What Was Paul's View of Salvation? It's Not What You Think!

  • In this informal extended interview with host Sam of TH-cam channel ‪@transfigured3673‬ I talk about my 43 year career teaching and studying the apostle Paul since graduate school days. My focus is on Paul's Hellenistic view of "Salvation," and how he combined Hebrew motifs of "resurrection of the dead," and apocalyptic eschatology with a kind of "Dualistic" view of eternal salvation. It was truly a "New Creation." And he even called it that!

    I haven't watched the video but I have a question for Tabor. You mention Hellenistic philosophy plays a large role in the ideas of Paul. However, the first 40 pages of Schweitzer's book on Paul, plays that idea down. Do you have a difference of opinion with Schweitzer's premise regarding this?

    Sorry, I like your work, but soon after the first hour commercials started coming about every four to five minutes. This made it virtually unlistenable/unwatchable. I quit watching after the third time. One thought isn’t even finished before a commercial comes in and breaks the flow. Surely this must be a mistake. How about one commercial every 15 minutes or so?

    Paul's "thorn in the flesh" was the people who followed him around preaching against what he was teaching. 2 Corinthians 12 needs to be read in light of the couple chapters before. These people were casting doubt on Paul's apostleship. This was no small problem.

      Paul was THE LEAST LIKELY Apostle, Buit NO ONE has touched him in influence , and s truly a GOSPEL , worthy of it's meaning- Happy NEWS. God tells us , and has showed us- THAT IN NO WAY can we know His ways.. God is the eternal "contrarion" / How many of us would have "allowed" Jesus to pick a Diablos as one of his 12 Fellows.. I am sooo thankful that he "Bragged on himself" as no one else can come Close to His Power and Suffering- Just as Christ said "LOOK AT MY POWER" so when looking ast Paul's life- God pointing and saying - Look at the Power I have given him/ THERE IS NO WAY PAUL COULD BE ACCUSED OF FAVORITISM, rather hat-ism

      PASSION- How can anyone have passion for something he thinks is a MYTH He just Fibbed sating Paul believed Jesus was justr a man, as he cut off his reading before Paul lays out his HIGH CHRYSTOLOGY. I am finally figuring our=t why Paul is the most hated- Paul has "without question" written those Letters, and PAUL , HOW DARE HE!, speaks of all the resserection witnesses that are "still with us." BECAUSE OF THIS 1) Paul is a Liar, 2) Paul 'made up a new religion- BUT FOR TABOR TO SAY THAT PAUL THOUGHT JESUS was "just a man" is so obscene, honestly he should fired. THAT STATEMENT IS DELUSIOINAL. It is not what YOU Tabor believe, YOU TELL THE AUDIENCE THAT Paul's Jesus, was a "regular guy, in face of ALL: the Passion Paul writes about Jesus Christ? Did the "Christ who came to Paul- THAST WAS A REGULAR GUY SCENE? . THe reason the "academy Types" have to make ridiculous comments is BECAUSE THey are mocked if they displayed faith.

    A lot of what’s talked about early on in the meat of this discussion, reminds me of modern spirituality. There is a belief that the planets are also heavenly bodies with their own energies and purpose; the view goes beyond the idea of the mechanistic universe. Also, Paul’s description of the “heavens” reminds me of the idea of dimensions. The ascent to higher dimensions allows a being to remember/ more intensely experience the connection with god, source, creation, etc. The lower realms are cut off from the divine with the realms beneath us being fully disconnected, while we simply forget that connection to the divine on the earthly realm. There are beings on all of the levels, including angels and other exalted forms.

    • @wildemthefem5773
      @wildemthefem5773 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Side note: Jesus is considered to be an ascended being from the higher realms, who descended into the chaos of the 3rd dimension to help humans wake up to our own divinity. John 14:12 “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am.” That idea is thought to mean that we can all ascend to the higher realms like Christ.

    Old Covenant Baptism vs. New Covenant Baptism (water vs. Spirit)
    Water baptism was a part of the Old Covenant system of ritual washing. The Old Covenant priests had to wash before beginning their service in the temple. (Ex. 30:17-30) When Christ was water baptized by His cousin John in the Jordan River, He was under the Old Covenant system. He also only ate certain foods, and wore certain clothes, as prescribed by the 613 Old Covenant laws. Christ was water baptized by John and then the Holy Spirit came from heaven. The order is reversed in the New Covenant. A person receives the Holy Spirit upon conversion, and then believers often declare their conversion to their friends and family through a water baptism ceremony. Which baptism makes you a member of Christ’s Church?
    The New Covenant conversion process is described below. (Born-again)
    Eph 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
    Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
    (A person must “hear” the Gospel, and “believe” the Gospel, and will then be “sealed” with the Holy Spirit.)
    Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
    (See Jer. 31:34 for the New Covenant promise, and 1 John 2:27 for the fulfillment)
    ============
    Which baptism is a part of the salvation process, based on what the Bible says?
    What did Peter say below?
    Acts 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
    Acts 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
    Based on Luke 3:16, and John 1:33, and Acts 11:15-16, the most important thing about the word "baptize" in the New Testament has nothing to do with water. The Holy Spirit is the master teacher promised to New Covenant believers in Jeremiah 31:34, and John 14:26, and is found fulfilled in Ephesians 1:13, and 1 John 2:27. Unfortunately, many modern Christians see water when they read the word "baptize" in the text.
    Based on the above, what is the one baptism of our faith found in the passage below? How many times is the word "Spirit" found in the passage, and how many times is the word "water" found in the passage?
    Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
    Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
    Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
    Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
    Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, (See 1 Cor. 12:13)
    “baptize” KJV
    Mat_3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
    Mar_1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
    Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (Water or Holy Spirit?, See Eph. 1-13.)
    Luk_3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
    Joh_1:26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
    Joh_1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
    1Co_1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
    1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. (See Eph. 4:1-5)
    Heb 9:10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. (Old Covenant ----> New Covenant)
    How many people have been saved by the Old Covenant water baptism of John the Baptist?
    Who did John the Baptist say is the greatest Baptist that ever lived in Luke 3:16? What kind of New Covenant baptism comes from Christ?
    Hebrews 9:10 Old Covenant vs. New Covenant
    (CSB) They are physical regulations and only deal with food, drink, and various washings imposed until the time of the new order.
    (ESV) but deal only with food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation.
    (ESV+) but deal only with R5food and drink and R6various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation.
    (Geneva) Which only stood in meates and drinkes, and diuers washings, and carnal rites, which were inioyned, vntill the time of reformation.
    (GW) These gifts and sacrifices were meant to be food, drink, and items used in various purification ceremonies. These ceremonies were required for the body until God would establish a new way of doing things.
    (KJV) Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
    (KJV+) Which stood onlyG3440 inG1909 meatsG1033 andG2532 drinks,G4188 andG2532 diversG1313 washings,G909 andG2532 carnalG4561 ordinances,G1345 imposedG1945 on them untilG3360 the timeG2540 of reformation.G1357
    (NKJV) concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.
    (NLT) For that old system deals only with food and drink and various cleansing ceremonies-physical regulations that were in effect only until a better system could be established.
    (YLT) only in victuals, and drinks, and different baptisms, and fleshly ordinances-till the time of reformation imposed upon them .
    ================================================================================
    New Covenant Whole Gospel:
    Let us now share the Old Testament Gospel found below with the whole world. On the road to Emmaus He said the Old Testament is about Him.
    He is the very Word of God in John 1:1, 14. Awaken Church to this truth.
    Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
    Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by
    husband unto them, saith the LORD:
    Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
    Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
    Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1 (Gal. 3:16)? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel (John 1:49)? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis?
    Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart.
    Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (John 1:49, Acts 2:36)
    We are not come to Mount Sinai in Hebrews 12:18. We are come instead to the New Covenant church of Mount Zion and the blood in Hebrews 12:22-24.
    1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
    1Jn 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
    1Jn 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

      "The simplest solution to this problem of violence for early human communities was to polarize blame and hostility onto one member of the group who would be killed and interpreted as the source of conflict and hostility within the group. The transition from the violent conflict of all-against-all would be transformed into the unifying and pacifying violence of all-except-one whose death would reconcile the community together. The victim who was persecuted as the source of disorder would then become venerated as the source of order and meaning for the community and seen as a god. This process of engendering and making possible human community through arbitrary victimization is called, within mimetic theory, the scapegoat mechanism." - Wiki
      Jesus "reveals" the scapegoat mechanism through the Passion, which shows that God is on the side of the victim, thereby disarming the "principalities and powers" of their ability to unify society through violence.

    "God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;"
    Hebrews 1:1‭-‬2
    And lastly this:
    "He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool” ’? If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?” And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore."
    Matthew 22:43‭-‬46
    I appreciate the conversation, but I see some eisegesis.

