelations that the Apostles in Ephesus were fakes and liars

It's very clear in acts alone who Paul is, I've found him misquoting Habakkuk and lying and manipulating. Barnabas was sent with him to keep tabs on him and after acts 15 he's completely cut off from any fellowship with the apostles there's so much to it its crazy

It always amazes me how people either over look or purposely disregard the words of Christ when they try to justify their beliefs. Like with the pre trib rapture. They will toss a bunch of scripture verses at you, avoiding Matthew 24 at all costs. I always ask," What should we do with what Christ says in matthew 24? They just toss more verses and eventually unfriend me or just no longer associate with me. Pointing out Paul's contradicting many of the things Christ said infuriates them. They warn me about calling someone a false preacher. It's sad and maddening

The one thing most everyone is missing here is that the longest gospel as well as the book describing the history of the early Church were in fact written by a Gentile, St. Luke. In the Acts of the Apostles, God appears to Peter, a Jew, in a dream and commands him to kill an eat an animal that is forbidden according to the food laws. When Peter, a Jew, refuses because it violates the food laws, God says "Rise. Kill, and eat. How can you call anything I have made unclean." The whole Gospel is based on the fact that people cannot follow all of the Old Covenant laws, because of Original Sin. Even in the garden of Eden, God tells Satan that he will put enmity between his seed and Eve's seed and that the Serpent would bruise his heel and Eve's seed (Jesus Christ) would crush his head. Jesus Christ is present throughout the Old Testament in either literal or figurative language. Examples include: "Let Us make man in Our image", Melchezidek, the Angel that wrestled with Jacob, the serpent on the pole that provided healing to the Israelites in the wilderness, the burning bush, Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22 describe in detail both events of the Crucifixion as well as the purpose of Jesus. The purpose of the Christ was not to reform the Jewish Nation. The purpose of Jesus Christ was to take upon himself, fully human and fully divine, the entire sin of the fallen creation in time universal, and take all that sin to hell by his death on the cross, destroying Death for all time, and providing the Way for God's fallen creation to be reunited with him in eternity. Period. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice. Therefore, His death on the cross abolished all of the ceremonial and sacrificial laws as well, as he became the only acceptable propitiation for my sins and yours. Instead of trying to deconstruct the Bible, why don't you spend more time constructing the Truth, which is a single story of Salvation told first orally and then written down. The Church universal and the Bible are the only objective truth. The problem with subjective truth is that if all truth was subjective then nothing would have meaning. I will close with this. Jesus himself said "If you destroy this temple, I will rebuild it in three days." If he wasn't forshadowing his crucifixion and resurrection, then what? My prayer is that all will find the answer to Pilate's question "What is truth?"

Can anyone let me know from which documentaries the clips were taken? Thanks!

Whoever reads this I hope as a Muslim, that god will guide you all to straight path brothers and sisters.

Paul never said get rid of the laws. His message was the works of the law no longer justify a man only Jesus does. Very simple.

The audacity of Paul to tell the original apostles of Jesus that he, Paul, knew more and knew better than them is astonishing to me. Where is the humility?

All I will say is on The Day Of Judgement All Will See The Truth! And On That Day No One Will Be Able To Repent For Putting Anything or Anyone Before God!

jesus came with revelation not paul paul says himself the disciples wanted to kill me why paul himself hunted down the followers of jesus and fed them to lions the devil did his best act with this character paul , 'dont worry commit sins 'dont worry forget the law il sort it all il get all of you to heaven'

Do not think I have come to abolish the law. No, I have come to fulfill it" Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

A muslim preacher said that our bible is distorted of because of PAUL.

It's crazy how y'all believe in Phillipians 4:13 but deny Philippians 4:9 when Paul talks about prosperity you scream amen to the top of your voices when He condemns wrong he becames antichrist? I am starting to think you also think hell is a lie soon you may start saying the whole Bible is false .This is why I don't let people teach me about the Bible I read it myself...anyway May God's mercy and grace be with you and most importantly may Jesus show you the truth

The Pauline followers who commented here really are in denial, maybe that's because they don't actually know much about their own supposed religion.

Regarding Paul and they who misconstrue his teachings... in his Second Epistle, the Apostle Peter says... “Just as in all of his letters he [Paul] spoke about these things, in which are things difficult for the intellect, which those who are without teaching and unstable, pervert, as also the other Scriptures, to their own destruction” 2 Peter 3: 16 For starters, just take a minute or two to absorb everything Peter is saying about Paul in the aforementioned verse. Firstly, he clearly distinguishes Paul as a co-worker in the Ministry, that alone speaks volumes does it not? Secondly, he acknowledges that many followers find Paul’s teachings difficult to understand... why should anything be any different today? And finally, he irrefutably places Paul’s writings on equal par with the “other Scriptures”, undoubtedly referring to The Old Testament. If you are unsure about where Paul fits in the whole scheme of things pertaining to the Gospel, sincerely ask God for His guidance and with humble-mindedness carefully study the scriptures for testimony of Paul’s authority. God is merciful and will not ignore your plea if you truly seek after Him and His Word. If you choose to snub God in your quest for knowledge, He will simply leave you to your own devices to follow your own foolish counsels and the imaginations of others.

