If Paul said man only dies once then why did he raise a man from the dead? Is the guy he raised from the dead still alive, or did he die again? If he died again, that means Paul was lying.
He either raised the guy from the dead and was lying about man only dying once, or him raising the guy from the dead was a lie. Take your pick, either way he was lying.edit on 21-2-2013 by 3NL1GHT3N3D1 because: (no reason given)

Jesus taught death is an illusion ? Where did that one come from?
Joh 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth [pleases], and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so [it] is [with] every one that is born of the Spirit.
Then Jesus didn't tell you that you must believe in the Death and Resurrection to be saved?
What part of Jesus do you pick to believe in . There all or none .
Jesus didn't tell you to breathe but you do .
Paul who was on his way to persecute Christians at the time he was blinded by God was perfectly happy doing so . Then God intervened and pressed Saul now Paul into service and Paul at that time committed put a death warrant on his head literally . I am sure he was not willingly wanting to have the Jews and Christians both on his back .
Make your little remarks about Paul from your armchair . Critique his ministry that only put all of the emphasis on Jesus Christ and following him .Do you not believe that God was with Paul the Jewish / Roman citizen who was the only one to reach out to the Gentile .
To this he said that moses knew him and if they understood moses they would have know him as well and that he came to make good the law....Yahwehs law.
"If you believed Moses you would believe Me; for he wrote about me. But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
Deuteronomy 18:19
'I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. 'And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him."
Now everbody in that dialogue understood what points were being made on both sides. They thought Jesus was insane with this as well as making himself equal with Yahweh. When He said before Abraham was I Am.

From this:
Joh 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth [pleases], and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so [it] is [with] every one that is born of the Spirit.
And what does the piece of scripture have to do with death? You need to go back and read it in the context for which it was intended .
Then Jesus didn't tell you that you must believe in the Death and Resurrection to be saved?
He most certainly did no
What part of Jesus do you pick to believe in . There all or none .
Although I was raised in a fundamental Christian home and church, I do not consider myself to be a Christian. Therefore, I have every right to pick and choose what teachings of Jesus and the Bible I choose to accept or reject.
I reject the mythos of the virgin birth, the death and the resurrection, and the concept that Jesus died for the sins of others. I accept his teachings of love and forgiveness and of spiritual freedom from the "Karmic Wheel."
Jesus didn't tell you to breathe but you do .
The Lord came down and took on flesh . He was Half man and half God .He was literally the Son of God . It stands to logic that if Jesus was not raised up on the 3rd day then he didn't have the Power of God behind him . The Jews wanted to disprove the claim that Jesus would rise on the 3rd day . They are still trying to do that today and destroy Christianity and the Gentile . It would seem they have had some sucess . Visit the Protocols of Zion .
What does that have to do with Paul being a liar and a murderer?
Paul who was on his way to persecute Christians at the time he was blinded by God was perfectly happy doing so . Then God intervened and pressed Saul now Paul into service and Paul at that time committed put a death warrant on his head literally . I am sure he was not willingly wanting to have the Jews and Christians both on his back .
I don't believe Paul's story.
Make your little remarks about Paul from your armchair . Critique his ministry that only put all of the emphasis on Jesus Christ and following him .Do you not believe that God was with Paul the Jewish / Roman citizen who was the only one to reach out to the Gentile .
Nope, I don't believe that GOD was with Paul. Also, I highly doubt that Paul was martyred for his beliefs. I think he was just another casualty of the conflict between the Jews and Romans. I don't they cared, or were threatened at all by his so called ministry.

I think Paul is a jerk. I'm not a Christian though so I don't guess my opinion matters, but PAUL is a real big reason why. Love Jesus, all his words, actions....
But then you get to Paul and I'm like...kak..imposter.
