Without having to write this myself, I am copying some of the most usual references:
297) …What I would now explain is this, that the Pharisees have passed on to the people a great many observances handed down by their fathers, which are not written down in the law of Moses.PHILO 10.2.2 THE...
Of course only God fully knows the reason Paul was chosen, but the scriptures do say he was zealous toward God and exceedingly zealous for the religious traditions of his fathers ( Acts 22:3 ; Galatians1:14). So he may have had just the personality and character to be used of God to remain...
You take the scriptures out of context.
Please take note of the surrounding verses so the context can be understood.
Gal 1:13 Of course, you heard about my conduct formerly in Juʹda·ism,+ that I kept intensely persecuting the congregation of God and devastating it;+ 14 and I was making...
You misunderstand and misapply the scriptures, as I pointed out before.
Paul never stopped being a Jew
?
What does that mean? How does a Jew stop being a Jew? Do they become a Gentile?
Do you understand what you are saying?
Do you actually read the Bible, or do you just look for verses, then...
I give you an exact quote from the Bible that proves what I am saying is right and then you reply that I do not use the Bible as a basis for my beliefs.
Paul never stopped being a Jew, what Paul added to his old religion is the name Jesus to represent the military Christ the Jews are expecting...
So Paul is back to relying on delusion. At least he admitted that he was never taught this. I too can claim that I have a perfect knowledge of Jesus that was planted into my brain. Also like many delusional people he claimed to be "advanced". Please note that he admits that he saw...
Galatians 1:11-24
Paul says
"11I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. 12I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
13For you have heard of my previous way of life in...
Everytime a new translation comes, words change to please the translator. I quoted the KJV. Changing translations changes perception. Jesus told us not to trust the scribes (controllers of words). Only the Spirit reveals the truth. And the Spirit uses images, not words.
Truth did not come into...
I have found the term “religion” in the bible around 15 times, and the most pertinent would be the following. None of them mentioned the “priesthood” of the Jews, but most of them were from Paul. As for the priesthood itself, it will be brought back (Malachi 3:1-3).
Malachi 3: 1“Behold, I...
Paul has already told us back in verse 5 “For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.”
So we know beyond any doubt that in verses 9-10 he has to be speaking of the man he was before he had met with faith in...
The thinking that we see Paul doing in the New Testament gets it's roots in the old Testament view of Jerusalem as the mother of Jacob's children, into whose womb the seed of Israel was entered to a covenant between her and God whereby she would prepare or develop Israel's seed as children of...
11But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I...
It was not pPauls education that made Paul so amazing, it was his relationship with the Spirit of truth. god started his ministry by knocking him off his horse (spiritually speaking) his religious horse. For he was a pharasee or the religious of his day and blinded him. he was already blind by...
Is there any corresponding Jewish scripture? If so, please quote it. The Mosaic Law was written for Jews ALONE. To nullify the Mosaic Law, it MUST be shown by Jewish scripture not Christian scripture. Whats next, nullifying Christian scripture using Hindu scripture?
I question Pauls...
You mean the OT worshipping roman authors who wrote the bible and made the jews out to be the bad guys??
heres the material im talking about with the Z
for what its worth, I have a hard time thinking paul is any sort of zealot

The Bible says much about "tradition." In the New Testament, the words "traditions" and "tradition" occur 14 times. There are eight references (Matt. 15:2,3,6: Mark 7:3,5, 8,9,13) in which Christ makes statements about traditions, which are derogatory. In Colossians 2:8 and Galatians1:14...
"Seek Jehovah, All You Meek Ones"
"SEEK Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth, who have practiced His own judicial decision. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably you may be concealed in the day of Jehovahs anger."Zephaniah 2:3.
The prophet Zephaniah addressed those words to the...
