Did Apostle Paul ever meet Jesus
According to the New Testament, Paul (also known as Saul) did not meet Jesus during Jesus’ lifetime. Paul was a devout Jew who lived during the first century CE, and he is believed to have been born a few years after Jesus. However, according to the Bible, Paul had a dramatic conversion experience on the road to Damascus, during which he encountered the resurrected Jesus and was transformed from a persecutor of Christians into one of the most important figures in the early Christian movement. After this experience, Paul traveled throughout the Mediterranean region, spreading his message as a Apostle of Jesus and establishing Christian communities. He is considered one of the most important apostles of Jesus, despite the fact that he never met Jesus.
The Apostle Paul was the anti-christ according to the Bible
There are many contradictions in the letters of the Apostle Paul that are found in the New Testament of the Bible. For example:
?Matthew 5:28 Jesus
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
- This verse is part of the Sermon on the Mount, in which Jesus is teaching his followers about the importance of inner righteousness and the dangers of allowing sinful thoughts to take root in one’s heart. The verse is often interpreted as a warning against allowing one’s thoughts and desires to lead to sinful behavior.
1 Corinthians 16:20-22 Paul
All the brothers and sisters here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss. The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand. If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a curse. Come, O Lord.
- This is a part of a letter from the Apostle Paul to the Christian community in Corinth. He extends greetings and urges them to greet one another with a “holy kiss.” This was a common practice in the early Christian church. The context of these verses is that of a communal setting, and they provide specific guidance on kissing within the church. This verse contradicts Matthew 5:28
Matthew 23:15 Jesus
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.
- Matthew 23:15 is a verse in the Bible that is part of Jesus’ criticism of the religious leaders of his time, known as the Pharisees such as false Apostle Paul, for their hypocrisy and legalism. The verse is saying that they are more concerned with gaining converts and enforcing their own laws than with truly helping and guiding people to righteousness. Jesus is saying that they are hypocritical in that they travel far and wide to gain converts but when they are successful, they make them twice as much a child of hell as they themselves are. Essentially, Jesus is accusing them of not truly leading people to righteousness, but rather to a form of religion that is oppressive and leads to spiritual harm.
1 Corinthians 9:19-23 PAUL
Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.
So notice Paul clearly says to a Jew he acted like a Jew toh lure them, and to the pagans he acted like one of them to simply lure them in! It is precisely from this teaching that missionaries get their deceitful tactics from, going into Africa as humanitarian workers when their only goal is to lure people into the false faith of Christianity. They also do this in Iraq, they act as friends with the Muslims then being the deceivers they are they try to lure the Muslims into the false faith. This is why you can NEVER trust a single missionary because each missionary has one goal, to convert you to the false faith of Christianity, and they will do whatever they can, they will even act as Muslim, Jew, or even an atheist! As Paul said, he acted like a Jew, and a pagan to gain people. Now you can read Matthew 23:15 and you can see there is a clear prophecy about false apostle Paul.
Acts 23:6 Paul
Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “My brothers, I am a Pharisee, descended from Pharisees. I stand on trial because of the hope of the resurrection of the dead.
- Paul is addressing the members of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish high court, and declaring that he is a Pharisee.
Acts 21:27 Paul
When the seven days were nearly over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him, shouting, “Fellow Israelites, help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people and our law and this place. And besides, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.
- In this passage, the crowd in Jerusalem accuses Paul of teaching against their people, their law, and their holy place, the temple because they already knew paul is a false apostle. they also accuse him of bringing Gentiles (Greeks) into the temple, which they believe defiles the holy place.
Romans 7:25 Paul
Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
- In this passage, Paul describes himself as a slave of God in the name of Jesus, acknowledging his struggle with his own sinful nature. He explains that, despite his desire to do what is right and obey God’s laws, his sinful nature sometimes leads him to act against God’s will, causing him to change God’s commandments.
Luke 10:18 Jesus
JESUS said to them ” I SAW SATAN FALL, LIKE LIGHTNING, FROM HEAVEN.
- In this verse, Jesus informs the disciples that he witnessed Satan falling from heaven, referring to Satan’s rebellion against God as mentioned in the book of Isaiah. This statement can also be seen as a prophecy about Paul, as seen in Romans 7:25 and Acts 9:3-4. ?
Acts 9:3,4 Paul
As SAUL journeyed he came near Damascus and suddenly A LIGHT FROM HEAVEN (LIGHTNING) shone around him and he fell to the ground.
