Paul: how he invented the current Christianfaith & destroyed that

One of the most confusing sections of the Bible is those

epistles

(letters) that Paul wrote. They are not considered "gospels"

& yet

they fill more than half the pages of the New Testament.

They

contain a lot of contradictory statements & are the real

cause forthe deviation of current Christianity from its original

righteous

path. They were the seed that started the division of the

Christian

faith into several opposing sects. From the moment these

epistles

were included in the holy book, Christianity kept driftingfarther &

farther away from its simple forgiving origins. The core of

today's

Christianity barely has any connection with Jesus'

preaching & has

even shifted far from Paul's deviations (absurd as they may

be):

1. Paul claimed that Jesus is "the Son of God" Romans1: 4,

but

not "the God". He is a Lord that comes 2nd to the Father.


2/30

2. Paul never stated that God (the father) & Christ (the son)

are

one.

3. Paul did not say that God & Christ are equal. Paul

defined God as

the father/the creator/the almighty/the greatest, while Jesus

was

always the follower who takes after the father.

4. Paul never referred to any "trinity".

5. Paul did not designate mother Mary any divinity & never

called

her "the mother of Light (God)".

Paul may have put down the foundation of Christianity, but

the

Patriarchs/Monks/Priests throughout the years have added amulti-

story building on top of this base, a building that Paul

himself

(let alone Jesus Christ) never intended to be erected!

Notes on Paul's autobiography [according to Acts (of the

Apostles)

in the Holy Book]

1. In Acts 9 Saul (Paul's original Jewish name before


3/30

embracing

Christianity) is portrayed (years after the ascent of Christ to

Heaven) as a fanatic anti-Christ Jew who was "breathingout

murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord." He

went to the

high priest of Jerusalem & asked him for letters from him

to the

synagogues of Damascus deputizing Saul to arrest any man

or woman

embracing the new religion & bring them bound in chainsback to

Jerusalem. "As he journeyed & came near Damascus, a

light from

Heaven suddenly flashed around him making him fall to

the ground. He

then heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul why are you

persecuting me?" So he said, "Who are you, Lord?" ThenJesus

replied, "I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. Get up &

get into the

city & you will be told what you must do." At this very

moment Saul

shifted his beliefs from the far-left anti-Christ stand to

become a

far right fanatic pro-Christ! Now, three versions of this

incident

appear in this section of the Bible [Acts], not one of them is

identical with the other. So let's review them & note the


4/30

differences:

a) In Acts 9 "The men travelling with Saul stood there

speechless;they heard the sound but did not see anyone. Saul got up

from the

ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing.

They led

him by the hand to Damascus. For 3 days he was blind &

did not eat

or drink anything."

b) In Acts 22: 9 "my companions indeed saw the light &

were afraid,

but they did not hear the voice.."

c) In Acts 26: 13 " along the road I saw a light from

Heaven

stronger than the sun, shining around me & those whojourneyed with

me. We all had fallen to the ground when I heard a voice

speaking to

me in Hebrew"

So, in version (a) the companions heard the sound but did

not see

the light & Saul was blinded. In version (b) they saw the

light but

did not hear the voice. In version (c) all of them fell to the

ground (not just Saul as in a). How can the same crucial

event be


5/30

narrated by the same man (Paul) in the same chapter (only

few pages

apart) of the same book (the Bible) & be that different?

There is noplausible explanation other than being a fabrication or that

the man

is feeble-minded.

2. Now let us carry on with the story in Acts 9 "In

Damascus there

was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a

vision, "Arise & go to the house of Judas on the streetnamed

Straight & ask for the man from Tarsus, Saul, for he is

praying. In

a vision he saw a man named Ananias coming in & putting

his hand on

him to restore his sight." Ananias said to the Lord, "I have

heardfrom many about the man & all the harm he has done to

Your saints in

Jerusalem. He has come here with an authority from the

chief priests

to arrest all who call on your name." But the Lord said to

him, "Go,

this man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before

the

Gentiles & their kings & before the people of Israel." Then

Ananias

went into the house & on placing his hands on Saul he said,

"Brother


6/30

Saul, the Lord Jesus-who appeared to you on the road as

you were

coming here-has sent me so that you may see again & be

filled withthe Holy Spirit. Immediately something like scales fell

from Saul's

eyes & he could see again. He got up & was baptized. After

taking

some food, he regained his strength. Immediately, he began

to preach

in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God. " All of a

suddenPaul becomes "Immediately" an expert in Christianity &

begins

preaching it! And what does he preach: that Jesus is the son

of God.