As a Christian I’ve always wondered why Jesus would comeback the 2nd time to make Paul as an Apostle. He clearly mentions after his resurrection that he will never be seen again.

I can prove Paul was a liar using his own words. On multiple occasions.

I live in Alexandria Egypt. The disciple Mark, one of the authors of the gospel of Christ, brought Christianity here to Alexandria, built a church, and was buried under that church after being killed. At NO time did any of this church denounce the apostle Paul as anti Christ or any such thing. In fact he is, and was always, a respected church elder and called by Christ Jesus, and like Christ and mark, martyred for his faith and testimony. What has your faith cost you to judge this man Paul. The state of this church was very truly described as "a bloody stump of it's early years". Satan is always hard at work weakening "victory thru the blood of the Lamb and the Word of (our) testimony", by taking us back to the old law and crucifying Christ again. Better recheck your idea of what an "anti Christ" is.

*We should keep the 10 commandments.*

15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. 2 Peter 3:15-16

This is a doctrine of Devils. 1Cor 14;37 If any man think himself to be spiritual let him acknowledge the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord!

In 2nd Peter 3:15 Peter calls him our beloved brother.

The old testament is also called the old covenant. The old covenant was done between God and Abraham and in turn would only apply to Abrahams descendants, the jews. We, the descendants of gentiles never made a covenant like the one between God and Abraham, not even our gentile predecessors. Paul wasnt in conflict with the early Christians, he was in conflict with early jewish Christians, because they demanded that gentile Christians become jewish, that means circumcism, tradition about food and cleanliness, etc.

Jews are well known for this throughout history.the did it to Christianity and had success. Tried it with Islam and had successfully divided them to Suni and Shia.

It’s hard to not notice when Paul quotes the Jewish scriptures he often changes them. Take a passage he uses in his writings, then look it up in the Old Testament and compare the two for yourself and see what you come up with.

So what do we do with the Book of Acts? is it all a wash because it promotes Paul? What about the epistles of Peter? He mentions Paul? If we believe Luke wrote Acts do we then also forget the gospel according to Luke? I dont mean to be argumentative, just curious?

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Most churches do not teach the true teachings like Matthew 10:8 ‘Freely you have received; freely give’; they teach that it is o.k. to reap the financial gifts in exchange of the spiritual gifts and preach the attractive teachings like: ‘And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified’ Romans 8:30 They try to make people feel happy with such attractive teachings in order to receive more donations. “If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?” 1 Corinthians 9:11. Most churches do not follow the strict teachings which urge us to obey God as taught by Jesus in Matthew 22:35-40, Luke 10:25-28, Mark 12:28-34, but they prefer the attractive teachings of Paul like ‘We are saved by grace through faith apart from works’ - Ephesians 2:8-9 ‘Even when we were dead in sins, we are saved by grace’ - Ephesians 2:5 ‘A man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law’ - Romans 3:28 ‘A man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith’ - Galatians 2:16 ‘For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse’ - Galatians 3:10 Most churches do not follow the strict teachings like If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away which is taught by Jesus in Matthew 18:9, Matthew 5:29 and Mark 9:47, but they prefer the attractive teachings of Paul like: ‘God has chosen us before the foundations of the world’ - Ephesians 1:4 ‘God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation’ - 2 Thessalonians 2:13 ‘For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation’ - 1 Thessalonians 5:9 ‘But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed!’ 1 Corinthians 15:51 ‘God has saved us and called us’ - 2 Timothy 1:9 ‘We have been justified through faith’ - Romans 5:1, Romans 5:9 Most churches believe that Jesus’ death was necessary for the forgiveness of sins. But Jesus, like all other prophets, taught that we can earn salvation by obedience, repentance, and good deeds to help others. No human sacrifice is necessary for salvation. No human bloodshed is necessary for salvation. No savior should die for the salvation of others; everyone is responsible for his own salvation. Jesus has also confirmed the same in Matthew 18:21-35, 6:14-15, Mark 11:25-26, Luke 6:35-38, Matthew 19:16-19, Matthew 21:43, and Matthew 25:41-46 When the scribes wanted to support the doctrine of atonement, they have added verses like Matthew 18:11 For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost The bible footnotes explain that verse Matthew 18:11 was not in the original old scriptures Hebrews 9:22 “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness” is a misunderstanding of verse Leviticus 17:10-14 which is not about atonement but is about dietary laws. God has clarified that blood in meat is not good for health; that clarification was necessary to the people who did not have advanced medical tools to know that eating the meat with the blood still in it is bad for health The true word of God is not what is written by the unknown writer of Hebrews; it is what has been taught by Moses, David, Solomon, Isaiah, Jesus and the Prophets who taught the forgiveness is possible by obedience, repentance, and prayers Proverbs 16:6 teaches that “In mercy and truth atonement is provided for iniquity.” Psalm 69:30-31 teaches that praise worship is better than sacrifice 2 Chronicles 7:14 teaches that forgiveness is obtainable without a blood sacrifice ‘If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin’ Jonah 3 teaches that people are forgiven when they repented and fasted, without offering any sacrifice and without shedding any blood Proverbs 17:15 states: ‘He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination unto God’ That should be considered as a warning to the teachers who promise free salvation to the sinners and who teach that the innocent has been punished on behalf of the sinners Jesus taught the parable of The Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32 to highlight the importance of obedience and repentance as the main prerequisites for salvation That is the core Christianity teaching as taught in Matthew 7:21 Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven Jesus has confirmed the teachings of the Old Testimony ‘in repentance and obedience is your salvation’ as taught in Isaiah 30:15 In Matthew 25:31-45 Jesus described the final judgment as being based on good works; he clarified that those who obey the law will be saved Salvation is not based solely on belief and nothing else; salvation is not granted to those who merely profess acceptance of Jesus without performing kind or compassionate deeds In Luke 13:3 and 13:5, Jesus taught that repentance is necessary for salvation But unless you repent, you too will all perish Mark 12:33 teaches: And to love one’s neighbor as himself, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices What Jesus taught here is not different from the wisdom taught by the old testimony Hosea 6:6 ‘For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings’ That verse teaches us that forgiveness is possible by repentance and obedience; no sacrifice is necessary Matthew 9:13 teaches that Jesus came to call the sinner to repentance ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance’ The wrong teachings about original sin, atonement, and salvation by grace without obedience to God’s law were taught by Paul who was not educated by Jesus.

