The Apostle Paul was the anti-christ according to the first Christians



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

Who was Saul of Tarsus, aka "Paul"? A PHARISEE, Persecutor and Murderer of the Followers of Yahushua the Messiah, who switched to a covert tactic of infiltration in order to destroy the Gospel from within






Saul observing the stoning of Stephen




Saul of Tarsus was a leading Pharisee (and proclaimed "son of a Pharisee" - Acts 23:6), who lead the persecution of Yahushua and his followers. He was present at the stoning of Stephen (Acts 7:58).

As discussed here, the Messiah, Yahushua of Nazareth, repeatedly and strongly warned his followers to be on guard against the leaven/doctrine of the Pharisees, saying that false prophets would come and deceive MANY of his potential followers.

Based upon all of the evidence against Saul/Paul (outlined on this website, and concisely here) it is apparent that Saul/Paul decided that overt persecution of Yahushuah's followers was not the best tactic to destroy them, but rather covert infiltration and subversion. So he transformed from a persecutor and murderer of the Messiah's disciples into an infiltrator and deceiver who sought to attack the true message of the Gospel from within by masquerading as an "apostle", and spreading false doctrine.

Consider this hypothetical: What if a well known and infamous Satanist and murderer and persecutor of Christians (say like a Charles Manson figure, or a vehemently anti-Christian Jewish Rabbi) were to one day suddenly claim to have had a "miraculous conversion" to Christianity. What would you think of that claim, and of such a man?  Would you be at least a little suspicious of the claim?  Should he go to prison, perhaps face the death penalty for his crimes?  What if this person didn't go to prison for their crimes, but was allowed to roam society as a free man spreading his new version of Christianity?  Wouldn't you expect him to at least be extremely apologetic of his murders and crimes?  What if this man hardly showed any remorse in his many writings for his crimes?  And, incredibly, then this person goes on to have his writings included in the Bible!  And it doesn't stop there. He is then somehow elevated to the title of "greatest apostle", even though he never genuinely was an apostle!



Yes, I was a murder and used to be a Satanist.  But now I claim to be an "apostle" in my letters.  Put my writings in the Bible and call me the "greatest apostle"!



Also, remember that Saul/Paul was not trained by the disciples, the men who walked, talked, and lived with the Messiah. He claimed to have received his knowledge from "revelations." He was not recognized by the true apostles as a genuine apostle. Paul claimed that title for himself.

Saul Aka Paul-The False Prophet and Self Made Apostle

Saul Aka Paul-The False Prophet and Self Made Apostle

 

 

 

It is a common misconception amongst the Christians that Paul and Jesus’ Disciples were unanimous in their preaching of a crucified Jesus. Christians believe that Paul and the Disciples were preaching the same doctrine and everyone believed in the divine Jesus who came to be crucified for the sins of the world. However, if one carefully examines the bible, that person would see that Paul and the disciples were not preaching the same doctrine and did not believe in the same Jesus (pbuh).


The Apostles in Jerusalem heard that Paul has been preaching a different doctrine in Corinthia and Galatia. Paul was telling them not to follow the law anymore and that they don’t have to eat kosher meat anymore or to be circumcised (according to Genesis 17::14, the covenant is broken if there is no circumcision) etc. So the Apostles went to Galatia and Corinthia and convinced everyone that Paul is wrong, when Paul heard about this he went straight back to the cities.
“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel”. [Galatians 1:6]
It says different Gospel, so obviously the disciples were teaching them a different doctrine and it was not just minor issues.

The Disciples of Jesus (pbuh) remembered Paul’s persecutions towards the followers (early Christians) of Jesus. They were very suspicious of Paul. So when he finally came to them (41 B.C.E.) they didn’t believe his lie. They looked at him as a spy.

“And when Saul had come to Jerusalem he tried to Join himself with the Disciples but they were all afraid of him. And did not believe that he was a Disciple.” [Acts 9:26]. As you can see the Disciples didn’t trust him.

PAUL IN THE BIBLE ADMITS HE’S A LIAR AND A DECEIVER:
Paul said, “But be it so, I did not burden you nevertheless, being crafty, I CAUGHT YOU WITH GUILE.” [2 CORINTHIANS 12:16]
Definition of GUILE: means ruse, sharp practice, treachery, trickery and wiliness.)
“For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?” [Romans 3:7]

WHAT JESUS IN THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT THE LIAR:

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.” [John. 8:44-45]


WHAT JESUS SAYS ABOUT THE PHARISEES:

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.” [Matthew 23:15]


PAUL ADMITS HE’S A PHARISEE:

“But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.” [Acts 23:6]


WHAT JESUS SAYS ABOUT PREACHING TO THE GENTILES:

“Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.” [Matthew 10:5-6]
“But he Jesus answered and said, “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” [Matthew 15:24]


BUT PAUL SAYS DIFFERENT…WHO GAVE HIM AUTHORITY TO DO THIS?

