  • *sigh* Doug you pretty much described my whole issue at 38:17. My Bf and i arnt married and I want to be strong in God but hes not a christian so im stuck. i wasnt a christian when we met. I want a christian husband but its clear his salvation is out of my hands. But i struggle with the idea of discarding almost 4 years with someone who doesnt discourage my walk withGod, asks questions, and is better than 98% of the christians i have met. i just cant fix it and it hurts. i have alot of questions

  • 2 Peter 3:15-16 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation--as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

  • I have to commend this video,very well explaned and scripturally grounded.  The apostle Paul was a great instrument of God. He who was formally an enemy of the gospel eventually became its greatest expounder and propagator and it was all the work of the Lord God..

  • The early church fathers mentioned a community of Christians known as the ebionites as having the ONLY Christian writing written by an actual apostle (matthew), and in the Hebrew script. Coincidentally enough, it was discovered that the ebionites had utterly rejected Paul as a false prophet

  • @pianokid100 I think you're confused. I think you mean the Ebionites ONLY used the Gospel of Matthew. We know that there are other WRITINGS by "actual apostles" (I,2 Peter, I,2,3 John, Revelation, etc.). But, yes, they DID reject Paul. And the early church fathers mentioned them - in the sense that they were Judaizers and heretics.

  • @fotm1 Well if the "church Fathers" say so... lol

  • I hated Paul for decades because he seemed to callously dismiss and revile women's intellect and spiritual integrity. It took me years indeed to come to what is still a wobbly truce with him. It helps to read the WHOLE of Paul, and to have a few years under your belt---years taking your knocks and coming to an understanding of how God actually works--to appreciate Paul's greatness, and God's wisdom in taking this cruel lawyer and throwing him down into the desert dirt, all those centuries ago.

  • Man alive...with Chistians like we are below, who needs enemies!

  • you know why people say paul is a false apostole cuase they don read JESUS and the 12 preach the gospel of the kingdom to the jews paul gospel was reveal only to him by mistery tird we are gentiles not jews so we live by paul doctrine we have to rigtly divide the word of trhut 2 tim 2:15

  • I heard you mention all the sub groups except the Black Hebrew Israelites

  • @secondplace88 Oh, yeah. they're some of the nastiest! Just flat MEAN! Not all, but every loud one that I've run into.

  • @fotm1 Yea everyone I ran into is mean and if you have a disagreement than they see you as an enemy somehow

  • AMEN Doug!!! beautiful video, You speak the TRUTH!!! Abba bless you bro =)

  • @Jacki79 Amen to that bro.

  • @inhisgrip011 (That's a sis.)

  • This is a difficult video for u to make because there is no disputing the fact that Paul spoke thru the spirit of satan. Paul states that that Jesus came to abolish God's Law so that all wickedness can enter heaven so that they may continue their fornications, murder, rapes, lies and filth in the heavens(Eph. 2:14-15). Jesus, the prophets and saints proclaim that no wickedness shall enter heaven(Mathew 5:17-18, Rev. 20:12-13). Paul is and was a murderer turned liar, a wolf in sheep's clothing.

  • @Israel5535 No, that wasn't it at all! It was difficult to make because I KNEW that I was going to endlessly be assaulted by legalistic, immature jerks that insisted on lying about Paul and twisting everything that I say. Nor does Ephesians 2 say anything LIKE what you just said. You do not rightly divide. You're looking to self-justify the position you've already taken. And I don't know why I bother trying to discuss with you because you clearly are unteachable.

    So, let me just say - NOPE.

  • @fotm1 Eph. 2:14-15, "For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one, and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, 15 by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace.”

  • @fotm1 Paul writes that the Law of God which is also called the Law of Moses, is “the enmity” The one who hates the Law and is enemy of the Law is none other than satan himself and the fallen angels and their descendants.

  • @fotm1 First u say it is a difficult video to make the u say it isn't. Spoken like a true demon. You are laughable demon. I pray God continue His wrath with tornadoes, tsunamis, floods and earthquakes until satans descendants are destroyed and imprisoned in Mystery Babylon U.S.A. your new home demon. You wilL never understand the Word of God because u r liar and murderer just like father satan as it is written.

  • @Israel5535 Hehehe... I need a week off from work to laugh eough on this JOKE... ! Your words clearly shows who are you following !!! Thank you for making it very clear about your Darkened living ! Again... i need more than a weekk .... to laught enough on this joke of yours !! LOLLLLLLL

  • @fotm1 Many hate me, and many more will hate. God's wrath is Is coming with warning and His wrath shall be absolute demon. No legalistics. Just the Word of God which is the truth. And the truth is the Word of God.

  • @Israel5535 The ugliness in your heart is proof that you are worshiping another Jesus. And all of your comments are proof that I was right that you are unteachable and under a delusion. You seem to be able to justify any bad behavior in the name of your hatred for Paul. Jesus said, "Love one another as I have loved you." I'm SURE GLAD that Jesus loves me better than YOU do!

  • @fotm1 All have to go thru Jesus first. You r a false teaches and even the though evidence is at your disposal, you preah lies, deciet and hatred toward the truth. Again demon, I pray God continue His wrath and that u your family and hometown r to next recieve the wrath of God demon. Then u you will see God's strength and power. This is not hatred but anger against those that pknowingly preach falsehoods. You follow human tradition and not the Word of God. Go to my site demon and view my vision.

