The Apostle Paul

[Buzzards]

when starting the thread "The Parables of Christ" I posted

 

well; we hope to prove 4 things; 5 if we have time
#3: The Eighth (8th) Church is Colossians - those that are ""AT Colosse:""

exceedingly large. enormous and immense both suggest an exceeding of all ordinary bounds in size or amount or degree,
but enormous often adds an implication of abnormality or monstrousness

the Monstrosity spoken of by John, but the other flip side of that coin is Great, Grand, Glorious, without fault, undefined

#4; and why the Sabbath and the feast Days were not; even an issue till Col. 2:17

and why no other epistle in the NT even touches on the 7th Day except Paul's letter to the Colossians
 

Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven
is like unto a man ...........

we hope to prove that Man was Paul

[Buzzards]

So; Who was this Apostle Paul ????
this --- Know it All --- Pharisee

Gen. 24 :1
And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age:
and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.

2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house,
that ruled over all that he had,
Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

3 And I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth,
that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites,
among whom I dwell:

4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred,
and take a wife unto my son Isaac.

5 And the servant said unto him,
Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land
must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?

6 And Abraham said unto him,
Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.

7 The Lord God of heaven,
which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred,
and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying,
Unto thy seed will I give this land;
he shall send his angel before thee,
and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.

8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee,
then thou shalt be clear from this my oath:
only bring not my son thither again.

9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master,
and sware to him concerning that matter.

10 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed;
for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose,
and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.

But; Abraham;
what if the chosen Bride won't come ???

in the words of this Ole Babblin Fool
Abraham replies:
then you are free;
to take a wife for my son from
the daughters of the peoples among whom we dwell

Abraham said
8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee,
then thou shalt be clear from this my oath:
only bring not my son thither again.

Paul; Hey Paul
Yes Lord
Go get a Bride for my son
But Lord;
what if the chosen Bride won't come
then you are free;
to take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Gentiles

2 Cor.11:1
Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly:
and indeed bear with me.

2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy:
for I have espoused you to one husband,
that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Maybe that helps to Explain, why the Gospel of Paul,
at 1st glance, seems to a different Gospel than the Apostles

Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven
is like unto a man ...........

we hope to prove that Man was Paul

[Buzzards]

Lk.16:19
There was a certain rich man,
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus

and the Rich Man says to Father Abraham

I pray thee therefore, father,
that thou wouldest send him (Lazarus) to my father's house:

For I have five (5) brethren; that he may testify unto them,
lest they also come into this place of torment.

Abraham saith unto him,

They have Moses and the prophets;
let them hear them.

------ Question ------
Who was / is the Rich Man ????
Who were / are the 5 Brethren ????

Now as SDA's; you know Lazarus isn't in Heaven ---- yet,
nor is the Rich Man in Hell (place of Torment) --- Yet
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++

Rev.3:14
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;
..
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods,
and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched,
and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked

 

Abraham saith unto him,

They have Moses and the prophets;
let them hear them.

have need of nothing; and knowest not --------------------

maybe the SDA's should listen to Abraham
just thought I would throw that in there for GP
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++

Abraham saith unto him,

They have Moses and the prophets;
let them hear them.

so we will be going to Moses and the Prophets

Gen. 35:1
And God said unto Jacob,

Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there:
and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee
when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

2 Then Jacob said unto his household,
and to all that were with him,

Put away the strange gods that are among you,
and be clean, and change your garments:

And let us arise, and go up to Bethel;
and I will make there an altar unto God,
who answered me in the day of my distress,
and was with me in the way which I went.

4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand,
and all their earrings which were in their ears;
and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++
Lets go back 1 ch. to this incident
as SDA's you should know the story

Gen.34:1
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob,
went out to see the daughters of the land.

And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite,
prince of the country, saw her,
he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.

(don't let your wives nor your daughters socialize with the daughters of the Heathen;
lest they become just like them)

30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi,
Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land,
among the Canaanites and the Perizzites:
and I being few in number,
they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me;
and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.

31 And they said,

Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++

 

And they journeyed:
and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them,
and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel,
he and all the people that were with him.

And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel:
because there God appeared unto him,
when he fled from the face of his brother.

But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died,
and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak:
and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.

And God appeared unto Jacob again,
when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.

10 And God said unto him,
Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob,
but Israel shall be thy name:

and he called his name Israel.
And God said unto him,

I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply;
a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee,
and kings shall come out of thy loins;

And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac,
to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.

And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.

And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him,
even a pillar of stone:
and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.

And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.

And they journeyed from Bethel;
and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath:
and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour,
that the midwife said unto her,

Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.

And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing,
(for she died)
that she called his name Benoni:
but his father called him Benjamin.

And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath,
which is Bethlehem.............

Philippians 3:5
Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel,
of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews;
as touching the law, a Pharisee;