Paul rejected this command of NOT preaching to the Gentiles, they were restricted. Paul openly preached among the Gentiles, a totally different religion, but then again paul wasn’t one of Jesus’ disciples anyways. The one who was to come for the Gentiles is mentioned in Isaiah 42. Who clearly is an Arab according to the description of his ancestor, “Kedar” and not a Jew Pharisee like Paul who then attempts to deceive many by assuming the role of the respected prophet to come as prophesied.
Paul said,”For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:” [Romans 11:13]



PAUL’S OWN CONTRADICTIONS:

WHEN PAUL WAS ON THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS HE SAW A LIGHT AND HEARD A VOICE. DID THOSE WHO WERE WITH HIM HEAR THE VOICE?

Yes- “And the men which journeyed with me stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.” [Acts 9:7]

No – “And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.” [Acts 22:9]

CONCERNING THE LAW…GOD & JESUS AGAINST PAUL THE LIAR:

THIS IS WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT HIS LAW:

“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you”. [Deuteronomy 4:2]

“The laws of God have to be considered and committed to memory for life. They have to be practiced, practiced, practiced. In a way, we have to drill, drill, drill, like a soldier in boot camp, so that they become instinctive behaviors. We have to force ourselves, if need be, to yield to them. This is our part in spiritual circumcision because human nature will put up a fight. It does not want to yield.” [Deut 6:4-7]

“You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies and his statutes, which he has commanded you. And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of the LORD, that it may go well with you, and that you may go in and take possession of the good land that the LORD swore to give to your fathers.” [Deuteronomy 6:17-18]

“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.” [Psalms 19:79]

THIS IS WHAT JESUS SAYS ABOUT THE LAWS OF GOD:

“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.” [Matthew 5:17-20]

“And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.” [Luke 18:19]


BUT THIS IS WHAT PAUL SAYS ABOUT THE LAW WHICH CLEARLY CONTRADICTS BOTH GOD AND JESUS:

“Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.  Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” [Romans 3:27-28]

“And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.” [Acts 13:39]

“For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.” [Gatatians 3:10-13]

“Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.” And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.” [Galatians 2:16]


PAUL PLAGIARIZED THAT FROM THE TORAH AND HERE IT IS:

“And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.” [Deuteronomy 21:22-23]

Think about this for one moment. Jesus came to observe and fulfill the law, but Paul said different, Jesus was sinless so therefore this passage should not be ascribed to Jesus. How can someone claim that Jesus was accursed of God and that the law was also a curse when it says different in other places of the Bible? According to Islam, Satan is accursed, not Jesus. Here is the definition of “accursed” so please understand what Paul is teaching in his false doctrine.

ACCURSED: 1. Abominable; hateful: 2. Being under a curse; doomed.


GOD SAYS THAT HIS LAW IS PERFECT NOT A CURSE:
 
“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether”. [Psalms 19:79]


PAUL IS THE FALSE PROPHET NO DOUBT ABOUT IT:
 
“And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time”. [Daniel 7:25]


HISTORICAL QUOTES ABOUT PAUL AND HIS DOCTRINE FROM HISTORIANS, PHILOSPORS, AND THEOLOGIANS:
 
Bishop John S. Spong (Episcopal Bishop of Newark)

“Paul’s words are not the Words of God. They are the words of Paul- a vast difference.”(Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism, p. 104, Harper San Francisco, 1991).


Thomas Jefferson

“Paul was the first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus.” (All references not listed here, can be found in Christianity Betrayed)


Carl Sagan (Scientist; Author)

“My long-time view about Christianity is that it represents an amalgam of two seemingly immiscible parts–the religion of Jesus and the religion of Paul. Thomas Jefferson attempted to excise the Pauline parts of the New Testament. There wasn’t much left when he was done, but it was an inspiring document.” (Letter to Ken Schei [author of Christianity Betrayed])


Albert Schweitzer

“Where possible Paul avoids quoting the teaching of Jesus, in fact even mentioning it. If we had to rely on Paul, we should not know that Jesus taught in parables, had delivered the sermon on the mount, and had taught His disciples the ‘Our Father.’ Even where they are specially relevant, Paul passes over the words of the Lord.”


Wil Durant (Philosopher)

“Paul created a theology of which none but the vaguest warrants can be found in the words of Christ.”
“Fundamentalism is the triumph of Paul over Christ.”


Walter Kaufmann (Professor of Philosophy, Princeton)
“Paul substituted faith in Christ for the Christlike life.”



George Bernard Shaw
“No sooner had Jesus knocked over the dragon of superstition than Paul boldly set it on its legs again in the name of Jesus.”



Thomas Hardy
“The new testament was less a Christiad than a Pauliad.”