In this verse, Paul acknowledges that he himself is unsure of what exactly occurred during his journey. He states that he saw a bright light surrounding him and fell to the ground, which can be compared to Jesus’ warning in Luke 10:18. However, some scholars and historians believe that Paul never actually met Jesus, but rather encountered Satan, as Jesus warned about such a light in Luke 10:18. There is also speculation that Paul fabricated this story himself, and that this tale was a later addition to the texts by early Christian communities to explain Paul’s conversion and role as an apostle, as there is no historical evidence to support it.
Revelation 12:9. Matthew 13:39 Jesus
The great DRAGON was cast out FROM HEAVEN, that SERPENT of old called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; HE WAS CAST TO THE EARTH AND HIS ANGELS WERE CAST OUT WITH HIM.
- This verse is describing Satan being cast out of heaven and onto the earth. The dragon represents Satan and the serpent represents his deceitful nature. The verse also states that Satan’s angels, or demons, were cast out with him. This verse is often understood as a reference to the fall of Satan and his angels from grace, as described in other parts of the Bible. It is also clear from this passage that Paul never met Jesus rather he met Satan in his journey, the text specifically state that Paul met Satan on his journey the SERPENT who deceives the whole world, it also implies that he was under the influence of Satan, Read Acts 9:18 & 2 Corinthians 12:7 ?
Acts 9:18 Paul
There fell from SAUL’S eyes something like SCALES (of the SERPENT).
?2 Corinthians 12:7
Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
- In these verses, Paul mentions that something like scales fell from his eyes. According to the dictionary, the word “scales” refers to the body of a snake. This has led some to believe that Paul encountered Satan during his journey and was under Satan’s influence.
Revelation 2:2 John
John SAID YOU HAVE TESTED THOSE WHO SAY THEY ARE APOSTLES AND ARE NOT AND HAVE FOUND THEM TO BE LIARS.
- This verse is part of a letter from the apostle John, who is writing to the church in Ephesus. In this letter, John is commending the church for their good works, but also warning them about false apostles who are claiming to be sent by God but are not. The message of this verse is that the church should be diligent in testing those who claim to be apostles and not just blindly accept their teachings, and this was a prophecy concerning false apostle Paul.
Matthew 24:26-29 & Mark 13:22:23 Jesus
So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he 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, there the vultures will gather. Immediately after the distress of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken, So be on your guard, For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. I have told you everything in advance.
- In this passage, Jesus says that if anyone comes to you claiming to have met him after his ascension, do not believe them, as the only way to meet Jesus is through ascension into heaven. Jesus is speaking about the end times and the coming of the Son of Man. He warns that there will be false claimants to be the Messiah who will deceive many, but the true Messiah’s arrival will be like lightning, visible from one end of the sky to the other. At that time, people will be going about their daily lives and will not be expecting the Messiah’s coming. This passage is interpreted as a warning to be cautious and not be misled by false prophets. In Mark 13:22-23, Jesus gives a similar warning to his disciples about false prophets who will come in his name and try to deceive others. Paul, on the other hand, had a transformative experience on the road to Damascus, during which he claimed to have met Jesus.?
Acts 9:1-11 Paul
Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest, and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven, And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do. And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. The Lord told him, “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
- In this passage, it can be inferred that Paul never actually met Jesus, but either encountered Satan or fabricated the story himself. This is because Jesus explicitly stated in Matthew 24:26-29 and Mark 13:22-23 that anyone claiming to have seen Jesus after his ascension should not be believed. The coming of the Son of Man will be like lightning, visible from one end of the sky to the other. Damascus, where Paul was on a journey, is considered a desert according to 1 Kings 19:15, and some interpret this as a sign of Paul encountering Satan, as mentioned in Revelation 12:9.
Acts 19:11-12 Paul
God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out.
- In Mark 13:22-23, Jesus warns his followers about the presence of false messiahs and false prophets who will perform signs and wonders to deceive the elect, if possible. Meanwhile, Saul Paul, also known as Paul, claims that God performed extraordinary miracles through him, such as healing the sick, as stated in Galatians 1. Paul referred to himself as an apostle, which means a messenger or envoy, and his mission was to spread the message of Jesus Christ to non-Jewish communities. However, many Jewish people during Paul’s time opposed his teachings because they viewed it as conflicting with their scripture and presenting a different message.
Acts 9:19 Paul
and after taking some food, he regained his strength. Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.
Acts 11:26 Paul
and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
- This verse is describing an event in the early history of the Christian church. According to the verse, a man named Barnabas brought a Christian teacher named Saul (also known as Paul) to the city of Antioch. Together, they spent a year teaching and preaching to many people, and it was in Antioch were first called “Christians, and it’s also the first time that Antioch is mentioned as a location where Christianity is being practiced, Jesus, who lived in the 1st century AD, is not recorded in the New Testament as having said anything about Christianity. He is primarily portrayed as a Jewish teacher and religious leader who preached about the kingdom of God, Jesus did not establish Christianity as a formal religion during his lifetime, that happened after his ascension.
