The Nazoreans claim Paul: "was Greek and the son of a Greek mother and Greek father, but that he had gone up to Jerusalem, stayed there for a while, desired to marry a daughter of the high priest, and had therefore became a proselyte and been circumcised. But since he still could not marry that sort of girl he became angry and wrote against circumcision, and against the Sabbath and the legislation.”-Epiphaneous, ‘Panarion’

The learned Rabbi doesn't believe Paul's road to Damascus ever happened, because the Sanhedrin would not authorize it. And why not? They had already violated Roman law by illegal arrest of Jesus in Garden of Gethsemane by palace guards. Judas did formally make an identification nec for that of a civilian, if by hypocritical kiss. But the Sadducees did not have the authority to make an arrest of a citizen. This could only be carried out by Roman guard on orders, issued by Roman Court. The emergency session at midnight was also in violation of Roman law that did not permit court hearings after sunset. High Priest, Caiaphas, personally conducted a cross--exam, after Jesus had been acquitted in a stormy trial, 40 to 71. Only Proculator Pilate could pronounce death penalty, which the High Priest attempted w false charge of treason of Jesus proclaiming himself, as king, against the authority of Rome. Reportedly, there were some thous day converts, after Day of Pentecost to the exasperation of the Sadducees. Saul is thought to have been the chief temple agent, enthusiastically hunting down new converts, and throwing men and women into prison for execution? Saul had no authority of Romans to proceed outside certain boundries to Damascus. Supposedly, they didnt object, since he was doing them a favor, helping them rid their dissension problem bet the Jews and those of The Way? Why should Sadducees object? Why did Paul have to go into any more descriptive detail? He states, that he went to a Believer in Damascus and had his sight restored. Paul, by his own words, was much more educated than the common disciples; and also a Pharisee. He was able to interject himself w the Word, among the learned and philosophers at Athens. Paul reminded new and sometimes lax converts, that he was superior in knowledge, rough treatment by Jewish authorities, and his many hardships, but he didn't hold himself superior; and always came in the spirit of meakness? Peter, a great missionary, wasnt initially consistent, as one can conclude from his conduct following the arrest of Jesus. Paul's criticism of Peter apparently came about when Peter was eating w the Gentiles, until certain persons came; and Peter w drew, fearing them which were of the old beliefs. Other Jews and Barnabus followed suit. Paul admonished Peter reminding him, if he, Peter., a Jew, now lived after the manner the Gentiles, and not after the manner of the old law of the Jews, why was he compelling the Gentiles, to live as the Jews?

[@nomadicrecovery1586]

My sincere question, why would ANY jew, especially Saul, or Peter, or anyone fabricate a religion that they gained nothing but death from?

[@AbdonPhirathon]

I would assume that by your question, you are most likely a Christian. Otherwise, you would know that there were many other messiah claimants after Jesus that were Jews. And knowing that the word messiah (משיח) means the anointed one should give you enough context to know that they didn’t claim divinity, only a status. That alone would not have warranted a death sentence. The 1st Century CE was nothing but disastrous to the Jewish people, so you better believe that if he truly was the messiah as prophesized in the Tanakh, he would have been accepted as messiah right then and there, no questions asked. You also have to understand that the title of messiah was given to rulers, like King David for instance. What this means is that you are interpreting the meaning of messiah to be greater than what Judaism understands it to be. A Kingly, albeit human figure that would save the Jewish people and usher in a new era. In that sense, Jews would not have been lining up to kill Jesus or any his followers as Christianity would have you believe in the NT. You can go online to find a list of all the Jewish messianic claimants to get a grasp of how common this theme has been throughout the centuries. One notable, as well as infamous messianic claimant was Sabbatai Zevi. He caused a lot of trouble to the Jewish communities at the time, and was never killed for it. Also, keep in mind that the Christianity of the 1st century was much closer to Judaism, as they kept the laws and traditions of the Tanakh. Then came along people like Paul as rejectionists in order to distance themselves further from Judaism. Subsequent centuries further separated Christianity from Judaism as the Church became more centralized. Most Christian beliefs today would seem foreign to them. Now that you have enough context, the answer to your question is quite simple. They would not have gained death over such claims, but on the other hand they would have most certainly gained a following, which would have given them influence and power. So, the real question is, why wouldn’t they?