Hyam Maccoby (Talmudic Scholar)
“As we have seen, the purposes of the book of Acts is to minimize the conflict between Paul and the leaders of the Jerusalem Church, James and Peter. Peter and Paul, in later Christian tradition, became twin saints, brothers in faith, and the idea that they were historically bitter opponents standing for irreconcilable religious standpoints would have been repudiated with horror. The work of the author of Acts was well done; he rescued Christianity from the imputation of being the individual creation of Paul, and instead gave it a respectable pedigree, as a doctrine with the authority of the so-called Jerusalem Church, conceived as continuous in spirit with the Pauline Gentile Church of Rome. Yet, for all his efforts, the truth of the matter is not hard to recover, if we examine the New Testament evidence with an eye to tell-tale inconsistencies and confusions, rather than with the determination to gloss over and harmonize all difficulties in the interests of an orthodox interpretation.” (The Mythmaker, p.139,Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London, 1986)
Jeremy Bentham (English Philosopher)
“If Christianity needed an Anti-Christ, they needed look no farther than Paul.” (Paraphrased. Looking for a copy of “Not Paul, but Jesus” in order to retrieve the exact quote.)



LET’S WRAP IT UP!

It’s obvious that Paul’s teachings is not in agreement with the teachings of Jesus, so therefore it is deception at best! Sorry to say but in many cases Christians quote a lot of Paul’s writings so in actualality they follow the teachings of Paul not God’s or Jesus’. Christians please humble yourselves and realise that you’re being deceived and lied to and it is now time to accept Islam and worship only God (Allah) alone in order to achieve true salvation and guidance. Ameen!

May Allah forgive me for any errors on my part, Ameen!

POINT OUT Errors or If there is any Lie We feed from our self….If Any Christian find and please Correct us…!

Passage in 2 Peter purportedly supporting Paul's teachings must be fraudulent






Did the Apostle Peter truly endorse Paul?




Those who support the doctrines of Saul of Tarsus especially like to cite a passage in the book of 2 Peter as some of their "strongest evidence" to support the claim that Paul was a true follower of the Messiah and even an "Apostle".

This is somewhat controversial as well, but the evidence indicates that the book of 2nd Peter is actually what is called a "pseudograph", or a fake which was written by another person (probably many centuries after Peter was dead) and then falsely attributed to the apostle Peter. Apparently, even many "mainstream" Bible scholars now acknowledge and admit this, and it is proven by the writing style and other factors. The letter of 1st Peter is apparently genuine.

Putting that issue aside for a second, let's take a look at the passage concerning Paul.


2 Peter 3:15-16

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.



Looking at this passage carefully, we can see that it is fraudulent  Take special notice of the phrase "also the other scriptures" in the passage.  Now, assuming for the sake of argument that Peter truly wrote this book, would he actually refer to the writings of Saul/Paul as "scripture"...indicating it was on the level of the words/writings of the Old Testament prophets and the Messiah?  If Peter actually wrote this, this presumably would have been written while Saul/Paul was still alive.  Do you see the problem?  Typically, you wait until the death of a supposed or self-professed prophet before "canonizing" their writings.  You have to test and try a professed "prophet" to see their whole body of work, and determine whether what they say is true and comes to pass or not.   Therefore, we can see that the book of 2nd Peter was most likely written several centuries after Peter's death by someone else.

And on the issue of how the writings of Paul can possibly be considered as "canon scripture", you have to ask yourself under what authority would one consider the letters and writings of Paul to be "canon scripture".  What makes Paul any different from any other self-professed follower of the Messiah all down through history?  Similarly, can we take the letters and writings of, say, Billy Graham or Rick Warren and put them in the Bible too?  And what about even while those men are still alive?  Preposterous. 

Based upon this, we can conclude that this passage is fraudulent.  Either Peter was not the author of this book....or if he was, this particular passage regarding Paul was inserted by someone else or altered by the translators.  Either way, Peter most certainly would not have said these things about Paul. 



Pharisee Saul of Tarsus was not even one of the 12 true Apostles!! There are only 12 apostles, and no more!








The 13th Apostle?






Saul/Paul was NOT one of the original 12 Apostles, and was not the replacement for Judas.  So how can he claim to be an "apostle"?

Matthias was chosen by the remaining 11 Apostles as the replacement for Judas, as recorded in the book of Acts.

Acts 1:26: "And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles."

The remaining 11 Apostles decided that the criteria for the replacement for Judas was a person who accompanied them and the Messiah during his ministry from the baptism of John until the day he ascended into Heaven, and who witnessed the Messiah after he resurrected.

Acts 1:21-22: "Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us, beginning from John’s baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”

Saul of Tarsus did not meet these criteria.  He did accompany the disciples during the entire course of the ministry of the Messiah.  Saul was not taught the gospel by the Messiah.



 The Gospels and Book of Revelation makes clear that there are only 12 apostles for all time:

Matthew 19:28 - "Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

Revelation 21:14 - "And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb."


Yet Saul/Paul over and over in his epistles claims to be an "apostle." 

The reader should stop and really think about this for just a second.  If the vast majority of self-professed "Christians" can be deceived on a lie as simple and easy to spot as the fact that Pharisee Saul was NOT one of the true 12 apostles, then WHAT ELSE are they being deceived about, in regards to religious doctrine or anything else?  It's really frightening how easy Satan can deceive people.  And I include myself in that category, as I was once deceived on Paul.  It truly is a deeply powerful "spiritual" blindness and power that we are dealing with.  It takes the blessing of the Most High to remove this powerful spiritual blindness from a person, and allow them to see the truth.