    31:18 I find it interesting that saul/paul doesn't retain the powers Jesus said His aposltes received in Mark 3 : 14-15 (casting out demons). Maybe saul/paul was called up to heaven in Job chp 1. Most of 1 and 2 Corinthians is saul/paul boasting about winning over souls... does this have anything to do with the Habakkuk chp 2 (edited) verse he misinterpreted in Galatians 3? It further states: Woe to him who increases what is not his, how long?

      Jesus told us to be aware of Leven of the pharisee, Paul was a pharisee... Jesus told us about the raving wolf, Gen 49:27 we are told that this "ravenous wolf is of the Benjamin tribe...Saul was a Benjamin,
      Rev 2:2 we are told the people of Ephesus (Asia) have found "those that called them self apostle" to be false and have rejected them...just like Saul is complaining to Tim: that ALL those in Asia have rejected him, mmmh its very clear Saul is the one Jesus tells us, not to follow 😉...

    It is amazing to me, as a follower of The Way, that brilliant minds and intellects like that of Tabor and Jordan Peterson, who profess they are NOT followers of Jesus Christ, can present a more compelling presentation of the reason TO follow the Christ Jesus than most Western church leaders. May be in part due to the audience each draws, but their is a part of us that is participating in an unseen dimension of this life that most cannot perceive, and that is of the spirit. And we each are developing and contributing to a being that will be revealed at the end of our individual material cycles on earth. Some to higher glory vision, others to lesser, more mundane or laborious conditions.

      I have it- You are a VEGAN, and the Christ could never have stooped too such a disgusting level as eating fish and honeycomb...PATHETIC- you NEED the Messiah to be a VEGAN? sorry- He enjoyed grilled fish AFTER he had risen, no doubt as further evidence that "I AM FLESH AND BLOOD , Now give me a meal" You see, Christ will NOT let himself become a mystical figure to all those that demand that he rise NOT as a flesh and blood man:
      Luke 24:36-43
      Some today claim Jesus did not eat meat, including fish. But notice this account. After Christ's resurrection, He appears in human form to the disciples (Luke 24:36). The disciples and others had gathered in a secure room, and He appears right in their midst, an act that shook them. They believe they are seeing a ghost, a spirit, but He assures them that He is indeed Christ. He lets them examine His hands and feet.
      Still, they do not seem quite convinced, so He asks, “'Have you any food here?' So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb” (verses 41-42). Fish and sweets made from the labor of bees? Oh, the horror of it all!
      Then what happened? “And He took it and ate it in their presence” (verse 43; emphasis added). This concise statement is a tough one to get around. The Greek word translated “broiled” here means simply “cooked.” Most translations use “broiled,” “baked,” or “cooked.” If anything, this verse might be a good argument against sushi! But there is no getting around what verse 43 states: The resurrected Christ ate the fish and the honeycomb right there

    My understanding of Paul is that be believes that we are body, soul, and spirit,
    and when the body dies the spirit returns to God who gave it, and the soul of a
    person who has received salvation through faith in Jesus experiences itself
    in God's presence but not yet having received the glorified resurrected body
    which they will receive during the resurrection Paul speaks about when Christ
    returns and those who died in faith in Christ will receive and be instantly
    "clothed" with their new glorified resurrected bodies, and those who have not
    died will be instantly changed and be with the Lord in their new immortal
    glorified resurrected bodies, and so all who have died IN Christ through
    faith, love, and received salvation in his name, and those who are still alive
    at Jesus return, will go to their heavenly home with the Lord.
    In John 14:1-6 Jesus said to his disciples that he was returning to his
    heavenly Father to prepare a mansion for them, and would return to take
    them there so they would be with him forever. He told them he was the way,
    the truth and the life. He said he was the only way to the Father ( the source
    of eternal life, and of all truth of existence and life fully lived and experienced
    in the eternal presence of the Father and in intimate relationship as sons of
    the Father, born into the fullness of life as sons of God receiving full inheritance
    from the Father of his true nature, into which they are reborn and received
    through faith in Christ).
    God bless you Dr. Tabor,. Thank you for sharing your understanding with us.

    My question about Paul's idea of the resurrection is this. The decomposed body or cremated remains scattered to the ocean or winds are not raised nor turned into an incorruptible body, right? Those who died are remembered by God and "given" "recreated" in a new incorruptible body like the one that Jesus has as the first fruit of all believers. At least that is the way i understand it from Professor Tabor's videos here. If that understanding is correct, then, why would it be any different for Jesus as a first fruit? Apparently, his bones should still be around somewhere, wherever it was that they moved the body for its final rest. Yes?

