Paul's Words In Ephesians 2
Contradicted His Words In Galatians 4!
Ephesians 2:11-22 reads,
2:11Therefore
remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called
"uncircumcision" by that which is called "circumcision,"
(in the flesh, made by hands); 2:12that
you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of
Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and
without God in the world. 2:13But
now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood
of Christ. 2:14For he is our
peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition, 2:15having abolished in the flesh the
hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might
create in himself one new man of the two, making peace; 2:16and might reconcile them both in one body
to God through the cross, having killed the hostility thereby. 2:17He came and preached peace to you who were
far off and to those who were near. 2:18For
through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. 2:19So then you are no longer strangers and
sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household
of God, 2:20being built on the
foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief
cornerstone; 2:21in whom the whole
building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord; 2:22in whom you also are built together for a
habitation of God in the Spirit.
Paul's words in Ephesians 2, with respect to the inheritance of both Israelites and Gentiles, is DIFFERENT from his words on the same subject in Galatians 4. For in Galatians 4 he suggested that the inheritance of the non-Israelites was superior to that of Israelites, non-Israelites being children of promise while Israelites being children of flesh. His argumentation in Galatians was riddled with fallacies, including calling non-Israelites the children of promise. For the Abrahamic child of promise was Isaac, who is the ancestor of Israelites. Israelites are therefore indeed the children of promise and not those of flesh. Yet Paul spoke the very opposite word in attempting to propagate his fallacious theory!
Here in Ephesians 2 he speaks about the inheritance in a balanced manner,
that it belongs to
It is therefore observed time and time again that Paul was his own worst enemy. For his own arguments negate his fallacious arguments! He speaks with a forked tongue - one time saying one thing and another time saying something else, the very opposite. Sometimes he speaks two opposite things to the same audience in the same sitting!
What an unreliable spiritual guide!
Paul's Words In Ephesians 2
Contradicted His Words In Romans 2!
Here in Ephesians 2 Paul is crystal clear in his assertion that Christ abolished what he calls "the hostility" - "the law of commandments contained in ordinances". Nevertheless he, in Romans 2:25-29, said that the uncircumcised person who does the law, who keeps the law contained in ordinances, indeed fulfils the law and is spiritually circumcised. But if the law of commandments contained in ordinances has been abolished, as Paul contends, then spiritual circumcision is indeed an imaginary concept, seeing that there is no law contained in ordinances to observe and thereby be spiritually circumcised!
Does Spiritual Circumcision
Exist?
Again Paul, which is which? Does spiritual circumcision exist, as Paul said in Romans 2, or is it a non-existent concept and should therefore not even be mentioned? And if it is a non-existent concept, why then did Paul raise it?
According To The Law Of
Moses Spiritual Circumcision Is Not An Imaginary Concept
Deuteronomy 10:12-18 reads,
10:12Now,
Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, but to fear Yahweh your
God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh your God
with all your heart and with all your soul, 10:13to
keep the commandments of Yahweh, and his statutes, which I command you this day
for your good? 10:14Behold, to
Yahweh your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all
that is therein. 10:15Only Yahweh
had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them,
even you above all peoples, as at this day. 10:16Circumcise
therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked. 10:17For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods,
and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t
regard persons, nor takes reward. 10:18He
does execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the sojourner, in
giving him food and clothing.
The law clearly shows that spiritual circumcision - that of the heart - is not an imaginary concept but a very real one. For spiritual circumcision - circumcision of the heart - is equated to fearing Yahweh, to walk in all his ways, to love him, and to serve Yahweh our Mighty One with all our heart and with all our soul, to keep the commandments of Yahweh, and his statutes! In other words, spiritual circumcision - circumcision of the heart - is synonymous with the first and great commandment as Yah'shuah called it in Matthew 22:38, the very commandment that Paul omits from what is required to fulfil the whole law!
According To The Law Of
Moses The Commandments Therein Are Still Applicable Today!
