E: Paul, the greatest apostle!
Paul's view of himself didn't stop at just claiming to be an apostle. He did what he could to communicate to his followers that he was the biggest and the best. He even had the nerve to challenge the very apostles Yahushua had called and trained for over three years! Among the many self-admiring quotes are these.
2 Corinthians 11. 5: ‘For I consider that I am not at all inferior to the most eminent apostles’.
Verse 10: ‘As the truth of Christ is in me, no one shall stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia’. NKJV
My addition: 2 Corinthians 10. 8: ‘For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority….
Yet more self-exaltation.
Sometimes, almost as though he knew he should be ashamed of such claims, he would tie his claim to a statement of unworthiness. Apparently he thought the gullible would embrace him as the greatest of apostles because he was so humble.
1Corinthians 15. 9-10: ‘For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all...’ (NKJV).
To the Galatians, Paul makes no pretence about how he compares himself to Peter, James, and John:
Galatians 2. 6-7 and v9 ‘But from those who seemed to be something - whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows personal favouritism to no man - for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me. But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised had been committed to me, ...and when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship...’ (NKJV)
This is a serious oversight on Christendom’s part because he was only called ‘brother’ due to his Hebrew roots, so it has nothing whatsoever to do with the real apostles thinking him any more than that. He was even ‘excommunicated’ by them at one point! A couple of verses later, Paul takes a cheap shot at Peter. Without Peter around to defend himself, Paul brags to the Galatians how he put Peter in his place before the entire church of Antioch.
Galatians 2. 11-14: ‘But when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed; for before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. And the rest of the Jews played the hypocrite with him so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy. But when I saw that they were not straight forward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, "if you being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews?’ (NKJV)
Once again Saul/Paul uses the ‘leaven of Herod to please the crowd of Jews! Saul goes on to describe how hypocritical Peter was being for living a different gospel from the one that he (Paul) preached. It is interesting to note that earlier in the book
Galatians. 1. 8-9: ‘But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Paul commanded his followers to damn, (curse, or doom to destruction), anyone who preaches a different gospel than that which he had preached. According to him then, that would include damning Peter, if not James and John also! It is obvious to the reader of the first two chapters of Galatians, that Paul is demanding that the Galatian church follow no one but him and not even the original apostles back in Jerusalem! I.e, He curses Yahushua and the twelve apostles for preaching the ‘Gospel of the Kingdom’! Manipulation and control that leads to domination are the sure sign of demonic entities at work.
As a side note it should also be noted that Paul himself was being the real hypocrite when he condemned Peter for accommodating Gentiles when he was around Gentiles and acting like a Jew around Jews because in another place Paul said:
1 Corinthians 9. 19-22: ‘For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without the law as without law... that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men that I might by all means save some’. (NKJV).
A little later in the same letter Paul said:
1Corinthians 10. 31-33: ‘Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give no offence, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ’. (NKJV)
So here we have Paul claiming to be greater than any other apostle. He insulted Peter, James, and John by saying they only "seemed" to be pillars of the church and they were nothing to him. He bragged about how he told off Peter, and he subtly curses the apostles by telling the Galatians to consider accursed anyone who differs with him. All this, while in fact, he was being the greatest hypocrite of all! If anyone else had even begun to do and say the things that Paul did we would have recognized their incredible conceit and rejected them a long time ago. Solomon said it well;
Proverbs 27. 2: ‘Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips’.
F: Role of Women in (Paul's) Church
This was one of Paul's masterpieces, beating women down; contrary to the way Yahushua treated women. He taught his apostles the same as he did and exhorted the women to do the same things as the men. Yahushua practiced equality. I guess Yahushua was mistaken in having FEMALE prophetesses and queens if we believe Saul!
Now look what lie pie the church has bit into.
The Bible speaks of how women are to conduct themselves in worship.
1 Corinthians 14. 34-36: ‘Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church, for Adam was formed first, then Eve’.
This command of God is not hard to understand. But some want to ignore it and do what seems right in their own eyes. (Almost funny, there's no discrimination in Yah's eyes. Eve was Adam's helpmate, not a footstool! In marriage the man rules, but in God's house HE rules and ALL are equal in HIM).
The Bible explains why women are to keep silent and why they are not permitted to speak in church. It was because ‘Adam was formed first, then Eve’. This is the way God has specified that it will be God speaking to Eve in Genesis 3:16 says, ‘Unto the woman He said…your desire shall be to your husband, and he shall rule over you’. The reason women are to be submissive and not speak in the worship of the church is that God has specified that the man is to rule over the woman. Many people do not approve of what God has done, but this is still God’s business. (Because it was turned into a LIE! And God didn't do it! Paul did!) As we read in
Romans 9. 20: ‘But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, why have you made me like this’?
