The ABCs of Paul's Christianity are Accept, Believe, and Confess. The ABCs of the the faith of Jesus and James are Actions, Behavior, and Conduct.

[@daodejing81]

I see mystical depth with Paul. I see Christian error in his condemnation of the effeminate and homosexuals. I see Christian theology, the Jesus story regarding salvation. Obviously, these components are incompatible with each other. I see him as a mystic. As for the other two components, they are the result of tampering with his writings. Gospel verses that Christianize those writings are the result of tampering, or possibly the result of different writers. There is definitely a lack of continuity paradigmatically.

[@4everseekingwisdom690]

Very well said 🙏

[@nadzach]

Both are true. The word explains that eyes are opened to see a truth. But one rdceives by confession. With the first portion of faith this is a quickenjng of the heart. Righteousness is a quickening of the soul. A confession of righteousness when made in faith will so change (convert) you, your actions will change. Technically, there are 7 steps, but no one would want to reduce fsith to steps. Although David revealed this when telling that Uzza had gone only 6 steps. Uzza needed more before touching the throne.

[@nadzach]

I suppose Paul saw "the day towers fall" and "the day of bricks and mortar." Eighteen is the traditional number of wisemen or cabinet working in the gate tower. The temple was dedicated with no access to the spirits of God. Paul knew what time it was. Israel was about to be destroyed.

Modern day Christianity is very much the product of the Roman. Repackaged and humanised. Even the Gospels are translation from Hebrew to Greeks to Latin and to modern day English in 1600s. Much of the original message is lost in politically divided translation.

I think Paul's claims that people were healed simply by touching his cloak or the ability to supersede John the Baptist symbolic water baptism by his own baptism in the Holy Spirit is clear evidence that Paul was a narcissistic heretic who had his own theology. He based his self conceived religion on the life of Jesus with a great deal of success and I have no doubt that he is still patting himself on the back as the legions of hell are spanking his ass 😂😂😂😂

[@russelltodd2833]

What I wanna know is, if Paul was really being taught by Jesus in these visions, why was he wrong about the transformation of the cosmos happening during his lifetime?

[@youngknowledgeseeker]

It seems they all were wrong. I don't think any New Testament author thought it wouldnt happen in their lifetime or shortly afterwards. I would suggest even Jesus himself speculated it would happen shortly. However am I fair in saying that though they "thought" it would happen in their lifetime, none of them (save for some possibly seeming explicit statement in the gospels by Jesus, but these may have alternate meanings) ever gave outright statements claiming when it would happen. None said it will and must happen in our lifetime or shortly afterwards. It was more their opinion and thought and they were careful not to write a definite time.

[@josephbarnabas1911]

[@nmHispana]

There have been some red flags raised for me regarding this Saul/Paul. 1. In Acts 9:3-5, Saul claims that while on the road to Damascus to persecute Christians, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him, then he falls to the ground and hears a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” and that he then answers, "who are you, Lord?” “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” 2. Later In Acts 9:18, Ananias says to Saul, “Brother 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 and be filled with the Holy Spirit and at that instant something like "scales" fell from Saul’s eyes and his sight was restored, then got up and was baptized. 3. Saul/Paul and Ananias never had proof or witnesses that it was Jesus Who appeared nor that it was Jesus Who spoke to them either, while interesting that the only thing with scales are reptiles (snakes). 4. Jesus said to His apostles in John 14: 19, "Yet a little while, and the world see me no more and in John 16:10, "I go to the Father and you no longer see Me" and finally... 5. in Acts 1:9, after He had said these things and in the presence of only His Apostles, He was lifted up while they were looking on and a cloud received Him out of their sight. So ask yourselves how is it then that eight chapters later this Saul is seeing and hearing from the Lord? 6. In Matthew 24:23-24, Jesus clearly warned, "If anyone says to you, ‘look, here is the Christ’ or ‘there He is’ do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible." Therefore, Jesus isn't going to be appearing to anyone concealed within some flashing light from or claiming to be Him either, while the only return He'll be making will be at the second coming, when He's coming with clouds and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him and all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him.

Have faith, he will come back as promised, but since we are now in the 6th seal period we have rough days ahead...

It is complicated, but what I see quite clearly is that dr. Tabor succeeds in assigning parts of the Bible to specific historical figures, refuting mythicism or any versions of it.

