So, by your bizarre interpretation of Scripture, Saint Stephen (the FIRST Christian martyr) and Saint James (brother of Saint John and one of three to witness the Transfiguration) WERE NOT Christians because they were both martyred before Saint Paul wrote any of his epistles.

Well it's far bigger than just Paul...Luke's account in Acts must be just as illegitimate as Paul's epistles...

Act 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Apparently then, Luke lied...

Mat 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
Mat 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel
.

Well pity for you...Salvation wasn't offered to you...It was only offered to Jews...Your church is illegitimate as well...

Joh 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

What's really funny is that you don't know for sure whether Jesus said any of that stuff that is printed in red ink...All you know for sure is that the authors of those books make the claim that Jesus said those things...

Luke writes what he says Jesus said, before the resurrection...Paul writes what he claims Jesus said, after the resurrection...Don't you guys ever think these things thru, or you just blindly accept what your religion tells you???

As far as your theory about Matthew 10:50, the Lord's command after His Resurrection to go to ALL nations, renders it moot.

What's really funny is that you don't know for sure whether Jesus said any of that stuff that is printed in red ink...All you know for sure is that the authors of those books make the claim that Jesus said those things...

Luke writes what he says Jesus said, before the resurrection...Paul writes what he claims Jesus said, after the resurrection...Don't you guys ever think these things thru, or you just blindly accept what your religion tells you???

So, now you are saying that the Gospels are lies?

You don't know for sure if Paul wrote what it attributed to him.

Fortunately, WE have the authority of the Church and its tradition. You have, at best, the theories of a 16th century cleric.