John 14:15 Jesus
If you love me, keep my commands.
- This verse is spoken by Jesus in the New Testament of the Bible and is part of a longer conversation in which Jesus is preparing his disciples for his departure, he also emphasizing the importance of obedience and the connection between loving him and following his commands.
Romans 3:17-19 Paul
and the way of peace they have not known.” There is no fear of God before their eyes. Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
- In this verse, Paul appears to be saying something contrary to Jesus’ message. Paul states that people should not follow the commandments, and adds that by keeping the commandments, everyone’s mouth can be silenced and the entire world can be held accountable to God.
2 Corinthians 11:8 Paul
I robbed other churches by receiving support from them so as to serve you.
- Paul is defending his authority as an apostle and his ministry to the Corinthian church. He is saying that he steal others, including churches, so that he could serve his Corinthian church without being a financial burden on them, wich means Paul supported his followers by plundering the true follower of Jesus.
Galatians 5:4-8 Paul
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
- Galatians 5:4-8 is a passage in which Paul disagrees with the idea of justification through obedience to the law and instead advocates for justification through faith. However, it is important to note that in John 14:15, Jesus emphasizes the importance of following his commands and the relationship between loving him and obedience.
John 14:12 Jesus Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father ( God ).
- This verse is part of Jesus’ conversation with his disciples before his ascension and it is often considered a promise to believers that they can perform works even greater than what Jesus himself accomplished while on earth, such as demonstrating love and wisdom through obedience to God’s commandments.
Romans 3:28 Paul
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
- The meaning of this verse is that people are justified before God solely through faith, not by their own good deeds or adherence to laws, which contradicts the message of the Old Testament and the teachings of Jesus.
Deuteronomy 28:15 Old Testament
However, if you do not obey the LORD your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you..
- This verse states that if people do not obey God’s commands, they will be cursed by Him. However, Paul said in Romans 3:28 that people are justified before God through faith alone, not by their good deeds or obedience to the law.
Deuteronomy 27:26 Old Testament
Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
- This verse is emphasizing the importance of following and obeying the laws and commands outlined in the book of Deuteronomy, and the consequences of not doing so. The people are also being called to publicly affirm and acknowledge the importance of following these laws.
Romans 4:15 Paul
New Living Translation
For the law always brings punishment on those who try to obey it. (The only way to avoid breaking the law is to have no law to break!)
- In Romans 4:15, Paul stated that when there is no law, there is no transgression. However, when there is a law, breaking it brings punishment. In this verse, Paul also views the commandment as sin. In Romans 3:28, Paul gave the instruction to not follow the law because when there is no law, there will be no punishment either.
Romans 7:18 Paul
For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
- In this verse Paul also explicitly stated that he is a sinner but he is trying to do good but he is not capable for that, and he doesn’t care what he’s doing wrong.
Matthew 5:17-19 Jesus
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
- Matthew 5:17-19 is a verse from the book of Matthew in the Bible, where Jesus is instructing his followers about the significance of abiding by God’s laws. In these verses, Jesus declares that he did not come to abolish the laws of the Old Testament, but rather to fulfill them. He states that anyone who violates one of these laws and teaches others to do the same will be deemed the lowest in the kingdom of heaven, but anyone who follows the laws and teaches others to do the same will be considered great in the kingdom of heaven. The passage emphasizes the importance of following God’s laws and teaching others to do the same. In 1 Corinthians 15:9, Paul refers to himself as the “least of the apostles” in several of his letters in the New Testament ?
1 Corinthians 15:9 Paul
For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
- Paul acknowledged that he was the least among the apostles, and Jesus warned in Matthew 5:17-19 to beware of the “least of the apostles” as they are considered to be “people of hell,” according to Matthew 23:15. This is interpreted as a prophecy regarding Saul, who later became known as Paul.
Matthew 28:20 Jesus
Jesus said his disciples teach the world to obey everything I have commanded.
- In this passage Jesus instructed his disciples to spread his teachings and to teach others to obey everything he had commanded, According to the New Testament, Jesus did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. He is often quoted as saying, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them” (Matthew 5:17). This suggests that Jesus believed that the laws and teachings of the Old Testament were still important and relevant, and that his mission was to bring deeper understanding and fulfillment to them rather than to replace them.
