See How Jesus Declared Paul As False Apostle! by Abdulgaffar22: 12:33pm On Jan 01, 2017
Several years after Jesus’ departure from the earth, a man known as Paul (also called Saul of Tarsus) who happened to be a great persecutor of Jesus’ disciples was walking with his two companions on a road outside Damascus to carry out more of his evil mission. In this spiritual state, Paul then saw a great light falling from heaven and heard a voice which said to him; ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting”. He believed this great light as true Jesus Christ (Acts 22:6-9). After some days, Paul started to be receiving some kind of special revelation (Galatians 1:12) from this great light that portrayed himself as Jesus Christ. Yet before his departure, Jesus forewarned the apostles as follows: Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying; I am the Christ; and shall deceive many (Matthew 24:4-5)……. “Then if anyone says here is Christ or there, DO NOT BELIEVE IT. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time. So if anyone tells you; Christ is out in the wilderness, do not go out; or Christ is in the inner rooms, DO NOT BELIEVE IT. For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the son of Man. Wherever there is a carcass, then the vultures will gather(Matthew 24:23-28)”. In these verses, we are commanded by Jesus not to believe any account of a person who claims to have seen Jesus in a private manner prior to his universally-visible appearance. Jesus is telling us that his returning to earth again from heaven will be clear and unmistakable to everyone. Every eye from every point “east and west” will see him. The people would gather to see Jesus coming from the heaven just like vultures gather over the carcass. Hence, any private appearances of Jesus before this public appearance should be discarded. Therefore, relying on this fact, if Jesus’ private appearance to Paul in form of “a great light falling from heaven” would be an exception to this great warning of not believing in private appearances of Christ, then Jesus should have foretold this exceptional event to the original apostles before he ascended to heaven. But Jesus did not foretell anything like that. Instead of pre-informing the original apostles that he would privately appear to someone like “LIGHTNING FROM HEAVEN” before his universally-visible appearance to all, Jesus only informed them as follows; “I saw Satan falling like LIGHTNING FROM HEAVEN (Luke10:18)”. See how all evidence is working seriously against Paul! But is it really reasonable to believe that it was Satan, and not Jesus, that revealed himself to Paul in form of lightning from heaven? Yes, it is not only reasonable but also probable because as at that time Paul was yet to repent from all the evil crimes he has committed against the true followers of Christ (Acts 9:1, 26:11). In fact, his spiritual condition was so bad (1st Timothy 1:13) for anyone to be sure that he possessed nothing of divine power and divine wisdom that could have protected him from such satanic delusion. If the great light that appear to Paul was true Jesus Christ, then one would expect Jesus to command him to repent immediately and secretly meet the original apostles of Jesus staying at Jerusalem. On the contrary, Paul even continued to boast and proclaimed that the original apostles of Jesus imparted nothing to him (Galatians 2:6). So Paul relied heavily on the special revelation he received from his personal Jesus (Galatians 1:12). However, the fact that Paul contradicts true Jesus on many important issues is even enough to prove that the revelation he claimed to receive was from fake Jesus Christ. For example, God and Jesus forbid the believers from eating spiritually unclean foods and meat sacrificed to idols (Ezekiel 22:26, Revelation 2:14) but Paul wrote that there is nothing wrong in eating such things as long as you do not eat them in the presence of a weak believer (1st Corinthians 8:8-10, Colossians 2:16). Again, Jesus’ statement in Matthew 24:24 and Matthew 7:21-23 implies that; performing great signs and wonders in Jesus’ name are the things that would accompany the false Christs and the false prophets. Yet Paul declare that performing great signs and wonders in Jesus’ name are the things that even commissioned him as true apostle of Jesus Christ (2nd Corinthians 12:12, Romans 15:19). Furthermore, Jesus said: Do NOT THINK I CAME TO DESTROY THE LAW or the (way of the) PROPHETS. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the LAW till ALL IS FULFILLED (Matthew 5:17-18). Yet Paul declares as follows: “Christ is the end of the Law (Romans 10:4). But BEFORE faith came, we were KEPT UNDER GUARD BY THE LAW, kept for the faith which after-ward would be revealed. Therefore, THE LAW WAS OUR TUTOR to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But AFTER faith has come, WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER A TUTOR (Galatians 3:23-25). Having ABOLISHED in his flesh, the ENMITY, THAT IS, THE LAW OF COMMANDMENTS contained in the ordinances (Ephesians 2:15)”. See how Paul flatly opposed Jesus; Jesus said he came NOT TO DESTROY BUT TO FULFILL the law but Paul insists that Christ is the end of the Law and that the true followers of Christ are no longer under the law because the law of commandments has been ABOLISHED in the flesh of crucified Jesus. However, the Christian Scholars try to resolve this obvious contradiction by saying that Jesus did not destroy the law but fulfilled the law by DYING ON THE CROSS: which implies that the law was NOT just SIMPLY DESTROYED but it was ULTIMATELY DESTROYED (i:e later abolished ) due to its FULFILMENT on the cross. In other word, the Law was not simply abolished by the coming of Christ but it was eventually abolished because of its fulfillment by the crucifixion of Christ. In this