Who taught him that? Where has he learned the principles

of his

preachings? Also, there is a historic flop as Damascus didnot have

synagogues at the time being an enemy of the Jews." All

those who

heard him were astonished & asked, "Isn't he the same man

who

destroyed all those who called on this name [Christ]? &

hasn't he

come here for the purpose of taking them bound in chains

as

prisoners to the chief priests?" They were astonished then

& we are

still amazed now! "After many days had gone by, the Jews


7/30

conspired

to kill him, but Saul learned of their plan but his

followers took

him by night & lowered him in a large basket through anopening in

the wall [surrounding Damascus]. When he reached

Jerusalem he tried

to join the disciples [of Jesus] but they were all afraid of

him &

didn't believe that he was really a disciple. But Barnabas

took him

& brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul onhis journey

to Damascus had seen the Lord & that the Lord had spoken

to him, &

how in Damascus he has preached fearlessly in the name of

Jesus. So

Saul stayed in Jerusalem with them & he moved freely

speaking boldlyin the name of the Lord. He disputed with the Hellenists

[Greeks] &

they tried to kill him. When the brothers learned of this,

they

brought him to Caesarea & sent him to Tarsus." One small

remark, the

occupants (at that time) were Romans & not Greeks!

3. The narration stops here to be resumed in Acts 11: 22

when the

church in Jerusalem learns of the great number of believers

(including many non-Jews) turning to Jesus' message in the


8/30

north, so

they decide to send Barnabas to Antioch to teach the new

believers.

He went to Tarsus to fetch Paul, found him & took himback with him

to Tarsus where they stayed preaching in the Church for

one year. "

And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch"

Acts 11:

26. Isn't this strange? Jesus never gave his message,

followers &

disciples a particular name during his stay on earth. Now,several

years after his ascent to heaven, there comes someone

whom Jesus

never met: a zealot enemy of his message who suddenly

turns towards

it because of an alleged vision of Jesus. Out of a sense of

self-guilt & repentance for his previous attitudes or out of a

cunning

desire to degrade the message of its forgiving humble

goodness

*******, this man (Paul) begins preaching a new religion

exalting

Jesus to the divine levels of God & gives it the name

(Christianity)

that the founder of it dared never use; a name implying that

followers now worship Christ rather than the Creator of

Christ, the

Almighty God. Furthermore, Paul disobeys the rules of


9/30

preaching that

his master had set, he preaches to non-Jews (Gentiles) & in

a land

far up north of where Jesus intended his message to beconfined; "Jesus said 'I was sent only to the lost sheep of

Israel'"

Mathew: 15: 24.

4. While preaching in Cyprus, together with Barnabas, the

Holy Book

tells us that Saul has suddenly changed his name to Paul &

noreasons are given, "Then Saul, who also is called Paul,

became

filled with the Holy spirit.." Acts 13: 9. So what does this

Saul or

Paul say about his origin? We become really very much

confused about

a man who seems not to know his origin (or is deliberatelychanging

or hiding it), a man who is sainted & considered the

founder of the

current Christian faith by most Christians. In Acts 16: 37

we find

that Paul is Roman, "But Paul said to them, "They have

beaten us

publicly without being condemned in any trial even though

we are

Romans." In Acts 21: 37 Paul is thought to be an Egyptian,

but he

addresses the Jerusalem mob saying that he is a Jew from


10/30

Tarsus; "

Then as Paul was about to be led to the barracks, he asked

the

commander in Greek, 'May I say something to you?' Thecommander

said, "Do you speak Greek? Aren't you the Egyptian who

sometime ago

stirred up a revolt & led 4000 terrorists out into the desert?'

Paul

answered, 'I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia" In Acts 22:

25-28

Paul again insists that he was Roman, not a one whoobtained the

citizenship but born Roman, " As Paul was bound with

thongs to be

flogged, he said to the centurion [commander of 100

soldiers] who

stood by, ' Is it lawful for you to scourge a Roman citizen

whohasn't been found guilty?'. the commander said to him,

'Are you

Roman?' Paul said, 'Yes.' The commander said, 'I had to

pay a big

price to obtain my Roman citizenship.' And Paul said, 'But

I was

born a citizen [Roman]." Still, for more confusion, in Acts

23: 6

Paul shouts out loud that he is a Pharisee! " But when Paul

perceived that some of the members of the Sanhedrin [high

Jewish

council] were Sadducees & the others Pharisees [2 different


11/30

Jewish

creeds], he cried out in the council 'My brothers I am a

Pharisee &

the son of a Pharisee.."

