Paul confessing that he keeps the Law.

[LittleLambofJesus]

You are late to the discussion which has covered the fact that Paul, with full authority of the Apostles in Jerusalem [Acts 15] said to those called in the circumcision [in Moses, as Jews] were to remain in the circumcision and those called in Christ [as Gentiles] were not to come into the circumcision; and when Paul took the letter to the Gentile Churches from the Apostles in Jerusalem, legally freeing the Gentiles from ever coming into the circumcision [under Moses] that he circumcised Timothy, a half Jew, before taking him with him to deliver that letter to the Gentile Churches.

There just happens to be a thread on that
Btw, how old was Timothy when that happened?

Paul the Circumciser (Acts 16v3)

Galatian 2:8 For the inworking to Peter into Apostleship of the circumcision, inworks also to me into the Nations.

Acts 13:46 Being bold yet Paul and Barnabas said "to ye it was necessary first to be spoken the Word of the God.
Since ye are thrusting away it/him and not worthy judging yeselves of the age-abiding life, behold! we are turning into the Nations".

"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." 1 Cor 9:20

This was part of Pauls skillful means. To a Jew he was like a Jew under the law. All things to all people so as to win some. In reality he was beyond the reach of the law and the one who gave it. But for the sake of his weaker brothers (so as to not give offense) at times he acted as if he were still under it.

To try and respect your reply, it simply cannot be done. You cannot combine the words of G-d and the words of man. Show me these scriptures from G-d and I will be a full follwer of man. However G-d says in

Jeremiah: This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.

Paul has not witness. He is his own witness which goes against G-d and his law of witness. There must be 2 or more to be true. Paul has one. He claims to be Jesus Christ. He claims to have seen Jesus when Jesus states before he ascended, My fathers work is done. If someone claims they have seen my they lie. Need the scripture.

So if his work of the father is done how did Jesus come back and speak to Paul/Saul. Because Paul steals the conversion story straight from the Book of Daniel. Hence the reason he had to change his story 3 times in the book of acts; Chapters 9, 22, 26

Needless to say in Acts 26, no more did Jesus come to Saul, but G-d himself. please explain.

so, it is clear, you can't refute the Abrahamic usage.


lol, you wanna use Acts against Paul?

Luke is one of the best proponents of Paul. There are several events, but here is one for your lunch.

We Got...prophets and the Holy Spirit, in the first person, saying I send Paul.


1Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia and from there they sailed to Cyprus.

I would think Paul ran and won the race w/o horses

2 Timothy 4:6 for I am already being poured out, and the time of my release hath arrived;
7 The ideal contest I have contested, the run/race I have finished, the faith I have kept:

1 Corin 9:23 Now this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with [you.]
24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain [it.]
25 And everyone who competes [for the prize] is temperate in all things. Now they [do it] to obtain a perishable crown, but we [for] an imperishable [crown.]

Hebrews 12:1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares [us,]
and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

Paul fits every meaning of false prophet as Jesus Spoke, If they say he is in the desert go not forth, If they say he is in the upper chamber, believe them not. Funny Saul sees him in the desert.
Jesus says, there are many that shall come in my name.
But only one we know of in the Bible. Paul claims to be Jesus.

Isaiah: Read, here he is not talking about P/Saul
And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth

Acts: But here P/Saul makes his claim:
For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying], I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

Why does Luke record, that the Holy Spirit sent Paul, and the demons of Acts 19, saw the same Holy Spirit in Paul, as they saw in Jesus?


I got more, from luke, just trying to give you lunch bite by bite, even though your rebuttals don't rebutt.

Is this verse translated wrong because it seems to be pretty obvious that he doesn't consider himself bound to the law. I'll post it again because I want to get some input on it from the people who disagree that Paul was merely acting as one under the law to win Jews and instead believe he was actually under the law:

"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." 1 Cor 9:20

 

[Tyndale]

"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." 1 Cor 9:20

I understand it as meaning he comes from a Jewish heritage, but now is a born again Christian and will try to convert other Jews to Christ by participating in their traditions. That's why he told Timothy to hold onto your traditions, because you may put off some Jews to Christ.

Paul was sought out by God to save the souls of the Jews, Peter was sought out by God to save the souls of the Gentiles.

 

[Frogster]

Paul not only in Eph 2, spoke of law abolishment addressing jews and gentiles, but he also said judaism was torn down.


Gal 2;18“For if I rebuild what I have once destroyed, I prove myself to be a transgressor.

And here, speaking to and about jews, as they were in the "we", he said they were ransomed from law.


Gal 4:3So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world. 4But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, 5so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons

Acts 24:14 (Amplified Bible)

14But this I confess to you, however, that in accordance with the Way [of the Lord], which they call a [heretical, division-producing] sect, I worship (serve) the God of our fathers, still persuaded of the truth of and believing in and placing full confidence in everything laid down in the Law [of Moses] or written in the prophets;

Paul's own admission, during his trial at Jerusalem before Felix.

That doesn't say he was following the law.
If anything, he was sharing the revelation of Christ in said law.

Personally I think it should be taken exactly as said. I don't see how one could come to the conclusion Paul is admitting to being under the law, especially considering Romans and Galatians. To believe such would IMHO be double tongued IOW lying. In which case Paul couldn't be legit and the Bible then becomes an unreliable source to base anything on. The same goes for Moses.