Psalm 19:7 Old Testament
The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
- This verse expresses the belief that the laws and teachings of the Lord are perfect and have the power to revive the soul and make even the simple wise, But in Romans 3:20 passage, Paul says Law is the knowledge of sin ?
Romans 3:20 Paul
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
- In the passage in question, Paul is discussing the role of the law in relation to sin and righteousness. He asserts that the law serves as a means of revealing to people their sin and the fact that they have fallen short of God’s standards. Essentially, the law shows people their need for righteousness and points them to the fact that they are sinners. On the other hand, the verse from Psalm 19:7 states that the law is perfect, implying that it is complete and without defect. This reflects the idea that the law is a holy and righteous standard given by God to guide people in their lives.
Romans 7:9-11
Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death.
- In this passage Paul refutes God’s commandment, he made this statement and referencing the idea that the laws or commandments, despite being created with good intentions, can have negative consequences and bring about death rather than life.
Genesis 17: 9-14 Old Testament
God said to Abraham, “You also must agree to keep the covenant with me, both you and your descendants in “future generations. You and your descendents must all agree to circumcise every male among you. From now on you must circumcise every baby boy when he is eight days old, including slaves born in your homes and slaves bought from foreigners. “This will show that there is a covenant between you and me.” Each one must be circumcised, and “this will be a physical sign to show that my covenant with you is everlasting. Any male who has not been circumcised will no longer be considered one of my people, because he has not kept the covenant with me.
- This passage is describing the covenant that God made with Abraham, and it states that every male child born to Abraham and his descendants must be circumcised as a sign of the covenant. It also states that those who are not circumcised will be “cut off” from their people, meaning they will not be considered part of the covenant.
Genesis 17: 26 Old Testament
On that same day Abraham obeyed God and circumcised his son Ishmael and all the other males in his household, including the slaves born in his home and those he had bought. Abraham was ninety- nine years old when he was circumcised, and his son Ishmael was thirteen. They were both circumcised on the same day, together with all Abraham’s slave.
Luke 2:21
And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
- Jesus was circumcised on the eighth day after his birth, as it is a convent with God and is mentioned in Genesis 17:9-14, after the ascension of Jesus some of his followers, known as the “circumcision party,” believed that Gentile converts to Christian faith should be circumcised as a requirement for salvation.
Galatians 5:2 Paul
Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.
- The Apostle Paul, who was himself Jewish and self claimed Apostle of Jesus argued against this belief and taught that circumcision was not necessary for salvation.
1 John 2:18 John
Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.
- In the book of 1 John, the author, who is traditionally believed to be John the Apostle, warns his readers that the end times are near and that there are many false teachers and false prophets among them. He urges them to remain vigilant and not be misled by these “antichrists.” Later, Antichrist Paul came with his false gospel, which he claimed to have received from Jesus during his journey and claimed to have met Jesus, however this claim goes against the passage in Matthew and it is believed that he never actually met Jesus. He altered the message of Jesus and the teachings of the Old Testament.
Romans 7:14-16 Paul
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin, For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good.
- In this passage, Paul is reflecting his condition and how he struggle with sin and his own desires. He states that the law (referring to the laws of God as outlined in the Old Testament) is spiritual and good, but he was sold into slavery under sin. He also states that he often do things that he don’t want to do and that he hate, which is a result of his sinful nature, wich means he wrote many things against the law of God, because he was under Satan’s influence.
Romans 7:17:20 Paul
Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me, For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not, For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
- This passage reflects the apostle Paul’s struggle with sin and his own fallen nature. He acknowledges that even though he desires to do good, he often finds himself doing the opposite of God. He attributes this conflict to the presence of sin within him, which seems to be in opposition to his good intentions.
Romans 7:21-24 Paul
I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
- Paul is discussing the struggle between his sinful nature and the law of God, Paul is expressing the idea that even though he may desire to do good, but ultimately he was controlled by sinful nature, which leads him to do things against God’s law. He is saying that sin dwells in him and causes him to act in ways that he don’t want to. It means that Paul has changed the message of God because of his sinful nature, and he is a sinner and was inspired by the satan, Even Paul himself stated In Romans 7:25 “in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin”!
Matthew 24:24 Jesus
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.
- This verse is part of Jesus’ prophecy in the Olivet Discourse, where he warns his followers that false prophets and false messiahs will arise and perform miracles in order to deceive people, and that it is important to be vigilant and not be deceived, in Corinthians 12:28 passage apostle paul claimed that he received spiritual gifts from god?
Corinthians 12:28 Paul
And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues.