  • @Israel5535 Nope.

  • @Israel5535 You sure have not learned to control your fear & your anger.... You need ANGER MANAGEMENT CLASS, may be for a whole year sir ! Plz help yourself !

  • @Israel5535 You quote the teachings of a demon. This message is just not for u, but for all demons who preach the teachings of the antichrist, such as yourself. It is satan and the antichrist who love u for preacing falsehoods. I hate the wickedness that people do, such as yourself and I pray God punish you and your family and your home town for your blasphemies, demon. I speak the truth and speak by calling me names. U listen to voices which r evil spirits and then say it is God.

  • @Israel5535 By your own words you stand convicted. You claim to follow God and the teachings of God. But God says:

    Romans 12:14 "Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse."

    Yet you curse our of your flesh and wish for disaster. This is NOT the heart of Jesus.

  • @fotm1 Yes I curse u because you keep quoting the teachings of the demon Paul. U know that PPaul staes that Jesus came to abolish the ten commandments and so that all wicked shall enter heaven. Yea, I curse u your family and your hometown. Paul is a self apponted apostle, Their r only 12 apstles, no more and no more and no less. Europeans came here tp persecute by murdering, raping and bringing their Enuclaw sex farms. U celebrate thanksgiving to your god satan for bringing this to the Americas

  • @Israel5535 What's the point of talking to you? You don't even know the Bible. There are over 20 referred to as apostles in the Bible. For example: Galatians 1:19 - But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother. James was the apostle of Jerusalem & isn't one of the twelve. That's just ONE example!

    Tell you what. You've cursed me & my town. When is this curse going to manifest & how, Mr. Prophet ? Let's hold you accountable so that when it proves false you can repent.

  • @fotm1 The bible is corrupt. There are only twelve apostles and only tweleve tribes of Israel. No more, no less. The number 12 is a significant number as is the number 7. So, now I am called a prophet. HMMM. If your town is destroyed or some calamity strike your town, it is not by me, but by God's wrath. Praise should be given to God, not me. You need to remember, I only prayed. I did not give an order. Choose your words careful. I did not choose, but was chosen and cannot hide from it anymore.

  • @Israel5535 Your heart is wrong, your hearing is off, you're firing blanks and you don't scare me at all. I know who I am and what God has planned for this town. A curse without a cause cannot alight. You're full of crap. Child, you should go hide some more until you're done cooking and then you might come out with some LOVE and some humility and some restraint of your tongue. Right now you're just unteachable and still under a delusion.

    How's them words, son? Clear enough?

  • @Israel5535 Excuse me... were you trying to say something ??? ( Sounds like pure Blabber to me.. ) Anyways next time.. pleaseee say it clear with sentences that connects ! Goodness !!

  • @Israel5535

    Jesus was also accused of being a demon

  • @Israel5535 Phewww... Somebody needs Good Old spankin to his hiney.. for talking No Sense while debating.... How does europeans coming to USA affects Paul's Image ??? Dude... You are seriously hired as a Clown Talk show host !! Get life !

  • @fotm1 Jesus said vengeance shall be His. Have you heard of the two witnesses? Keep quoting the demon Paul to add to your plagues and curses. You hear voices? They are of evil spirits speaking to u because u r of statan.

  • @Israel5535  Are you one of the two witnesses?

  • @fotm1 I am who I am. I am not God. Nor am I Jesus. I do not claim to be a prophet or a saint. I am who I am. Just know this, and that is the the end is near and that this generation shall not pass without witnessing the tribulation.

  • @Israel5535 Lol... Next!!!! You are Hired as a clown talker !!

  • @Israel5535 What is your site? And paul in Eph. 2:14-15 was not talking about God's Laws as in the 10 commandments but the "law of commandments expressed in ordinances" which are the physical sacrifices of blood and drink sacrifices and so on which was ordained to the jews, but now we offer spiritual sacrifices as it is written that God seeks those that worship him in spirit and in truth. I am not defending doug or anything but paul a demon, that is just a first I've heard...

  • The people in Greece were only beginning to get acquainted with Christianity, and Paul was fighting a battle on may fronts. The romans, the jews, the wild variety of religions in the region. I disagree with Paul on some matters, but I still respect him, because he spread Christianity under very difficult conditions. And I am far from perfect myself, so I should give him some rope as well, I think.

  • I don't beleive that paul was a false prophet b/c once i was convinced that it was not grace and that is was by mercy i had been saved, i tried to convince my pastor of this but he just said "WHO ARE YOU?" I felt crushed in my spirit and the evil spirit which posessed me said "I am he that foams at the mouth!". Thank God it is by faith in Jesus that I am saved.

  • Two idols of the Moon-god were found, proving Allah was pre-Islamic pagan deity… Here is a photo of Allah sitting on a throne… notice the crescent moon on his chest..The Moon-god Allah in the Archeology of the Middle East by Robert A Money ( page 6 ).. So now you see that on the day of judgement… You and all Muslims will be trembling.You have been betrayed.

  • Just like Paul said, Galatians 4:16 Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?