@@AbdonPhirathon This ridiculous talk of many messiahs in Judaism is part of the fraud sceme fabricated as a means of helping lie your way around the Christological messianic prophecy recorded in Daniel 9:24-27. The fact is Daniel 9:24 is clearly talking about THE MESSIAH as the Most Holy Lord who will be ANOINTED (Mashiach) by the end of the 70 weeks as DETERMINED by God himself. It says the temple will be destroyed after the Most Holy anointed shows up to be killed but not for himself which leaves no room for speculations and points to Jesus as the Most Holy Messiah as he fits the description to a T. It was supposed to be disastrous to the Jewish people who rejected the Messiah. Read Isaiah 8:13-15, Jeremiah 16:17-19, Isaiah 9:14-16, Jeremiah 23:39-40, etc.

Paul himself writes that after his conversion he went to Damascus and stayed there for three years. Around the year 37, Paul went to Arabia but was soon forced to flee back to Damascus from the army of King Aretas and the soldiers besieged the city so Paul escaped the city in a basket. Some have said that when the leader of the Jesus movement in Damascus advised Paul to go to Peter, but Paul didn't understand what he was talking about and went instead to Petra (the capital of the Nabataeans), where he managed to anger Aretas. And the timing couldn't have been any worse, because according to Josephus, Aretas had just started a war with Antipas over the territories ruled by the late Philip because Pontius Pilate had been sent away a year earlier and there was no Roman prefect in Judea. And while the high priest's letter mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles is most likely fiction, Paul's journey to Damascus is not. And what Paul writes about his conversion is that he didn't see Jesus but a "vision of Jesus" that caused him to change his mind and end the persecution of the Jesus movement and this happened, according to Paul, before he went to Damascus. Today, researchers believe that what Paul actually saw was a fireball from space that exploded and Paul, as a religious and superstitious man, interpreted it as a sign or omen sent by God.

Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. -- Some Christians use Pauls writings as a license to sin, as much and as often as they want.....they would say it's not really sin any more, but the fact is, it is still sin.

Question for the Rabbi: We have often heard expressed, by the Rabbi and from other sources, the notion that Paul was a deceiver and was responsible for perpetuating many falsehoods and mistranslations of our the Jewish Scriptures. I have a few questions about Paul's character and intentions: If it is the case that Paul was sincere in believing that Jesus was the chosen messiah, how do we explain that such a devout follower of the messiah knew he was falsifying the scriptures and acting in such a dishonest and vile manner? His actions are more consistent with someone who did not believe either in Jesus or in the Jewish scriptures. More like he was flat-out a religious heretic with respect to both religions. On the other side, if we assume he was a sincere believer in Jesus, it is more plausible that he may just have been swayed by his belief and that, unconsciously, led him to distort the Jewish scriptures. In other words, he must have made some innocent mistakes. What does the Rabbi think is the most plausible case about Paul?

Okay, things we know about Paul (1) He’s from Tarsus, the central city for Mithran worship in all of Central Asia (2) the Roman Patrician family Aemili were awarded with the title of Paulus, exclusively theirs. This is because Skippy (Scipio Africanus) defeated Hannibal and his only heir died, so the title transferred to his wife and her branch of Aemili. The branch died out and all Aemili could use the title. Maybe even Nero whose grandmother was an Aemili. So Paul was very likely Aemilianus Paulus first name unknown So Roman and Mithran on Dad’s side, easy to find Aemili in Cilicia from the time of Pompey and Cilician pirates onward... Now Mom, yep, she’s Jewish... about as Jewish as a Zurvanite... (3) Zurvanites were Persian Jews who were considered practitioners of a heretical form of Zoroastrian faith. They believed Zurvan had two sons engaged in an endless war of good and evil (4) Use of phylacteries is observed in Mithran ceremonies so yes, weird half-Jewish cults were a part of the Mithran faith. One can even see a figure blowing a shofar on one Mithran statue as Mithras kills the Cosmic Cow So mum, who was “Jewish” was also a Mithran Mithrans trying to subvert a new Jewish sect, is it possible? Yeah, I would say so especially since Matthew wrote of Magi (Persian relic collectors), shepherds in a field awaiting the birth of a holy child (wow, it’s Atys - oops, Jesus) Much like Atys proved to be an early incarnation of Dionysius, Jesus became an early incarnation of - well, himself.