Finally people who quote scripture correctly

JESUS CHRIST SAID...."IT IS NOT WHAT GOES INTO YOU THAT MAKES YOU UNCLEAN BUT IT'S WHAT COMES OUT OF YOU"

If yr a theologian you should know that the most letters of Paul have a anti-Jewish redaction first in 90 AC and by Marcion in 150 AC. So if you read carefully the Greek text, you will see two Pauls! Even most letters of Paul are not from Paul espc the Galatians. They use material from Paul and constructed some letters like Galatians which is only the name of a province in nowadays Turkey with Ankara in its center. Btw a letter is not that long as those which are called letters of Paul. Nobody would listen for more then an hour to a letter. Most letter were short mostly practical and formal. Also the double openings in one chapter is a sign that there are not a genuine letter as is shown in Romans. Also the the two different styles of Greek in the letters shows the author who has rewritten Paul. And all those parts who are specific against Jewish law are written in very typical kind of elaborate Greek that Paul didn't use. Why they did it is also clear. The breakdown of the Jewish community in Jerusalem and the dispute between Jewish Christians and Hellenistic Christians that we already see in Acts got out of control. The later community in Ephesus took over and did rewrite Pauls letters.

"However, if it's from God, you won't be able to stop them. You may even discover that you're fighting against God.""

Paul is the definition of “if you can’t beat em join em” and then deceive them

This is a big bunch of fallacies and purposeful misunderstandings. Paul did NOT say we don't have to obey the law, but that THE MEANS OF SALVATION is by grace through faith, not by works / obedience to the law. Also, to say Jesus was a political figure and NOT GOD characterizes you as an ANTICHRIST and FALSE PROPHET from the Father of Lies. "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also." (1 John 2:22-23)

John 14:15 John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

Paul confesses that he was teaching his gospel, not the gospel of Jesus.

2 Peter 3:15-16 "Bear in mind that our Lord’s patiencemeans salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction."

Saturday, Saturn's Day, Saterdag, Samstag, Sambaztac, Σάββατο Day, Shabb'tai Day, Shabtai Day, Shabat Day, Shabbat Day, Sabbath Day, Saturday. Shabb'tai means Saturn in Hebrew. Shabbat is the word used in the ten commandments for the Seventh Day. The Romans found it strange that the Jews were celebrating their day of rest and prayer on what they considered a malevolent day (Saturn was a malevolent god, and Saturday was considered a bad to to go anywhere). Out of jest, they began calling the Jews' day of rest 'dies Saturni' or 'day of Saturn', and eventually it changed to 'Shabb'tai' for the Hebrew word for saturn. Paul and his followers began breaking bread in remembrance of Jesus' ressurection on Sunday, as well as continuing to observe the Sabbath on Saturday. Paul, being a Roman and probably aware of the stigma of Saturday gathering, helped the Saturday practice soon fizzle out and it was transferred completely to Sunday. It's ironic that Sunday is the day of the sun god, who was said to have ressurected every day after dying and traveling through Hades, and Jesus was said to have ressurected on Sunday. Seems to be one of the earliest examples of pagan incorporation for the benefit of peace of mind.