  • You are a deceiver.

  • @Mormonites Seriously? Your channel is a spoof, right? Please tell me it's all a joke, cause it's hard for me to believe that ANYBODY could be so foolish as to claim what you have claimed on your channel and still keep a straight face. It's a spoof, right? You're mocking mormonism, right? Or do you really believe Joseph Smith is God incarnate and part of the trinity with Lucifer and Jesus? And you call ME names?!

  • Apostle Paul was not an Apostle, he was a fraud. The blood of Christ is upon your damned soul.

  • Wow..maybe Ive been living in a cave for 53 years...lol. I had no idea there was any kind of anti-Paul group. Matter of fact, I tend to think of him as the very first Christian apologeticist. Can you imagine that? Maybe its just my simple-minded way of telling myself...Yep, look at Paul..it is very possible to walk this world as if walking in the valley in the shadow of death yet fearing no evil.

  • @tonysshadow I never knew that either lol. 

  • Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord you know Paul was an apostle, when i first clicked this i told myself, first thing he says about Paul not being an apostle i'm ending it lol ... I enjoied this video, thanks brother.

  • @SaxxonThespian Cause I asked God & He said so. ;-) How's that for circular? ;-)

    Actually, that's a very good question. The Bible says "we will know them (those who are hearing God & obeying) by their fruit." Rodroll33 says I'm preaching lawlessness & everybody is deceived (which would include him). So we would take a look at his fruit versus my fruit. This is what the Bible calls fruit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. (Gal 5:22-23)

  • Good vidya thank you

  • Thank you....I advise you to look at Paul, he is a false apostle and as you know a "murderer from the beginning" and "dreamer of dreams", directly contradicting everything Yahshua taught about...the 10 commandments are still alive and well, black "Sunday" church is a direct offense to His commandments. Yes we are under grace, but the Law was NEVER abolished. Matt 5:17-18 Yahshua came to fulfill the law, not destroy it until heaven and earth pass away, and not one part of the Law changed.

  • @rodroll33 Nope. Do you really hear God? Are you just going on what somebody taught you or do you really hear the voice of God?

  • @fotm1

    Not only do I hear Him, I obey Him, and I only have Him for refuge, because the whole world is deceived. Family friends, EVERYONE. Don't promote LAWLESSNESS!

  • @rodroll33 good point i still believe the bible is the word of God. we got to becareful of throwing books out of the bible

  • Yah always was graceful and merciful, but read Jude 4 "Use of grace to abolish the Law." Paul is the one who taught grace with no works but in the book of James says "faith with no works is dead". And the works is followin His Law. the catholic church and 28,000 denominations exist because of the confusion caused by Paul. We live in a LAWLESS world and look at the condition of our people! It angers the Creator greatly this abomination. READ THESE! 1Cor chapters 8 & 9- Rev 2:13-14 meat to idols

  • @rodroll33 Nope.

  • @fotm1

    Then we can respectfully agree to DISAGREE....Peace.

  • @rodroll33 If Paul was a false apostle then why did he write anything? The whole reason he changed from persecuting Christians to becoming one of the greatest defenders of Christianity was because he saw Jesus himself. If Paul was not an apostle then what was he, and why would he put so much effort into preaching something he did not understand? Your argument does not make sense, Christ clearly says both are important, in the preaching of Paul there is no contradiction.

  • @Gaaminator "...was because he saw Jesus himself." Wrong. Paul never met Jesus except in visions and trances. The True Twelve Apostles in Jerusalem replaced Judas with a True Apostle, whom they defined as someone who was with Jesus "from the beginning." Paul says following the law (any of it) is not important to salvation. Jesus answered someone who asked, "What must I do to be saved" with "obey the commandments." This is clear and a contradiction.

  • @nhprman The law given to Moses and the prophets through the old testament are not exactly the same as the commandments. You need to see the whole context not just stare in one or two verses and then draw a conclusion of that level..

  • @nhprman

    37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Mat 22:37-40 KJV)

  • I love all this "my bit of the bible is better than your bit of the bible" shit.

    You have a bunch of stone age myths and rake through them looking for some crumbs that appear relevant to your life and disregarding the bulk. You then exhort people to believe your interpretation of the myths and ignore everything else.

    And the best bit? You see no irony in what you are doing at all!

  • @Huttate1 That's cute. The problem is, I don't believe a myth. Jesus is more real than you are. I believe what I believe because I was an eye-witness to EVIDENCE that proves beyond any doubt that Jesus Christ is exactly who and what He said He was.

  • @fotm1 That's right - and I saw the Statue of Liberty disappear but that wasn't real either. Of course David Copperfield is, which puts him one up on christ, whom was a manufactured myth designed from scratch to feed the apocolyptic new testament.

    There is a name for people who KNOW and HAVE SEEN and have EVIDENCE for things that are imaginary.

  • @Huttate1 Again, I know the difference between imaginary and not. Jesus is REAL and He's alive and I've seen Him. I don't want you to think I'm a nice guy that is a little off. Either I'm right or I'm a raving loony. Pick an opinion and stick with it. Won't hurt my feelings.

    I sure respect how much faith you have in the certainty of your convictions that Jesus was a fabricated, fictional character. That requires a lot of self-deception to maintain. Goodonya.

