If you're going to attempt to debate the Scriptures it would probably help to read them a bit.. The Shavouts/Pentecost argument you made was so childishly wrong that no wonder you dropped it and started s commentary on Paul.

Wrong again. The Feast of the Sheaves is Jewish and Pentecost is Christian. Just as the Passover is Jewish and the Eucharist is Christian. I showed that and you had the grace to disappear at that point.

C-Y-C: First of all I don't respond well to commands like “Show me....Show me...”,

Then don't.

You can go to Hebrews where Paul is positively effusive with quotes from God in support of his writings, Chapter 3, 4, and 8 make a good start.

Who says Paul wrote Hebrews? At any rate, pull up direct quotes from God that support specific Pauline Trinitarian verses, if you please.

And now you want someone to find in Paul's writings a creed he doesn't discuss (it was devised long after his death) in a predictable and predicted fashion

Applause!!!!! Very good!!!! What I was looking for. All the Protestants here are shaking with anger that I would dare say such a thing. Now, let me ask you if YOU believe in the Nicene Creed.

The heart of the matter is Paul doesn't support the teachings of the Catholic church therefore he is suspect.

There we have not gotten through yet. Paul is not suspect. He is one of the two greatest Apostles. It is only misinterpretation of his writings that have led so many astray.

I congratulate you very much. You have realized something and posted it.

Wrong again? Yes, you are.

Shavuot is in fact the festival of weeks, that's the meaning of the word. (Deut. 16:9,10) Also called Pentecost because of the the fifty days counted.

“The period from Passover to Shavuot is a time of great anticipation. We count each of the days from the second day of Passover to the day before Shavuot, 49 days or 7 full weeks, hence the name of the festival. See The Counting of the Omer. Shavuot is also sometimes known as Pentecost, because it falls on the 50th day. The counting reminds us of the important connection between Passover and Shavuot: Passover freed us physically from bondage, but the giving of the Torah on Shavuot redeemed us spiritually from our bondage to idolatry and immorality.

Remember now? Who disappeared? Hmm? I don't hear you..

And no, you don't get to ask any more questions or haven't you been paying attention?