Shame for these bunch of so called scholars. They are darkened in their mind. If Paul is anti Christ, then there is no Christianity, and no God, and no salvation or eternity. You deny Paul means you deny the cross and the resurrection.

"Orthodox" Christianity is ultimately what Paul taught and NOT what Jesus the man himself taught. This is not me saying this is what prominent NT scholars say. Jesus a Jewish man preaching to Jewish people about Jewish law and preparing for coming kingdom of God on earth, yet what does Paul teach? Salvation only through faith in Jesus death and resurrection and not following the law?! Christianity as we know it is invention of Paul. Unbelievable that People still have a hard time to see through this.

To the enemies of the most high God and His own, to those who are trying to figure God out through their human brains, forgetting that Jesus hid Himself and His teaching from the Pharisees and anyone who doesn't have the heart for God, He said in Luke 8:10 "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, SO THAT" though seeing, they may not see, though hearing , they may not understand".

What I have found is that Shaul being a Pharisee, knew the difference between the laws of men and the Law of God. Romans 3:21 but now apart from the law (of the Pharisees) the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law (Torah) and the prophets. This is right in line with Matthew chapter 23. So when he says in Romans 6:14 you are no longer under the law, he's talking about the law of the Pharisees.

To all heretics, read and lament your idiocy: 2nd Epistle of Peter, Chapter 3, verses 15-16: "...even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; {3:16} As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction". So if, in your foolishness, reject Paul, by necessity you must also reject Peter and by extension all the Apostles and by further extension Jesus Christ Himself.

Thats why he said we have to love our brothers and pray every day

just realized, John the most loved lost his clothes while escaping and paul was the young boy who held the clothes for those who slew Stephen, the first martyr. Wow.

2000 years later people still want to bash Paul. I wonder why...Probably because he is the one with the gospel to the gentiles. So yea, in Satan's world, he would love nothing more than for a Christian to question Paul. But if you have an issue with Paul, than you dont really have an issue with him. Your issue is actually with your bible. And if you want to rip out all of Paul's epistles. Than you have to start to take out every other book in the new testament. It's called God's domino effect. He says, if you dont want to believe one book of my bible, than you are required to not believe any of it. That's how God wrote his word. You either believe all of it or none of it. If you want to understand Paul, than you have to understand the revelation of the mystery. Just google that and rightly dividing the word of truth. All of your questions will be answered. Be careful though. When you search for truth about Paul, you will find many oppositions, because its called Satan Hates PAUL. Lol. Good luck.

Jesus healed on the Sabbath. He also technically practiced necromancy (Lazarus). He also forgave sin and minimised the importance of what you eat. All direct violations of the mosaic law, but He says that it is all ok because it is out of love, and since Jesus never sinned, therefore He never went against the Law. This can only mean one thing, that the mosaic law we see in in the OT, is law written by men, and that there is a true, higher, God given Law which derives automatically from the practice of Love (as Paul concludes also) and it is this Law that Jesus refers to in Matthew, not the mosaic law. Just think also how elegant it is that God has inscribed His Laws in our hearts, all we have to do is practice Love to know it, it's within everyone's reach, no priests, no education, no understanding needed, only the will to Love.

This is based on a misunderstanding of Paul’s theology. Paul wasn’t erasing the law. He basically said that we don’t need to follow the letter of the law, but we do still need to follow the SPIRIT of the law, which is Love. He writes in Galatians 5:14, “The whole law is fulfilled in one word: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”

It's almost like whoever made this video has never read Romans chapter 7, "I had not known sin but by the law. Or, "By the law sin became exceedingly sinful." This video is blasphemously missleading. Read the entire New Testament people, it is in complete harmony. These guys have studied to the point of madness.

THE LAW THAT PAUL WAS TALKING ABOUT WAS ANIMAL SACRIFICE. BECAUSE JESUS WAS THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE. MEANING WE DIDNT HAVE TO SACRIFICE ANIMALS TO GOD ANYMORE FOR REPENTANCE OF SIN. THATS WHAT JESUS CAME FOR BECAUSE HE IS THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.

Who are all these "early Christians" that "didn't agree with Paul?" 6:20

There is a war in the new testament. Every epistle is an expose on Paul. The gospel of john written against his heresy. Once you see it, it's incredible.