  • @fotm1 It is not a question of faith but simple logic.

    Have you seriously questioned why little old you have been specifically selected from the seven billion people on the planet to have this experience?

    If you have seen Jesus Christ, who is shown by philological and linguistic analysis of the bible myths to have been a fabricated character, then you need psychiatric help. If you have seen a 2000 year old dead guy called simply Jesus then you still need help.

  • @Huttate1 You're not using logic, you're regurgitating theories of MEN. It's not your own research, you're not a first hand eye witness. You're expressing FAITH in the opinions of linguists & atheists & those whose position you sympathize with & WANT to believe. You don't want to hear any argument, so you can sustain your position.

    Yes, Jesus Christ is real. And I'm not the only one who ever had that kind of experience. I know LOTS. The apostles didn't get tortured & martyred for a fiction.

  • @fotm1 No faith required. The scientific method relies on peer reviewing hypotheses to prove its validity. The consensus is heavily dominated by religious investigators. Sadly for you it is only a very small minority who read what is not there to defend their [and your] faith.

    Many people have been tortured and martyred for believing in myths. It is very likely that a preacher called Jesus stirred up religion 2000 years ago and was killed as a result.

    So you saw a 2000 year old dead man.

  • @Huttate1 Have u ever saught jesus? in acts they all saught and repented and waited in one accord, with the same mind... the promise... the word identifies himself with fire, dont u dare... put anyone down, until u have whole heartedly waited and repented, and called upon the lord... as they did in acts, because then ull know... dont get ahead of urself and think ur too smart... u cannot think away and explain a mystery... repnt of ur sins, call upon the lord and wait on his promise, THEN judge

  • Doud is wrong, it wasnt 100,000 pieces of silver, it was only 50,000 pieces

    19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

    Acts 19:19 (KJV)

  • @37highpalerider  Yep. You're right. My bad.

  • 50:01 "But we need to show a lot of mercy to the folks that are trying to seek the deep things and trying to answer the big questions, because it costs a lot. It costs a lot to suffer enough, to be persecuted enough, to touch His heart enough, to hear answers to the some of the really deep questions."

    How true. Thank you.

  • SATAN is a deceiver and a Liar ! ..and so Are these Paul Haters..

    So you mean to say we need to OMIT half of the New Testament of which the

    Apostle Paul wrote? DELUSIONS are happening in the last days!

    Posters and readers..don't be part of it please..

    Someone went to heaven and he even saw & talk with Paul the Apostle ...so

    beware about these deceptions in the end times!

  • @1gerrc Who was this person who went to heaven and talked with Paul? Is this true?

  • @godschildyes I think he's talking about Rick Joyner. I'm not a fan.

  • @fotm1 LOL Oh I see. LOLI didn't understand. Thank you! Rick Joyner...Okay...hummmmm.....

  • @godschildyes In fact, Rick Joyner says that he had a long talk with Paul in heaven and Paul commented about how Rick Joyner's books were better than Paul's books.

  • @fotm1 Oh heavens no! YIKES! I believe in the miraculous but that is just downright crazy!! That makes me mad! No wonder people think we believers are a joke! When you got people like this saying stuff like THAT! MAN! I don't see Rick's books in the BIBLE! So God must have known what He was doing!!! WOW!

  • @fotm1 That is CRAZY! I don't know whether to laugh or cry! WOW!

  • Apostle Paul is a True Apostle of Christ ! Period !

  • They prayed in the wrong name.They prayed in the name of "Jesus whom Paul" preached. This was a different Jesus than that of the Apostles.

    Google: false apostle Paul. Google: Paul and Plato.

    You will find Paul gets almost all his doctrine from the university he attended in Athens. Athens University of Zeus Divinity School.

    All Jesus'churches are in Asia.Rev1.Everyone in Asia deserted Paul.2Tim1:15.All the churches of Jesus rejected Paul.Rev2,Jesus said good job.Paul false prophet.

  • Check this out.You will be blessed. Place a (.) before the (com)

    jesuswordsonlycom/JWO/freechap­tersonline.html

  • Acts is written By Luke, who accounts to Theophilus what paul tells him. So of coarse Paul says that demons were afraid of Paul. Matt7:22-23 "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." The original greek word 'inequity' is translated as "anomia" meaning lawless. Paul is "anti-law"

  • Amen brother, I admire your viewpoint here. If anyone is confused about this issue read the following books...Acts,Romans 6,7,8...and all of Galations. The point of many anti Paul claims are in regard to Antinomianism. Bless your pursuit, I have been studying Paul for about 8 months, hopefully my knowledge can help someone.

  • So is FOTM1 = Follower of the Messiah? idk just came to my mind, anyways i hear you say jesus alot, wondering if u know him as Yeshua Christ? i agree with alot of what you say, if not all. and uhhm thanks for making this video it helps me alot, sabbath is saturday i believe but ya, thanks and god bless you, also im very young in scripture, im 20 years old and i went to teen challenge for 3 months and ended up doing drugs but after i left i havent touched drugs, sry for my name, from along ago

  • @wyre666 FOTM is for Fellowship Of The Martyrs (dot com). Lots of great stuff on there. Yes, I know Jesus as Yeshua or Yahshua or Yahoshua, depending on who you're talking to. But I don't get legalistic about it - He knows who I'm talking to. :-)

  • so you can keep paul. nothing wrong with listening to the words of Jesus only.