Damning "Smoking Gun" Evidence Against Saul/Paul - Paul Admits To Timothy That All In Asia Have Rejected Him - In Revelation, Yahushua Commends the Ephesians For Rejecting False Apostles!



In Paul's second letter to Timothy, believed by many scholars to contain some his last recorded words, he makes a statement which is devastating to Paul's claim to apostleship:

2 Timothy 1:15 "This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me;"


At that time, the term "Asia" referred to the area of modern-day Turkey. This is confirmed in the Book of Revelation, written to the "seven churches in Asia" (Revelation 1:4).

Ephesus, of course, was a city where Saul/Paul had attempted to win converts (see Paul’s letter to the Ephesians).

The fact that many Israelites in Asia opposed Saul/Paul is corroborated in the book of Acts where men from Asia accuse Paul of teaching against the Law, and bringing an Ephesian friend into the temple:

Acts 21: 27-29 "And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him, Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place. (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)"


Now, examine what Yahshua the Messiah says to the Church at Ephesus in Revelation Chapter 2:

Revelation 2:1-2 "Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars"


Stop and consider the significance of this. Saul/Paul, the self-proclaimed "apostle", admits ALL of those in Asia, including the Ephesians, had rejected him. Then Yahshua commends the Ephesians for rejecting false apostles! If you have ears to hear and eyes to see, are you seeing/hearing this? Could it be much more obvious?

Here are the facts, paraphrased:

Paul to the Ephesians: "I am an apostle of Yahshua"
The Ephesians to Paul: "No you're not."
Yahshua to the Ephesians: "Well done!"

Paul Teaches Against Keeping the Law of the Father, saying "we are no longer under the law", in direct contradiction to the Messiah who said we must keep the commandments in order to inherit eternal life. Pharisee Saul lays trap of Satan to damn people to hell!















Of all the deceptions of Satan's apostle Saul/Paul, this is the the most critical and important aspect.

Paul's own writings clearly demonstrate that he taught a completely different doctrine than that of Yahushua the Messiah.  The false apostle Saul/Paul taught against keeping the commandments of YHWH, saying that "the law has been abolished", that “no one is justified by the law”, that those who "rely on observing the law are under a curse", and that “we are not under the law”.

Why is this important?  Because Yahushua of Nazareth the Messiah taught the exact opposite, specifically stating that he did not come to destroy the law, and that one must "do the will of the Father" and keep His commandments in order to obtain eternal life.

The requirement for eternal life.  What could be more important than that?

As a Pharisee and servant of Satan, Saul/Paul cannot suffer to have the Heavenly Father's people enter eternal life, as the Messiah told the Pharisees as recorded in Matthew 23:13, stating: "But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in."



Yahushua teaches that only those who obey the Law of YHWH will be saved:

Matthew 19:16-21 "And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me."


Matthew 7:21-23 "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 which is in heaven. 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? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."



Pharisee Infiltrator Saul/Paul taught that the Law of YHWH was a "curse", "no one is justified by the law", "the law has been abolished", "we are not under the law", and a nebulous doctrine of "salvation by grace through faith":

Galatians 3:10-14 "All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit."


Romans 6:14 "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."


Here in his letter to the Ephesians, Saul teaches that the Messiah "abolished the law of commandments":
Ephesians 2:15 "Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;"



Yet Yahushua the Messiah said:

Matthew 5:17-20 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."



Saul teaches that all one has to do in order to be "saved" is "believe and confess":

Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."


If that is all that is required, do not devils and sons of devils intellectually acknowledge that Yahshua is the Messiah and that he was raised from the dead? What differentiates the wicked/unsaved from the righteous/saved, is that the saved obey the commandments of YHWH.

First of all, we must establish the fact that Satan is temporarily the "god" of this world, and controlling the kingdoms and governments of this world.  The visions given to Daniel and the Apostle John in the book of Revelation illustrated that Satan (the "seven-headed beast" and "Dragon") was the power behind various world empires down through history -- often interpreted as including Babylon, Greece, and Rome.

This Satanic control of the kingdoms of the earth is further confirmed in Matthew Chapter 4, where Satan tempts the Messiah on a high mountain, telling him that he will give him the kingdoms of the earth if he will fall down and worship Satan.   Satan could offer this to the Messiah because he did, in fact, control the kingdoms of the earth.  Psalm 2:2 supports this fact as well: "The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,  Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us."






Paul says in Romans 13:1-13:

"Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority?"





When you really think about this passage by Paul, it is astonishing.  So I guess according to Saul/Paul, the early followers of the Messiah in the Roman Empire should have just bowed down and worshiped Caesar as a "god"?  And what should we today do if an"anti-Christ" government command us to take the Mark of the Beast?  According to Paul we should take the mark of the Beast, because we "must" obey the government.


Should Daniel have complied with King Darius of Persia's law forbidding him to pray to the Heavenly Father, in order to avoid being thrown into the lion's den?   As recorded in the Old Testament, the Israelites Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused to worship an image of Nebuchadnezzar (king of Babylon), and were thrown into a fiery furnace.

