1 John 2:19 indicates Paul was an antichrist
So, what does this have to do with Paul? Well, we see clearly what John is referring to in Galatians chapter 1 and 2.
Further proof that Paul is antichrist is that in his letter to the...
But the reason that it seems to confirm ... to you flows entirely from your faith in Acts, despite (a) it being clearly a piece of apologetics, and (b) ...
According to Church tradition dating from the 2nd century, the author was Luke, named as a companion of the apostle Paul in three of the...
Let's look at this question: did Christians exist at the time of the Jewish rebellion and the crushing of those that were left in Jerusalem. Not sure if those in Jerusalem at the time were mostly Jews, but I'll try to look at that.
The Jewish Rebellion was put down finally in 73-74 AD, before the probable date that St Luke's Gospel was written:
The gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles make up a two-volume work which scholars call Luke–Acts.[5] Together they account for 27.5% of the New Testament, the largest...
Interesting perspective.
Yes. Jesus called the twelve apostles, according to scripture.
(Mark 3:14) And he formed a group of 12, whom he also named apostles, those who were to accompany him and whom he would send out to preach
Jesus also mentioned God's wisdom in sending apostles.
(Luke 11:49)...
What you'ere missing with the above is the Jewish tradition of having major players be shown with having at least one defect of some type, and a Jewish commentary on this is to show that they are fully human and not demigods. Matter of fact, the Apostles in general are shown as being morally...
I would never say clear, or unequivocal. As far as the Scriptures are concerned, there is a focus on Peter more than the others. but for both better and for worse. And, quite evidently, Paul is the dominant Apostle in the book of Acts, and in regard to his contribution to the New Testament...
I don't understand the question? The general consensus in scholarship is:
"The most probable date for its composition is around AD 80–110, and there is evidence that it was still being revised well into the 2nd century."
So early dates do put it in the first century? Even in 110 that's still...
That's nice, educated people do not agree. The title is a Greek way to say it was said by someone else.
Gospel According to Matthew Euangélion katà Maththaîon; (As told by Matthew)
"The gospel itself does not specify an author, but he was probably a male Jew, standing on the margin between...
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...
Welcome to RF and thanks for your contribution to this thread.
This line of argument assumes that the author of the gospel of John and the letters of John are written by the apostle John. I don't think you can prove that.

15But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, was pleased 16to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood, 17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles...
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...
The author of Acts writes about Peter having a dream and, therefore you claim to know. It never occurs to you to question your source.
Critical scholarship suggests:
