Paul's limited understanding!

[Righttruth]

Defending St. Paul was HARDLY the author's intent (read the article). I would also think that you would be well advised to consider carefully Whose words you are flippantly calling ignorant and inappropriate!!

Yes, Paul was ignorant that Jesus specifically called twelve as His apostles out of many disciples. He was also ignorant that Jesus told that there can be no other teacher other than Himself and list goes on..... It was inappropriate for Paul to tell that father should make property for children.

As for questioning the beliefs of a Christian who does not accept the virgin birth, I certainly agree with that!

I am glad to know that.

Neither did the vast majority of the OT and NT human authors. So does that mean you'll need to throw the Gospels of Mark and John out with all of Paul's Epistles as a result It's seems there must be other Biblical authors with "limited understanding" as well then (if mentioning the Virgin Birth is a necessary condition for the proving of a true and complete understanding of all things Christian)!*

No other author has written thirteen books specifically meant for Gentiles, so there is nothing amiss if others have not mentioned that point to other audiences. This is an important aspect for Gentiles. One cannot afford to miss that for them.

Did the Lord take time to talk about His miraculous birth while He was here among us?

*(I don't believe I ever replied directly to the OP, so I thought I finally should )

Did He celebrate His birthdays as being done commercially now?

Good point!

Celebration of birthdays and things related oneself (self glorification) is not encouraged in the Bible.

Paul never endorsed nor proclaim the virgin birth of Jesus!

Paul never spoke of many of the events in the early life of Jesus.

So?

14 out of 27. More than half of all NT books. The evidence is that Paul wrote Hebrews.

Paul, with all the revelations during Acts he had that were directly from Christ, knew more about the mystery of Christ, as hidden in the prophets, than anyone else. There's no evidence of the 12 receiving any of these revelations.

Yes, Paul was ignorant that Jesus specifically called twelve as His apostles out of many disciples.

If this is true, why did he know exactly where to go after his conversion? He knew to go to Peter and James...

He was also ignorant that Jesus told that there can be no other teacher other than Himself and list goes on.....

Considering that Paul spent so long in the wilderness conversing with God Himself, I don't think he was ignorant at all. Paul spread what Paul was taught.

It was inappropriate for Paul to tell that father should make property for children.

Glad to know your opinion.

I am glad to know that.

Neither is it discouraged, as long as you know where you come from. A birthday isn't an achievement of yours. God allows you to live.

 

[ac28]

I've never seen anyone found an argument on such absurd premises as RT does.

 

[Righttruth]

Paul never spoke of many of the events in the early life of Jesus.

So?

Because he didn't know, so missed out the important parts of the preaching of Jesus thereby deviating from the way, life and truth.

It was Barnabas who took Paul to the apostles though they were reluctant to associate with him.

Considering that Paul spent so long in the wilderness conversing with God Himself, I don't think he was ignorant at all.

Many people do that. It doesn't mean they can claim to be apostles.

Paul spread what Paul was taught by his own mind.

In tune with the assumptions of Paul.

Bible records celebration of birthdays by ungodly people leading to murders.

Paul didn't deviate from the teachings of Jesus.

Paul didn't deviate from the teachings of Jesus.

That is travesty of truth.

That is travesty of truth.

Please give an example.

RT, did you dream all this up by yourself or did you join a cult that believes this, with 5 or 6 members worldwide? Seriously, though, what you believe about Paul would be 100% wrong according to any Bible believer in the world that has any intelligence.

 

[Righttruth]

Please give an example.

I have listed several examples over and over again in this thread. To reiterate Paul was not called an apostle by Jesus; it was his self-claim like many others.

Truth is not decided by number nor by intelligence.

Truth is not decided by number nor by intelligence.

You are certainly proof of that. There's not one shred of truth in anything you've written about Paul.

True, but The Gospel was something he himself witnessed, and Jesus, via the Holy Spirit, was actively involved in his life. Also, there was an oral tradition during his lifetime that we can't really appreciate as 21st century people.

A lot of us 21st century types have played the game telephone, which points out the problems inherent to oral tradition.