  • at 4:00 Doug claims Jesus name was held in high regard because of Paul lol. I guess Doug never read the four Gospels are the old testament. Wow

  • @thementalpatient2005 that is NO what Doug said/meant. The demons themselves confirm Paul lol.

    From the sound of things though, it seems you know what the demons say firsthand to deceive today too...

  • @kenandjasha yes the demons confirm Paul in Paul's writings. Not no one else's.

  • @thementalpatient2005 Then if the demons confirm Jesus and Paul as authority, theres your proof from the dark side. Dough already showed you how God confirms him

    Your denial of Paul puts you in the demons camp. It seems you are quite comfortable there "mentalpatient" with your different gospel of lies

    TO ANYONE ELSE READING THIS THREAD IGNORE MENTALPATIENT BASED ON GODS WARNING from Gal 1:8: But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you let him be accursed!

  • Comment removed

  • Look, I know Jesus is who he supposed to be. I wrestled an alien demon, had a house filled with demons, and the name of Yeshua got them the hell out. Demons fear Jesus (Period). Gona finish your vid later. Good one. what's with all these "law" givers on YT?

  • @PHANTOMSLAYER777 great testimony...anyone who has battled demons knows this to be true...Jesus is the only way out and protection. They are in subjection to real Christians in his name as well. Without HIM though...watch out they dont play around...

  • @kenandjasha Amen, off to befriend you. Hehehe.

  • You are not kidding. I just ran into a sister nuts on Jesus real name, Paul a mason, etc.. All Paul did was extol Jesus. These people claim Paul was giving license to sin. What nonsense. How did I ever stop watching your videos??? Full circle, I guess.

  • was not the bible canonized by the catholic church and if so could it not have some wrong in it or might not have everything it needs? i know that some books were taken out after the reformation so could it be possible some is wrong, or incomplete? just asking out of curiosity.

  • @pneuma1981 There are LOTS of books that have the imprint and inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The most important thing of all is to KNOW GOD and be able to hear His voice when He speaks through a person, a book, a dream or a sunset. The HOLY SPIRIT is supposed to be our teacher. If a person isn't careful they can make the Bible an idol. It is NOT the WORD of God - JESUS is the Word of God. (John 1:1) The Bible is SOME of the words of the Word of God. But He still speaks and we need to listen.

  • @fotm1 The Bible is a collection of narratives and opinion articles written by various men of God. In those writings there are right and wrong ideas, specially in the letters of Paul. The important thing is to submit ourselves to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This way we will see, for example, the character vices that affected Paul and how they limited his ministry. Yet he was able to forge ahead by surrendering his will to the will of God. I honestly hope to see him in heaven!

  • @pneuma1981 The New Testament should be seen as a picture of the Christian Church from the birth of Christ to just before the Fall of Jerusalem. This picture presents the various factions within that church, their conflicts and ideas. As we study that moving, dynamic picture, in prayer and humble submission to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit guides us to understand and to grow in God. So it is not a matter of the NT being the word of God: it is an instrument he uses to teach us.

  • Yeshua praised the Church at Ephesus because they have tested those who called themselves apostles and had found them false. Apocalypse 2:2. Who were those false apostles who had preached at Ephesus...

  • @zekigpr Good question. Are you really going to fill in the blanks with Paul and his crew because that fits your fancy? How about the Judaizers and the very false apostles that Paul was constantly warning against? How about John the Revelator? He was an apostle that preached in Ephesus. Are you saying that ALL apostles that ever preached in Ephesus were false? Or just Paul?

  • @fotm1 It follows that if the Revelation of Yeshua came thru John, and John preached at Ephesus, then the message about false prophets preaching at Ephesus does not refer to John, nor to the twelve apostles who preached a similar message. The only one who the Book of Acts shows that preached a different version of Christianity and claimed to be an Apostle was Paul... 2 +2 = 4.

  • @zekigpr No, your assumptions are wrong, so your math is flawed. I don't believe that Paul preached a different gospel, nor do I think that you can get Peter to read that way without squinting your eyes and turning your head a certain way to ignore the obvious reading.

    2 Peter 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

    This is clearly an ENDORSEMENT of a BELOVED BROTHER.

  • @fotm1 no doubt this is support of paul...there is no other interpretation...one can choose to simply ignore anything..Satan can even blind us from the gospel that is the truth if we abandon truth for lies in our hearts he will let us only see what we want to see.

  • @fotm1 Do a test, remove for a moment 2 Peter 3:1-16 and see how the flow of the text is not altered. Also 1st of Peter looks like a Pauline Epistle. Most likely writen by a disciple of Paul after the year 70. Why was this done? To harmonize the teachings of the disciples with those of Paul, while subordinating them to the teachings of Paul. Without 1st Peter and 2nd Peter 3:1-16 the message of Peter looks like those of John, James and Jude... in open contrast to the message of Paul...