[@ronkebarber6238]

I believe that the story of Saul/Paul started from Luke 18:9-22:30 I believe both Saul, the self righteous pharisee, and Zacchaeus, the tax collector- both sinners in different ways, were there, and due to his short size, Zacchaeus could only listen, but not able to see Jesus, due to the crowd, which got him up the sycamore tree, to get a glimpse of who has been teaching, and he also must have heard the discourse between Jesus and the rich young ruler (Saul/Paul). This prompted him to offer to give half of his goods to the poor, etc. Both of them were touched, but it took Saul longer to humble himself, and Jesus even bided him some time to dispose of his worldly riches and then "follow" Him. Luke 18:22. Jesus then began to talk about His death because He had completed bringing together, His desciples, all His sheep were in the fold at last John 10:16,27,28. (This "eternal life" must have caught his attention). Saul's story actually spanned the 18th and 19th chapters of Luke. He was the self-righteous pharisee, and Zachaeus was the humble guy. That was why their story ran side by side. Jesus Christ really came to seek and to save that which was "lost" indeed 19:10! "Son of sorrow," becoming son of "His right hand" ". Showing the immense grace to be revealed to Jews and the nations through him, a very good epitome of a grace recipient. The more reason he recognized by referring to Jesus Christ as "Lord...", (no longer as just "master") in acts 9, when he was knocked down from his high horse- so to speak, and became a grain of corn that fell to the ground, that would on towards, bring for fruit abundantly.

My biggest problems with Paul are twofold. Firstly, he enshrined many the norms that made it possible for Christians to align themselves with social and political Conservatism. Secondly, he just comes through as a horrible person. Look at Gal 2: "But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him in public, because he was clearly wrong. Before some men who had been sent by James arrived there, Peter had been eating with the Gentile believers. But after these men arrived, he drew back and would not eat with the Gentiles, because he was afraid of those who were in favor of circumcising them. The other Jewish believers also started acting like cowards along with Peter; and even Barnabas was swept along by their cowardly action. When I saw that they were not walking a straight path in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you have been living like a Gentile, not like a Jew. How, then, can you try to force Gentiles to live like Jews?” Just imagine the sort of person who would humiliate and embarrass a leader of a community in such a way - openly and in front of everyone, in front of the very people who follow and respect him, moreover, write all of this down in case someone didn't get it through gossip! I never hated anyone so intensely to even consider doing something this nasty to him!

[@snakejuce]

100% agreed. I also like your latter point about Peter in Gal 2, brilliant point. Paul single-handedly managed to scam billions of mindless-drones... in fact so successfully that people (i.e., Pauline Christians) still fall for the grift. It's befuddling.

[@sherrydubois6164]

paul was a self professed liar and proud of it. he declared himself an apostle even when the requirements for being one (acts) didn't fit him. His claims of seeing, being taught, and appointed by Jesus were verified by no-one. he couldn't even get his own story straight. God is not the author of chaos and paul's 'gospel is nothing but. Jesus said 'I come from my father who sent Me and you do not believe but there is one that will come after me that you will believe.'

[@StructureinSound]

Surely Paul was giving: "The School of Hillel" doctrine, rather than Jesus, (Hillel died around the birth of Jesus). Paul "Studied at the feet of Gamaliel", (the Grandson of Hillel). Opposite The School of Hillel was Shammai. Students of Shammai murdered some of Hillel. Unless you know this, which is VERY well known to current Jews studying The First Century, you have no context. Hillel and Shammai were the last of six pairs called Zugots. I believe Paul pushed his Hillel learning, passing it off as Jesus's teachings.

[@ritawing1064]

That's a very interesting suggestion: any references we could follow through for this?

