Jesus said the following I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. I and the Father are one.” Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?” “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.” Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”? If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came-and Scripture cannot be set aside- what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father. But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.” Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.

I don't remember exactly when it happened, but at some point in my 20s I realized that Paul had completely hijacked the Jesus narrative and twisted it into his own religion. I realized he was an opportunist extraordinaire. What we think of as Christianity today is in reality Paulism. Sad truth.

what does this even mean? Paul taught what Jesus taught, the apostles met paul and luke was travelling with Paul. Paul went to the kuffar and told them to stop sinning, You make it sound like Paul made himself a king, like mohammed. Paul had no wealth, nor had he slaves or a palace, he was travelling between the churches of the menorah, and in the end he wrote he had to go to rome to die there, thats what happened. He went to the cesar of rome and he was killed by them. You guys dont believe what the bible says but pretend the bible is backing u up. Paul became a slave of Jesus.

@@Jesus_was_God This doesn't have anything to do with Islam, let's not compare religions. My problem with many people in the chat is that they believe just because Paul gave the message, the message is his. It is not, many believe The Law and The Prophets are divinely inspired writings. My question is why doesn't this same treatment apply to Paul? We do not say Isaiah and Jeremiah or Ezekiel are writing out of their own thoughts, but The Word of God. Paul's background is rather irrelevant as well. Paul being knowledgeable about Greco-Roman culture and affairs is good and beneficial as it allows him to relate more to Greek and Roman audiences, but they speak as if Paul's adaptive preaching nature is not favorable. I object, Paul only used Greek philosophers' quotes because it is what his audience, often being Greek are familiar with and when he preached to Jews as in Hebrews, he spoke to them about Christ to a Hebrew perspective

Has anyone seen Archangel Gabriel visit the self proclaimed Arab prophet? Has anyone seen the self proclaimed prophet perform miracles? Did the Torah, Psalms or Gospels prophesy such an Arab prophet from Arabia? What was the religion of the self proclaimed prophet religion at the time of his birth? If God wanted to send a prophet, He would have chosen from the People of the Book and not a person born in a family practicing polytheism. Also as per the scripture believed to be recieved by the self proclaimed prophet, God doesn't know that Christians don't worship Mary, Mother of Jesus as God and mistakes Jesus mother as Moses sister. The following verse is from another holy book sent by God to Prophet Musa or Prophet Moses. “Yes, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have. They are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them,’ declares the Lord” (Jeremiah 29:8-9).

Wahb b. Munabbih (d. ~725 CE) is an early authority in ḥadīth who is known for his transmission of Isrā’īlīyāt. In the Tafsīr of al-Baghawī (d. 1122), in the exegesis of Surat Yāsīn, a tradition from Wahb b. Munabbih states that Paul was one of the messengers sent to a community of disbelievers: “’We sent two to them’ (36:14). Wahb said: John and Paul … ‘so We strengthened them with a third’ (36:14) the third messenger was Simon [Peter].” Al-Baghawī identifies these “apostles” as messengers sent by Jesus to the city of Antioch. After the first to were sent, calling the city and its king to abandon their idols, they were imprisoned and flogged. So, Jesus sent Peter to assist them, whereupon he cured a child of his blindness in the company of the king. *No wonder the first Christ-followers were called "People of The Way". Jesus Himself said, "I am The WAY, The Truth and The Life. No one can come to the Father except through Me."*