way, they thought that there is no contradiction again between the word of Jesus and the word of Paul. But if this scholarly interpretation of fulfilling and then abolishing the law on the cross is true, then Christians do not have to follow any Law again (whether ceremonial law or moral law) since Jesus’ statement in Matthew 5:18 ends with “TILL ALL THE LAW IS FULFILLED". Jesus did NOT say “till ceremonial law is fulfilled”; he said “till all the law is fulfilled”. Therefore, according to this interpretation, various laws like; thou shall not steal; thou shall not commit adultery, thou shall not lie etc have been fulfilled and abolished on the cross. Consequently, if the Christians are free to break various Old Testament laws about crime and punishment, diet, circumcisions, sacrifices, Sabbath observance, ritual cleanliness etc because of their fulfillment on the cross, they should also be free to commit theft, adultery, lying and so on since Jesus did not say; till ceremonial Law is fulfilled. But he said; “till all the law is fulfilled”. Are the Christians going to agree with this interpretation? Certainly not! This proves that contradiction between Paul and Jesus on the issue of keeping the law can never be resolved. Furthermore, if this scholarly interpretation of fulfilling and then abolishing the law on the cross is true, why did Jesus have to say again in the next verse (Matthew 5:19) as follows: WHOEVER THEREFORE BREAKS ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE COMMANDMENTS, AND TEACHES MEN SO, shall be called LEAST in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever DOES AND TEACHES THEM, he shall be called GREAT in the kingdom of heaven”. See how the phrase “WHOEVER THEREFORE" connects this verse to those before it; which implies that the law which Jesus was talking about in Matthew 5:17-18 is still valid and never abolished on the cross. But given that Old Testament Law is never abolished on the cross, is it now compulsory for the gentile Christians to abide by it? Certainly not! This is because Jesus and his Apostles were only sent to the Israelites (Matthew 10:5-6, 15:24, 19:28, Acts 10:28, 11:19, James 1:1, Galatians 2:7-9, 1st Peter 1:1) Again, despite the fact that circumcision is an everlasting covenant of God for the Jews i:e the Israelites (Genesis 17:9-14) and Jesus himself was also circumcised (Luke 2:21); yet Paul went ahead to write as follows: “Indeed, I Paul say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. And I testify again to EVERY MAN who become circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. You have become estranged (i.e. cut off ) from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by the law; you have fallen from grace(Galatians 5:2-4)”. The term “EVERY MAN” used by Paul in the verse quoted above is indisputable evidence that he condemned the act of circumcision for both Jews and Gentiles. If this is not the case, then the Jewish believers in the Jerusalem would not bound themselves with oath that they will never eat nor drink until they kill Paul (Acts 23:12-14). In fact, this single fact alone that Paul condemn the act of circumcision, an EVERLASTING covenant of God, is another prove that “the great light from heaven” that appeared to Paul on his road to Damascus was a false Christ as already foretold by Jesus Christ during his earthly ministry. Furthermore, Bible recorded that the number of Jesus apostles was somehow fixed to be twelve (Matthew 10:2-7, 19:28, Revelation 21:14). Therefore, when Judas Iscariot fell out and there was need for replacement and restoration of original twelve, then one would expect the divine plan to unfold in such a way that original apostles would be pre-informed by Jesus to exercise patience and wait till Paul repents. But instead of waiting for Paul, Matthias was chosen to replace Judas under the guidance of Holy Spirit (Acts 1:20-26). This proves again that apostleship of Paul was not even recognized in heaven. Yet Paul repeatedly called himself an apostle of true Jesus Christ at the beginning of most of his letters. The most astonishing part of Paul and his assertion of being among the apostle of Christ is that, unlike other writers, he almost never quotes Jesus in any of his letters. Yet this is expected from Paul if truly the light he saw falling from heaven was true Jesus Christ.
Paul was also caught lying red handed; he was accused of teaching all the Jews among the Gentiles to forsake circumcision and the Law of Moses (Acts 21:18-31). But instead of proving this accusation to be true or false when the King Agrippa asked him about that accusation, Paul now claimed that he was being accused for the hope of the promise made by God i.e. the resurrection of the dead (Acts 26:1-cool and for the fact that he advised people to repent and turn to God (Acts 26:19-21). There is nothing like “circumcision and the law of Moses” in the answers presented by Paul to the King. In fact, Paul himself admitted to be a liar when he said: “For if the truth of God has increased through MY LIE to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner (Romans 3:7)”. Yet the same Paul wrote almost half of the books found in the New Testament. See the foundation upon which the edifice of Christianity is erected! There is no any essential difference between Paul and Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism. Both claimed to have seen Jesus in a private manner AFTER Jesus'ascension to heaven . However, the two of them should be discarded based on Matthew 24: 23-28, where Jesus warned us that we should not believe in any one that claim to have seen Jesus in a private manner before his universally visible appearance to all. Therefore, the Christians have no any right to accept Paul and reject Joseph Smith of Mormonism. The two of them should be rejected based on Matthew 24:4-5, 23-28.
