The Lies and Heresy of Paul of Tarsus

How can we Know that Torah is the Pattern to Measure Anyone or Anything,
and the Perfect Rule to Live by?

Thirty-five centuries ago, a portion of Torah was spoken — very loudly and in the midst of a supernatural display of Fire, Cloud, Trumpets and Thunders at Sinai — by Elohim Himself on the very first Shavuot, which Christians call by the Hellenized word "Pentecost". That unique Event in History took place in front of the entire multitude of Israel, which had left Egypt 50 days before (see Exodus 19:16 to 20:21). To this day some effects of that extremely shocking experience have not escaped the collective consciousness of the Jewish people. That is partly why after 3,500 years we are still Israel, and we have not lost our national identity despite of so many attempts against it.

Moses, who was the writer of Torah, was publicly called by his own name by Elohim, thus giving him great credence in front of all the astonished witnesses of that moment. That day he walked into the fiery cloud in the sight of the whole congregation of Israel, thus proving that he was called to be an intermediary between man and Elohim in his days, although he had no such lofty aspiration. But, as we saw, he was a human elohim, a set-apart ruler and judge of his Set-Apart Nation.

When he went up the mountain, he had a very close encounter with Elohim, or One who represented Him. In that encounter he received the Ten Commandments. Later on he was commanded to build a Tabernacle that would house the Ark of the Covenant. The Purpose of this Ark was to hold inside the Two Tablets inscribed with those Commandments. All the accurate details for these things to be built demonstrate how important these Commands ARE. When, at the end of his life Moses, he finished writing the Five Books of Torah, they were attached to the sides of the Ark, but not deposited inside of it together with the Two Tablets, thus demonstrating that there was a difference in Value and Inspiration. The Tablets inside the Ark were a copy of the ones that had been written by the very Finger of Elohim direct Authorship — while the Five Books had been written by Moses, a man-elohim, by means of Divine Inspiration.

Other books were later on added to Tanakh, but they never were attached to the Ark — not even put close to it! Many of these ARE very important, educational, emotionally and spiritually challenging as well as stimulating stories of the Jewish people. And in them there are many Inspired Messages the Almighty wants us to consider in order to ameliorate our lives and have a better relationship with Him. For example, the Prophecies given by the Almighty to special men called Nevi'im — Seers, Hearers or Prophets — although extremely important, even vital, they never can compete with the Inspiration of the Five Books of Moses, much less with the Ten Commandments.

What this evidently tells us is that there is a varying scale of Inspiration, Worth and Importance all over Tanakh. It is not the same Inspiration from "cover to cover," as Christians claim concerning all the books in the Christian "Bible", which includes Tanakh plus the so-called "New Testament."

This is not the right article to deal with the assumed "inspiration", or lack thereof, of the New Testament. But suffice it to say that the many proven and suspected interpolations (additions) and possible subtractions from the NT originals, as well as the foul and lousy manner in which it was canonized by the highly politicized Catholic curia, leaves no room — in the best of cases — to compare it to Torah.

[ Maybe one day I will write a necessarily long and detailed article on the frauds in the "New Testament". Having said that, I do not think that everything written in the Gospels for example is a complete collection of falsehoods, although there are some in them. Of course, all the books of Paul, Hebrews, 2nd Peter, as well as 2nd and 3rd John, whether are filled with historical lies, anti-Torah bias, and some of them are even mere falsifications and deceiving pseudepigraphical works of fictional theology. Yes, I know that it is a really big and hard pill to swallow — I almost literally choked when I found out that all that is true. Please, make you own honest research on this important matter. I do not want you to loose your faith; I just want you to refine it by casting out all the evil deceptions of ancient wolves in nice-looking sheep's clothing. ]

Because of all this, and even more, Torah remains as the sure Pattern after which we are to measure everything and everyone.

Was Paul As Torah-Centered as Messianics Love to Say?

Did Paul of Tarsus truly speak according to Torah and the Testimony? Or did he constantly tried and twisted, denied and therefore destroyed them, as constantly and intensely as he could? Why cannot his words be taken directly, at face value? Certainly we can do so with the words of YHWH, the Prophets and even Yeshua and his true disciples ... but not with Paul. Why is it not difficult to understand the first ones, but when it comes to Paul's statements it is always not only confusing but outright contradictory? Why for Paulinists Paul never meant what he said, and he never said what they think he "really meant"? Again, why is it that, with few exceptional cases, everything that Paul said needs to be "clarified" or "interpreted for the masses" (i.e. explained away) by giving to it a different meaning which always is far removed from its direct literary implication? Why most of the times this interpretation is the exact or close opposite of what he wrote? In other words, why do Paul's words need to be recycled, processed and recreated in order to remove from them the direct evil anti-Torah meaning which they clearly convey and to impart to them a meaning they do not have?