Here is my view on Paul and indeed the Gospels, I am in my early 70s, London born and bred in a cultural Anglican home. Dad never went to church, and Mum was hostile to it due to her Catholic background of strict nuns with zero compassion who used to like hitting children. I always had an innate sense of the divine and still do. I went to Sunday school, was and spent 10 years in a church school from age 7 to 17. I got involved in evangelical churches believing the church doctrine, including that when you become a Christian, you receive the Holy Spirit.. I always found the teaching of Jesus totally at odds with Paul's, yet I probably thought the ecclesiastical experts had almost 2000 years of tradition and cultural beliefs and therefore must be right. Part of me thought, well we are English, we know the truth, none of these other religions can be true. I don't necessarily agree with Dr Ali Altie that the Gospels are based on Paul's writings as much of what Jesus taught seems opposite to Paul. Paul is incredibly judgemental of people who aren't saved,and considering Paul talks about Grace, that is why I find him judgemental. Jesus, according to Matthew, made it abundantly clear he didn't like the hypocrisy of the Pharisees. He also made it clear in the Sermon on the Mount that it pleases God. He said that God requires mercy and not sacrifice. He spoke of practical issues like being a peacemaker and not judging because those who do will be judged. He also said to be Holy as the father in heaven is Holy. In essence, we should strike toward the goal. In Arabic, the word used is Jihad.. Jesud never said, look, wait until they crucify me, then simply believe that God took it on me and you can forget strving. If you are not prepared to strive, then it's a cop out, and bear in mind Jesus said God doesn't want a sacrifice. In 2013, I decided that I would follow what Jesus said. I will follow the example. This may not sit too well with some people, but this is my journey. I honestly do not know what to make of the biblical Scriptures. Renowned biblical Professor Bart Erhman is an agnostic who entered bible college as a fundamentalist but now isn't. He studies the scriptures out of historical and not faith. He also does believe that Christ was crucified and looks for historical clues. The earliest Christian writings are Paul's, they predate the Gospels, did Paul meet Jesus? Well, just because Paul said so doesn't mean it's true. The Gospels were not written by contemporaries of Christ. They were anonymously written in Greek, whilst Jesus and his mates spoke Aramaic. Much of Matthew is copied from Luke according to Erhman and others, so even quoting Matt 5, I have no idea if it happened or if writers have embellished the truth for their own ends . Interesting a verse in Philippians supposedly pen by Paul is Phillipians 2v12 work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure This is exactly what I believe. It is probably a generic statement beyond a specific faith even to the point of being one of the pillars of faith in Islam about doing good deeds and charity. Say God, who is ONE God the eternal refuge God was neither born nor gives birth God has no equivalent, no superiors.

To summarize the life of Paul the Apostle in a way that acknowledges both his significant contributions to Christianity and the skepticism some hold about his character, it is important to approach his narrative with nuance. Paul, originally known as Saul of Tarsus, was a fervent Jewish Pharisee who initially opposed the early followers of Jesus Christ, participating in the persecution of Christians. His life took a dramatic turn during an event on the road to Damascus, where he claimed to have encountered the resurrected Jesus. This transformative experience led him to convert to Christianity and become one of its most prominent advocates. After his conversion, Paul committed himself to spreading the message of Jesus throughout the Roman Empire. He traveled extensively, establishing various Christian communities and writing epistles addressing church practices, theology, and ethical living. His letters, such as those to the Corinthians, Galatians, and Romans, are integral to the New Testament and have profoundly influenced Christian doctrine and belief. Those who view Paul critically, perhaps labeling him a liar, may argue that his self-appointed apostleship is questionable. Unlike the original twelve apostles, he did not personally accompany Jesus during his earthly ministry, which raises doubts about his authority. Furthermore, some critics contend that Paul may have manipulated his account and the teachings of Jesus to consolidate his own power and influence within the early church. However, understanding Paul within the historical and cultural context of his time is essential. He was navigating a world brimming with diverse religious beliefs and practices. His writings often express a deep conviction about his experiences and the transformative message of Jesus, reflecting the complexities of faith amidst societal challenges. Regardless of differing opinions on his authenticity, Paul’s contributions to Christianity and Western thought remain significant. His life encourages exploration of deep philosophical questions surrounding truth, belief, and the nature of religious experience. Whether seen as a figure of integrity or deceit, Paul represents a profound journey of faith, conversion, and the quest for understanding in a multifaceted world. Engaging with Paul’s legacy allows for critical reflection on truth and belief, prompting a broader dialogue about authenticity in religious experience and the nature of conviction.