Deuteronomy 30 reads,
30:1It
shall happen, when all these things are come on you, the blessing and the
curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all
the nations, where Yahweh your God has driven you, 30:2and shall return to Yahweh your God, and shall obey
his voice according to all that I command you this day, you and your
children, with all your heart, and with all your soul; 30:3that then Yahweh your God will turn your
captivity, and have compassion on you, and will return and gather you from all
the peoples, where Yahweh your God has scattered you. 30:4If any of your outcasts are in the
uttermost parts of the heavens, from there will Yahweh your God gather you, and
from there will he bring you back: 30:5and
Yahweh your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and
you shall possess it; and he will do you good, and multiply you above your
fathers. 30:6Yahweh your God
will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love Yahweh your
God with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live. 30:7Yahweh your God will put all these curses
on your enemies, and on those who hate you, who persecuted you. 30:8You shall return and obey the voice of
Yahweh, and do all his commandments which I command you this day. 30:9Yahweh your God will make you plenteous in
all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your
cattle, and in the fruit of your ground, for good: for Yahweh will again
rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers; 30:10if you shall obey the voice of Yahweh your
God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this
book of the law; if you turn to Yahweh your God with all your heart, and
with all your soul. 30:11For
this commandment which I command you this day, it is not too hard for you,
neither is it far off. 30:12It is
not in heaven, that you should say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring
it to us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it? 30:13Neither is it beyond the sea, that you
should say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, and make us
to hear it, that we may do it? 30:14But
the word is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do
it. 30:15Behold, I have set
before you this day life and good, and death and evil; 30:16in that I command you this day
to love Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and
his statutes and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply, and
that Yahweh your God may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it.
30:17But if your heart turn away,
and you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other gods, and
serve them; 30:18I denounce to you
this day, that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the
land, where you pass over the Jordan to go in to possess it. 30:19I call heaven and earth to witness against
you this day, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and
the curse: therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your seed; 30:20to love Yahweh your God, to obey his
voice, and to cleave to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days;
that you may dwell in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham,
to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
Moses' words in the book of the law clearly show that the word that he
commanded
Israelites Will Dwell In
The Uttermost Parts Of The Heavens!
Now, from the time that Moses spoke and wrote down those words in the book of the law it hasn't been possible for Israelites to be in the uttermost parts of the heavens - until now! For now human beings are exploring the close reaches of the heavens. In the space of time they will indeed not only be exploring the uttermost parts of the heavens but would actually be dwelling therein. For it is indeed the case that for Yahweh to gather them from the uttermost parts of the heavens they would indeed be inhabiting those uttermost parts of the heavens that Yahweh will gather them from!
The Word Yahweh Will
Require Israel To Observe When He Gathers Them Back To Their Own Land
Moses clearly showed that even at this still future time the very word that Yahweh will require Israelites to observe is the very word that he set before them that day, to love Yahweh with all their heart and all their soul, that they may live. And it is in loving Yahweh their Mighty One with all their heart and all their soul that their hearts will indeed be circumcised!
Spiritual Circumcision Is
Obeying The First And Great Commandment
It is therefore established beyond any shadow of doubt that spiritual circumcision - circumcision of the heart - is the same as loving Yahweh the Mighty One with all the heart and all the soul, obeying his voice and keeping his commandments, and his statutes and his ordinances!
Paul Spoke Against Yahweh's
Words Through His Servant Moses
But Paul - yes, that man Paul - teaches that the law has been abolished, teaches that the law has been killed! Paul therefore teaches that Israelites will not be able to observe the word that Yahweh gave them by Moses, the word that facilitates their hearts being circumcised. Paul therefore teaches that Israelites will not be circumcised in the heart at the time that Moses prophesied that they would be!
Yahweh, through his servant and prophet Moses, clearly states that his word and law will continue to exist at the time of Israel's gathering from the places of their scattering and driving. But Paul, who professes to be Yahweh's servant, says the very opposite of Yahweh's word!
Whom Will You Follow -
Yahweh Or Paul The Rebel?
Who are you going to believe - Yahweh's word through his servant Moses, or Paul's contrary and self-contradicting and fallacious words? Are you going to love Yahweh with all your heart and soul, doing all his commandments, statutes and ordinances, thereby being circumcised in your heart? Or are you going to disregard the first and great commandment, that which facilitates your heart being circumcised, and follow Paul in his rebellion and disbelief against Yahweh? Whom are you going to follow - Yahweh or Paul?
What To Do With Rebels Like
Paul!
Deuteronomy 13:1-5 reads,
13:1If
there arise in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he give
you a sign or a wonder, 13:2and the
sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spoke to you, saying, Let us go
after other gods, which you have not known, and let us serve them; 13:3you shall not listen to the words of
that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams: for Yahweh your God proves you, to
know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your
soul. 13:4You shall walk
after Yahweh your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his
voice, and you shall serve him, and cleave to him. 13:5That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams,
shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh your God,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of
bondage, to draw you aside out of the way which Yahweh your God commanded
you to walk in. So shall you put away the evil from the midst of you.
