  • shut up u 4 eyes

  • Fallen Angels, Atlantis, and royalty connects one to the Merovingians. NWO, UFO's and other mythology are needed to see the truths. Bloodlines are key to see what's transpiring now. Research Phoenicia, etc to see keys. This is why God condemns their race.

  • so the people who "follow" yokeup denies Paul?

  • Well apparrently he was blocked by Jeff and Mark for some unknown reason. This may be for 2222554's views on Paul or for another matter entirely. They blocked him around December or January sometime.

  • Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned. (Titue 3:10-11)

    I have hereby blocked 2222554 AGAIN until he comes to his senses.

    I truly hope that the rest of you can clearly see and understand the tenuous position that he has placed himself by rejecting Paul's Apostleship.

    If anyone has any influence over this man please show him the error of his ways.

  • Then I ask you why Apollonius sits to the left and Paul to the right, of Christ as almost mirror images of Christ with all those similarities?

    Could it be so as to appear like Christ on all fronts? Could it be Apollonius evil scheme did not work therefore Paul went in to finish the job?

  • some people do question paul's position, what i have read i think paul makes some very good spiritual teachings.

  • @2222554

    I am going to be frank, You need to rebuke that Spirit of confusion in the name of Jesus. I was attacked the same way you are. Reject that nonsense brother. Put your big boy pants on and understand that there is a spiritual battle happening in this world and you are a prime target. Satan has been keeping people questioning God since the garden of Eden dude. Don't fall for it. Love u brother.

  • What are the odds that the two lives of Apollonius & Paul would be so similar, if not the same? Why are they recorded at the same place twice? Why are their names the same Bud? You nor anyone can convince me otherwise that the two are the same individual.

  • Don't forget to add to that list of similarities that both were in Tarsus, so thats three places they were together at the same time. Not to mention that they both were alive at the same time...

  • Apollonius

    Raised in Tarsus, Religiously precocious as a child, Had a disciple named Damis from Asia Minor, Had an associate named Titus, Associated with a Demetrius, Associated with a Stephanus, Influenced by Plato, Renounced wealth, Followed abstinence and asceticism, Wore long hair and robes, Was unmarried and childless, Went to Jerusalem, Spent much time at Antioch, Made missionary journeys around Mediterranean,

  • Apollonius (cont.)

    Traveled to the East for three years, where he was taught by sages, Wrote epistles instructing followers in spirituality, Fought wild beasts at Ephesus, Performed miracles, Healed the sick, Cast out evil spirits, Famed far and wide, Religious reformer, Spoke authoritatively to temple priests, Worshipped as a god, Had his life threatened, Condemned by Roman emperor, Imprisoned at Rome, Miraculously escaped prison, Was shipwrecked

  • Paul

    Raised in Tarsus, Religiously precocious as a child, Had a disciple named Demas from Asia Minor, Had an associate named Titus, Associated with a Demetrius,

    Associated with a Stephanus, Influenced by Philo/Plato,

  • Paul (cont.)

    Embraced poverty, Followed abstinence and asceticism, Wore long hair and robes, Was unmarried and childless, Went to Jerusalem, Spent much time at Antioch, Made missionary journeys around Mediterranean, Traveled to the East for three years, where he was taught by Jesus, Wrote epistles instructing followers in spirituality,

  • Paul (cont.)

    Fought wild beasts at Ephesus, Performed miracles, Healed the sick, Cast out demons, Well known in Christian communities around the Mediterranean/famed far & wide, Religious reformer, Spoke authoritatively to temple priests, Worshipped as a god/Mistaken for a god, Had his life threatened, Condemned by Roman emperor, Imprisoned at Jerusalem and Rome, Miraculously escaped prison, Was shipwrecked

  • Not only are the journeys of Paul and Apollonius very similar, their names are as well.

    While Paul is "Paulos" in Greek, Thayer's Lexicon states that "Apollos" is, according to some ancient authorities, contracted from "Apollonios." Interestingly, "Apollos" is mentioned in five places in Paul's 1st Epistle to the Corinthians, in such a way - juxtapositioned with the names of Paul, "Cephas" and Christ; Paul and Christ; or Paul alone - as to attribute great significance to him.

  • (cont.)

    It has further been asserted that this contraction of the name Apollonius, Apollos, was found uncontracted in the Codex Bezae of the New Testament. Moreover, the name "Apollonius," it has been evinced, was also abbreviated in ancient times as "Pol."

  • (cont.)

    It has further been asserted that the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews was not "Paulos" but "Apollos," an interesting claim in consideration of the fact that Hebrews is written in "Hebraistic Greek" and that Apollonius was said to be a native speaker of the Hebraistic language of Aramaic.

  • (cont.)