Who are we to question God? (Not questioning God isn’t the issue here; it's exposing Paul's Lies!)
Also in 1 Timothy 2:11-13: ‘Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I (PAUL) do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence, for Adam was first formed, then Eve’. Paul's word is very clear. It says it is not to be permitted. In other words it is forbidden. When we do things that are forbidden by Paul, it is sinning against Paul.
Rebuke Paul and follow YAHUSHUA!
When a woman gets up before the church to teach, preach, lead prayer, or lead singing, she is in violation of what God (PAUL) has commanded. She is perverting the worship of (God) Paul. As a result of this rebellion, God is not worshipped in spirit and in truth. As we have already seen, worship becomes vain or useless when we follow the desires of men instead of what God wants. To ignore what God has said has horrible consequences. Now go back and read this and change the name of God to Paul and you'll see the apostasy! This teaching was never taught by the apostles! Only Saul-Paul-Satan who hates women! Just like his father did and does for the Messiah, Yahushua was born of a woman!
G: The Prophecy concerning Peter (I recommend reading the rest of this work as it puts it into far greater context).
In the last chapter of Johns' gospel, Yahushua made a prophecy concerning Peter, which has a definite connection to the subject at hand. Yeshua said:
John 21. 18: ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you bound yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch forth your hands, and another will bind you and take you where you do not wish’ (NKJV).
Question: If these few words concerning Peter’s future were all we had to go on, what could be determined from them? It could not include more than two things. One, Peter would be taken where he did not want to go. And two, it was not a good sounding prophecy. But wait! The narrative comes to the rescue with the interpretation of this prophecy in the very next sentence.
John 21. 19: ‘This he spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God’.
It first should be noted that these words of interpretation are not the words of Yahushua, but are the commentary of the writer, John. It can be deduced from the remaining context that this interpretation concerning Peter’s martyrdom was generally accepted by all.
Here is the question. How could the disciples possibly get the idea of "death" from Yahushua’s words? It may not have been a good sounding prophecy, but it certainly doesn't give the picture of Peter dying. Tradition tells us that Peter was crucified up side down, but this is only a tradition. Even if this were true, one can find even less of this picture in Yahushua’s words. Many translations read, "...you will stretch out your hands..." This is a classic example of how accepted traditional interpretations can play a very large albeit damaging role in the translating process. The Greek word translated ‘out’ primarily means to stretch out in front toward something. The King James Version translates this most correctly, ‘...thou shalt stretch forth thy hands…’. This is hardly a picture of a crucifixion. Also, the chronological order of the events listed in the prophecy would be backwards if this were a picture of a crucifixion. This is easy to see when one reads one of today's popular paraphrased versions which reads, ‘...when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and take you where you do not want to go’. It is hard to imagine someone dressing Peter while he is on a cross and then taking him some place that he doesn't want to go. I'd figure he was there already! If this were a picture of a crucifixion, Yahushua would have put it in the proper chronological order as he did in the fist part of his statement when he said to Peter, ‘...when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished...’. Notice how strange it would sound if Yahushua had said, ‘when you were younger you walked were you wished (naked), and then dressed yourself’. If this were a picture of a crucifixion, Yahushua would have said to Peter, ‘...when you are old, another will gird you and take you were you do not wish, and you will stretch out your hands.’
My additional just to clarify: Stretching forth ones hands and arms is just what someone does when someone is being dressed. Wherever any crucifixion scenario originates from, is absurd!
Back to Galatians 1. 6-12: This is Saul covering his tracks as the followers of Yahushua have spotted this ‘Other Gospel’. He not only asks us to believe in this ‘new’ gospel but that it is from his ‘Damascus road’ experience of which he gives two vastly differing accounts when he relates it!
First account:
Acts 22. 6-12: ‘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. And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do. And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus. And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there (Im sure he did!).
2nd Account: Before King Agrippa, Caesar of Rome (Saul’s teacher Gamaliel was the religious adviser of Agrippa I and his wife Cypris’. See how it all fits together to help perpetuate the circle of lies? The above version says ‘only Saul fell’.
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 Yahushua 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.
The obvious differences in the re-telling of his Damascus road experience are there for all to see. 1st it was only him that fell and then it is ‘all of them that fell’! The 2nd especially, Saul really goes for it in front of Agrippa (his friend); fully elaborating his own vain imagining’s.
Tarsus was a land dedicated to the Phoenician deities of Baal, Ishtar and Mithra. Saul means Underworld and he was of course a Hebrew free-born into Roman dominion and a Benjamite Pharisee! He simply replaced Yahushua’s Gospel of the Kingdom for Christianities parallel faith of Roman devil worship - Mithraism.
