In the midst of speaking to the Jews, he was "presumptuous" enough to say he knew the plan for the gentiles.

Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles. Did that stick a burr under your saddle? There were a few Jews saved under his gospel, just as there were some gentiles saved under the Kingdom gospel. This is really very simple. Galatians 2:2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them...

Look at all that and Paul hadn't even written his epistles to the churches yet. It's also interesting because it's all recorded by Luke who was a Kingdom believer. I always marvel at Acts. It's such a period of transition. The church is a "flock" is not really doing Paul justice, since we...

Don't play coy with me. Paul was the apostle to the gentiles. Romans 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

Paul is very clear that certain things are written in scripture, and other things (the mysteries) were never revealed until they were revealed to Paul.

He never says to search the scriptures concerning the mysteries.

Why would I need to know that? I'm not a Jew awaiting the Messiah. I'm a gentile and read what Paul wrote to the gentiles.

And where are the scriptures that talk about the rapture of the church? And where are the scriptures that speak of the body of Christ? And where are the scriptures that speak of the new creature....created IN Christ Jesus? Take away Paul's letters and see what you're left with.

That's a bunch of malarkey. You just can't handle the truth. Heck, you think Paul preached the same gospel as Jesus and the apostles preached when He walked among us. I believe you're in denial of what the RISEN LORD revealed to Paul....which is why you can't claim to understand what Paul...

(y) I don't think that true of the gentiles. The Jews, yes, they were steeped in the law, and it was the Jews who were tempted to fall back into law keeping. Gentiles, on the other hand were prone to falling back into sin and idol worship. Yep, you're sure right about that. It's a sad...

And that's exactly what I was thinking but couldn't seem to articulate.

Yes, well that portion of Acts 22 is referring to what is written in Acts 9. 26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the...

"Evasiveness is tantamount to a denial". I like that, and it's very true. It's the same as giving out wrong answers. A dead giveaway. I'll have to take back what I said earlier about not really knowing if someone is saved or not. Members of the same body certainly can recognize one...

You're wrong. Paul is not talking about the resurrection at all. Paul is speaking of the spiritual wisdom that is given those of us who are saved by his gospel. Had they princes of this world known this hidden wisdom of God that Paul speaks of, they would not have crucified the Lord of...

Put up the scripture and let's see how you've managed to read into this one.

Excellent point, the whole counsel of God. Following the Damascus Road experience, Paul was preaching Christ the Messiah, the Son of God, just like the others. He knew nothing else. Ananias told Paul, "For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard." He had...

Ah ha. I agree, there are lines which no true believer will cross.

You can use the same verse over and over and it will still not say what you claim. Saul was out to destroy all those who preached Christ as the Messiah. Israel's faith was in their Messiah. "They only were hearing it said...." They only knew Paul was preaching faith in that same name, Jesus...

Have you ever thought of the possibility that God is using Putin to bring forth the beginning of tribulation and the revealing of the Antichrist? If He is, you're standing against God.

Ah, well I'm slow to the starting gate as usual. Now you're going to make me concentrate on your list, and that's all well and good. It just doesn't sound "right" to me, but I'll look again. It's down to the matter of whether they were actually begotten of the gospel. Assuming they were...