[@StructureinSound]

@@ritawing1064 To me the period from The Maccabees, to the Talmud, a period of 150 years, was like the decade of the Sixties in London, and America. Jesus was in the middle of this explosion of Jewish thought. No one realises that: "The Mind of God", is fought for in any Judaism Ruling body, such as the Sanhedrin. Arguing in that period was normal, NOT a sign of hate, but debate. The core of the Shammai School, was strict observance to The Laws of Moses: so: "An Eye for an Eye". Jews had other Books of their Law, that Christians have no idea of. Obviously, The Jewish Law, and The Roman Law, came in conflict. The Hillel School was: "Turn the other Cheek", which is said to be The Aural Teachings of Moses, (passed on by word and mouth), the Talmud Encyclopaedias, were finished around AD120. Things are written down, in times of fear of loss. No Student could learn from both, only one of the Zugots (pairs). However, there is The Kabbalah or Qabalah, which contained Out-of-Body Meditations, such as Rabbi Akiba, with three others. "Two Died, one lost his faith, only Akiba returned whole". It was a Meditation to the Feet of God. It is argued Jesus had the power of just such Meditations, which started by his going into the desert, then his Ministry begun. The day before "The Last Supper", Jesus went off into the Countryside to Meditate alone, but John Mark, a teenager asked to carry the food, and stuff. Jesus is said to explain the Secrets of Judaism Meditation, to John and made him promises not to tell. This raises a whole new aspect of John Mark, (whom Jesus Loved), he has his own Gospel. I therefore believe Jesus's Ministry, was built on the Essenes, Druids, India (Buddhist at that time), and the Tibet Monasteries. His Uncle was Joseph of Arimathea, possibly the richest man in the world, trading Tin amongst other goods.

It's just unfortunate how people simply don't get Paul. Paul was a Pharisee, a student of the Law and had more knowledge about the Hebrew scriptures. He interpreted who and what Jesus is from the point of view of Hebrew scriptures. God said the Jews broke his Sinai Covenant and promised a New Covenant in Jeremiah 31:31-32. Jesus is that covenant, as the righteous servant in Isaiah, the righteous branch in Jeremiah, the Lord who's messenger of the Covenant in Malachi. As a covenant, which forms the basis of God's relationship with Men and also a means of bestowing Righteousness, Christ is the only way to God and the only one who justifies you before God. This is what Paul preached.

[@richardmclaughlin8345]

Paul vs James is a false narrative. It assumes, incorrectly, that the Apostle Paul had been redeemed. from the Law when James wrote his epistle. Actually, the Crucifixion that would accomplish that redemption was still in the future. Both James and Paul talk about faith but from two drastically different perspectives. James from his day to day experiences with Jesus before the Crucifixion, and Paul, decades later, from his supernaturally derived lessons from the Ressurected Savior.

Jimmy, you left out "Suffered under Pontius Pilate". I mean, its missing from the book you are reading. Pontius Pilate fucking anchors the Apostle's Creed in history, Speaking as a combat crazed Vietnam vet, The Apostles Creed is the perfect soldier's confession, It is dimple, it is direct, covers all the bases, Is unadorned and without the ruffles and flourishes of the Nicene Prayer, which is the product of a committee ordered to include everyone. Your academics has a deliberate political bias and/or virtually no capacity for literature, The space between Born of the Virgin Mary and Crucified, Dead and Buried, with or without "Suffered Under Pontius Pilate" is filled by Peter's confession of Christian doctrine coming directly out of Penta cot in Acts 10:34 - 43, The mundane numerology is one of my favorite examples of the Acts of the Apostles being the playground of the Holy Spirit, 34 and 43 both reduce to 7 that, in this particular instance, operate like cosmic quotation makes: it's something God really wants you to pay attention to. Shit like this is all through the entire Bible, but especially in the Gospels becaue one of the things Jesus was trying to do was to promote the Holy Spirit as a Supernatural reality available universally, Jesus reduced the entire Jewish theory of sin to one specific error in thinking of the denial of the Holy Spirit, which is a form of suicide by a thousand cuts, self inflicted.

The soldiers in Judea were using the term at least 9 years before it gets to Antioch and 31 years before the Jesus Followers began to adopt the slander "Christian as the Red Badge of Courage and Faith. I've known since at least Misquoting Jesus came out that the Evangelical anti-theist were preaching a phony gospel but your theory that Thessalonians was the first written record of Jesus is an example of the prestidigitation possible with the dialectical Marxism of the Jesus Seminar and Post Modern Historic Deconstruction, generally. I don't want to put you out of business, but follow your intuition to explore the intertwining of the narratives of the Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of John, using the King James translation, The Big Boys Bible in friendly literary circles.