"With the rabbinical impudence that characterizes everything about him, Paul put this interpretation, this perversion of an interpretation into a logical form: 'if Christ did not rise from the dead, then our faith is in vain'. -And in one fell swoop, the evangel becomes the most contemptible of all unfulfillable promises, the outrageous doctrine of personal immortality ... Paul himself still taught it as a reward!" NIETZSCHE, "The Anti-Christ" The best is Paul's invention of the Rapture in "his" letter to the Thessalonians to calm the Christians who were told Jesus was coming back "before this generation shall pass away" and they're dying and he has not come back: 13But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.15For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.16For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.17Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18Therefore encourage one another with these words. -1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 This was a real problem for early Christians - where is he?? Christians of every generation constantly think the End Times are right around the corner but for the first Christians it was far more serious. Just change the facts! Another favorite... time is just redefined, a "day" is really "a thousand years": 7 But the heavens and the earth which now are, by the same Word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the Day of Judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing: that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:7-9

I agree with the point made in this video, but differ on the explanation given. During the time of Jesus, there weren’t any Jewish sects advocating turning away from the law per se, but only varied on doctrine-method, emphasis, strictness, etc,- and otherwise just became lapsed to varying degrees out of preoccupation with other matters of life. So Jesus didn’t say this in Matthew due to a great need to bring Jews back to the law and it’s ordered practices, he made the comment out of a need to defend and protect himself, because many of his actions seemed afoul of the law, harvesting on the sabbath, etc. By making this comment, what seemed peculiar about his own actions could then be attributed to him fulfilling the law, while still stating all are to follow the existing law to the T. Secondly, while Paul was a Jew, he was also a citizen of Rome with all the privileges that brought one. His allegiance was to Rome more than to his Jewish brethren and Rome employed him to wipe out the followers of Jesus (going by the name of Saul at this time) which he proceeded to do always with a Roman contingent attached to his company. After his vision and becoming a follower of Jesus himself, then “Paul” had trouble with the Jewish clergy because he wanted to relax the law’s requirements (circumcision for one) for gentiles wishing to become Jews of the Jesus sect (calling themselves Christians came later than the occurrences of this time). This is what brought about the friction and eventual separation causing the two distinct faiths to emerge. But it wasn’t because Paul was trying to convince Jews not of the Jesus sect that J was the messiah and couldn’t that he turned to the gentiles, as stated in your video, because Paul was converting gentiles from his start as an “apostle” but as said, the break came when Paul started converting gentiles without making them follow the law’s requirements in order to do so. So when the split came, the “Christians” became made-up of primarily gentiles henceforth. Under Paul’s leadership an entirely Jewish sect, where it’s central figure Jesus himself stated there was to be no wavering from the stated law, the Tora, became completely co-opted by gentiles, which perverted the true message of Jesus into something other. Paul was the first to come in his name (J’s) as “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

I am a Muslim and I agree and we too believe that Jesus (peace be upon him) said that he said he is not rejecting the laws and scriptures given to Moses (peace be upon him). And in fact that he is only abiding by it. It's only Paul and other people from the church have corrupted the words and saying of Jesus and Moses and deceived Christians.

Jesus’s divinity is most deceived by John, not Paul. Jesus himself says his kingdom is not of this world, so to say he’s a political reformer is also anti-Scriptural.

Hiya all you Seekers of Truth out there, I want to address an important word. The word is apostle, it is defined as one who is sent out, (like go away, get lost). Most people get that confused with Disciple. The Messiah said if you follow and obey my words, then you are my disciples. So who wants to be an apostle. This word was inserted purposely and used to confuse us. God is not the author of confusion.

So if you can't beat em join them and distroy from within! He was brilliant. The CIA would have that man working for them in a heartbeat.

"But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God."

The Apostle Paul wrote about the "man of lawlessness" in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12. The man of lawlessness represents the pinnacle of what Christ reverses and is appropriately referred to as "Antichrist". Paul's description of the Antichrist in 2 Thessalonians warns Christians to avoid deception. Many scholars believe that the person referred to by Paul as “the man of lawlessness” in 2 Thessalonians 2 is the same person or phenomenon referred to by John as “the antichrist”. Both figures fulfill a pattern that originates in the Book of Daniel and that reappears in John’s vision. Paul's prophetic outline in 2 Thessalonians 2 is mandatory to view against the background of Daniel's original prophecy of the Anti-Messiah. Jerome wrote: "Says the apostle [Paul in the Second Epistle to the Thessalonians], 'Unless the Roman Empire should first be desolated, and antichrist proceed, Christ will not come.'" He also identifies the little horn of Daniel 7:8... scholars believe that this passage contains no genuine prediction, but represents a speculation of Paul's own, based on his knowledge both of Daniel and contemporary events. St. Paul was identified with Antichrist by Jews because he preached against their religion

There is only one thing I need to know... what channel did this air on?? Can you say "NWO Agenda" boys and girls?? Looks to me like the original size was changed. But why would anyone want to do that? ; )

Thus saith the Lord, ""The days will come when those killing you will think they are doing God a service"

" "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.". ~ Jesus John 5:43

Paul was stoned, flogged, imprisoned, shipwrecked and much more, all for a lie? Even Peter. The apostles and descriptions used in revelations (which was written after Paul), all agree with Paul and his writtens. Even him preaching to the gentiles salvation based on faith, not works. It is an interesting concept to claim Paul as a false apostle, but under scrutiny it doesn't hold any water.