The entire history of the Bible is one of the Father's chosen people having to stand up against governments and other powers of this world, which are temporarily under the control of Satan.  Yahushua of Nazareth the Messiah was murdered by the ruling "authorities" and government of his day.  Most of his true 12 Apostles were also murdered by governments.  And the followers of the Messiah in early Rome were then murdered for not complying with decrees which violated the Law of the Most High.

The Problem With Saul/Paul's Claim of "Conversion" On The Road To Damascus - Contradictory Accounts








Saul on the road to Damascus.  Did this really even occur, as he claimed?






Saul/Paul claims to have been "converted" on the road to Damascus (on his way to arrest followers of the Messiah).  But there are problems with this claim. There are three separate accounts of this "conversion event" in the Book of Acts, and they all contradict each other, demonstrating that Saul is lying about it. Secondly, the Scripture says that "at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established" (Deuteronomy 19:15 ), yet Saul never gives us the names of any witnesses to this "conversion event." Like his claim to "apostleship", we are left to take his word alone.


Account #1:

Acts 9:1-7 " And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man."

Note in account above that the author of Acts (Luke, a companion of Paul) says that the men traveling with Saul stood there speechless, they heard the sound, but did not see anyone. Also note here that the voice only tells him to arise and go into the city and THERE it shall be told him what to do.





Account #2: (Saul/Paul speaking to the Jews in Jerusalem):

Acts 22:1-9 "Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you. I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished. And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me. And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me."

Note in account above that Saul/Paul says that the men traveling with Saul did NOT hear the sound, but saw a light, contradicting the account above from Acts, Chapter 9.





Account #3: (Paul before King Agrippa):

Acts 26:12-18 "Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me."

In this account, Paul claims that the voice told him these things he was to do THERE ON THE ROAD. This is a clear departure from the other accounts of the event. The stories cannot be reconciled. At least one is not true.

Saul Directly Contradicts the Messiah on How to Pray






The Messiah withdrew to lonely places when he prayed






Yahushua of Nazareth the Messiah taught his followers to pray in secret...not like the hypocrites, the Pharisees, who prayed out in public:

Matthew 6:5-6

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.  But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.








False apostle and Pharisee Saul of Tarsus on how to pray...like the Pharisees!:

1 Timothy 2:7-8

Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.







Again, not that Saul was a Pharisee.  So is it any wonder, then, that he taught that we should pray as the Pharisees do?!  Out in public, making a show in front of people?  And the Messiah specifically warned against praying as the "hypocrite" Pharisees!  Let those who have eyes to see and ears to hear do so. 

Is it any wonder, then, how the leaders and so-called "pastors" and "priests" of the modern-day apostate "Christian" churches lead their congregations in prayers out in the open?  Is this following the teaching of the Messiah?  Or of the false teacher Paul?  This is following the way of the hypocritical Pharisees, and more about putting on a show, rather than a demonstration of true piety and close relationship with the Heavenly Father.

JoyBySurprise: "Identifying the False Prophet"



Source: http://www.joybysurprise.com/The_False_Prophet.html


Identifying the False Prophet
Printable Version of this page.


YaHuWaH  Tz'va'ot, Commander of the armies of Heaven.
Military Basic Training 101 - Obey the Commander or you can't be in the army.



First Things First
In order to understand the information on this page the reader must understand YaHuWaH 's abhorrence of pagan institutions, which includes the worship of idols and the observance of days dedicated to pagan gods. He alone is rightfully worthy of all praise, honor, and devotion.

The nation of Israel was warned not to observe pagan practices repeatedly, first by YaHuWaH  Himself (at Mt. Sinai) and then by prophet after prophet after Israel entered the promised land. Time and again Israel suffered wars, captivities, and servitude at the hand of foreign nations because the nation fell into pagan idolatry and YaHuWaH 's instructions weren't followed. He alone is rightfully worthy of all praise, honor, and devotion.

Please read the books of Judges and the Kings to appreciate how furious the Father becomes when His people associate themselves with pagan observances and traditions. He alone is rightfully worthy of all praise, honor, and devotion.



The Goal of a Prophet of YaHuWaH  
The goal of both Eliyahu (Elijah) and John the Baptist was to turn the hearts of the children (of Israel) to their heavenly Father.

This central goal of loving the Father was also confirmed by YAHUSHUA Himself in
Matthew 22.
Matthew 22:37  YAHUSHUA said unto him, Thou shalt love YaHuWaH  thy Elohim with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38  This is the first and great commandment.

We are commanded above everything else to love YaHuWaH  with all our hearts.

Obedience is the evidence of love.

2 John 1:6  And this is love, that we walk after His commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.



The Goal of a False Prophet
The goal of a false prophet, described in Deuteronomy chapter 13 of YaHuWaH  's military basic training manual the Torah is to turn the hearts of the people away from honoring (obeying) the instructions of YaHuWaH .   