[@ncarmstron]

Goodacre’s argument is very convincing that we don’t need the Q hypothesis. However, as Dr. Tabor states here, there is no doubt that there is a body of Jesus’ sayings that are in Matthew and Luke and not in Mark. I agree with Dr. Tabor that it doesn’t much matter what we call it.

[@notanemoprog]

@@ncarmstron But if Matthew copied Luke or the other way round, the logical basis for thinking that there must have been a written (not oral) sayings source behind their gospels (because of the verbatim agreement) goes away, so no matter what you call it, its existence is not in any way necessitated by the texts as we have them, so it must be an additional presupposition and we should always strive to not add these if not necessary

[@ncarmstron]

@@notanemoprog I don’t disagree. If Matthew used an oral source for the sayings, and Luke copied Matthew, which I think is plausible, then no written source need be posited. No question. However, we still need to call these sayings something, don’t we? “The sayings of Jesus that are common to Matthew and Luke, but not in Mark” is a bit unwieldy.

[@notanemoprog]

@@ncarmstron No way to prove the claim that there actually were any real historical Jesus sayings in either oral or written tradition - that they were not simply invented as literature by Luke or Matthew and then copied by the other. The entire reality of "Q sayings source" is based only on accepting the dubious premise that Luke/Matthew could not have known each other and therefore "Q part" of their gospels must have predated them both. I don't think Tabor has a good response to Goodacre.

I think mark was the 1st gospel written with insight/approval of the original 12 apostles. I think Luke comes later which is Paul/Luke’s expansion of the gospel. Then I think Mathew is written in response telling the same story as Luke but with all the corrections from the actual apostles view point. John is also written in response to Luke telling new stories that Paul/Luke didn’t know and a deeper meaning taught by Jesus. It also seems written directly towards Paul/Luke’s point of view. Acts through hebrews is written from Paul/Luke’s perspective. James through revelations is written from the original apostles point of view rebutting Paul’s ideas and again almost talking about him and his views directly without defaming him, as a good Christian would. 2 Peter is written a lot about Paul’s ideas and directly addresses him. Peter is the head of Jesus’ church. He knows Jesus told them to let the weeds grow up with wheat, that Jesus will sort them out later. Judas was amongst them and Jesus did not stop him. Peter knew to love his enemy. To forgive his enemy not 7 times but 70 times. The epistles of James, Peter, John and Jude are rebutting Paul in the most polite indirect way possible to be as truly Christian as possible the way Jesus himself taught us to be. It’s still an important lesson to have been learn in early Christianity and in all times. John speaks of antichrists, ones that could have full faith, but not true knowledge of Christ. Believing they had a direct line to god like Jesus did and knew his will better than others, even the apostles who walked with him. That being said Paul was the greatest evangelist of the time and brought many to at least believe in one god, Jesus his son and some of his teachings. Without Paul early Christian may not have survived. Now that it has it is time to rediscover the truth hidden in the texts and lost to time that Jesus brought us and started being passed down through the original twelve apostles. While my opinion is that Mathew, mark and john then James through revelations are true accounts passed down through the original 12 apostles and there for Jesus/God. They make more sense when related to Paul/Luke’s “scriptures”. So read the books again with the perspective/key that Paul was the evangelist but he didn’t get to know Jesus well so you can see where his ideas and stories don’t line up with Jesus’. The good thing is there is only one God, he is only good and he is only truth. So as misguided as we may become, we can always know him again it just takes work.

[@youngknowledgeseeker]

I will consider this in re reading. But what scholars or theologians supports this? If this was obvious I think it would have been discovered by now. The letter of John definitely don't seem to he against Paul, or at least what I can remember of them. Paul 100% affirms Jesus has come in flesh, is the Lord, and is the son of God. Good Christians 100% can call people out by name as wrong. Jesus called Judas a devil, he phariseess white washed tombs to their faces, Stephen also critiqued them and called them slow of mind to their faces. What do you mean a good Christian calls someone out covertly only? Please give me, if you are willing, specific parts of Peter-Revelation that are specifically critiquing Paul. The only 2 that I could possibly think of are James and Revelation chapter 2-3 MAYBE. I don't even think James and Paul disagree, they say the same thing in different ways 99%. Paul's "faith" never did not include works and obedience as a result. Usually when we are so against Paul or find him mistaken it's usually because we don't actually have a grasp on his actual theology and ideology.