2 Peter 3:15-16 King James Version (KJV) 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Jesus was not christian Paul made Christianity and finished in Rome

It seems clear that all God's prophets mentioned in The Bible not only wanted no further changes to scripture, but to return to Qusherat instead of the Kosher of Judaism and would have also opposed the Christian rendering it into a wider gentile context. In a recent video, I made clear that the conflict between Paul and his Apostle's teachings and those of Jesus and companions not only go beyond a couple points, but goes beyond what I had to say about it according to even The Bible.

And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 2 Peter:3:15

This is why I always say that the appropriate name for Christianity should be Paulianity. A lot of people (including Christians) don't realize that the book of Mark was written BEFORE the book of Matthew. The book of Matthew contains the sermon on the mount speech, but the book of Mark doesn't. Also, the books Matthew and Luke very heavily depend on the gospel of Mark. Just my opinion, but I find it very problematic that Mark (the first Gospel) didn't include the sermon on the mount speech because if it indeed happened, it would have been an important event that should have been documented in Mark as well. If Mark was indeed written around 65 - 70AD and Matthew was written in the 80's AD, why did people have to wait so long for an anonymous author to document that part of the oral tradition (sermon on the mount)? Unlike many Christians, I have to ask myself questions about this stuff. Jesus supposedly died around 33AD. The Gospel of Matthew was probably written somewhere around 80-85AD. The sermon on the mount was more than likely a story that had been told through oral tradition for about 50 years until someone finally wrote it down. We all know that undocumented stories told by word of mouth change over time. My guess is that if the sermon on the mount speech really did occur, I'm almost certain that the story we have in Matthew doesn't perfectly match up with what really occurred. I mean, if someone has actually taken good notes on the life of Jesus while he was actually living, I don't think that the person would have waited 50 years to finally decide to write a piece on Jesus' life!!! I find much about the Gospels troubling, but many Christians will ignore what I find troubling. The gospel of Mark ends abruptly with the women being at the empty tomb and telling no one about what they saw. The alternate ending to Mark (16 : 9 - 20) that doesn't leave the reader puzzled started showing up centuries later. It was a scribal addition. The earliest available manuscripts of John don't include the passage about the adulterous woman in John 8 : 1 - 11. It was a scribal addition. Here is my question people. If we know that there were scribal additions that were added in and could not have come from the original authors, isn't it highly possible that a lot of the material in our Bibles is stuff that was just flat out made up? Why do people assume that that everything about the Bible is so honest and pure? Matthew 27 : 52 - 53 speaks of dead saints coming up out of their graves and going into Jerusalem for many people to see. Did that actually happen, was it a lie or is it possible that the author didn't expect people to take him literally? Matthew also mentions the resurrection and ascension. Did that actually happen, was it a lie or is it possible that the author didn't expect people to take that literally either? The fact remains that Christians are basically forced to worship an entity (Jesus) who was written about first by a person (Paul) who only came to know about Jesus from a supposed vision. How many other historical figures can you think of other than Jesus, who were recorded into history where we first get to know about them in spirit and then many years later, anonymous people finally decide to write about their actual lives? Jesus may have very well existed, but I seriously doubt that all we know about him is 100% accurate.

Without law there's chaos.

Jesus also never taught us to renounce our families or friends or homes. He never renounced his own family. The Synoptic Gospels claim that he taught us to renounce everything we have, but in reality he never did such a thing. Renunciation never had a place in Judaism, nor was it a decree in Judaism. Judaism never condemns TV shows, movies, video games, or comic books and graphic novels containing depictions of sin. Psalms 101: 3 only warns us against pursuing idolatry, not watching images of sin in pop culture. Every story needs depictions of good vs evil and depictions of sin so it can be entertaining and in the end good triumphs over evil. Isaiah 65: 22 makes it clear that we will enjoy the works of our hands which includes TV, movies, video games, social media, comic books and graphic novels, music of any kind, and YHWH does not condemn them for containing depictions of sin, since they show that in the end good wins over evil.

Then why would peter affirm the teachings of paul, in 2 Peter 3:15-16.

because you take the Bible out of context, and twist what it says you missed the whole point. Jesus came to fulfill the law. And how did he fill it? In his own words he said,"This is my blood, which is shed for the remission of sins." now, while it is true that some of the new Jewish Christians disagreed with Paul about forcing the Gentiles to follow Moses law, in Acts 15 we find that the apostles and leaders of the church agreed that it was unnecessary to force the Gentiles into the Mosaic law. Quoting them we find that, " they were saved the same way we were, by faith in Christ." this video is just another lame attempt to convince people that the Bible doesn't say what it says by taking things out of context and twisting them. It's up to you whether you want to believe the Bible or not, but at least have the honesty to let it say what it is actually saying.

