RE: also having nothing good to say about the Apostles chosen by Jesus.
The 8th Chapter of the book of ACTS states thusly,
26 When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus. 28 So Saul stayed with them and moved about freely in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. 29 He talked and debated with the Hellenistic Jews, but they tried to kill him. 30 When the believers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
31 Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace and was strengthened.
So, if Paul was a fake Christian, why would he be commissioned by the believers to Tarsus?
Then there was the Council in Jerusalem that Paul and his Ministry partner, Barnabas attended ( See Acts 15 ).
Peter and all the other Christian Elders were there. They LISTENED attentively to Paul and Barnabas’s testimony about their missionary journey and in the end, it says:
22 Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to choose some of their own men and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas ( Acts 15:22 ).
Why would they do that if Paul was not accepted?
Let’s not forget, Peter, one of the LEADERS of the apostles wrote endearingly about Paul and ENDORSED his letters and compared them to the other scripture (see 2 Peter 3:14-16)
If Paul had nothing good to say about the other apostles, why would Peter endorse Paul?
Source?
If Paul had nothing good to say about the other apostles, why would Peter endorse Paul?>>>>>
Very simple, Peter and the other apostles spent over 3 years with Jesus, he taught them very well, two things he taught them were to be humble and to not exalt them selves.
They were taught to turn the other cheek.
In Paul`s case they would never have tried to make him feel bad even though he was claiming to be an apostle when not among them, plus they knew that it was God running things and not them.
Mark 9:39
Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
So, if Paul was a fake Christian, why would he be commissioned by the believers to Tarsus?
I don`t believe I said he was a fake Christian, I said he makes a lot of sense but he does exalt himself a lot.
I would not spend five minutes in a church where the preacher talked about himself as much as Paul does.