Yahweh's word is CRYSTAL CLEAR concerning what to do with the likes of Paul. Paul, by preaching that the law of Yahweh has been abolished and killed, and speaking out against it, has sought to draw aside Yahweh's people out of the way which Yahweh their Mighty One commanded them to walk in. Paul, by omitting the first and great commandment out of what Yah'shuah's followers should be living by, has sought to draw them aside out of the way which Yahweh their Mighty One commanded them to walk in. Paul has spoken rebellion against Yahweh. He has therefore committed sin worthy of death!
Are You Going To Follow The
Apostle Of Death - Paul, Or The Author And Giver Of Life - Yahweh?
Who are you going to follow - the apostle of death - Paul, or the author and giver of life - Yahweh! Don't you now have before you life and death, blessing and curse? Don't you know have before you the choice of abiding by or not abiding by loving Yahweh the Mighty One with all your heart and all your soul, listening to his voice, doing his commandments, statutes, ordinances and all his law? Will you choose life or will you choose death? Will you choose Yahweh or will you choose Paul?
Paul's Words In Philippians
3:6 Contradicted His Words In Galatians 2:21!
Philippians 3:1-6 reads,
3:1Finally,
my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed
is not tiresome, but for you it is safe. 3:2Beware
of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision. 3:3For we are the circumcision, who worship
God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in
the flesh; 3:4though I myself might
have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has
confidence in the flesh, I yet more: 3:5circumcised
the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of
Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee; 3:6concerning
zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the
law, found blameless.
Paul's words to the Philippians CONTRADICT his own words to the Galatians. In 3:6 he talks of "the righteousness which is in the law", even as he mentioned in his letter to the Romans. But in Galatians 2:21 he said, "if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing"! It is therefore clearly apparent that Paul's words are self-contradictory. He speaks with a forked tongue, saying one thing to one person and the opposite thing to a different person!
Paul And His Followers
Didn't Have The True Circumcision!
Paul warns his audience to beware the false circumcision, asserting that he and his group belong to the true circumcision. But, as already seen above, Paul teaches the abrogation of the law and is against its observance. But true circumcision, as defined by Yahweh through Moses his servant, is doing the law, listening to Yahweh's word and voice, loving Yahweh with all the heart and all the soul, doing all of Yahweh's commandments, statutes and ordinances. Seeing that Paul purports to do away with the things that must be done for one to be circumcised in the heart it is indeed concluded that Paul and his followers didn't have the true circumcision! Paul's circumcision was a false one, for he did away with what makes for true circumcision!
Paul Was Indeed The
"Dog" And "Evil Worker"
Therefore, turning his own words upon himself, Paul is indeed the "dog" and "evil worker", even as he calls others in Philippians 3:2! It is Paul and his ilk that Yahweh and Yah'shuah's followers should be wary of!
Was Paul "The Man Of
Sin", "The Son Of Destruction", Spoken Of In 2 Thessalonians 2?
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 reads,
2:1Now
we beg you, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our
gathering together to him, 2:2to the
end that you won’t be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either
by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of Christ
had come. 2:3Let no one deceive you
in any way. For it will not be, unless the falling away comes first, and the
man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction, 2:4he who opposes and exalts himself against
all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the
temple of God, setting himself up as God. 2:5Don’t
you remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things? 2:6Now you know what is restraining him, to
the end that he may be revealed in his own season. 2:7For the mystery of lawlessness does already work. Only
there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way. 2:8Then will the lawless one be revealed,
whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nothing by
the brightness of his coming; 2:9even
he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and
signs and lying wonders, 2:10and
with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they
didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 2:11Because of this, God sends them a working
of error, that they should believe a lie; 2:12that
they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness.
Isn't Paul's behaviour similar to that the lawless one that he speaks about, working according to the mystery of lawlessness? Hasn't Paul clearly taught that the law of Yahweh, that given to the children of Israel through Moses, has been abrogated? Hasn't Paul taught against his law, and contrasted it against faith and what he calls the law of Christ? Hasn't Paul omitted what Yah'shuah clearly showed is the first and great commandment, "you shall love Yahweh your Mighty One with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind", in what is required to fulfil the whole law? Isn't what Paul has omitted what facilitates true spiritual circumcision - that of the heart? Hasn't Paul been shown to have come according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn't receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved? Hasn't Yahweh sent Paul's followers a working of error, that they should believe a lie, because they didn't love the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness?
According To Paul The
Goodness Of The Law Is Dependent On How It Is Used!
1 Timothy 1:3-11 reads,
1:3As
I exhorted you to stay at Ephesus, when I was going into Macedonia, that you
might charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine, 1:4neither to pay attention to myths and endless
genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God’s stewardship, which is in
faith — 1:5But the end of the
charge is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned
faith; 1:6from which things some,
having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking; 1:7desiring to be teachers of the law, though
they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.