So at that point in time what was going on in Egypt and what stories or religion do we have from Egypt??? We get the story of Horus (crucified between two thieves). Paul's letters and influence were before the completion of any "gospels" we have. So it seems obvious he went to Egypt and prob studied Hellenistic derived Kemetic mysticism (remember Alex the Great has already been through here) and basically used this to influence people. Thats why its important as a Muslim to study and study and study. Seek wisdom and knowledge. LailahaillAllah!

Then I realized that the whole NT is Pauline, we have nothing from the disciples of Jesus and Paul admitted to lying so can we trust him when he says he met the apostles? Doubtful because he knows nothing about the life and teachings of Jesus. Odd way to preach about a god-man by not including anything he taught or did. I came to islamic conclusions before I discovered Islam. Weird.

@SocietyofFriendsofEpicurus 2 ай бұрын

The book "St Paul and Epicurus" by Norman DeWitt explains how Paul "borrowed" liberally from the ancient Epicurean communities: the practices of communion and of confession, he got his ethics from the comparative studies of vices versus virtues (about which both Epicurus and Philodemus of Gadara had entire books), the epistolary method of teaching (Epicurus wrote epistles to Menoeceus, Pythocles and Herodotus), and many other examples. He basically argued that Paul must have studied with the Epicureans and later rejected them, but appropriated their communal methods, and that this is what he meant when he said that in younger years he believed in the "elements" (Epicureans were atomists) but as he got old he abandoned physics and adopted supernaturalism.

@hassanmirza2392 4 ай бұрын

Excellent podcast! I think Paul preached whatever he thought to be correct, however what he preached was NOT the correct Israelite monotheism. His thinking was a product of Hellenic Judaism, which was there even before Jesus was born. Philo of Alexandria was also preaching Hellenic Judaism. The 18 Apocrypha books of OT have ample Greek influences, those were written down before Christ. That Greek thought influenced the Gospels and Paul's thinking. He most certainly hated James, and was only interested in preaching his mind, and not the actual teachings of Jesus.

I can't guess how genuine or cynical he was in ambition and intent. I do think he expected that Christianity would die out like so many other startup sects, if it were left up to James. I also think he was an entrepreneur/spin artist who "saved" the sect by turning it into something different.

Quran Chapter 3, Verse 52: "But when Jesus felt [persistence in] disbelief from them, he said, "Who are my supporters for [the cause of] Allah ?" The disciples said," We are supporters for Allah. We have believed in Allah and testify that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]." Sahih International The questions we should ask about Paul, the apostle, are many. For a start, how did he go from being a Muslim to founding Christianity. Was he not amongst the Apostles/Disciples who declared to Jesus(as) that they were Muslims. If so, was he a true believer in Jesus or was he a hypocrite? These are some of the questions anyone who from the perspective of what is narrated in the CRITERION should pose about the founder of the False Faith.

Outstanding!!!! However, may I split hairs? There was no such thing as "Jew" during that period in history. Saul/Paul was an Edomite by birth. Idumea was the stronghold of the Edomites or Dominion of Edom (as well as the dominion of the Pharisees - Pharisaism was the political or religious movement of the Edomites; ultimately Pharisaism became known as Talmudism, then Judaism). The term "Edom" was contracted and almost slang-ized over hundreds of years to Hooeys or Iueys and other variations. By the 21st Century, the word had become "Jew". The word popped up in the Schofield for the 1st time. "Jew" was never a contraction for Judah (a family line) or Judea (a physical place). Jesus was both a Judahite and a Judean, but never a Jew. Jesus was not an Edomite but an Israelite. In a nutshell, Saul/Paul, the Pharisee of the Pharisees, an Edomite, essentially neutralized ALL of God's Laws (remember, Jesus said he did not come to change one whit of His Father's Laws, but to refresh them) and all of Jesus' teachings. Saul/Paul - MOST IMPORTANTLY - refocused Christianity on an unquantifiable "faith" versus the faithfulness that God demanded and Jesus reinforced.