Only Jesus can release the Holy Spirit into your lives no one else

Remember when there was that man who was healing in Jesus's name? Jesus said to not forbid him since whoever is not against Him is His friend. I've actually struggled with this question for a LONG time, and now, I have some clarity on the whole matter. And my definitive answer is Paul is a true apostle and more than that, God used Paul to show what exemplary discipleship is. Anyways, what led me to this conclusion was that Paul, despite not being one of the 12, led a ministry that was complete opposite to that of Judas Iscariot. Whereas Judas betrayed Jesus for a couple of coins despite being chosen and knowing full well what a Holy life meant, Paul left a high life of luxury as a Roman, Pharisee, Jew, and Celebrity to pursue a humble (even brutal) life with the apostles, despite knowing that he wasn't going to be welcomed with open arms and would take his seat as the lowest of the apostles. Judas, after betraying Jesus, tried to justify himself by giving back his blood money and when he was unsuccessful, instead of facing his curse, he decided to take the easy way out and hung himself. Paul, on the other hand, was persecuted, beaten, stoned, cursed, faced unfair trials, and still got up and kept on going, until he was finally executed and for what? To infiltrate the apostleship? That's pretty dedicated for a mole, I'd say, and if he's willing to go that far, then at least it shows extreme patriotism. Regardless of what Paul taught, (I've come to believe it is sound doctrine), Paul's actions are exemplary of true discipleship, something that Jesus himself applauded. Jesus condemned the Pharisees because they followed the law hypocritically. He condemned the Scribes because they knew how to research their brains out but wouldn't lift a finger to do His will. He blessed His neighbor crucifix-ee because he repented at the last moment. He the went on to let His disciples know just what He looks for in a disciple. Someone who does the Father's Will, someone who produces good fruits, someone who is faithful at heart, someone who doesn't regard worldly things but stores up treasures in heaven, someone who is merciful and who does not oppress the poor, etc. You get the idea. He also mentions that the Lord can lift up stones to His praise. Now Paul fits the bill almost to the tee. He still has flaws, to be sure, but those are due to his upbringing. Nobody can follow God-incarnate's example to the T because well, nobody is God! But Paul did whatever he did to the best of his abilities, despite not having spent time with Jesus. And in turn, Jesus blessed him in abundance. Christianity might have a different flavor if Paul hadn't stepped into the scene, but it might not spread so far into the 20th century. This is no accident. God Willed it! The important points are all there. You might not feel the pressure of the Holy Spirit that you would if you were reading Matthew of John (only Jesus Himself can provide that), but you will know what exactly it takes to produce good fruits, worthy of repentance.