Deuteronomy 13:1  If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2  And 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;
3  Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for
YaHuWaH  your Elohim proveth you, to know whether ye love YaHuWaH  your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul.
4  Ye shall walk after
YaHuWaH
  your Elohim, and fear Him, and keep His commandments, and obey His voice, and ye shall serve Him, and cleave unto Him.
5  And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death;
because he hath spoken to turn you away from YaHuWaH  your Elohim, 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 YaHuWaH  thy Elohim commanded thee to walk in
. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.


True Prophets
The mark of a true prophet (YAHUSHUA)Mark 19:16  And, behold, one came and said unto Him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17  And He said unto him, Why callest thou Me good? there is none good but one, that is,
YaHuWaH
: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
The mark of a true prophet (YAHUSHUA): Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:19The mark of a true prophet (John): "For this is the love of YaHuWaH , that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome."  1 John 5:3
The mark of a true prophet (Abraham):
Genesis 26:3
  Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
4  And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the Earth be blessed;
5  Because that Abraham obeyed My voice, and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My Torah.

Obedience is the evidence of love.


False Prophets

The purpose of the false prophet is to turn the hearts of the children away from the Father.

The mark of a false prophet (Paul)
:
"But that no one is justified by the Torah in the sight of YaHuWaH  is evident…"   Galatians 3:11

The mark of a false prophet (Paul):
"…for by the works of the Torah no flesh shall be justified."   Galatians 2:16

The mark of a false prophet:
The one who teaches that obedience to the commandments of YaHuWaH  is unimportant and optional.

The mark of a false prophet:The one who teaches that obedience to the commandments of YaHuWaH  brings a curse.


Paul
Paul was a Pharisee and persecuted the early Torah observant believers in YAHUSHUA Messiah. He was acting on the side of the oppressive establishment.

Note: It was the Pharisees who, because of their added instructions to the Torah, considered YAHUSHUA a false Messiah and pushed for His crucifixion. It was these added instructions of the Pharisees to YaHuWaH 's written Torah which blinded the spiritual eyes of the Pharisees to the reality of the perfect human Torah, the Messiah, who stood before them for examination. The Pharisees had been spiritually blinded by disobeying a specific instruction in the Torah Deuteronomy 4:2 'not to add to, or dimminish from', the word of YaHuWaH .
Paul was unsuccessful in his zealous persecution of the Torah observant believers. As a result these early Jewish Messianic believers continued to increase in numbers.

Paul then said that he had had a 'vision' and called himself an Apostle. But he preached not for, but against, the social laws and against the social system of the Torah. He preached against material independence, against social security, against freedom from oppression and exploitation. Most people don't realize that what Paul preached against are the freedoms and outstanding qualities inherent in the Torah that was given by YaHuWaH.


The Messiah said "if the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed." YAHUSHUA the Messiah is identified in John 1:1 as the Word, the living Torah of YaHuWaH .  The main thrust of Messiah's teaching was to embed the Torah into the believer's heart.


Paul's teachings turn people away from the Torah, directly contradicting the instructions of both the Father and the Son. These two witnesses, the Father (Deut. 13:1-5) and the Son Matt. 19:17, John 5:43, Rev. 2:14, Rev. 2:20, Rev. 22:14), declare Paul to be a false prophet.

Paul preached the political ideology of an oppressive establishment which exploited the populace unhindered. His teachings require believers in Messiah to obey oppressive ungodly governments who themselves want to be 'god' in place of YaHuWaH


The fruit of Paul's teachings: One government has removed bible reading and prayer from schools and replaced those virtues with instruction in homosexual perversion. The christians of this nation follow Paul's teachings and humbly and silently submit to what appears to be, in this person's opinion, an oppressive dictatorship. The death of this society will be the fruit of Paul's teachings.

"By their fruits you shall know them", YAHUSHUA Messiah.


The fact is that Paul has been elevated to god status in place of the real God in the hearts of most christians.  Repent!





Paul's Teachings
Although Paul teaches in one place that the Torah is not void, he teaches in another place that it is void. This results in uncertainty and confusion.
 
YaHuWaH  instructs in the book of Leviticus to eat certain foods and not eat others. The foods not to be eaten include pork and shellfish.
 
Christians can plainly read Paul's teachings in 1 Corinthians 8 (below) and justify eating pork and shellfish.
 
 
1 Co 8:7  Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
8  But meat commendeth us not to YaHuWaH : for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
9  But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
10  For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
11  And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
The liberty of the Torah forbids eating pork, just as the liberty of the Garden of Eden forbad the eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Reference verse 8 above: Adam was worse because of what he ate, and so are over 1 billion christians who follow Paul's teachings.
  
Paul equates himself with the Serpent in the garden in verse 8 above. The temptation by both the serpent and Paul concerns eating and having knowledge:
 
Genesis 3:4  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5  For Elohim doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6  And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

Paul's letters to the churches which form the majority of christian doctrine today were written about 60 A.D.


The Rebuke of Paul by YAHUSHUA the Moshiach

In the book of the Revelation (written about 90 A.D.) the letters to the seven churches in Asia contain messages directly from YAHUSHUA the Moshiach rebuking Paul's false teachings.



