Ques: What kind of influence did the Roman lifestyle have on Paul?
Ans: Paul grew strong and loyal to the Roman Empire. At the age of twenty years (30 A.D.) he attended the Rabbinical School of the Pharisees (Acts 26:4-5) and was taught by a doctor of the law named Gamaliel (Acts 5:34, 22:3). ...Gamaliel was the grandson of Hillel, a Sanhedrin and teacher of the Messiah Jesus, whose fondness of Jesus made the two inseperable during the time they spent together. Gamaliel had the same liberal feelings as his grandfather concerning the disciples. When the disciples were brought in front of the Council of Sanhedrin, Gamaliel supported them and turned the vote in their favor. So, they were released (Acts 5:38-39)...These men kept a “reformed” form of the Laws Of Moses, as well as working hand in hand with the Roman Empire, keeping the Judahites now referred to as “Jews” from revolting against the Emperor. It was this era of “church and state” environment that Paul was raised.
They’re all wolves in sheep’s clothing (Matthew 7:15). The government of “Rome” rules them. Rome restricts your laws socially, religiously, educationally, etc. They only seek their own gain or think that they will. This is why they always fail, the truth will not let them prevail (John 8:32, Revelation 19:19).
Ques: So what made Paul such a fierce persecutor if his teacher was a supporter of the disciples of the Messiah Jesus?
Ans: Paul became a fanatic. Remember Paul grew up to be very loyal to the State Of Rome. You know how you felt about America, land of opportunity, before you found out the truth. Some of you ran to the recruiting office to sign up in order to fight for your country. So, you know how Paul felt about his country. All he thought about was the Roman Empire. He was very educated in Roman and Judaic law (Acts 22:2-5). ...Paul being very firm in his beliefs was always ready to defend his country whether it was wrong or right. Despite the liberal influences of Gamaliel, Paul’s fanatical attitude gained him leadership of all those who sought to persecute the disciples of Jesus Christ. He gained increased popularity with the Pharisees and Sadducees. In the year 34 A.D. Paul was given authorization from the Council of Sanhedrin to go from Jerusalem, to Judea as far north as Damascus, Syria on a hunt to bring disciples of the Messiah Jesus back to Jerusalem (Acts 8:1-3, 9:1-2, 26:10-11)...Galatians 1:13-14: “For you have heard of my conversation in time past in the Judahites religion how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of the Thehos (Elohim) and destroyed it and I profit in the Judahite religion above many of my equals in my own nation of Gentiles being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.''..“For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.''...Ques: Why were the Disciples of the Messiah Jesus so fiercely hated by Paul and the Council of the Sanhedrin?
Ans: They hated them because Jesus constantly told the Pharisees and the Sadducees that they were “concealors of what they know to be true” (Matthew 23:25, 27-28).
They have fabricated their own versions to the point where the laws and customs are no longer followed in the same manner as Jesus Christ taught (Matthew 23:5).
Ques: Is that sect of the Judahite persecuted?
Ans: They are not the persecuted. They are the persecutors! What fools these mortals are. Because they think they are right, they will kill you! This is the part that Paul and all of you Pauls of today play. The devil, got ino Paul’s chest through telepathic methods and whispered suggestions and possessed him! He controlled Paul in so much as that he thought he was defending his beliefs for a good cause. So Paul became the leader of the persecutors of the Disciples. ...You can find this happening with the followers of the Koran. They are so busy trying to protect the Koran, Muhammad son of Abdullat and Amina, and their God called Allah. If the authenticity, validity of any of these three are questioned, or have your own opinion or feel you don’t accept every word of their self-styled leadership, you will immediately be threatened with murder and violence without a chance for explanation.
Paul’s mission in Damascus, Syria . (http://factology.com/paul/damascus.jpg) was in pursuit of the Disciples of Jesus Christ. This would be the beginning of his so-called discipleship.
Ques: How could Paul turn from a strong opposer of Jesus to one of his disciples?
Ans: That’s a good question and the answer is simple. Paul never was a disciple of Jesus! How do I know? According to Paul, Jesus chose him as his instrument for carrying his teachings to the Gentiles who were not of the House of Israel (Acts 9:15-16). Paul’s acclaimed vision is the only evidence Paul could produce for his bid for the leadership of the new church Paul woul raise. No wonder the Jews were highly skeptical about the whole claim and would not listen to him. Let’s take a look in the Bible where Paul contradicts himself three times. This is the behavior of a liar. A liar has to repeat his lie two or more times with each version differing from the next until he ultimately proves himself a liar. He eventually reveals the truth he was trying to hide all along....
Contradiction One:
Acts 9:4-7: “And he fell down on that planet and heard a voice saying to him Saul, Saul why did you persecute me and he said who are you master; and the master said I am Jesus whom you persecuted it is hard for you to kick against the point. And he trembling and astonished said the master what will you have me to do? And the master said to him arise and go into the city and it shall be told to you what you must do. And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless hearing a voice but seen no man.'' ,,,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...In the above quote, Paul first says that he alone fell to the ground (Earth) and then he proceeds to say that the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. ...
Contradiction Two:
Acts 22:7-9: “And I fell onto the ground and heard a voice saying to me Saul, Saul why are you persecuting me? And I answered who are you master and he said to me. I am Jesus of Nazareth whom you persecute. And they that were with me saw surely the force of light,. And were afraid but did not hear the voice of him that spoke to 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.'...Now, in this quote Paul says he alone fell to the ground. He proceeds to say that the men who were with him, saw the light, but heard not the voice of him who spoke. ...But he had just said in Acts 9:4-7, “those who journeyed with him, heard a voice, but saw not a man!”
We now go to Acts 26:13-14 to find the third contradiction. At this point, Paul is defending himself before King Agrippa; ..
Contradiction Three:
Acts 26:13-14: “At midday o ruler I saw in the way a force of light from the sky above the brightness of the halo shining around me and them which were traveling with me. And when we were all fallen down on that part of the planet Earth I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in a Hebrew dialect Saul, Saul, why did you persecute me? It's hard for you to kick against the sticks.' ..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.''..Paul just said in Acts 9:4-7, and 22:7-9 that only he fell to the ground! ..After we listen to Paul’s contradictions, it makes it very difficult to believe that Paul..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 thohad a vision. Paul is a liar and his own words confirm it (Romans 3:7)!
Having the behavior of a liar, as usual, Paul continued to prove himself a liar. In none of the other quotes had he said that Jesus spoke to him in the Hebrew tongue! However, in the following quote, Acts 26:16, Paul says that Jesus appeared to him to make him a minister. Is this why Paul thought he was supposed to be a disciple?
Acts 26:14-16: “And when we were all fallen down on that part of the planet Earth I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in a Hebrew dialect Saul Saul why did you persecute me? It’s hard for you to kick against the sticks. And I said who are you master and he said I am Jesus whom you persecute. ...But rise and stand upon your feet for I have appeared to you for this purpose to make you a servant and a witness both of these things which you have seen and of those things which I will make appear for you.” .Having the behavior of a liar, as usual, Paul continued to prove himself a liar.