Salvation is a work of God yet more than that, salvation is solely a work of God. Assurance of salvation is possible only if salvation is a work of God alone. If salvation depended upon man’s ability, assurance of salvation would require answering two questions: 1. What works are necessary to meet God’s approval for righteousness? 2. How many works are necessary? No one can answer the above questions therefore assurance of salvation is impossible if salvation depends in any part on a person’s works or good deeds. However, if salvation depends on the work of God and Christ crucified, one can have assurance of salvation. Scriptures is clear that it is impossible for man to gain the approval of God and attain His righteousness through good works. Isaiah wrote, “For all of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment” (Isaiah 64.6). This is the Old Testament witness of man’s righteousness before God. Paul summed up the problem when he wrote, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3.23). Only one righteous man has ever lived-Jesus Christ. Only His works satisfied God. The proof of Jesus’ righteousness and the approval of His work on the cross for our sins was His resurrection from the dead (Romans 1.4). Because of Jesus’ death on the cross and His resurrection, we can have assurance of salvation (1 Corinthians 15.1-4). Paul declared this fact in Romans: But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law (Romans 3.21-28). Continuing a few verses later, Paul wrote, What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? “ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness (Romans 4.1-5). Surely this Scripture is the greatest statement of hope and comfort ever written. It declares divine righteousness is a gift-we cannot work for it. It is for the one who does not work. It is for the one who believes. To the Galatians, Paul wrote, “Nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified ” (Galatians 2.16). “I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly” (Galatians 2.21). Is this clear? Salvation and God’s righteousness is available through trusting Christ-believing He died for you and rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15.1-4). Each of us has sinned and is unrighteous before God. Only by exercising faith in Christ’s work (His death and resurrection) can one be justified before God. No amount of good works can achieve this. It matters not if you've performed all the good deeds of a Mother Teresa or Albert Schweitzer as none of these merit God’s approval for salvation. The only way to God is through trusting the work of His Son, Jesus Christ. God desires that all who have put their faith in Christ know that they have eternal life. The Bible declares that “no condemnation” exists for the believer in Christ (Romans 8.1). Some have said the most important thing is to be saved and the second most important thing is to know it. The one who trusts in Christ can be absolutely certain he/she will be in heaven as Christ is. Is this arrogance? No. It's obeying God. It's believing what He has said. Is it presumptuous to depend on Christ’s righteousness? Is it arrogant to believe Christ’s work satisfied the just demands of a holy God to pay the penalty for our sins? Paul wrote that In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses according to the riches of His grace (Ephesians 1.7). Notice his wording. “we have redemption.” God’s redemption and forgiveness of our sins is not something future or something hoped for. It's a present possession of the believer. Salvation doesn't begin when one dies. Salvation begins when one believes the gospel (1 Corinthians 15.1-4). Paul wrote similar words to the Colossians: For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1.13-14). Again, notice the past tense. Rescued from the domain of darkness, transferred to the kingdom of His Son, redemption, and forgiveness are past actions which become present possessions of the believer. They are not future hopes but actions God did in the past when one believed the gospel. In the same way, eternal life is a present possession for the believer (Romans 5.21, 6.22-23; 2 Thessalonians 2.16; 1 Timothy 1.16; Titus 1.2, 3.7). Eternal life does not begin when a believer dies. It begins when he believes. Those who put their trust in Christ have-not will have, but have eternal life. Can eternal life be lost? If you have eternal life, how long does eternal life last? Further testimony to these truths are the following Scriptures: For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast (Ephesians 2.8-9). But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him (Romans 5.8-9). We begin new life in Christ through trusting in Him and Him alone. No amount of good deeds can approve us to God. Trusting in Christ is believing what God says. The Bible says that Christ died for your sins and was raised from the dead (1 Corinthians 15.1-4). This is the gospel. Will you believe it? Will you trust your life to what it says? Some confuse the simple matter of trusting in Christ with unscriptural appeals to “invite Christ into your heart” or “accept Christ as your Savior.” Such appeals, while well-intentioned, are not the gospel. One is saved by trusting in the Person and work of Jesus on the cross - for us - and in His resurrection-not by “inviting Christ into one’s heart.” Is your trust in the Christ who died for you and was raised for you? Do you trust in Christ’s death and resurrection on your behalf? If the answer is “yes”, then you have God’s own Word and faithfulness that you have eternal life and will spend eternity with Christ. Furthermore, salvation is not something that can be lost because you sin. Jesus’ death solved the sin problem forever. What you do or do not do has no effect on your salvation because it is Christ’s work that is sufficient before God. To believe that you can commit some sin and “lose” your salvation is to believe that your sin is greater than Christ’s work on the cross and the power of His resurrection. Such belief strikes at the very heart of Christ’s work and insults the integrity of God. Salvation is the deliverance from the penalty, power, and presence of sin. This work is both immediate, ongoing, and future. These three aspects of salvation are expressed by theologians as justification, sanctification, and glorification. The moment one believes the gospel (1 Corinthians 15.1-4) one is delivered from the penalty of sin. God imputes his own righteousness and judicially declares the believer to be righteous in his sight (Romans 3.26, 28, 30, 4.5, 5.1). The believer is given a new nature which is alive to God. When one believes he is immediately baptized by the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ (cf. 1 Corinthians 12.13) and God gives him the Holy Spirit as a deposit or down payment (ἀρραβών), 2 Corinthians 1.22, 5.5; Ephesians 1.14) for the hopeful expectation of being delivered from the power and presence of sin. The process of being delivered from the power of sin while we live on this earth is known as sanctification. The final stage of salvation is being delivered from the presence of sin and is known as glorification. This occurs when the believer receives a new, resurrection body (1 Corinthians 15.50-56).

Matthew 7:21" Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father (GOD)which is in heaven. 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? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity". You want to know why?Because you did not followed what Jesus preaches.Jesus said ONE God, but you said trinity.

If paul was false we lose most of the new testament. Also, how could he cast out evil spirits,and raise the dead.

Here's what I think of Saint Paul - it's next to Minneapolis.

John 16 These things I have spoken to you, that ye may not be stumbled, 2out of the synagogues they will put you; but an hour doth come, that every one who hath killed you, may think to offer service unto God; 3and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor me. 4‘But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour may come, ye may remember them, that I said [them] to you, and these things to you from the beginning I did not say, because I was with you;

2 peter 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16. As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, …

So in 2 Peter by Peters own statement that Paul is one of us this also a lie????

DISPENSATIONALISM MAKES SENSE OF JESUS TEACHING AND THE TEACHINGS OF PAUL. GOD HAS JEW AND GENTILE TOGETHER IN ONE NEW MAN.

If this is true, why did Jesus say to abandon your parents to follow him? The 2nd commandment would clearly contradict this. I'm a Paul Skeptic, and this argument couldn't even convince me.

Oh Paul, need no worry many gentiles of modern era love you

Quran 19 When Mary carried Jesus to the people they said Oh Mary, you have done a thing unprecedented. O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste. So Mary pointed to Jesus. People said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?" Then baby Jesus spoke & said, 'I am the servant of Allah . He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakah (giving Charity) as long as I remain alive. And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant. And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive. And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.' Jesus proved to people that his mother is sinless.

he said law will not change untill it is fulfilled and then he said he came to fulfil it...hmmm...done

Deuteronomy 13 1If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, 2And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; 3Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 4Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. 5And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.

Christianity has fallen for the wolf in sheep's clothing. Jesus warned us that many would come in his name .. you will know the false prophets by what they do. Christians are what Jesus is speaking about in Matthew 7: 21. It is not too late. Awakenings are a wonderful thing.