I know that the above paragraph contains just one repeated question. I did on purpose because Christians never inquire it from themselves or from others; and its challenging but meaningful substance needs to slowly sink into their minds and hearts, so as to break the thick stronghold of deception that fear and tradition have created in them. Ask yourself this question: is there not enough theological honesty in Christian circles as to require whatever happened with sound Hermeneutics when it comes to Paul of Tarsus? Obviously, all this hermeneutic juggling performed by Christian theologians around Paul is performed in order to satisfy the Paulinist necessity to artificially conjugate his anti-Torah words with Torah and the Testimony, so as to make him appear a "kosher prophet". Now, think about this for a moment, why are Paul's declarations the ones that always have created confusions, misunderstandings and strife even among his own followers? Is the Almighty the author of confusion, by any chance? And if He is not, then who is? Where did his prophecies come from? Who, then, did Paul truly serve?

The Torah and the Testimony of the Jewish Prophets, as referred above, are found in Tanakh, which Christians ignorantly belittle by calling it the "Old Testament", and not in the also wrongly-called "New Testament." There is no prophecy or indication in Tanakh — nor in the words of Yeshua either — stating any equivalency between the Catholic-sanctioned writings known as the "New Testament" and the writings of Tanakh — much less of Torah.

Loving the Almighty Intelligently, not Fanatically

The fact of the matter is that we are to love HaShem with much more than with the sincere, but sometimes misguided, effort of our will and emotions; we are to love Him also with the full and honest exercise of our minds. Pay attention to the very first of the Ten Mitzvot:

Deuteronomy 6:5
"You shall love YHWH your Elohim with all your heart emotions, feelings and with all your soul awareness, cognition, intelligence, mind, "control center", life and with all your strength will."

The living soul is the junction area where our mind, will and emotions connect. The reason why the Hebrew word 'nephesh' is sometimes translated as 'mind' in this verse is not entirely wrong, although it is inaccurate for being restrictive in its meaning. I would return to you the advice you gave me in reference to get acquainted with the Jewish Scriptures, or study them more from a Hebraic point of view. But, mind you, study them honestly, without any preconceived opinions and without any doctrine to validate — may it be a doctrine of a person ... not even the very Existence and Character of YHWH and/or Yeshua. Make a true effort to let the Scriptures say whatever they truly say — not what you were taught they say, nor what you would like for them to say. If you really want to get truth in a much deeper way, put yourself to learn the original languages, not two or three buzz words taken from Strong's Concordance (which, by the way, has a 'strong' bias for Christian meanings). If you do that, then you will be surprised out of your mind about the new and different world that will open up right in front of you. (Remember that Elohim commanded to 'repeat' the words of Torah, not to 'translate' them — something that for some dark reason has completely escaped the grasp of all Christian theologians). Do not be afraid and read books on theology and history that will challenge your doctrines, even your Faith, because if it is real it will stand the test — although in the midst of temporary fear and pain. Only after all that your Faith shall come out not only greatly strengthened, but also highly refined (purified from deceptive pollutions that limit you from living according to how the Almighty wants you to do it, and that also limit your true Freedom). Because of that, you will also come out less judgmental and self-righteous; that way you will be more tolerant toward others whom you do not understand or agree with, thus loving them in a truer sense and in a much more effective way for the Kingdom of Heaven in this world.

Salvation or Redemption?

Shocking and even outraging as it may sound, although important 'Salvation' is not the most crucial thing in human life — something without which we should certainly end up in Hell — Redemption is. Without a doubt, there is an infinite difference between 'being saved' and 'being redeemed'. As a matter of fact, what Christians call 'Salvation' is approximately what HaShem, and the Jewish people, call 'Redemption'. Then what is salvation? Well it is not what Christians think it is, since they do not understand neither the concept of Redemption nor salvation. But, before explaining all this, allow me to introduce one more challenging point: neither salvation nor Redemption are, as Christian think, achieved by the acceptance and belief of any "sound" doctrinal knowledge. There is no such thing as Redemption or salvation through faith, as Paul wickedly taught his Torah-ignorant followers. As a matter of fact, this is Paul's main empty but contentious doctrine upon which was built the whole edifice of Christian theology.

Ephesians 2:8
⁸ For by Grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of Theos [ The Greek word "theos" is related to Zeus and is also applicable to the other "gods" of the Olympus. Applying this heathen-laden word to HaShem is in itself an abomination of Paul ].

Romans 11:6
⁶ But if it [ Redemption or salvation ] is by grace [ Paul dismissed the Jewish meaning of the Grace of HaShem in favor of a spurious concept devoid of Divine Justice which he unilaterally concocted ], it is no longer on the basis of works [ a seemingly plausible but scripturally false conclusion ], otherwise grace is no longer grace! [ a good example of Gnostic Paul deceiving his readers by using Greek dialectics applied to the world of the spirit ].