In 1 Corinthians 8:8 above Paul approves eating things sacrificed to idols. The Messiah directly rebukes Paul's teaching here in Revelation 2:14.

Revelation 2:14  But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------


Here, Paul's false teaching in 1 Corinthians 8:8 is being propagated by a woman and is again rebuked by YAHUSHUA Messiah.

Revelation 2:19  I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
20  Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
21  And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paul and Barnabus declared themselves apostles and subtly belittled Peter and the other apostles who were the chosen eye witnesses of Messiah.

Revelation 2:1   Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
2  I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:


The above rebukes were delivered by YAHUSHUA Moshiaych Himself in approximately 90 A.D., about 30 years after Paul's epistles to the churches were written and began to have their effect on the various congregations. The love of many for YaHuWaH was growing cold because of Paul's teachings. The work of a false prophet is to turn the hearts of the people away from following YaHuWaH .


Christianity today uses Paul's letters to justify ignoring YaHuWaH 's instructions (Torah). 

The Torah is the perfect instruction book for eternal life and living given from the loving Creator to mankind.

YAHUSHUA said in John 14:6 " I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man cometh unto the Father but by Me."

John 14:6 paraphrased " I am the Torah, no man comes to the Father but by Me".

YAHUSHUA the Messiah is the Living Word. YAHUSHUA haMoshiaych is the Living Torah.

John 14:15 " If ye love Me, keep My commandments (Torah)."


Paul's teachings have millions of people today disregarding the Messiah Himself, the Torah, the Way to the Tree of Life.


Matthew 7:15  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16  Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19  Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.


What is the fruit of Paul's teachings? Today there are about 1.9 billion christians who don't care about the Father's instructions. They are isolated from the Father by regarding His instructions as antiquated and irrelevant today. This isolation is known as spiritual death. It's the same death Adam suffered the day he left the Garden. Death is the eventual fruit of Paul's teachings on justification by faith. Faith without works is dead - James chapter 2.


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 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. (iniquity - Strong's 458: anomia - the condition of being without law (Torah))


The statement in Matthew 7:23 above, "I never knew you", is the Jewish idiom for intimate intercourse between a man and a woman. YAHUSHUA haMoshiaych is identified in John 1:1 as the Word, the Living Torah. Today 1.9 billion christians have little or no intercourse with the Torah because of Paul's teachings.

The Messiah indicates in Matthew 7:21 -23 above that many people will have done good works in HIS NAME but He doesn't have an intimate relationship with them. These people will have no knowledge of HIS true nature. These are they who, for example, have ham for dinner on Easter Sunday. Unfortunately the Living Torah has to say "depart from Me" to these christians because they aren't like He is. They are foreign to His set-apart (holy) nature and He won't allow Himself to be defiled by their close association with Him. Paul's teachings have helped to blind christians to this fact and have robbed these christians of eternal reward.

Messianic teachers who try to defend Paul's teachings have to contort and untangle Paul's writings in order to make his teachings appear to be acceptable. I attended a Messianic Fellowship several times but left when I learned members who were formerly Jews were using Paul's teachings to justify shopping on Shabbat.


Revelation 22:13  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14  Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15  For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16  I YAHUSHUA have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.


 

The Witnesses
YaHuWaH  - Even if a prophet gives you signs that come to pass, if he directs your obedience (love) away from Me that prophet is a false prophet. Kill him. Deuteronomy 13:1 - 5 

YaHuWaH
  - Abraham obeyed My voice, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws, therefore I will bless him and perform unto him My oaths. Genesis 26:3 - 5

YAHUSHUA -
The keeping of the commandments of the Father is necessary for one to enter into life.

Matthew 19:16  And, behold, one came and said unto Him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17  And He said unto him, Why callest thou Me good? there is none good but One, that is, YaHuWaH  : but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

(in Hebrew the word "keep" means to "cherish, guard, and protect")

John -  For this is the love of YaHuWaH , that we keep His commandments... 1 John 5:3   
  

Summary
The commander of today's 'christian church' is the false apostle Paul who teaches there is no need to obey the Father's commandments.  
The teachings of Paul and the teachings of YAHUSHUA the Messiah clash head on.
YAHUSHUA told us that heaven and Earth would pass away before anything would be changed concerning the application of the Father's commandments to our lives.
Paul's 'gospel' is not the gospel of YAHUSHUA haMoshiaych. 
Paul is identified by the Father and His Son as a false prophet. 

Paul has very nearly accomplished his original goal, the destruction of true christianity.  A Pharisee of the Pharisees indeed.
 

Please search these things out for yourself.


The Final Warning from YAHUSHUA

Revelation 22:12  And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13  I am Alpha and Omega (Aleph and Tav), the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14  Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.



A Question from a Reader
:


If Paul is a false prophet, why are his epistles in the bible?


There are at least two answers to this question. Here's the first response:
The books of the bible were chosen by groups of christians. Catholics have chosen certain books to be included in their Catholic bible. Protestants have chosen certain books to be included in their bibles. Here is a link that will help explain biblical canon.
 
