so Paul was trained by Pharisees and he was a learned man. the 12 were trained by Jesus Christ, Son of the Most High, and they were not so learned? im kinda leaning towards Jesus as being a bit better teacher. didnt the Apostles pray to the Most High to reveal the next Apostle. they threw lots...

i dont think Jesus was bringing in something new, IMO Jesus was bringing back the true way which the current way had fallen away from. from a pharisee/zealot point of view it would probably look like something new. there were other sects at the time of Jesus that were already teaching this new...

so Jesus and the 12 were following another gospel? Paul was chosen to be one of the 12? why does Jesus never mention Paul? why do the 12 go off to India, Ethiopia, Bulgaria, Italy and many other Gentile lands

so was Jesus and the 12 following a different gospel being as it was not "the higher" gospel of Paul. you would think all teaching would sync together rather than deviate. if Paul was hand picked by Jesus is it not strange that Jesus would never mention this?

and of all those, why are their works not listed in the bible as scripture? the 11 and Paul? im not sure Paul was one of the 12. your aware he did not meet the credentials listed in acts 1? but lets entertain the idea what is Paul was one of the 12. if he was based on these credentials this...

what about everyone else that had an experience with the spirit just the same as Paul? where are their teachings? "other apostles" would this be the 12 Apostles that walked, talked, lived and trained by the living Jesus, the ones Jesus Himself personally chose to be within His inner circle? but...

i always thought it strange that the Vatican and DC both have egyptian obelisks. the one in the vatican actually sits in the womb of isis which symbolizes the return of osiris. anyone ever researched the hebrew name of Jesus. the letters can be translated as- the Hand that Destroys the...

i like the ESV as it relies more on the DSS. when i first started studying many years back i learned with a NIV and i thought it was perfect for that time.

Jesus teaches ask, seek, knock and you will be lead right where you need to be. i think we should put our faith in that teaching and not what bible version we have.

what makes a sect legitmate? a church council? didnt these same councils order crusades, burn women and children alive. so once a person dies they DO NOT COME BACK yet Lazarus CAME BACK. an accredited person is better than the spirit of truth? did they not know their own scripture? Ezekiel...

i never intended to imply reincarnation was a Catholic doctrine. when i say rome im referring to the roman empire and their influence on the Christian faith. few if any of the mainstream denominations. Lazarus was brought back. Paul also teaches on a 2nd death, so which is it, one or two...

i was going to mention this but you beat me to it. i have looked into the reincarnation belief. from my research, today only Jewish and Christian mystics still accept it. in the days of Jesus and the 12 the Essenes were teaching it. i also read it was rome that started phasing it out for...

another thought on preexistence. in the days of Jesus and the 12 all the Jewish sects, with exception to the Sadducees, believed in preexistence. the Sadducees are an odd bunch that seemed to only believe in the physical, what they could put their hands on.

could be. in the Hebrew bible, if i remember correctly, the spirit that was always on people, like Elijah, means breath. IMO they are both just the same in the sense they are power of the Most High. but they do different things. the ancients thought of the two as much more deep and complex.

and this breath from the Most High, it was non existent until it was breathed into us?

haha rome and the pharisees were experts at coming up with all their heresies.

it shows the Most High knew us and not an idea of us before we were born. do you have a scripture that teaqches our soul never existed before birth?

Ecclesiastes 12:7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

IMO our soul goes back to the Most High where it came from, where the soul pre existed before we were born into this world. there seems to be many taking a second look at the early teachers like origen, i dont care if the church called him a heretic, they also called the Nazarenes heretics.

i always believed the other sheep where places that have rich traditions of Jesus teaching there such as Briton, Americas and India. i always liked the stories of briton and the missionaries that went there at the end of the dark ages, they documented that many of the britons where already...