  • @zekigpr A) That's NO kind of reasonable logic to just cut and paste out of the Bible anything inconvenient. B) That's HORRIBLE exigesis. C) Because it's so self-serving, it's what is called isogesis. It's evidence of how weak this argument is. D) The message of Paul is not inconsistent with the message of Jesus and the others. You just WANT it to be.

    Let me ask YOU a question. Do you hear the voice of the Lord? All day, all the time? If not, why not? Did JESUS tell you that Paul was false?

  • @fotm1 . Paul and his letters were full of himself, just as Yeshua implied in the road to Damascus. I do believe, however that he learned to control his ego. He grew out of it. I hope to see him in heaven... Unfortunately, his self aggrandizement affected his disciples who continue to worship him as the defacto creator of Christianity. Once again 1st Peter is a Pauline Epistle and 2nd Peter 3:1-16 was added to elevate Paul above the Apostles, nice trick that tricked so many for so long.

  • @fotm1 To answer your questions: The Ruach Hakodesh, The Spirit of Holiness, is my teacher, my guide. The Ruach Hakodesh gave me wisdom to see the good and the bad about Paul so that I may see him as he was. This way I can learn from his life not to be full of myself and to surrender my intellect to God's will. We can learn a lot from the life of Paul, if only we stop worshiping his writings!

  • @zekigpr wow I noticed the same thing. Even when I use to believe that Paul was a true follower of Christ I noticed that both 1st Peter and especially second Peter sounded as if Paul wrote them. Now that I realize that Paul is the man Jesus spoke of in John5:43; I know it was Paul who wrote them. You can look at Peter's behavior in the 4gospels and you can tell that the character portrayed in 1st and 2nd Peter isn't the rock on whom Christ promised to build his church.

  • @thementalpatient2005 I actually believe that 2nd Peter was written by Peter, except the passage from chapter 3 verses 1 thru 16. Seems to me they were written not by Paul but by a disciple of Paul who wanted to harmonize and subordinate he writings of the 12 disciples to those of Paul. I think that Paul was not evil, just full of himself, his latter letters to Timothy and Titus seems to indicate that he learned his lessons, that he repented and mended his ways. Hope to see him in heaven!

  • @thementalpatient2005 Preterits could be partially right. Jesus promised HIS DISCIPLES in a private conversation that he would come back to take THEM away.( John 14:1-3, Luke 21:28, When? Just before the fall of Jerusalem. If it happened then it is logical that following generation, from about the years 70 onward tried to harmonized Paul and Peter, and since they were primarily gentiles, they tended to subordinate the teachings of Peter and the Jerusalem church to the teachings of Paul...

  • to pray in the name of Jesus is to live the life of Jesus not to end the prayer with " in the name of Jesus when you know dam well you are not fully giving all for Gods LOVE and that you are not being like the merciful father in heaven that lets the sun rise even on the wicked ..except for the to witnesses and the lord Jesus + vengeance is mine saith the lord +

  • Thank's Doug! Well done 'praise the Lord'

  • What is the difference between a couple living together and fornacating and a truly married couple if a ceromony at a church building and a licence does not make a marrige?

  • @freedom4life77 First of all, a marriage license from the State is a recent thing (historically speaking) and not a requirement, even by them! See my video on that.

    Additionally, there are tons of church buildings where Jesus has NEVER been in there. So the building doesn't make it holy and the paper doesn't make it holy - and the ceremony itself doesn't make it holy.

    It's HOLY MATRIMONY when it is God-ordained, God-directed, God-centered, God-blessed. Anything less is adultery against God.

  • @freedom4life77 A couple who are living together as husband and wife are husband and wife before God. The law of God does not establishes a marriage ceremony. That was a social ceremony in biblical times. Before God the important thing is the determination of the couple to live together as husband and wife to raise a family and care for their children.

  • I've spoken to a cult group trying to defend Jesus (Yes, as a baby Christian) and I've was tempted and fell into some serious bondage to porn and even summoning spirits. It has been two years and I have yet to be totally free. They have "elders" also.

    Their not to be messed with unless you have the FULL armor of God. You have sin in your life, you have open doors to be attacked. Even if you're using the name of Jesus, you MUST stop seeking sin/double minded, you have to close doors

  • Hey, Doug!

    Why is it some demons are stronger than others? Could it be years of bondage on a person, or cult, generations? We know there are also certain different ranks of angels, which I'm sure went into the fallen angels,

  • @GodExistsEternally There is a link between external demons and what we hide and discard in the occult closets of our memory. Those feelings, ideas, memories we hide there regroup themselves and become hidden second personalities that wrestle against us from the inside. Perhaps when an external spirit connects itself to our inner "demons", then to get rid of it, we have to deal with both, the external spirit and the internal trauma: prayer, fasting and counseling are needed!

  • Every now and then the devil throws doubts in my heart about Apostles Pauls apostleship. What if he is a false prophet, because sometimes he is so anti Jewish and agianst God's law. But then I trust in God and he allowed the letters of Paul to reside in the Bible.

  • @2pacOG His love for the people far overwhelms anything that might seem "anti-Jewish". This is the guy that said, "That I would be cursed from Christ, if only the Jews would hear the Gospel." Do you understand that?! That he would lay down his eternal salvation & go to hell if only the Jews could reach Christ. That's not anti-Jewish! That's the LOVE of God! The only other Biblical example I can find of that is Ex 32:32.