    Oddly, Hebrews was one of the three epistles that were missing in the first New Testament compiled by Marcion. Furthermore, there are various "Pauline" writings that appeared after the alleged death of Paul, during the period when Apollonius was said to be still alive.

  • {Catholic Authorities claim that Apollonius of Alexandria is the Apollos of the New Testament}

  • And? What does that have to do with Appolonius of TYANA?

    Again, people have similar names, dude.

    John the Apostle vs John the Baptist,

    James brother of John (Apostle), James brother of Jesus Christ, James son of Alphaeus (Another Apostle).

    Judas Iscariot and Judas (Jude) brother of Jesus Christ.

    Different people all with the same names.

  • @BudManInChrist Jesus is close to Hesus are they the same name Bud?

  • Of course not but that is basically claiming about Paul/Apollos/Apollonious. See how rediculious that is?

  • Do you realize that Appolonius of Tyana actually comes AFTER Paul and that his life story was written in the THIRD CENTURY - long after Paul's letters?? And that Tyana is not Tarsus? And that Apollonius was one of the most common names in the Greco-Roman world?? Clueless...totally clueless.

  • Budman hes a NUT! Just ignore him and move on!

  • I'm inclined to agree with you but if he is a Christian (albeit a sorely deceived one) then Jesus Christ died for his sins and anyone bought by the Blood of Jesus is precious in God's sight. The attempt has to be made.

    However, if he persists in his contradictions I will wash my hands of him.

  • Acts 18:23-24

    23 And after he (Paul) had spent some time [there], he departed, and went over [all] the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

    Me: And NONE of you supposed wise Christians see that it is very odd that in 23 Paul leaves and in 24 Apollo shows up? Hmmmmm.....

    24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, [and] mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

  • Not much later, not even a little bit later... But IMMEDIATELY after Pol/Paul leaves Pol/Apollo shows up... Just like the bible reads folks... Yet none of you see that as being odd in the least sort of way?

    23 to 24 one verse... And that does not look suspicious to you all?

  • @2222554

    You do know that Paul was born in TARSUS, right? Appolonius of Tyana was born in Tyana, in Cappodocia, Asia Minor (Turkey).

    Plus why are you referencing scripture that was written by an obvious companion of Paul? Acts was written by Luke who obviously traveled by Paul.

    Can't you see the trap that you have placed yourself in??? If Paul was false then MOST OF THE NEW TESTAMENT IS FALSE AS WELL.

    You're better off dropping your suspicians of Paul than dumping 2/3rds of the NT.

  • @BudManInChrist

    Apollonius was born in the city of Tyana, in the Roman province of Cappadocia, in present day Turkey. And supposedly at the age of twelve Apollonius went to Tarsus and was educated there...

  • And? Does this IN ANW WAY prove that this was Paul?

    Apollonius of Tyana was a pagan, Paul was a jew. That's oil and water dude.

  • Let me ask you a question Bud... Why do you think that Paul was the 12th Apostle when Matthias was the one who replaced Judas? How can we have two 12th Apostles? Especially when Matthias was named as the 12th Apostle and Paul claimed to be the 12th Apostle with out any others naming him as such? Matthias walked with Christ, Paul did not. That should speak volumes.

  • Easy answer:

    I don't believe that Paul is the 12th Apostle. Paul was never named as one of the 12. The 2 of the 12 that I mention that you discredit with your denunciation of Paul is Peter and Matthew.

    Also, Paul NEVER claimed to be the 12th Apostle. You do know that there were more than 12 Apostles right? I hope that you know that.

    Paul was the Apostle to the Gentiles. Barnabus was an Apostle as well (Acts 14:14).

    Again, scripture, which you deny, affirms that Paul was an Apostle.

  • @BudManInChrist

    Saint Paul claimed the role of Apostle to the Gentiles and, assuming Peter's role, became Apostle to the Jews (see also Circumcision controversy in early Christianity, Incident at Antioch, and Primacy of Simon Peter). He claimed a special commission from the risen Jesus, separate from the Great Commission given to the Twelve.

    Me: So Paul ASSUMES Peter's position, what after he was dead. Paul claims to be an Apostle after Christ's death. Seems Paul waits till people die....

  • You really are DELUDED. Paul was martyred BEFORE Peter. My goodness! You cannot possibly be THIS clueless can you?

    Paul was ALREADY DEAD when Peter wrote 2nd Peter.

  • I shared this video with all my friends Bud... That way, you'll get some more views for this very lame video which has no proof in it, but mere assumptions of my beliefs...

    Just trying to help your view count Bud...

  • Thank you, I appreciate that. That way they can see just how deluded you actually are. Repent and get some help, man.

  • @BudManInChrist Another thing Bud, why does Sol mean Saul? Why does Pol mean aPOLlo? You cannot deny the ancient meanings and connections of Paul to Pol. The Hebrew language even acknowledges this. But you can't...