1:8But we know that the law is
good, if a man uses it lawfully, 1:9as
knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the
lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and
profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals,
for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary
to the sound doctrine; 1:11according
to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
In 1:8 Paul states that "the law is good, if a man uses it lawfully". What if a man doesn't use it lawfully? Does the law become bad when used unlawfully?
In other words, Paul is saying that the goodness of the law is dependent on how it is used - good when used lawfully but bad when used unlawfully! This is absolute MADNESS!
Goodness Is NOT Defined By
Human Beings!
The law is Yahweh's word! Paul is saying that Yahweh's word is good when used according to his word but bad when used contrary to his word! The truth of the matter is that Yahweh's word, the encapsulation of Yahweh himself, is good INDEPENDENT of how anyone else views him or uses or abuses his word! Yahweh's goodness, and his word's goodness, is NOT measured by human beings, and how they use or abuse Yahweh's word! Goodness is NOT defined by human beings! Yahweh is the one who defines goodness, for it is Yahweh who is good!
Yah'shuah Clearly Showed
That Only Yahweh The Mighty One Is Good
Matthew 19:16-17 reads,
19:16Behold,
one came to him and said, "Good teacher, what good thing shall I do,
that I may have eternal life?"
19:17He
said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one
is good but one, that is, God. But if you
want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
Didn't Yah'shuah clearly show that only Yahweh the Mighty One is good? Isn't Yahweh therefore the standard of what is good?
Paul Attempted To Turn
Things Upside Down!
But Paul attempted to turn things upside down! He attempted to make human beings the standard of determination of what is good, even as the person who came to Yah'shuah presumed to himself to determine what is good!
Paul is WRONG! It is NOT the case that the law is good if it is used lawfully. The law is good irrespective of how it is used. Usage of the law and the law itself should not be confused. These are two separate things, yet Paul attempts to create confusion by jumbling them up!
Paul's Words In Romans 7:12
Contradicted His Words In 1 Timothy 1:8!
In his letter to the Romans, in 7:12, Paul stated that the law is good. In that portion he did not bring in relativism, but spoke in absolute terms. Paul's views in Romans 7:12 with respect to the law contradict this words to Timothy in 1 Timothy 1:8. Paul is indeed a self-contradictory teacher, speaking with a forked tongue, telling one person one thing and another person the opposite thing!
Paul Again Manifested His
CONFUSED And ILLOGICAL THINKING!
In 1:9 Paul states that the "law is not made for the righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate". Paul is again manifesting his CONFUSED and ILLOGICAL THINKING!
In order to be lawless there must be a law that one disobeys or violates. In order to be insubordinate there must be a person that one is insubordinate to. In other words, the law must exist before the existence of the lawless one. The authority must exist before the existence of the insubordinate one.
But Paul's words suggest that the law is made once there is a lawless or insubordinate person - a logical impossibility!
Likewise, one cannot be righteous unless there is a standard by which to assess righteousness. The standard must first exist before one can be assessed to be righteous. But Paul mixes up the logical order of things, and attempts to confuse their order from the possible to the impossible, from what exists to what cannot possibly exist! Paul's thinking was truly confused and illogical!
Paul Taught A Doctrine
Different From Yahweh's Word!
Paul wrote to Timothy to charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine. Well, from our examination of Paul's doctrines, it is indeed clearly evident that he is the one who taught a doctrine different from the word of Yahweh! Paul is the one who should have been charged against teaching a doctrine different from Yahweh's word!
Paul's Words Turned Against
Paul!
And just as Paul wrote to Timothy in reference to some unnamed people, those very words are turned against Paul himself! It is clearly evident that Paul indeed missed the mark, turning aside to vain talking, purporting to be a teacher of the law though he understood neither what he said nor what he strongly affirmed! Yes - Paul's own words have been turned against himself, as his works clearly show that his words against others should be turned against himself!
Why Did Disputes About The
Law Exist Among Paul's Followers?
Titus 3:8-9 reads,
3:8This
saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm
confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may be careful to
maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men; 3:9but shun foolish questionings,
genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable
and vain.
Why did disputes about the law exist among Paul's followers? Was it because he taught the abrogation of the law and there were others who opposed this teaching of his?
