It is critically important that Africans undersatand that Saint Paul is not a prophet. Therefore, it makes absolutely no rational or intelligent sense to insist that we accept his preachings as most American preachers do. I do not know anything about your personal pastor, other than what you have said here in this forum. But, I do know that the evengelical movement is predicated on the a Pauline dominant interpretation of scripture. In other words, Christians are almost always referered to the Pauline Gospels as the their first introduction to Bible reading and study. This is a Satnic like trick to get people confused before they even have a chance to see the True Message of Bible Prophesy.
Because Paul was not a prophet, his preachings cannot be taken as equal to prophesy. To be blunt about it: the Pauline Gospels are inferior to the biblical prophesies. So, those verses where he seems to compromise with slavery are inferior to those verses written by prophets. Keep in mind that a prophet is one who directly cummuned with GOD, Most Merciful, Most Gracious. The last of these was Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him). According to Q ur'an and which I believe to be the Verbatim Word of GOD, Most Merciful, Most Gracious, Muhammad was the Seal of the Prophets. This means that there will never be another prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon all of the prophets).
Prior to the Pauline Gospels, everything in The Bible was compsoed by prophets and prophetesses. The big question is how come non-prophetic writings are in The Bible in the first place? Of course, the only honest answer is that blond-haired, blue-eyed, pale-skinned, half-naked manipulators added the Pauline Gospels to The Bible. Why? A lot of reasons. But mainly, it was politically difficult to convert the pagan Europeans to Christianity without compromsing with slavery. See, the ancient Romans and Greeks, the gentiles, were slavehalders. So, to avoid conflict with those powerful interests the early churches started talking about how slaves must obey their masters, etc. And, they put this into The Bible to confuse everbody. Thus, even today, un-necessary conflict exists between those who have the interests of slaveholders at heart and those who are harmed by slavery. Those who are harmed by slavery are the vast majority of humanity. Thus, America is almost always at war with little poor countries around the world: Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Cuba, Sudan, Irag, Palestine, Afghanistan, so on and so forth.
If you were an intelligent and honest Christians, which I doubt that you are, you would admit that there ias nothing in Bible prophesy to justify the current conflicts that America is engaged in. To the contrary, even Roman Catholic doctrine consider Bush's attack on Irag as unjust war. Yet, the evanglicals are just now starting to see the light: they are just now realizing that maybe this war is not the best solution to America's problems.
If you were an intelligent and honest Christian, you would seek peace with the Muslim Community, not un-necessary war. Islam has always sought peace with both Christians and Jews. Thus, every single time that conflicts erupts between Muslims and Christian and/or Jews, the Christians and/or Jews have always started the fight.

abd:
just like your boy has said that the bible was not written to believers or the jews but to those who were lost, you have no clue to what the bible says.
your first problem is your penchant for blaming constitine for corrupting the bible. he was not smart enough to add anything to the bible that would stand up to the criterior by which the books were choosen. you are giving him much too much credit and God too little.
How could he add to the bible and have his additions blend in with the other books. One of the criteriors abd is that there would not be any book selected where any thing could not be colaboratted by at least two other books of the bible. your suspicion of the bible's authenticity is not valid jsut because you claim that someone changed it.
God is a wise God in how he set up the bible. The criterio for selection negates any kind of weak complaint like the ones you bring to the table abd.
now as for Paul being a prophet. you did not show me where either I or the bible said anything like that. can you do so? i garantee you can not. another wyld accusation that you make without any basis for truth. abd i expected more of you. when you are brought the truth rather than accept it you try and come up with an excuse or another lie to support that one.
WHERE DID I SAY SUCH A THING? WHERE DOES IT SAY IN THE BIBLE THAT PAUL WAS A PROPHET. THIS IS WHAT YOU SAID ABD. CAN YOU SHOW US WHERE I OR THE BIBLE SAID SUCH A THING? THE ANSWER IS NO. YOU LIED.
Everyone who contributed to the books of the Bible were not prophets. Moses was a leader and the lawgiver, but he did utter predictions. yet he did not opperate in the office of a prophet. David did operate in the office of prophet, Solomon did not, and thus after the books of poetry (Job, Pslams, Proverbs, Eccleciastes and Song of Solomon we find the Major prophets; Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Lametations of Jeremiah and Daniel. Then we have the minor prophets, 12 in number from Hosea to Malichi. In the New Testament there is only one book of prophesy, the Revelation of Jesus Christ. John the Baptist was one of the last prophets. Jesus was the Last. Everything has been revealed to man.
Jesus came as a prophet 2000 years ago, he is in the office of Great High Priest today seated at the right hand of God the Father and soon He will return as the Lion of Judah, King of King, Lord of Lords and every knee shall bow, every tongue shall confess Him as Lord.