      For mainstream Christianity, the physical resurrection is important because it's a *sign*, of God's promise of resurrection, even if believer's bodies aren't "gathered back up" and reanimated.
      It's theologically important because it demonstrates that A) the resurrected Jesus is the same guy and B) that it is a *physical* resurrection and not just a spiritual one. That's why the Synoptic gospels include the story of Thomas' doubt, and have Jesus eat with the Disciples.
      Like Dr Tabor said, the largely Jewish influenced Christian communities didn't view the material world as evil, which competing Christian sects (Gnostics) absolutely did. Gnostics would suggest a spiritual rather than physical resurrection, and these are, in part, polemical responses.

But while the jury is out and the court is adjourned, then Faith applies in LIBERTY apart from the Law. You confuse the moral laws with judicial apparatus of the Temple Law. Do you think that people who lived before Israel had no moral sense ? Right and Wrong is defined in Genesis chapter two, THREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL. So you see , no man is excused personally from the moral truth of being human beings, it is predestined to know right and wrong by time and experience, only a child is excused from knowing . So Jesus was Israel and no , I am sorry, but you are not Israel, and the man Jacob is still only a dead MUMMY in a tomb in Israel, he has not risen and so he is yet JACOB, and the promise of God to title Jacob as "ISRAEL" God never yet exercised while Jacob lived, the man was to God 'JACOB JACOB" when God called him, and God had not yet ever called him 'ISRAEL ' officially , so it is a Prophetic Title, but you see, JACOB is yet a dead MUMMY in a tomb, done so by Joseph who then expresses a FAITH about a future Resurrection of Jacob , the MUMMY had to rise up out of the tomb as a SIGN from God that begins a new age. But a Priest YESHUA is a SIGN OF A FUTURE dedicated to a special rank of a Priest who sets an example and rises early.
      I don't have any problem seeing, you are the one who thinks Jacob rose from the dead and is now ISRAEL, but he is just a MUMMY, there is no ISRAEL yet, but Jesus is the MORNING STAR, a SIGN through a Nazirite Priest advertising a future disposition of the Court, as one example to prove God can actually raise the dead. If Jesus is not the Proof of LIFE by being the CRASH TEST DUMMY and showing it is all possible, then you are still dead in your sins and there is no hope for you.

    Who is the Logos of God in Revelation 19?
    Rev. 19:13 - And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
    John is the ONLY New Testament writer who calls Jesus "the Word". Furthermore, John the Baptist sure thought Jesus was the pre-existent One:
    John 1:30 - This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
    John was born before Jesus. How was Jesus "before me"?

    I don't know about you, but I learned from O.T. these three: the mouth of the pit, the sides of the pit and the bottom. There is an antithesis of wisdom; and the floor of her house "inclineth" unto death. Right? The sliding board to Hell. This stands in contrast to the kingdom of God. The heaven, heavens, heaven of heaven and most high heaven are just one analogy of the pattern of all things. The birds, the mountains, the trees, many things align with the pattern of all things. Of course! Because the tabernacle pattern was received from God. Whenever you see references to the pattern, the word cluster appears. If the language breaks away, it probably isn't breathed by God who makes no mistakes. I've no doubt that God revealed himself in earlier times than Abraham. At Babel it would seem that men had determined how to acquire the positions and gifts that bring power. However, the warning of "Beware lest ye fall" is to be understood. And let us not forget what redefining the meaning of words can do. Sometimes Babel gave levels of understanding to a word, but when no means yes, there are problems. I have found everything necessary in the Word. It is imperative to read "as if" you believe. If you do that you are "almost" there. Instead of losing faith the result can be deeper faith. I wish I could learn every day. Call me crazy, but 3 shells with the electon drawn by cords of love to a proton is remarkable in my mind. But the intellectuals immediately want to say that it must be a mistake. Every time a teacher tells you that there must be a mistake, there is something wonderful to learn.
    Job gives us strata of the sky like the pattern of all things. Lightning comes from the snow clouds and this is the language of the most high God. These are word cluster ideas allowing you to understand the person and power of God. Things like Frost, hail, sparks of fire, lightning and, most important, the still small voice. I'm sure you understand the meanings behind clothing--things like that are important. It is all in the word of God. Above all we should seek the face of God.