Author Assumes That Paul
Wrote The Letter To The Hebrews
Hebrews 7 reads,
7:1For
this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham
returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, 7:2to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of
all (being first, by interpretation, King of righteousness, and then also King
of Salem, which is King of peace; 7:3without
father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor
end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually. 7:4Now consider how great this man was, to whom
even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best spoils. 7:5They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive
the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes of the people
according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come
out of the loins of Abraham, 7:6but
he whose genealogy is not counted from them has taken tithes of Abraham, and
has blessed him who has the promises. 7:7But
without any dispute the less is blessed of the better. 7:8Here men who die receive tithes, but there one,
of whom it is testified that he lives. 7:9So
to say, through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes, 7:10for he was yet in the loins of his father
when Melchizedek met him. 7:11Now
if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it have
the people received the law), what further need was there for another priest to
arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of
Aaron? 7:12For the priesthood
being changed, there is of necessity a change made also of the law. 7:13For he of whom these things are said
belongs to another tribe, from which no man has given attendance at the altar. 7:14For it is evident that our Lord has sprung
out of Judah, as to which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. 7:15This is yet more abundantly evident, if
after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest, 7:16who has been made, not after the law of a
fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life: 7:17for it is testified,
"You are a priest forever,
According to the order of Melchizedek."
7:18For
there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and
uselessness 7:19(for the law made
nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which
we draw near to God. 7:20Inasmuch
as it is not without the taking of an oath, 7:21for
they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him
that says of him,
"The Lord swore and will not change his
mind,
‘You are a priest forever,
According to the order of Melchizedek’".
7:22By
so much has Jesus become the collateral of a better covenant. 7:23Many, indeed, have been made priests,
because they are hindered from continuing by death. 7:24But he, because he lives forever, has his
priesthood unchangeable. 7:25Therefore
he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through
him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them.
7:26For
such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated
from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 7:27who
doesn’t need, like those high priests, to daily offer up sacrifices, first for
his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For this he did once for
all, when he offered up himself. 7:28For
the law appoints men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the oath,
which was after the law, appoints a Son, perfected forevermore.
I have assumed that the writer of Hebrews is Paul. Even though the letter to the Hebrews does not begin in the style of Paul's several letters, the theology contained in it is typical of that of Paul in Paul's letters. Therefore, even if Paul was not the author of Hebrews, the theology inherent in Hebrews is the same as that in Paul's letters to various assemblies.
The Empty Assertion That
Melchizedek Was Without Genealogy!
7:3 asserts that Melchizedek was without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life. Nevertheless, this is an EMPTY assertion, for it does not have Scriptural support! Is it proper to make an assertion not supported by Scripture and expect an audience to believe it? Should an audience rest its belief on Yahweh's word - Scripture - or on the word of anyone who asserts anything without providing supporting words from Yahweh to prove the assertion?
Is It "Without
Dispute" That The Less Is Blessed Of The Better?
In 7:7 it is asserted that it is WITHOUT DISPUTE that the less is blessed of the better, this spoken in reference to Melchizedek and Abraham, seeing that Melchizedek blessed Abraham.
Melchizedek Blessed Both
Abram And The Mighty One Most High
Genesis 14:18-20 reads,
14:18Melchizedek
king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High.
14:19He blessed him, and said,
"Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth: 14:20and blessed be God Most High, who has
delivered your enemies into your hand."
Abram gave him a tenth of all.
Was Melchizedek, priest of the Mighty One Most High, better or greater than the one to whom he ministered, the Mighty One Most High? Didn't Melchizedek bless the Mighty One Most High? Is a servant greater or better than his master? Is the Mighty One Most High lesser than his priest Melchizedek?
MADNESS!
Hebrews 7:7 Is WRONG As
Scripture Has Disproved It!
The truth of the matter is the Most High is truly as he is described - the Most High. There is no one higher, or better or greater than the Most High. Melchizedek his priest is therefore lesser than he is. Seeing that Melchizedek indeed blessed his superior, the Most High, it is concluded that it is NOT without dispute that the less is blessed of the better! Hebrews 7:7 is therefore WRONG, seeing that Scripture has shown that it is wrong!
The Letter To The Hebrews
Shown To Be Incredible
In 7:3 it was seen that an unproven assertion was made, that Melchizedek had no genealogy, without father or mother. Now in 7:7 it is seen that what is asserted as true is indeed FALSE! Considering these weaknesses, can one really rely on Hebrews for spiritual guidance? Might not one rely on something in Hebrews, thinking that it is true, but indeed it is false? Isn't this letter to the Hebrews shown to be incredible?
Does Scripture Attribute
The Works Of A Person To His Descendants?
7:9-10 attributes to Levi the works of his ancestor Abraham, on account of Levi having been in the loins of his ancestor Abraham? Is this a scripturally valid principle or is it just another unproven assertion of the writer?