- This verse is emphasizing that Paul received spiritual gifts from god and that they are important for the functioning of the church, whereas Jesus warned us about this deception in Matthew 24:24 and that this deception will be so powerful that even the elect, or the chosen ones, may be deceived.
Romans 3:7 Paul
For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
- In this particular verse, Paul is questioning why he is still considered a sinner, even though he believes that his lies have served to bring glory to God. Paul admited that he is a liar.
Jeremiah 11:3 Old Testament
Tell them that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Cursed is the one who does not obey the terms of this covenant.
- This verse is reminding that obedience to God and his covenant is required, and that those who do not obey will be cursed.
Matthew 23:9 Jesus
And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.
- Jesus is criticizing the religious leaders of his time for their hypocrisy and their tendency to seek honor and prestige. He is saying that people should have only one father, who is God in heaven, it is actually a concoction, which proves that the Christians who is born after the intercourse of their father and mother, they are not allowed to call their parent as father through whom they come into the world.
1 Corinthians 4:15 Paul
Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
This verse means that the speaker, Paul, considers himself to be a father of Christian, And this verse also contradicting Matthew 23:9, in Christianity Saul Paul played important roles in the early Christian church and in the development of Christian theology, even the name “Christian” was given to followers of Jesus by others and was not used by Jesus himself.
Galatians 2:20-21 Paul
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, Christ died for nothing.
- In several of his letters, which are included in the New Testament, Paul refers to himself as “one who died” or “crucified with Christ.” It means that Paul does not know what is actual Crucifixion, as we know the definition of crucifixion According to Christianity is that Jesus Christ, was crucified by the Roman authorities on a cross as a form of execution for his teachings and claims of being the Messiah. This event is considered to be a central event in Christian theology, as it is believed that through his death and resurrection, Jesus atoned for the sins of humanity and offers salvation to all who believe in him. The belief in the crucifixion is considered to be a fundamental doctrine of Christianity.
- Do Christians concur with the statement made by Paul in this passage?
- Do Christians hold the belief that Paul also underwent crucifixion, followed by resurrection after three days and three nights like Jesus?
Romans 3:7
For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
- The statement “if truth comes through the law then Jesus died in vain” suggests that the idea of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ whether from false motives or true, as opposed to salvation through adherence to the law, Which means that Paul admitted that he was a liar and that he wrote completely false stories, is being questioned. This is a longstanding debate within Christianity and has been a topic of discussion and disagreement among scholars, theologians, and believers throughout history.
2 Timothy 2:8
Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel.
- In this passage, Paul claims to have a distinct gospel and states that Jesus Christ died on the cross and was resurrected. However, in Galatians 2:20-21, Paul acknowledges being crucified with Christ. But he does not describe his own resurrection, and it is unclear what actually happened to him. Paul does not provide any information about his own experience in this regard and admits that he does not have knowledge about what happened to Jesus or a full understanding of what kind of crucifixion it was.?
1 Corinthians 15:13-18
If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our christian preaching is useless and so is your christian faith. In that case, we are christian also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we christian have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the christian dead are not raised, For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised, And if Christ has not been raised, your christian faith is futile; you christian are still in your sins, Then those Christian also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.
- In this passage, the apostle Paul admits that he is uncertain about what happened to Jesus. He also states that if Christ was not resurrected from the dead, then the Christian faith would be worthless and they would still be in their sins.
John 14:28 Jesus

It is a reminder that all will be held accountable for their actions and that God will not tolerate sin.

2 Corinthians 12:160 Paul
Be that as it may, I have not been a burden to you. Yet, crafty fellow that I am, I caught you by trickery!
- The word trickery here, dolos in Greek, is mainly used in a bad sense in the Bible, in the sense that someone is a liar, and Paul here admits through crafty means he managed to trick the people. This is what missionaries do 24-7, such as answering-Islam, they use a lot of crafty techniques to trick the Muslims into their false lies, such as distorting the teachings of Islam, and even the teachings of their own Bible! No human can have any confidence in a SINGLE missionary, even Christians themselves must be weary of missionaries, because missionaries get their teachings from Paul, Paul admits he is a liar and uses deceptive means to gain people, hence missionaries will do the same, so you have no idea as to when their being truthful! So to all Muslims, if you read any missionary website, such as answering-Islam, remember these crucial points. Even if you find some of answering-Islam’s points to be hard to understand, and hard to refute, do not be swayed because even a liar can make a good articulate argument, look how many have been deceived by the liar that is satan! Lest any missionary feels offended then I do NOT apologize as I am simply quoting his own book, his own book from which he derives his example and teachings from. It is the missionaries own book that shows Paul is a liar from the mouth of the liar himself.