[@josephposenecker9741]

@@youngknowledgeseeker I guess the scholarship is the growing consensus that Paul/Luke are authors of acts through hebrews. So there’s no other supporting evidence Paul was considered an apostle be the original 12. Then James through revelations are clearly rebutting the ideas that Paul and Luke lay out in acts through Hebrews. It’s essentially telling the story of the Cardinal Sin of human pride when we don’t humble ourselves and learn from the ones that came before us. When we closed our minds off and think we know better than others it limits us from having full faith. But again that wasn’t Paul’s calling. If he would have stayed and learned from the original twelve he probably wouldn’t have been as effective evangelist to the gentiles. His calling wasn’t knowing full faith it was to spread as many mustard seeds as possible. Spread the good news, there is one God, he was born flesh on earth, Jesus, and he brought great spiritual wealth to mankind. If you’ve heard and believe then come learn from the apostles he taught over years and founded his church through.

@@youngknowledgeseeker I’m not going to copy and paste the Bible here. Read it as the complete book. The gospels tell one story, then acts through Hebrews tells a different one. Then James through revelations rebutes their ideas and backs up what the gospels say. Historically Paul’s epistles through hebrews has always been attributed to Paul. Some people now would say not all of Paul’s epistles aren’t written by him. More modern scholarship would say the style of writing in acts is the same as some of Paul’s epistles. Then there’s the whole new revelations from the Dead Sea scrolls where there’s growing evidence since the discovery of Qumran and more and more scrolls that tell of messianic Jews that had been preparing for the coming messiah hundreds of years before Jesus. Teaching healing and giving to the poor, a message of sinless lives devoted to love and community. We can even read their community rules describing many of the same traditions we knew early Christians followed. They even write about 12 members of the community being chosen to leave and spread their teachings around 100 BC. The process of how to choose those 12. There’s just more and more evidence Jesus didn’t just come to Sadducee’s and Pharisees, but there was a thriving group of messianic Jews ready for his arrival. There was already a very established religious group when he arrived. It didn’t just start from scratch when he came.

I asked because having read the New Testament, your interpretation just seems so foreign and speculative, though probably with sincere intention. It's ok to be humble and say things like, "I don't know", or "I could be wrong". I take, what I perceive to be, Paul slander or misinterpretation so very personally.

He was trying to show, in the narrative of Acts, that he doesnt have a problem with Jewish people keeping the law and still has respect. Remember the charge was that he was teaching Jews to stop keeping the law, not Gentile converts, they didn't care about Gentile converts not keeping the law in the narrative. I do find it a little bit odd though that Acts is maybe portraying Paul as someone who himself still keeps the Jewish law, and not just will adhere to it when needing to out of respect. But I think we can see that in his own writings he thanks the law is Holy and good but inefficient to help us fully. I think he thinks that some of his practices are just completely over with and ancient. And I think he himself says that he thinks that he is not under law anymore ( not that his Lawless however as he says he is under God's law but that it's the law of Christ now).

[@innes_82]

Joseph the father of Jesus and Joseph of arimithea are two different people. Jesus was the first born child of Joseph and Mary, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, Mary. Mary was still a virgin because at this point in time they were only engaged to be married, so the marriage had not yet been consummated. It is perfectly reasonable to assume that the brothers of Jesus were conceived as a result of relations between Mary and Joseph after the birth of Jesus and the consummation of their marriage which by this time would have happened.

Jesus, the son of Mary, upon him be peace, used to say, “Do not speak too much without remembering Allah, for it will harden your hearts and a hard heart is the furthest from Allah, if only you knew. Do not look at the sins of people as if you were lords, rather look at your own sins as if you were slaves. Verily, some people are put to trial and others are granted safety, so be merciful to those under trial and praise Allah for your safety.” ( Hadith from Al Muwatta). Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)said. “Jesus, son of Mary, saw a person he thought was stealing. Jesus said to him: Have you committed theft? The man said: No, by Him besides whom there is no God! Jesus said: I believe in Allah and I disbelieve my eyes.” (Hadith from Bukhari and Muslim). Prophet(pbuh) said, ‘The Hour will not be established until the son of Mary [Jesus] descends among you as a just ruler. He will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the jizyah(tax), Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it (as charitable gifts). (Hadith from Al-Bukhari and Muslim). Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said “By Allah, the son of Mary will descend as a just ruler. He will abolish the cross, kill the swine, and annul the tribute, but he will leave the she-camel such that no one collects from it. He will cause rancor, hatred, and envy to disappear, and he will call people to give their wealth in charity but no one will need it.” (Hadith from Muslim)

Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) once said: "There are seven whom Allah(God) will shade on the Day of Judgement…” He went on to mention six of them and finally concluded by saying: “…A man who gives in charity and hides it, such that his left hand does not know what his right hand gives in charity; and a man who remembered Allah(God) in private and so his eyes shed tears.” (Abu Hurairah & collected in Saheeh al-Bukhari (English trans. vol.1, p.356, no.629) Aisha reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Follow the right course, be devoted, and give glad tidings. Verily, none of you will enter Paradise by his deeds alone.” They said, “Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet said, “Not even me, unless Allah grants me His mercy. Know that the most beloved deed to Allah is that which is done regularly, even if it is small.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6467, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2818 Messenger of Allah, (SAWS) said, “Verily, what I fear most for you is the lesser idolatry.” And he elaborated, “It is showing off. Allah the Exalted will say to them (who show off), on the Day of Resurrection when the people are being rewarded for their deeds: Go to those whom you wished to show off in the world and look for your reward with them.” (Musnad Ahmad Hadith 23119) Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah (SAWS), entered upon us while we were discussing the False Messiah. He said, “Shall I not tell you about what I fear for you more than the presence of the False Messiah?” We said, “Of course!” He said, “Hidden idolatry; that a man stands for prayer and beautifies his prayer because he sees another man looking at him.” (Ibn Majah Hadith 4202). The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Pay the worker his wages before his sweat has dried.” (Source: Sunan Ibn Mājah 2443).

Absolutely ! Saul (Paul) received certificates from authorities to capture and kill Christians without trial, even as far away as Damascus thanks to the Roman Empire with laws and rules that allowed Paul to obtain permission from the high priest and then to go capture people in another city. How did Paul obtain this power? The High Priest and the Jewish Sanhedrin of Jerusalem collaborated with the Romans, and one politician of this period had deep ties to the High Priesthood of the Temple of Jerusalem and political influence in Damascus: Herod Antipas the Tetrarch! Saul/Paul was able to fulfill his desire to persecute Christians in the name of the high priest throughout the Roman Empire because his family was close to Herod's family! Saul therefore needed religious authority (Temple) and needed Roman authority in Damascus (King Aretas IV of Damascus) to allow this! King Aretas IV who ruled Damascus, Petra and Arabia during the period of Paul's conversion (Paul preached for 3 years in Arabia, Damascus, Petra (Galatians 1:17), was the father-in-law of Herod Antipas the Tetrarch. John the Baptist preached against Herod Antipas for having divorced his wife in order to marry his half-brother's wife named Herodias, his own niece, daughter of his half-brother Aristobulus IV. John the Baptist defended the honor of Herod Antipas' first wife: Phasaelis, daughter of King Aretas IV Moreover, it was Herod Antipas (Tetrarch of Galilee and Perea) and Herodias who ordered the beheading of John the Baptist (Matthew 14:1-12, Mark 6:16-29), and when Yeshua was arrested in Jerusalem, the procurator of Judea Pontius Pilate sent him to Herod Antipas, who had come to celebrate the Jewish Passover in the capital, but quickly returned him to Pontius Pilate without judging him (Luke 23:1-11), then Pontius Pilate and Herod became friends (Luke 23:12), John the Baptist and Yeshua are of the same family, and this same Herod met John and Yeshua! In the church at Antioch, certain "prophets and teachers" like Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene and Manahen were raised with Herod the tetrarch and Saul (Acts 13:1) When Paul is arrested, the commander assigns 200 soldiers, 70 horsemen, 200 archers to protect Paul (Acts 23:23-24), Paul was a Roman citizen, but Roman citizens did not normally receive 470 bodyguards. Paul was protected because he was related to the family of Herod Agrippa! Flavius Josephus cites Saul and a certain Costobar in his "Judaic Antiquities, Book 20, ch.9, passage 214" as violent evil people who spread evil and robbed the weakest because they were of royal race and very much in favor because of their relationship with Agrippa... a few passages later, Costobar and Saul left Jerusalem! Paul had companions with him when he left Jerusalem to go to Damascus (Acts 9:7, 22:9, 26:13-14), everything fits! Flavius Josephus cites Festus, he who attended the judgment of Paul (Acts 25:1-27), also James, brother of Yeshua where he emphasizes his judgment by the Sanhedrin (Judaic Antiquities Book 20, Ch.9, passage 200 ), this proves that Saul cited by the author is indeed Paul of Tarsus! Costobarus and Saul are the grandsons of Costobarus, since Costobarus married Salome, had a daughter named Berenice who married Aristobulus IV, one of Herod's sons. Both are the parents of the future kings Herod Agrippa I and Herod of Chalcis, as well as that of Herodias. Together, they also have a son called Antipater, who will have two sons: Costobar and Saul who is the apostle Paul of Tarsus! Paul greets those in Aristobulus' house (Romans 16:10), and Aristobulus is a Herodian! so he loved spending time with his family members. Paul is therefore from the royal family of Agrippa (Herod) who took advantage of this status to ravage innocent people and spread evil! Moreover, Herod ravaged the churches, killed James brother of John, and put Peter in prison during Passover (Acts 12:1-5), but the Lord delivered Peter from his prison by his Angel who sent him ( Acts 12:6-11), Paul identifies his Herodian parents since he greets a member of his family named "Herodium" who calls him "my kinsman" (Romans 16:11), Herodion is a Greek name which is a diminutive of 'Herod, which indicates links between his family and the descendants of Herod the Great! Unlike Yeshua who was unjustly condemned and committed no fault, Paul this murderer received the favor of Agrippa who declared that Paul "did nothing to deserve death or prison" (Acts 26: 31), normal, since Paul is from Agrippa's family! Paul was a friend of Caesar, as was Pontius Pilate (John 19:12), Paul invoked Caesar in his judgment (Acts 25:10-12), he also greets those of Caesar's house (Philippians 4:22). Paul was therefore present during the trial and crucifixion of Yeshua! Yeshua said : "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod" (Mark 8:15), since Paul is a Pharisee and a Herodian, Yeshua therefore warned us to beware and flee from hypocrites and murderers like Paul! Paul is undoubtedly the one who helped the Pharisees free Barabbas and crucify Yeshua instead!

