You have no excuse for rejecting Paul and rejecting most of the New
Testament. You have no excuse for rejecting the parts of God's Word
that you do not like. Furthermore, you have no basis for your claim as
long as you ignore the Biblical fact that Luke, Silas, Barnabas,
Peter, all the disciples of Jesus Christ present with Paul AND the
Holy Spirit ALL accepted Paul as a true apostle of Jesus Christ. This
is a HUGE, GAPING FLAW in the anti-Pauline claim that none of you have
ever been able to address. Instead, it is ignored in a vain attempt
that no one notices.
You call Biblical truth lies which is an example of God teaching us
that corrupted individuals like yourself will call good evil and evil
good. So basically you're being an example of Biblical teachings of
those who are false teachers. All Biblical truth. Deny it all you
wish, but your words and deeds expose your wickedness.
Linda, will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?
Linda Lee, in her anti-Paul zeal, is unable and unwilling to address
scripture that destroys her assertions. To whit:
Acts 2:1-4
2:1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one
place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from
heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw
what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on
each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began
to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
The Holy Spirit filled all at this house during the day of Pentecost.
Acts 4:8-10
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit , said to them: "Rulers and
elders of the people! 9 If we are being called to account today for an
act of kindness shown to a cripple and are asked how he was healed, 10
then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from
the dead, that this man stands before you healed.
The Holy Spirit filled Peter.
Acts 4:23-31
23 On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and
re****ted all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 24
When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to
God. "Sovereign Lord," they said, "you made the heaven and the earth
and the sea, and everything in them. 25 You spoke by the Holy Spirit
through the mouth of your servant, our father David: "'Why do the
nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? 26 The kings of the earth
take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and
against his Anointed One.'
27 Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and
the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy
servant Jesus, whom you anointed. 28 They did what your power and will
had decided beforehand should happen. 29 Now, Lord, consider their
threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great
boldness. 30 Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous
signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus." 31
After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And
they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God
boldly.
Look who was filled with the Holy Spirit here.
Acts 7:55-56
55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit , looked up to heaven and saw
the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56
"Look," he said, "I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the
right hand of God."
The Holy Spirit filled Stephen.
Acts 10:44-45
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on
all who heard the message. 45 The cir***cised believers who had come
with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been
poured out even on the Gentiles.
The Holy Spirit filled all those who heard and believed [faith] the
message of the Good News that Peter spoke.
Acts 11:22-24
22 News of this reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem, and they
sent Barnabas to Antioch. 23 When he arrived and saw the evidence of
the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true
to the Lord with all their hearts. 24 He was a good man, full of the
Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to
the Lord.
The Holy Spirit filled Barnabas.
Acts 13:9-10
9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit,
looked straight at Elymas and said, 10 "You are a child of the devil
and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of
deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of
the Lord?"
The Holy Spirit filled Paul.
Acts 13:49-52
49 The word of the Lord spread through the whole region. 50 But the
Jews incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading
men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and
Barnabas, and expelled them from their region. 51 So they shook the
dust from their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium. 52
And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit filled the disciples mentioned in v52.
Would the Holy Spirit fill a false apostle or someone who did not
truly believe [faith]? No. Would the Holy Spirit fill an unbeliever?
No. Would the Holy Spirit fill a rejecter of Christ? No.
Acts 15:8
8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the
Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us.
Paul was a true apostle of Jesus Christ. So says the Scriptures.
Furthermore, Linda Lee wrote in her profile, and I quote, "Paul is the
way to HELL".
Well, if she truly believes this then she must, by logical
progression, have to believe that Luke, Barnabas, Silas, the disciples
of Jesus Christ who were present at the time AND the Holy Spirit were
ALL hellbound for accepting Paul as a true apostle of Jesus Christ.
This presents quite a conundrum for Linda Lee. In the past she
sidestepped this gaping flaw in her assertion, threw out red herrings
and straw man fallacies and engaged in ad hominem attack. Thus far she
has refused to directly address these passages I cited above. I
challenge her to address these Bible passages that show quite clearly
that Luke, Barnabas, Silas, the disciples of Jesus Christ who were
present at the time AND the Holy Spirit ALL accepted Paul as a true
apostle of Jesus Christ. I also challenge her to the following: if she
still holds to her assertion that "Paul is the way to HELL" and a
false apostle, then I challenge her to explain why and how Luke,
Barnabas, Silas, the disciples of Jesus Christ who were present at the
time AND the Holy Spirit could have been deceived.
Until and unless Linda Lee can adequately answer these challenges, of
which expose huge, gaping flaws in her ant-Paul stance, she nor her
positions, assertions and claims cannot and should not be taken nor
accepted as truthful, factual and Biblical. If she refuses to answer
these challenges, then she and her positions, assertions and claims
should be completely and totally rejected by Christians.
The challenge remains open to Linda Lee for as long as it takes for
her to answer them completely, thoroughly and most im****tantly,
Biblically.
May God bless,
Carl