    I make no apologies for trying to raise up a people that love THAT much.

  • @fotm1 I don't mean Anti Jewish in that sense. However, I meant anti Judaism, as the religion. Jesus Christ preached to follow the law and keep it. Surprisingly, Paul's letters teach that the Church should be as far away from Judaism as possible. For example circumcision is God's permanent law,but Paul is not in favor of it.To say circumcision was for Jews only, is to say the New Covenant with Jesus is a lie, cuz how can circumcision be a permanent law when God knows he will send his son, unless

  • @2pacOG Genesis 17:13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an EVERLASTING covenant. God is speaking to Abraham and this point God had no covenant with the Hebrews, so you can't say the Jews broke the covenant. circumcision is a is between God and mankind, and God said to Abraham all generations must do it. But how can a law be everlasting, didn't God know that Jesus will fulfill them. Unless.

  • @2pacOG "Permanent law" is the problem. There are lots of times when God says things (because Hebrew literature is like that) that sound permanent, but aren't as permanent as we would think. I can't cover this here, do a study on all the times that He says "to you and your children forever" and see that some were clearly NOT forever - or were conditional. "There will never fail to be a son of David on the throne of Israel" - IF you obey. If you don't, all bets are off.

  • @2pacOG Circumcision is a good example. The old law is the carnal shadow (foreskins) of the new covenant where we're to have circumcised hearts. Circumcision is STILL required, but it's a different kind. Not our physical reproductive organ, but our hearts - the spiritual reproductive organ. No longer are we known by our lineage of physical seed (sperm and egg), but of our spiritual seed (spiritual mothers and fathers that spoke Christ into us). See?

  • @2pacOG Paul was a missionary called by Yeshua and anointed by the Spirit. But he was not perfect. He had an arrogant heart and resisted the will of God many times, before and after his conversion. His writings are his writings. If you take them as that and compare them with the direct teachings of Jesus and his direct disciples you will learn from them. You will also learn from Paul's blunders not to be arrogant and self-centered as he was. Yet Yeshua called him and anointed him....

  • Thanks brother. Gods blessings.

  • Brother praise God. I've followed Jesus all my life. And I've done it with all my heart(hehe), and with my eyes so tight shut. Still I would praise God and still have my little harmless smoke on the side. A few months ago something happened. In one night Jesus came down after years of asking. He healed me and exposed other things I would leave. And He revealed prayers I asked Him as a young child that I forgot I made. He kept His promise even after I forgot. It made me cry. Revival time!

  • Great job brother. People have been twisting God's word for thousands of years. Who are we not to expect that people will not twist the very word we're delivering? The demon named ADHD is running wild, better believe it!

  • Thanks for clearing stuff up about Paul. Yesturday I got attacked in the spirit on this same subject. Amazing how sometimes I can start doubting stuff, tho everytime God straighten things out. Pray for me, I've had some terrible wierd questions for God lately.

  • tuned in because i git caught up in the tiltle, watched 12 mins and saved to favs. this is very challenging and good, as in real. will be back i hope. thank you mr.

  • I have done much study on Maud and Ballington Booth. Loved their zeal for the Lord. Blessings to you brother, Lynda

  • they refuse to learn to discern the differance between good and evil. it is mostly a waste land out there just read ISAIAH CHAPTER 59.THE ANSWER IS ISAIAH 58 TRUE FAST.ALL THE POINTS OF LIGHT NEED TO JOIN THEIR EFFORT TOGETHER IMMEDIATELY!

  • oh! Also, do you believe we are under the covenant described in Jer 31? Just curious.

  • Hi Doug. I have a couple of questions for you. First, if we are not to keep Torah, why did Yah hate certain things (eating pigs flesh, profaning the sabbath, etc) and why does it say He will hate these things in the end times (Isaiah 66, just one example) but right now He is fine with it? Second, How can you validate Paul by quoting Acts. Acts was written by Luke, a friend/follower of Paul. That's like saying Mohammad is a prophet and using the Quran as proof. Interested in your thoughts.

  • @rsims87 I'll answer the second question: Written by a friend of Paul's or not..God's appointed apostles are men of GOD! If they were betrayer's of the Body they would have been made examples of just like Judas. You brought up the end times in your first question--what do you think about Rev 21:14 ? "And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb." Yeah..both Paul and Luke are written on New Jerusalem. It's more like God approved Paul...

  • @IIAQUAII Hi. You answer about Revelation makes no sense. The twelve Apostles do NOT include Paul and Luke. They are the original twelve disciples - Judas + Matthias. Even the book of Acts states that an Apostle must have been with them from the very beginning of Yahushua's (AKA Jesus) ministry. Does Paul fit the requirement of an Apostle? Then he comes along and misquotes Psalms to back up his statement that he gave "some Apostles" and now everyone thinks they can be an Apostle.

  • @rsims87 I know you don't truly believe Judas' name is going to be on one of the 12 gates of New Jerusalem. Judas betrayed the only begotten Son of God and you think he will be honored for it? Give me a break.

  • @IIAQUAII You misunderstood me. There were twelve Apostles. Judas was replaced by Matthias. Judas is not one of the twelve and neither is Paul. Do you understand now?