[@koreyoneal2623]

My only disagreement with you James is your claim that Yeshua was telling people to be celibate , He was saying the exact opposite , He was saying that IN HEAVEN there is no marriage but on earth marriage is between one man and one woman , together they are one and that He's against divorce

[@nokhchi1079]

Yeshua was not saying there is no marriage in heaven. He was not telling people to be celibate and he was not telling his followers not to eat meat.

[@koreyoneal2623]

@@nokhchi1079 this doesn't say that there's no marriage IN HEAVEN ???

Wow - Tabor is worse than Wilson. Wet mouth noises before almost every darn sentence! I really wish I could watch these talks without the distracting diction tics. They should watch some of your James Valiant interviews to see how it’s done properly. This isn’t meant to be an attack - it’s sincere disappointment. I really want to be able to listen to these talks. Maybe try having a glass or bottle of water handy?

[@michaelfalsia6062]

The mischievious mind of man in his sin and darkness trying to understand what is beyond his natural frame. Janes Tabor is not the only scholar who has something to say about early Christianity which begins on the day of Pentecost and continues until this same Jesus or Yeshua will come in glory on the day of judgment to separate sheep,that is the believing elect both Judean and Greek as Paul says and as Jesus commanded when he commissions his apostles to evangelize the world , from the goats who will be judged and assigned a place in gehenna for all eternity. I will build my Ecclesia and the gates of Hades will not prevail. That ecclesia beginning in Jerusalem and which exists in all generations until all Jesus came to save from their sins come to a saving knowledge of the Son of the Living God through the preached word attended by the Holy Spirit. I wonder why the host in his opening remarks left out the conversion of Paul in the book of Acts? He uses the New Testament to solidify his view very conveniently which sunful men are always apt to do and do it in what seems to be quite plausable to serve their own ends. For these fellas the bible is not theopneustos, god-breathed but a mere production of the natural man. No Spirit only the carnal workings of mind presented here.