 
Hundreds of epistles, manuscripts, and books were examined by these canon groups, and what these groups considered to be the best books were included in their "version of the bible". You will find additional books in some Catholic bibles that are not included in protestant bibles. These additional books are called the apocrypha.
 
The problem:
 
The books to be included in the bible were chosen by men who had been taught to think and believe a certain way. The epistles of Paul were chosen because those epistles agreed with the views that the men held who were deciding what books should be in their canon (their version of the bible).
 
In the 4th century AD the true church received a major attack that did great harm. Roman Emperor Constantine declared christianity to be the state religion of the Roman Empire. Immediately, unconverted pagans flooded the church because it was now 'politically correct' to be a christian. Constantine then convened a church council and forced them to change the observance of the 7th day Sabbath to Sunday. He also forced the church to adopt Easter instead of Passover. Constantine did this because the purpose for him declaring christianity as the state religion was to unify the pagan and the christian people and bring political stability and peace to his Empire. The commandments of the Almighty YaHuWaH  to observe the Sabbath and Passover were gone. In their places were the pagan observances of Ishtar (Easter), where eggs were dipped in the blood of sacrificed infants, and Sunday the 1st day of the week when the pagans worshipped the sun god, and December 25 the day of the birth of the pagan sun god . True Christianity was forcefully paganized by Constantine. In effect the bride of Messiah was spiritually raped by Constantine. The Roman church then gave herself over to indulge in further pagan abominations and became a spiritual harlot, and the mother of spiritual harlots. These pagan abominations were passed from pagan Babylon to Rome and then to the Roman church. The title 'Pontifex Maximus' was the title of the High Priest of pagan ancient Babylon. That title was passed from the pagan Babylonian priesthood to the Roman Caesars to the Bishop of Rome. The pope holds that ancient Babylonian pagan title, Pontifex Maximus, today. This identifies the Roman church as the 'Mystery Babylon' of the book of Revelation. The obelisk is a fertility symbol of pagan origin and is publicly displayed, commonly in the form of church steeples, in Mystery Babylon.  
 
Since the 4th century AD the church has observed Sunday and Easter and December 25. That's the big problem. Because of sin, the spiritual understanding of church leaders and members was, and is today, diminished. The definition of sin is 'disobedience to the commandments of YaHuWaH  '. 

After many centuries of observing Sunday, Lent (derived from the pagan weeping for Tammuz), etc., and other pagan traditions, the people who were going to choose the books that would be included in the bible canon met together to make their choices. Because of the way they looked at things with darkened understanding, they chose the books that went along with what they believed to be true. And they rejected other books and manuscripts that didn't agree with their perceptions and views.
 
Paul's epistles agreed with what these men believed, so they included Paul's epistles in their biblical canon, their version of the bible.
 
So, everyone trusted these men who put the bible canon together and accepted what they had chosen as being above reproach. They were biblical scholars of the finest degree, but lacking complete spiritual understanding. 
 
The canon scholars didn't notice that what Paul teaches doesn't agree with what Jesus teaches or what YaHuWaH  teaches or what John teaches.
 
Most of the church today follows Paul, not Jesus or His Father.
 
What is brought out on this webpage is that one aspect of following Jesus is to obey the Father's commandments. Paul says you don't have to obey the Father's commandments. Jesus says obey the Father.  Almost 100% of christians now follow Paul and think he's the greatest teacher in the  bible. The truth is that his epistles probably shouldn't be in the bible. They are anti-Jesus, antichrist.  
 
That's what happens when we trust men to put a bible together for us. They were deceived, so we are deceived.
 
We must search these things out for ourselves because we are responsible for ourselves and those following us.

The epistles of Paul may have a very real purpose as revealed in the second answer below.



Now the second response to the question of why Paul's epistles are in the bible:

Like Gideon's army, an army is being selected by YaHuWaH  . Many are called but few are chosen. Only 300 men were selected out of 32,000 by YaHuWaH  to accompany Gideon in battle. The ones who were chosen were watching as they drank water from the brook.

As we drink from the living water of the bible, few of us will be aware of the need to keep the Father's commandments because many pastors today, as Paul, tell us the need for obedience is done away with.

YAHUSHUA told us that heaven and Earth would pass away before anything would be changed concerning the application of the Father's commandments to our lives.

Only certain people will be aware of the instructions issued by YaHuWaH  in Deuteronomy 13:1-3 concerning the purpose of a false prophet, and many fewer people will recognize Paul as a false prophet.  

Deuteronomy 13:1  If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2  And 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;
3  Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for YaHuWaH  your Elohiym proveth you, to know whether ye love YaHuWaH  your Elohiym with all your heart and with all your soul.
YaHuWaH  may allow Paul's epistles to be in the bible canon in order to separate out, and set apart like Gideon's army, an army of people who's hearts are perfect toward Him.


In ancient Jewish culture the father selected the bride (helper) for his son.

Please don't be deceived. The Father hasn't authorized any man or body of men to change His appointed Sabbaths, Feasts, or commandments.