He is the false "prophet" Paul was educated as a Pharisee, a protege of Gamaliel, a famous Pharisee who ran an elite school in Jerusalem. “I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the strictness of our fathers’ law, and was zealous toward God as you all are today. (Acts 22:3) Jesus repeatedly warned against trusting the advice of Pharisees. "Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.” (Matthew 16:6) "In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, 'Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy’" (Luke 12:1). "'How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?-but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’ Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees" (Matthew 16:11-12). Paul was not one of Jesus’ chosen Apostles. Paul lived in the same region as Jesus for Jesus’ entire Ministry, but never went to meet Jesus or listen to a word of His Message. The only person in the Bible who names Paul an Apostle is Paul himself, ever desperate to be added to the company of Jesus’ true disciples, but never was. Many of Paul’s teachings conflict with Jesus’ message, which would not be true if Paul had been actually taught by Jesus. Are you really telling me that Jesus went against his own warning and suddenly selected a Pharisee as the one to convey his "new message". Not buying it.

I enjoy these discussions but remain suspicious of anyone who rigorously defends or denies the authenticity and fidelity of scripture. What can we know today, 2000 years later, with absolute certainty? Paul was either an apostle or a madman or both; and Jesus a prohet, teacher, healer, messiah or Lord. Christianity demands that we make a decision, Jesus is God incarnate or He is not. I like this. If scripture were inerrant, harmonious, consistent, then no room for doubt and no need of faith. But scripture is contentious. As in the parables of Christ, one has to be engaged, to reason and react. Leave room for doubt; I think that's best, even necessary. These arguments between faiths are fun and provoking but ultimately pointless. Either the Messiah will come or come again. It matters, it certainly matters what one believes. But when I read scripture its like asking directions from a passerby; I want to know what way I am heading, a bearing is all, thats good enough for me. The rest of my journey is in God's hands.

Paul was a Roman as well as a Mithran on his father’s side. Look up the Aemili also known as the Aemilianus. This patrician family alone was given the title of Aemilianus Paulus because Scipio Africanus defeated the General Hannibal during the Second Punic War. Skippy had a son but his son had no children. So to keep this bloodline, a title went to the Aemili, the title of Paulus. When all of Skippy’s wife’s bloodline were gone, the title of Paulus (Humble) went out into all branches of Aemili to honor Skippy. Aemilianus means Adversary, sometimes used as a name for Satan, Mephistopheles, etc. Aemilianus Paulus is the Humble Adversary. Two things to remember is Paul is a Mithran by faith and a Roman patrician by paternal bloodline. His mother was Jewish, so he is also that but as Jewish as a Zurvanite, not as Jewish as a Judean or Galilean.

[@swissapologetics]