5. To carry on with Paul's story (according to Acts), in

Jerusalem

Paul was arrested in the temple by Jews from Asia

shouting, "he is

the man who is teaching against the laws of Jews" Acts

21:28, he was

rescued from the mob by Roman soldiers. He was given ahearing

infront of the Jewish council & there was a plot to kill him

from

which he was saved & deported to Caesarea where he spent

sometime in

prison. The Jews in Jerusalem have plotted to kill the

imprisonedPaul. He knows of the plot & the commander of the

barracks lets him

leave at night escorted safely to Caesarea with a note to its

governor Felix urging him to make Paul stand trial infront

of his

accusers. Paul was imprisoned for almost 2 years after the

trial

until Festus succeeded Felix. The new governor re-trialed

Paul in

the presence of King Agrippa, & their verdict was to agree

on Paul's

appeal to be in the custody of Caesar in Rome. He was


12/30

called by

Festus "insane" Acts 27:24. After a weary 3-month sea

journey in

which the ship sank & Paul passed by Malta & Alexandria(of Egypt),

they finally reached Rome. There, Paul stayed for 2 whole

years in a

house he rented boldly preaching the kingdom of God & all

about

Jesus Christ. .. In Acts 28:17 it is stated that Paul spent 2

years

teaching & preaching freely the Jews in Rome (despite of acontradictory statement in Acts 18:2 in which it is

mentioned that

earlier "Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome"!)

History

informs us that Paul was killed by the sword in Rome.

6. It is noticed that Paul has introduced in his preachings alot of

new rituals & beliefs that Jesus never preached. He told the

Jews &

Gentiles to turn away from Moses laws (commandments)

[Acts 21: 21],

especially circumcision (Acts 15:2). He was a hypocrite

that talked

to every sect in the way they believe, as when he

circumcised his

follower Timothy (Acts 16:3) while preaching among the

Jews of Derbe

& Lystra (despite being against circumcision Galatians


13/30

5:2/3:12); &

as he did with the Greeks in Athens when he felt distressed

by the

many idol statues he saw there & yet when he preached theAthenians

he told them that the altar they had on which is inscribed

"To an

unknown God" could be worshiped as The Almighty God

creator of the

world (Acts 17: 16-25) . Other signs of his hypocrisy are

encountered in his praise for the Old Testament (Moses

law) when heis addressing Jews [as in Romans 1:16/2:13/3:31/7:12], yet

he

degrades the book & the law when talking to non-Jews

[Galatians

2:16/3:1-3/3:11-12/3:19/4:5]. He introduced some pagan

rituals into

Christianity {as offering sacrifice, Acts 14:13 and formingchurches

& churchmen hierarchy, Acts 14:23/20:28, and also in

Turkey (Corinth

& Ephesus) when he found that disciples of John the

Baptist had

preceded them there preaching the true religion, he

invented the

ritual of receiving the Holy Spirit in baptization, Acts 19}.

Although Paul referred to Jesus as the Christ/the Lord/the

Savior of

Israel, he still maintained God's superiority over Jesus

[Acts


14/30

13:23/17:3/17:31].

The status of God & Jesus in Paul's epistles

Christians of today have a sound belief that Paul wrote

these

epistles (letters) by direct revelation from the Holy Spirit.

Hence,

they have included them as part of the Holy Book (found

after Acts).Next, we will review some of the ******* of these epistles

that

became the core of the prevalent Christian faith of today

(according

to Paul).

ROMANS

1. "..His son Jesus Christ, our Lord, who was a descendent

of David

according to the flesh, & declared to be the son of God

through the

Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead."

Romans 1: 3-

4. Here is stated the first aberration from the true message

of

Jesus. Paul raises him to the rank of the "son of God" &

endows upon

him 2 natures: one human "to the flesh" & the other "divine


15/30

spiritual".

2. "Grace & peace to you from God our father & from theLord Jesus

Christ" Romans 1:7. Here divinity is divided between 2:

God & Jesus

(father & son) with no mention of any 3rd entity sharing

this

divinity (the holy spirit).

3. "..I thank my God through Jesus ChristGod, whom Iserve with my

whole heart" Romans1: 8-9. Here Paul starts specifying

privileges &

functions to each of his 2 divine entities: thanking is a

function

of Jesus while worshipping is to God.