Day... and now since 'there is no more time', for the rest of (for resurrected/transformed humans - not all who are now present were participants in the 1st Resurrection - I hold that not all who came forth during the 2nd resurrection were cast into the Lake of Fire (lake of/for destruction) - and not all that were born during the 1000 year reign of The Son of David (over the land of Israel) were killed during the final release of Hasatan - at the end of the thousand years... for the final testing of (the un-resurrected) people and the final judgement of YHWH against Hasatan (and his destruction by YHWH). For the old, there was no 'renewal'... therefore the New.

    The Salvation Paul was waiting for was a new spiritual body. Jesus was not physically resurrected as "flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God". Jesus had a spiritual body. Paul was waiting for this hope..." we shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed. The last trumpet will sound and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air". Paul never mentioned salvation being about going to heaven as a spirit and hell being eternal torment.

    Prof. Tabor thank You for this uplod ...🙏👍.
    my questions are;
    first:
    is there any historical grounding when Paul say ; i recieved this Gospel from Jesus himself?..
    is just a "literary" things?
    second
    is there any (authoritative, textual) source of James (the brother of Jesus) that counters what Paul teaching?..
    exactly in this "salvation" thing??..
    some kind of ebionite written documents??..
    if there are documents of this kind, which party have legalistic (tradisional) approach and which more revolusional, phylosopical. one ?
    can there be a theological truth based only from (mythical, philosophical) literary truth but without some support of historical truth??..
    I think only man in your caliber is able to investigate this sort of thing.....
    Thank You..🙏🙏🙏

      God created man with free will to make his own choices. Only in free will can love be
      truly expressed and received and appreciated and exist as part of creation. The Bible
      teaches that we are all made a New Creation in Christ through faith and are then able to
      RE-ENTER the EXPERIENCE OF GOD'S LOVE through a Spiritual rebirth INTO the
      unconditional love of God wherein we can be made a new creation in that love through
      faith, in the rebirth experience of the Cross of Jesus by which we die to our sinful
      nature acquired through the fallen ego, and are reborn into the perfect unconditional
      love of God though and in relationship with His Holy Spirit of perfect love.
      I don't have time right now to list all the Bible verses. One is 1John 4:7-19 and
      John 17:22.23.26
      God bless you.

    This is a little far out but Paul can meet personally and physically with Jesus to be taught by Jesus. Jesus has that capacity to appear in ‘physical’ form which is his spirit somewhat materialized. This is Jesus in his resurrection body which he can chose to appear in physical form.

    Nobody finds it odd that this "gospel" that "Yeshua" gave to Paul was so different than The Gospel that was taught to the actual Twelve Apostles by Yeshua and that Paul's "Yeshua" didn't go to the actual Twelve Apostles and let them know that The Gospel was being changed ???? If you read Matthew 24:24-26 and Acts 3:21 you'd see that it wasn't Yeshua on the road to Damascus , it was the same FALSE CHRIST that Yeshua said would come , claiming to be Him and not to believe him

      ​There were two ministries; one to Jews and one to Gentiles (Galatians 2:7-10). Paul and his disciples (Acts 9:25) ministry was to the Gentiles (Romans 11:13, 2 Timothy 4:17). Jesus is universal to both Judaism and Christianity (Romans 9:5, Isaiah 2:4, Galatians 3:28).
      Christianity is the gospel Paul received from Jesus (Galatians 1: 11-12) during Paul’s ascension to Heaven (2 Corinthians 12:1-7).
      Paul was prophesied in a text found in the Dead Sea Scrolls (Testament of Benjamin Chapter 11).

    When you see Yerushalayim with invader's gather against Her and invading.
    Than Yahusha will return.
    But He will have the Name of Yahuah.
    He was the Malach of Yahuah. Before He came down as Yahusha.
    But now there will be echad Yahuah.
    And Yahuah shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Yahuah, and his name echad. ZAKARYAHU (ZECHARIAH) 14:9 את CEPHER
    Blessed be he that comes in the name of Yahuah: we have blessed you out of the house of Yahuah. TEHILLIYM (PSALMS) 118:26 את CEPHER
    Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and Amein I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of Yahuah. LUQAS (LUKE) 13:35 את CEPHER
    BEHOLD, the day of Yahuah comes, and your spoil shall be divided in the midst of you. For I will gather all nations against Yerushalayim to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall Yahuah go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. ZAKARYAHU (ZECHARIAH) 14:1-3 את CEPHER
    Then shall Yahuah go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Yerushalayim on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the Negev.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Yerushalayim.