  • @BudManInChrist I'm the deluded one huh... I will remain unconvinced until you or someone can show me a bible verse that shows Pol/Paul and Pol/APOLlo are in the same place at the same time, showing that they are two separate individuals. You got nothing and you know it.

  • Do I actually need to show that when SCRIPTURE clearly shows Paul and Apollos as two different people?

  • Now I am done commenting here on these videos Bud until you address the biblical verses from Corinthians, which PAUL wrote btw, from the Codex Bezae...

    Good luck on your head hunting expedition Bud...

  • Can you PROVE that that is the origional document which Paul wrote? Can you PROVE that, even if true, that Apollos/Apollonious is the same man as Apollonious of Tyana?

    And how would that prove that Apollos/Apollonious is PAUL?

    The burden of proof is on YOU. Make a video. Let us see your insight. PROVE me wrong.

  • @BudManInChrist I don't waste my time making vids for the likes of you Bud. Your small mindedness just does not make it worth my valuable time. Like you would actually learn from it? NOPE... You'd just look for a way to critic it because you are so heavily brainwashed on the matter of supposed sAINT Paul...

  • How can you reference Scripture written by Paul as of God when you say that Paul was a deceiver and a false Apostle? How do you support Luke who traveled with Paul? How do you support Mark who traveled with Paul as well? How about Peter who backed Paul's ministry (This AFTER Paul was MARTYRED for Jesus Christ)?

    WAKE UP! You have no leg to stand on if Paul was a false apostle. Your faith would be vain!

  • @BudManInChrist What you don't know is that Peter did not support paul of his own will, but by order of God Himself to peter. So again, your not seeing the full picture I was shown.

  • So why would God force Peter to support Paul, a deceiver and false Apostle, as you claim?

    Again, you clearly don't know what you are talking about.

    God is not a liar (1 Sam 15:29, Titus 1:2, Heb 6:18). Nor does He support liars.

    I'm done with you now. Consider yourself reblocked until you can see the error of your ways and repent of this nonsense!

  • Firstly I am not with the Yokeup crowd.

    Als where is this statement that I have power that as you say, "I don't have"?

    Secondly, in this video, you did not talk about that 'biblical proof' that you wanted, concerning the ancient version of 1st Corinthians found in a French monastery by a Huguenot soldier entitled the Codex Bezae. And that the name Apollos is spelt Apollonius in that ancient version.

    You wanted biblical proof and I brought it. Yet you did not mention it...

  • @2222554

    First of all I only have your word that such a document exists.

    Secondly even if it did exist it would prove nothing as there are many, many copies of 1st Corinthians and they all say otherwise. How do you know that that version is not the corrupted one?

    Third, even if the name was right all that would show was that Apollos and Apollonius had the same name.

    It's like saying that John the Baptist and the Apostle John were the same man.

    Your "proof" proves nothing.

  • @BudManInChrist

    He (Paul) came to Ephesus] Where it appears he spent but one Sabbath. It is supposed that Paul left Aquila and Priscilla at this place, and that he went on alone to Jerusalem; for it is certain they were at Ephesus when Apollos arrived there. See ver. 24, 26.

    In other words Bud, until you, or anyone can show me a bible verse where Paul and Apollo are in the same place at the same time, as two separate persons, they appear to be the same person.

  • Again, why are you even referencing Acts since Luke, a companion of Paul, wrote Acts? And you are trying to use a book written by a man who knew both Paul and Apollos and CLEARLY shows them to be two different people.

    If Priscilla and Aquila met both Paul and Apollos they certainly would have known the difference between the two. The book of Acts CLEARLY shows that they DID distinguish between the two.

    Paul WAS NOT Apollos.

  • Newman points out, Apollonius and Paul were also at Ephesus and Rome at at exactly the same time.

    Hmmmmm....

  • He has been blocked on our channels for a while, go ahead with your rebuke, it is needed for his error, but don't lump him into my circle, he speaks on his own behalf

  • Fair enough. Does the blocking have anything to do with the content of this video at all? Feel free to PM me if you like.

  • @YahwehOrNoWay1 You will see in the end Brian that you should not throw stones at someone that you do not understand, because your brain has not matured enough yet. But you will see the error of your ways in the end. That will be good enough retribution for me...

  • lol, What end?...I have been given the gift of life everlasting, I have no personal beef with you, whatever you think I did to you, you need to stop, take a deep breath and re-look at the situation...

  • Stop using the word Yokimite, I take serious offense to that....it is anti-Semitic in nature, would you call Javid a N***** or George a K***?

  • @YahwehOrNoWay1

    Anti-Semetic? You must be joking, lol.

  • @YahwehOrNoWay1

    You need to help this guy Brian. I'm not kidding. This has to do with the very Word of God itself.