3. " [God] has left the sins committed in the past

unpunished, & to

demonstrate his righteousness at the present time that He

might be

just & the justifier of those who have faith in Jesus"

Romans

3:26, "..in the day that God will judge the secrets of men by

Jesus

Christ, according to my gospel" Romans 2:16. These verses

indicate

that God's righteousness & forgiveness to people occur

through their


16/30

faith in Jesus (rather than the message of Jesus). Then Paul

refers

to his own gospel, where is it??

4. In Romans 3:25 "God presented him {Jesus} as a

sacrifice/atonement/propitiation by his blood, through

faith" & in

Romans 5:8 " But God demonstrates his love to us in this:

while we

were still sinners, Christ died for us". This implies that the

sins

of mankind of the past & the present are nullified by Jesus'sacrifice of his blood & faith in such sacrifice (another of

Paul's

numerous additions to the original faith). One can't help

wondering

how God had no mercy on his so-called "son" by making

him suffer

like that! Wasn't there any other more merciful way inGod's endless

powers to provide love & forgiveness to his subjects?

5. In Romans 5: 18-19 " Therefore, just as through one

man's offense

condemnation came to all men, so also through one man's

righteous

act justification of life came to all men. For as by one man's

disobedience [Adam] many were made sinners, so also by

one man's

obedience [Jesus] many will be made righteous." In


17/30

Romans

6:11 "..count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in

Christ

Jesus". Here is another serious shift of faith. A man is notjudged

by his own sins & deeds, but rather by those of others! If

you do

bad, Jesus' sacrifice has provided you with propitiation,

redemption

& atonement provided you just believe in that. Conversely,

if you do

good, you still remain a sinner (being of Adam's seed)!

6. In Romans 1:21-23 " Although they knew God, they

neither

glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their

thinking

became futile & their hearts darkened. Although they

claimed to bewise, they became fools & exchanged the glory of the

immortal God

for images of mortal man, birds, four-footed animals &

reptiles."

Very strong right statement, so why did Christians (under

Paul) did

not do what he preached? Why do they pray to images &

statues of

Jesus, Mary & Saints?

7. "The One who raised Christ from the dead will also give

life to


18/30

your mortal bodies through his Spirit who lives in you"

Romans 8:11.

We have no objection to that statement for it demonstrates

that Godcontrols all. But note the capital "S" in spirit & the

pronoun "who", both implying that God's spirit is

something separate

from God, an independent entity. If we return to the

original ******

from which this is translated, we will find how seemingly

simple

insinuations like this can change the whole faith. Just put asmall "s'" & use the pronoun "that" & all is right again with

God

being One, not two or three.

8. Another flop in translation is seen in Romans 8:15 " &

by him we

cry, 'Abba, father'..". This is by no means a referral to thefamous

Swedish pop group of the 1970's in the Holy Book! This is

an "intended" mis-translation. As "Abba" means father in

Arabic &

Hebrew, the verse would correctly read ".. Father of our

father"

implying that Jesus is the son of God & those who believe

in him

have become their sons. In other words, God is the

grandfather of

believers in Paul's depiction of Christ! This is further

assured in


19/30

Romans 8:17 " If we are children, then we are heirs -heirs

of God &

co-heirs with Christ"

9. "The Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will

of

God" Romans 8:27, "It is Christ who died, & furthermore is

also

risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes

intercession for us" Romans 8:34. So, both the Spirit &

Jesus willintercede for us at God. Now the Spirit is given an entity &

powers

to promote for the formation of a trinity.

10. "And from whom [the Israelites] comes the

human/flesh of

Christ, who is the eternally blessed God over all" Romans9:5. Hold

on. What is this? Jesus is the "eternally blessed God over

all"!

Wasn't he the son of the father (God) whom God had risen

from the

dead & is sitting to his right? Are they one or two? Now

read

this, "for there is no authority except from God" Romans

13:1, and

this, " Now I say that Jesus has become a servant to the

circumcision for the truth of God" Romans 15: 8. Are you

confused?


20/30

You have the right to be. In one verse Jesus is the eternally

blessed God & in the other he is a servant of the

circumcision

(meaning the law of the Jews) with God having all theauthority.