  • @rsims87 ok the way you phrased your sentence was weird I guess, but Paul calls himself an apostle in the bible. Maybe he is not 1 of the 12--I messed up there I admit--but God would not allow all the letters of Paul in the bible if he was false. The answer is simple. If the God can use the bible can expose Judas as a betrayer of Jesus..then why couldn't He stop Paul in his tracks? Everything in the bible is there b/c God made used man to make it that way. That's what I understand.

  • @IIAQUAII Yeah, everyone uses the "God would protect His Word" argument. Would He really? All bible used to contain the Apocrypha until like the 1880's. Was HE allowing false books then? Or, did He allow them to be taken away. Man has total free will, He says (in both the Torah and Revelation) not to add to or take away from His word... Why would He even bother with that commandment if He was never going to allow anyone to add to or take away anyway?

  • @rsims87 You made a good point--but did God not use His people to preserve the bible? Anyway, the topic is Paul and whether he was a true apostle. Paul obviously was and anyone that fully understands his teachings can see that. Paul followed Jesus and took carnal law and law written on tablets to a spiritual level. Paul taught that without love [God] nothing really mattered. You should do unto others with love--that's exactly what Jesus said the two greatest commandments were about. TRUE APOSTLE

  • @rsims87 First, I'm gonna go along with you that Paul's name is not likely to be on one of the twelve foundations. But I'm NOT going to agree with you that a general requirement for an "apostolos" is that they had to be with Jesus from the beginning of His ministry. That was for the replacement of Judas, not a requirement of all those who will be referred to as "apostles" in the Bible. In fact, there are over 20 named and referred to as "apostles". God still calls some to be "sent ones".

  • @rsims87

    The definition of an apostle is a commissioner.

    Matthew 10:1-2 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

    The difference of disciple/apostle is using what you learned as a commissioner.

  • @rsims87 Isaiah 66 is about paganism, about the groves & those eating mice & abominable things because of their occult worship. It's not about dietary laws. Clearly, this passage is talking about putting away the witchcraft & paganism of those who hide in the dark & do things they believe will spit in the eye of God. Earlier it even talks about those who offer sacrifices (lamb/ox/incense) but do it w/the wrong heart & motive. See the deep things.

    Man that is led by the Spirit is NOT under Law.

  • @fotm1 Yahushua was under the law... was He under Torah? Torah was inspiried BY the spirit. To make the two opposites is ridiculous. Did Yahushua keep Torah perfectly? Well then is He or is He not our example? What about the Sabbaths and New Moons spoken of in Isaiah? We will be keeping those in the Kingdom. Yah doesn't change. What was abominable to Him then is abominable now, don't you agree?

  • @rsims87 I think you refer to this:

    23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith Jehovah.

    Isaiah 66:23

    That is time keeping, a way of saying that continually, month by month, week by week people will come to worship. It's NOT saying that we will observe new moons and sabbaths the way Torah says.

  • @fotm1 That is your interpretation of the text. To determine if the law will be kept during the Millennial Kingdom a deeper study of the teachings of the Prophets and Yeshua is needed.

  • @rsims87 Yes, what He thought was an abomination before is still an abomination to Him. So what about this?

    13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; new moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies,-- I cannot away with iniquity and the solemn meeting. 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth; they are a trouble unto me; I am weary of bearing them. Isaiah 1:13-14

    It's not about the SABBATH - it's about the HEART BEHIND IT. That is the Law fulfilled.

  • I love you, Doug, my brother.... I pray that you can continue on with your ministry as I'm typing this.

  • Thank God, I was scared by the title for a second...

  • This is an argument that Muslims love to use against Christianity. Liberals who like to say homosexuality is an acceptable life style have adopted this stance against Paul as a legitimate Apostle as well.

    Paul is the Apostle to the nonJews and took the charge from the council of Jerusalem at Antioch and God used him to changed the World. Thank God for the Apostle Paul... Where would we be without his influence?

  • Its not fair to assume that just because one is receiving persecution that that automatically means they belong to Christ and that Christ knows him/her and is pleased with them. This is where discernment from the Lord is required and testing of the spirits with 1 Jn 4:2 is crucial.

  • @AmyEStroud That's correct. The video does not make that assumption. I said clearly that we need to increase in our discernment to know which is which - persecution for being like Jesus, or righteous judgement against those who are false. Many have shown themselves to be incapable of accurately knowing the difference.

  • I believe that Paul was a great Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ. The fact that a disciple of Jesus Christ will receive persecution doesn't negate the fact that there are false apostles and/or prophets who will receive warrened "persecution".

  • I believe there are 3 Groups(: one who want to learn, and the other two you mentioned.

  • Watching this makes me feel like I really do have so much to learn about.

  • Can you explain to me what you mean by "Get more Jesus"?Do you just mean more of everything to do with Him,such as His love ,guidance, forgiveness etc..Or do you mean something more specific?Thank you.

  • Also,it's kind of funny I hated Paul's epistles when I thought I was saved for 15 years or so but I really was not ,I couldn't handle him.Wasn't till I became truly born again that I actually understood and enjoyed his teachings,saw it in a total different light and everything he taught started click,know what I mean.
