Paul and Peter both are called, chosen, set apart Apostles of the Gospel of Jesus/ Salvation/
sent messengers of YHWH and faithful testimonies of Jesus and all of His Word and YHWH'S Plan.
Unless and until you can provide the two or three witnesses' testimonies to Shaul's conversion, the case of Shaul's conversion from ravening wolf to docile lamb remains in limbo. At best, all you can prove is that some have indeed been fed by Shaul. The quality of that feeding leaves much to be desired. The very same "set-apart" man claims that circumcision is mutilation... and then he circumcises poor Timothy... after which act, Shaul says, Jesus would profit Timothy not at all.
But no one is questioning the fact that Peter was chosen by Jesus. And Jesus tells us three times that Peter is chosen to feed His sheep.
Which makes this next quote almost hysterically funny:
robbing-paul-pay-peter-james
That post's extracts doesn't apply to me, since I have no reason to sugar-coat it to that degree... or really, at all, having nothing to gain by guile.
I believe that all Pharisees are nothing less than the Talmudists who say the most repulsive things about my Lord. Jesus called the Pharisees whited sepulchers filled with dead man's bones, and says that they make their converts twice the children of hell than they are themselves.
Jesus tells us very plainly to beware of the leavening of the Pharisees. Since truly I believe the words that Jesus said, I am determined to take His word for it, and do just that.
Therefore, what I DON'T do is rob Jesus to pay Shaul.