HEBREWS

1. "In the past God spoke to our forefathers through

prophets, in

these last days He has spoken to us by His son, whom he

appointedheir of all things & through whom he has made the worlds"

Hebrews

1:1-2. Here Jesus is the son of God. Now read this; "It was

fitting

for God, for whom & through whom everything exists, in

bringing many

sons to glory, to make the captain of salvation perfectthrough

suffering. As both the one who sanctifies & those who are

being

sanctified are all of one family, for which reason Jesus is

not

ashamed to call them brothers" Hebrews 2:10-11. Here God

is the

almighty & Jesus is a suffering person leading others to

salvation &

thus becoming his brothers, i.e. all believers become the

sons of

God. Furthermore, to God the creator of all, Jesus is a


21/30

faithful

appointed prophet, same as Moses. "He [Christ] was

faithful to the

one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in allGod's

house" Hebrews 3: 2. But Paul retreats from this fact right

in the

following verses, as if it was a slip of the tongue " Jesus has

been

found worthy of more glory than MosesMoses indeed

was faithful as a

servant in all God's house, testifying to what would be saidin the

future. But Christ is faithful as a son over his God's

house"

2. God has placed Jesus superior to the angels in Hebrews

1: 4 " He

[Christ] sat at the right side of the Majesty in heavenhaving

become so much better the angels." But, Jesus is retreated

to a

position lower than angels in the following paragraph, "But

we see

Jesus, who was put a little lower than the angels, now

crowned with

glory & honor for the suffering of death" Hebrews 2: 9. So

which

verse do we believe?

3. "Every high priest is selected from among men & is


22/30

appointed to

represent them in matters pertaining to GodNo one takes

this honor

upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.So also

Christ did not glorify himself to become high priest. It was

God who

called upon him "you are a priest forever, in the order of

Melchizedek" Hebrews 5: 1-6/7:17--25. So, Jesus Christ

has the rank

of a "high priest", same as Aaron & Melchizedek. The

latter isexalted to a very high status in Hebrews 7 being appointed

a priest

forever without being a descendant of Levi, with no known

genealogy,

without beginning of days or end of life & a Son of God.

Jesus is

likened to him.

4. " You have come to God, the judge of all & to Jesus

the mediator

of the new convenant" Hebrews 12: 23. So Jesus here is

just a

mediator between God & the people, while God controls

all. " May God

of peace who brought up Jesus from the dead.may He

make you

equipped to do His will & may he work in us what is

pleasant to

Him" Hebrews 13:20-21. So God, the almighty, revived


23/30

Jesus from the

dead & he is the One who makes people complete to fulfill

His

will. "During the days of his life on earth, he [Jesus]offered up

prayers & petitions with loud cries & tears to the One who

could

save him from death; & he was heard because of his

reverent

submission to God" Hebrews 5:7. So Jesus was just a

suffering

fearing human who begged God the almighty "in loud cries& tears" to

save him from death, & God did that.

5. "For we have become partners in Jesus if we hold on to

the

confidence we had in the beginning to the end" Hebrews

3:14. "For itis impossible for those who have once been enlightened, &

have

tasted the heavenly gift (of faith), & have become partners

of the

Holy Spirit" Hebrews 6: 4. Here, we learn that believers

in the

faith become partakers of Jesus & of the Holy Spirit.

General remarks on Paul's concepts of God & Jesus

1. Paul did not deny any of God's s superior qualities &

high


24/30

status. He remains the Majesty, the Creator & the Judge of

all. It

was God who raised Jesus from the dead & who endowed

upon him theexalted level of high priest & son.

2. Jesus Christ remains human with human qualities &

submission to

God. Despite attaining higher ranks up to the level of son of

God,

he still needed God to raise him from the dead & was

required toplead for that. He sits on the right side of God in heaven,

but not

on the throne. He stays second to God whenever both are

mentioned in

the same con****. Paul has never given him any of the

supreme

qualities of God. His high status, powers & miracles are allascribed to God.

Paul's innovations in Christian faith

1. Disciples of the way (followers of Jesus' message) were

first

called "Christians" by Paul & Barnabas at Antioch several

years

after Jesus left our earth [Acts 11:26]. It is not just a change

of

name. The implications are grave, for now the principle of

unity of


25/30

God has been shattered & Christ has become "the Lord"

together with

God. This paved the way for the later emergence of the

trinity withholiness & divinity shared by 3 entities (father, son &

spirit).

2. He constructed the Church & organized its hierarchy of

apostles,

prophets, priests, elderly, etc [Acts 14:23/15:6/20:28 & 1

Corinthians 12:28 & Titus 1:5]. He then added the ranks ofbishops &

deacons [Philippians 1:1]. He stated the qualifications for

being

appointed in these positions [1 Timothy 3: 1-13]. Among

several

conditions required, a bishop or deacon must be the

husband of onlyone wife (indicating that polygamy was the rule at the time,

years

after Jesus has gone), & he must be sober & not given to

much wine

(drinks, but not much to the state of being addicted to

liquor)!