Redemption brings a connotation which seems to be slightly different, but that in reality is fundamentally dissimilar. There is not one true mitzvah — but the fabricated ones by Paul — that requires such a thing as believing in any doctrinal issue. Surprisingly enough YHWH never said such a thing as, "You shall believe this or that" nor "You shall not believe that or this." Think about it, did Elohim answer any of the many natural and doctrinal questions he had asked Job when the good man was unable to answer them? No! On the other hand, if you believe in Yeshua you should consider that he never got into any theological discussions that was not connected with human behavior. Observe that although some people tried to engage Yeshua on such matters, he never discussed them; he was concerned with the practical (i.e. workable, doable, obeisant) aspects of life. He would say things like these:

1. "The Kingdom of HaShem is like this and like that; learn to live according to its Rules if you want to be found worthy to live in it ... or else."

[ Matthew 7:12-23, 19:24 and 22:1-14, John 3:3, Luke 13:18-30, etc ]
2. "The Will of HaShem is expressed in Torah, most of all the Ten Commandments; so do them and you will live."

[ Matthew 19:17, Luke 10:26-28, Mark 12:28-34 ]
3. "I come from Heaven and personally know HaShem's Will; so, trust what I have taught you about it and you will live by taking heed of it."

[ John 7:29, 8:14, 10:36, 14:10, 16:28, etc ]
4. "Blessed are those who wholeheartedly obey the Will of HaShem."

[ Matthew 5:1-16, etc ]
5. "This is what you are to do to live a good and acceptable life in the eyes of HaShem."

[ Matthew 5:17 to 7:29, etc ]
6. "This is what you are not to do if you do not want to get into a sinful and dooming quarrel with HaShem"

[ Matthew 5:17-20, 21:31, etc ]
7. "This is what is written in Torah; its deeper meaning is this and that."

[ Matthew 5:21-48, etc ]
8. "Do not pay attention to any fabrications of men who want to change Torah; only do the Will of HaShem, not of man."

[ Matthew 23:2-35, etc ]
9. "The children of Israel are the only elected people of HaShem; so I have nothing to do with Gentiles, although I care for the righteous ones; so, teach also these things to them for their own benefit."

[ Matthew 10:5-6, 15:22-28, etc ]
10. "These things are going to happen in the future; therefore, be prepared for them by staying obediently alert."

[ Matthew 24 and 25 ]

Plain and simple, these 10 points constitute the core of what Yeshua taught in his days; you may call it the Gospel if so you wish. Like the other prophets before him, Yeshua's teaching pivoted around HaShem and Torah. And he did not want to draw people's attention, much less worship toward himself. But Paul, had as the focal points of his deviating teaching setting the worship on Yeshua and the attention on himself, thus subtly and "acceptably" erasing HaShem from the mind of his followers — such is the work of HaSatan!

Think about it: do the main 10 points from Yeshua set above remind you of Paul of Tarsus? Certainly not. Paul's message was something entirely different. Paul of Tarsus had a new and mostly contrary message in regard to Yeshua's! Evidently Paul's new heretic message is from a totally different source, since from a spring does not flow sweet and bitter waters at the same time, does it? Once you take the books of Paul and his followers out from the "Bible", the Scriptures have no more theological "inconsistencies" and "contradictions." How interesting indeed!

Undoubtedly, for HaShem, as well as for Yeshua, what really counts is our practically-applied undivided trust on the Character of Highest One, blessed be His Sacred Name. He clearly demands and expects that we believe, accept, and obey His Torah for a spiritually, emotionally and socially healthier life, which will be conducive to a good relationship with Him. The true teachings of Yeshua testified and corroborated just that. For HaShem, as well as for all his prophets including Yeshua, what is important is a healthy human behavior and not a mere doctrinal belief. They never said that we commit a sin when we are wrong about any theological point, or that we are in a bad relationship with the Almighty when we are wrong about any truth of Him. Do you want to talk about freedom? Well, here it is freedom: we are not commanded to be theologically correct. We are free to be doctrinally wrong! Instead, what we are clearly required is to conduct normal, functional, nurturing and humble lives, because we should and can be good stewards of the Creation that HaShem gave us to live, love, work and reproduce in it.

Interestingly enough, all the above is the exact opposite to the philosophically drenched teachings of Paul — teachings where tolerance, human normalcy, care for the body, marriage, obeying Torah, etc, are debased in favor of Gnostic intellectualism. Therefore, I do not need to repent from my viewpoints — as the originator of this essay demanded while screaming "REPENT of this deception" about Paul. To be theologically wrong is no so terrible a problem, because IF I am wrong I am not transgressing Torah — not even the teachings of Yeshua — since it is just a mistake, not a sin! Again mistakes are misunderstandings, they are not sins. Of course if the misunderstanding takes us to wrong attitudes and misbehavior, then it can produce sin; but the sin is not in the wrong idea is in the acting upon it. That is why the anti-Torah teachings of Paul, when accepted, can lead a Person into rebellion against Torah and therefore away from HaShem. Now, that is sinful. So, having said that, I think that it is the ignorant author of the insultingly self-righteous note who needs to consider his ways and repent from his arrogant behavior and the sin of acting in an intolerantly judgmental way — just like the hypocrites with whom Yeshua struggled.

As for me, all we need to know was always clearly stated by Adonai in Torah, declared by his Prophets and finally explained by Yeshua.