Joseph is a type of Christ. Similarities between Joseph and Jesus: *- Both are first-born.* Gen 30,22-24 (of Rachel) / Mt 1,25 (of Mary) *- Both are shepherds.* Gen 37,2 / Mt 2,26; 26,31; John 10,11 *- Both are the most loved of their fathers.* Gen 37,3 / Mt 3,17; 12,18 *- Both were prophecied to be rulers.* Gen 37,5-11 / Dan 7,13-14; Mic 4,7; 5,2; Ps 2 *- The prophecies that Joseph would rule his brothers (the tribes of Israel), and Jesus would rule the whole world, including Israel.* Gen 37,6-11 / Dan 7,13-14; Ps 2,1-12 *- Both Joseph’s and Jesus’ brothers were jealous of them, and did not believe them.* Gen 37,4-5; 11 / John 7,3-5; 15,18-19 *- Joseph was sent by his father to his brothers. Jesus was sent by His Father to Israel.* Gen 37,13-14; / Mt 21,37-38; Mk 12,6-7; Lk 20,13-15; John 5,23 *- Both were stripped of their coat.* Gen 37,23 / John 19,23 *- The coat was dipped in blood.* Gen 37,31 / Rev 19,13 *- Both were sold by one of the 12 named Judah (Greek ‘Judas’).* Gen 37,26-27 / Mt 26,15; 27,9 *- Joseph was apparently put to death, and Jesus truly, by their own people to get them out of the way.* Gen 37,18-28 / Acts 2,22-23 *- Reuben wanted to rescue Joseph. Pilate wanted to rescue Jesus.* Gen 37,21-22 / Mt 27,24 *- Joseph was sold as a slave to Egypt. Jesus was betrayed for the price of a slave and handed over to the gentiles.* Gen 37,26-28 / Mt 26,15; Ex 21,32, Zec 11,12-13 *- After his apparent death, Joseph was taken with a caravan that carried myrrh. After his true death, Jesus body was wound in linen clothes with myrrh.* Gen 37,25-27 / John 19,39-40 *- An animal was killed instead of Joseph. Jesus, the lamb of God, died in our place.* Gen 37,31 / Jes 53; John 1,29 *- Both went to Egypt.* Gen 37,28 / Mt 2,13-15 *- Both were made slaves.* Gen 39,1 / Phil 2,7 *- Yahweh was with them both.* Gen 39,3; 21,23 / Acts 7,9; Acts 10,38; Lk 2,52; John 1,1-2; 3,2 *- Joseph was tempted day after day and resisted.

The same is true of the evil Jesus’ own people intended to him…* Gen 45,5-8; 50,20 / Acts 3,12-18 *- …therefore they are forgiven.* Gen 45,5;10-15 / Lk 23,34 *- Joseph’s brothers shared Pharaoh’s favor because of Joseph, not themselves.

It’s honestly changed my world. Your knowledge of the Bible surpasses most I believe. I do question something however. Regarding Apostle Paul. The commonly called “love chapter” 1 Corinthians 13. This is a beautiful treatise on the depth of love which comes from Gods heart of love and grace I believe. If these words were penned by the Apostle Paul, then surely at the innermost level Paul could not have been the completely rotten man you suggest. If these words be his, it comes from the depth and heart of God Himself in my humble opinion.

1. Human sacfrices are forbidden and pagan. No one dies for the sins of another person. 2. Isaiah 53 10 : the “offspring” doesn't refer to spiritual descendants, this is based on a distortion and mistranslation. In this verse, the Hebrew word for "offspring" (zera - זֶרַע) always refers to physical descendants (see Genesis 12:7, 15:2-4, 15:13, 46:6; Exodus 28:43). A different word, banim (בנים), generally translated as "sons," is used to refer to spiritual descendants (see Deut. 14:1). Jesus had no children, so it's not about him.

the 20th century Christian New English Bible - Oxford Study Edition (annotation on Isaiah 52:13-53:12) clearly identifies the Suffering Servant as the nation of Israel which “has suffered as a humiliated individual."

Many other pagans had their own pagan trinities. In Greece they were Zeus, Poseidon and Adonis. The Phoenicians worshipped Ulomus, Ulosuros and Eliun. Rome worshipped Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto. In Germanic nations they were called Wodan, Thor and Fricco. Regarding the Celts, one source states, "The ancient heathen deities of the pagan Irish[,] Criosan, Biosena, and Seeva, or Sheeva, are doubtless the Creeshna [Krishna], Veeshnu [Vishnu], [or the all-inclusive] Brahma, and Seeva [Shiva], of the Hindoos" (Thomas Maurice, The History of Hindostan, Vol. 2, 1798, p. 171).

This guy is perpetually lost assuming a historical Saint Paul. Try the Bacchae, Rabbi. "Cadmus" is "Damascus" in that savior tale, which also features the "kicking against the goads" in the New Testament.

Paul whoever he was, is as legitimate as Joe Biden.

Paul might have suffered an epileptic fit on the road to Damascus (Acts 9, 22, 26). Such is an opinion of D. Landsborough, and he should know being a neurologist.