3. Concerning his attitude to alcohol (spirits), Paul does not

prohibit it (even to clergymen, vide supra). As a matter of

fact, we

could say that he insinuates encouraging its consumption.


26/30

In

1Timothy 5:23, " No longer drink only water, but use a

little wine

for your stomach's sake & your frequent infirmities." In1Corinthians 11:25, "He [Christ] took the cup [of wine]

after supper

saying, ' this cup is the new convenant in my blood. This

do, as

often as you drink it is in remembrance of me."

4. Concerning marriage & man-woman relations, he stated

a lot ofrules that were never revealed by Jesus [1Corinthians 7].

Marriage,

as a whole, is not encouraged. Even if one is married, he is

not

encouraged to seek such lawful carnal knowledge! "I wish

that all

men were even as myself (unmarried)" Co 7: 7. "I say tothe

unmarried & the widows: it is good for them to remain

even as I am"

Co 7: 8. "But this I say brethren, the time is short so that

from

now on even those who have wives should be as though

they had none"

Co 7: 29. He invented monogamy & prohibited divorce. In

Co 7:

2 "Nevertheless & just for the cause of sexual morality, let

each

man have his own wife & let each woman have her own


27/30

husband." In Co

7:10-11 " A wife is not to depart from her husband. But

even if she

does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled toher

husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife."

According to

Paul, Christians are allowed to stay married to non-

believers (non-

Christians), but such a marriage is not bonding! "If any

brother has

a wife who does not believe & she is willing to live withhim, let

him not divorce her. And a woman who has a husband who

does not

believe, if he is willing to live with her let her not divorce

him

But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a

sisteris not under bondage in such cases " Co 7:12-15.

5. Concerning the head covering, again some strange

unfamiliar

habits were introduced by Paul in 1Corinthians 11. He

promotes

uncovering the head of men & covering that of women

during prayers

[Co 11:4-5]. However, when a woman is not praying she

should keep

her hair uncovered! "But if a woman has long hair, it is a

glory to


28/30

her; for her hair is given to her for a covering" Co 11:15.

Very

strange indeed: while praying uncovering the head of a

womandishonors her & the reason given is that "for this reason the

woman

has to have a symbol of authority on her head because of

the angels"

Co 11: 10; yet when she is not praying covering her head

becomes now

dishonoring & it is a "glory" for her to uncover it!!! The

reason:the angels; as if these are not around except when praying

& as if

God is not there at all. Ladies & gentlemen, it is the angels

&

nothing but the angels who only become offended with a

woman's

uncovered head during prayers!

6. It was Paul who introduced crucifix & designated it with

glory &

holiness. In Galatians 3: 1 he says, " O you foolish

Galatians! Who

has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth?

Before your

very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified."

In

Galatians 6:14 "But God forbid that I should boast except

in the

cross of our lord Jesus Christ by whom the world has been


29/30

crucified

to me." In Philippians 4: 18 "For, as I have often told you

before &

now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of thecross of

Christ."

7. Paul has stood against many of the rituals & rules of

Judaism

stated in the Law (Old Testament) including circumcision,

fasting,

prayers & food. In 1Timothy 4:1-7 he says, "The Spiritclearly says

that in later times some will abandon the faith & follow

deceiving

spirits & doctrines taught by demons. Such teachings come

through

hypocritical liars whose consciences have been seared as

with a hotiron. They forbid people to marry & order them to abstain

from

certain foods, which God created to be received with

thanksgiving by

those who believe & know the truth. For everything God

has created

is good & nothing is to be rejected if it is received with

thanksgiving, because it is sanctified by the word of God &

prayer.

Have nothing to do with godless myths & old witches'

fables [Jewish

priests]." In Colossians 3:20 he adds, "Since you have died


30/30

with

Christ to the basic principles [profanes] of this world, why,

as

though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules[the

law]? 'Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch', all

concerning

things that perish with using, because they are based on

commandments & doctrines of men. Such regulations

indeed have an

appearance of wisdom with their self-imposed worship,

their falsehumility & their harsh treatment of the body. But they lack

any

value in restraining indulgences of the flesh."

8. Paul gave the churchmen (especially the seniors) that

followed

his religion powers that are close to those of God. They cangrant

forgiveness & blessings just by laying their hands over

subjects!

1Timothy 4:14.