It’s interesting also that the only places in the New Testament where ‘Signs and Wonders’ is mentioned, is A: When Yahushua is warning about them being a false thing not to be relied upon OR in Books accredited to Saul!
Matthew 24. 24: ‘For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect’.
Mark 13. 22: ‘For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
John 4:48: ‘Then said Yahushua unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
Rome and Saul uses the phrase in Acts 2 .19, 22, 43, ch4. 30, ch5. 12, ch7. 36, ch14. 33, Romans 15. 9, 2 Corinthians 12. 2, 2 Thessalonians 2. 9, Hebrews 2. 4. ( ‘11’ places. With the emphasis in the Book of Acts from chapter 2, when the Apostate Church of Rome took over, which is a very clear point in time, for the deceptions usurping the True faith!)
Saul was the number one guy working for his Roman masters regarding the slaughtering of the ‘true believers’. I wonder how many Esene’s Saul murdered. We can all guess the character traits of a man in such a position of authority in the Roman set up. His father was a Master of Mithraism. High Priest’s of evil deities are usually Hybrid blood-liner’s, so they have the psychic ability to commune with their pantheon of deities, really the fallen angels or other masquerading demonic entities. This is why churchianity follows Paul’s Doctrines instead of Yahushua’s doctrine.
Saul was the first false Prophet!
Many were offended, betrayed and hated one-another during the first war on the saints. Many would have been turned over to the authorities by their Orthodox Teachers and families who feared the Romans, Pharasees and Saducees more than God! The same will happen again during the second war on the saints!
‘…and many false prophets shall rise and deceive many’. Means that as soon as the first war on the saints is over, all the teachers that follow the Roman-manufactured New Testament and their pagan festivals; will become the false prophets of Rome and deceive many!
Christendom (In general) today is unknowingly creating the false prophets that deceive everyone they speak to! Now that is a hard cookie to crumble!
Have you thrown the book at a wall yet or punched the Monitor? The Spirit of Jezebel easily triggers rebellion in deceived hearts. I fully expect any Church-going reader (especially leaders) to be literally fuming by now!
The ones that get the angriest will be the same ones that are helping the Spirit of Jezebel the most!
The explanation for the above statement is on its way, when we find out who this Spirit of Jezebel is.
Verse 12: ‘And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
It is only due to the fact that there is so much evil in the world, that the love for the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Holy one of Israel and his commandments, has faded away to eventually become the Apostate Church!
Verse 13: ‘But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
My Interpretation: He that sticks to the Gospel of the Kingdom and ‘endures’ those that ‘love the lie’ of the gospel of grace and lawlessness shall be saved! This then leads to:
Verse 14: ‘And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Yahushua himself is prophesying that it is only that Gospel of the Kingdom and not any other gospel, which will be told to the world. Then Yahushua takes us up to the point when the devil shows himself.
Verse 15: ‘When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever reads this, let him understand)
Just exactly what is the Abomination of Desolation? It is the Devil manifest in the flesh.
Back to verse 11: “And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another”. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many’.
We Christian-minded folk have never really gotten to the bottom of this one as to how this could really happen (Loved ones betraying each-other). I concur here with the Reverend Derrek Younger: Reference his google-video message called, ‘The BEAST’. Only such a thing as this could possibly cause such a division within those ‘Christian-minded’ folk.
The division is between them that are willing to lay down all their preconceptions and beliefs that the entire ‘Holy Bible’ is 100% the ‘Word of God’, asking the Father what is correct and them that refuse to do that and continue to ‘make and love the lie’!
The awakening from the Strong Delusion that is going on right now is the very thing that will bring about the coming division between what were at one time, very like-minded family and loved ones. Already it has begun to divide many people’s understanding and these things always begin in the Heart (Dangerous ground if someone is not ‘right with Yahuah’). From there, they move either into the soul (for those that refuse it) or the spirit (for those that are willing).
Imagine the scenario where a son or daughter takes the route of the Essenes and Yahushua’s Gospel of the Kingdom rather than their parents ‘belief-system’ in the Saul-Gospel of Grace-led Church. The religion of Satanic and Roman manufacture, that was permitted to happen for the Father’s own purposes.
Rome and Saul (Influenced at the very least by Satan) ripped up the Ten Commandments like the Sabbath and loving no other God but Yahuah, along with the festivals and some vital Laws that we are still supposed to be keeping! So once again for the hard of heart…Yahushua taught:
Matthew 5. 17: ‘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’.
So the Ten Commandments are still absolutely vital to a believer! As are the festivals that are to last until the end of ‘TIME’ itself. Then all things will be fulfilled to the end of Revelations.
Revelations 22. 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’.
