i am rather curious abd as to why none of the other apostles ever disputed Paul's writings. it would seem that their having first hand knowledge it would be a bit more believable than your opinions. which are just that and have no substance to them.

Because without Jesus around they were pretty much useless.

They certainly were for a while peacemaker certainly were. look how they hid out during the trial. and big bad Peter when confronted by the girl in the court yard cussed . Jesus told him as much.

When you read the post resurrection scriptures after pentcost you see many fetes by the Apostles. this is why Jesus told them so many times that He would die and go away. He was preparing them for that eventuality so that they could show the world that he left the believe with power.

Certainly the church as a whole has not walked in His Will and Power consistantly.

Paul's teaching does not disagree with any thing said by John, Mark, Luke, Peter, Jude, the book of Hebrews (which many believe was written by Paul) or James. The once persecutor of the church did great things for the body of Christ.

Have you ever heard of Smith Wigglesworth?

Simple. All of the real prophets, icluding Jesus (Peace and Blessings ber upon all of the prophets) were already dead. Believe it or not, it is kind of hard to "dispute" Saint Paul when you are dead.

But, as for the other writers in what can be called the Pauline Gospels, they were probably just as qustuionable as Saint Paul himself. For a clear understanding of what I am trying to say consider that I think Jesus (Peace and Blessings be upon him) was the Apostle of GOD in the entire Bible. Therefore, the Bible was should have ended with the Gospel of Jesus.

The writers of the Gospels of Jesus were mainly Mathew, Mark and Luke. They were are dead before Saint Paul came along. There are many other writers, most of whom are not included in the Bible. Frankly, I do not even try to account for all of them. But, if you are so interested and not too lazy which I doubt, you can study them here: (The Lost Books of the Bible - The Hidden Truths).

Also, do not confuse the Twelve Deciples with Apostles or Prophets. Deciples can best be understood as students. In other words, they studied directly under Jesus (Peace and Belssings be upon him) But, when we say "apostle" we imply that the person had a direct connot with GOD, Most Merciful, Most Gracious, not Jesus. There is a big difference. It is all about clear thinking. Islam clarifies things, not confuse things.

sorry abd, the bible clearly gives the disicples. Each including Paul were eyewitnesses to Jesus Christ. Paul saw him on the road to Damascus. There are no lost books abd. these books were not made a part of the holy scripture for a reason. they can be a part of your bible, but the 66 are fine the vast majority of Christians who are not confused on the matter.

All the mysteries that God wanted revealed to man on earth have been done so. He has all the knowledge he needs to survive and enter eternal life.

In spirit only, please. Thuis is NOT an ":eyewitness' in any ordinary sense of the word.

African, Jesus (Peace and Blessings be upon him) and ALL of his deciples had been dead for hundreds of years before Saint Paul was even born. So to say that Paul "saw" him is a lie. The correct understanding is that Saint Paul had a spiritual experience in which he had a spiritual vision of Jesus (Peace and Belssings be upon him). But, it is a lie to imply that Saint Paul "saw" Jesus in any ordinary sense of the word "saw". He saw him only with his spiritual eye. Make that clear. This way you will not confuse people.

Confusion is my main issue with Christianity. The Epistles of Paul are very confusing, too confusing. As far as I can tell, the Epitstles of Paul, the Pauline Gospels are the only place where we can find contradidtions in the Holy Scriputures.


Wake up.

How do you know? For all I know he was lying. He sure cannot prove it. And neither can you.
