Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn. (2:79) O People of the Scripture, why do you mix [i.e., confuse] the truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know [it]?

    Christians will bypass Dr. Tabor's words and scream "Paul had divine revelation" but when you tell them about the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, they'll suddenly be overly critical of the method of revelation. It's just comical. Regardless, this is yet another brilliant interview brother Paul. Dr Tabor is very careful with his words and I respect him for that, but any honest person looking from the outside can see that Paul and his writings has overshadowed Jesus in the gospels and that speaks volumes

    I would say kind of yes because: Paul is the initiator, the founder of Pagan Christianity, before him was just the judaic Christianity. As time went on, judaic Christianity disappeared and the Pagan Christianity, which Paul founded, initiated became the todays Christianity. Christianitys development from a jewisch sect to a "new religion" took several hundred years but we can say it was completed during the 5th century after dozens of christian councils where todays Christianty was defined !!

Matthew mentions a zombie apocalypse that's nowhere else found in the other Gospels. Matthew also pretty much copies Mark but exaggerates everything like the two donkeys ridden by Jesus when entering Jerusalem (Mark only mentioned the one donkey), or the instantaneous drying of the cursed fig tree (delayed by one day in Mark). Or how John moved the crucifixion up one day to fit Jesus as the sacrificial Lamb, and totally dismissed Simon of Cyrene as Jesus' cross bearer, insisting that Jesus carried it himself.

Sh. Abdal Hakim Murad had some interesting thoughts to present on Christianity not merely being a Hellenised reconfiguration of Judaism, but a fusion of Hellenistic and Persian thought culminating in the theanthropic synthesis that dominated all of Europe

They were enhancing their relevance by adding new elements to their ideology to stay relevant and widen their base for increased revenue. There should be some old persian documents, but I think the Romans had the habit of erasing any trace of them.

    Zoroastrianism heavily influenced 2nd temple Judaism. Ideas that changed Judaism and bleed into the subsequent religions of Christianity and Islam include monotheism, a Messiah, heaven and hell, an afterlife, good vs evil dualism and more. Zoroastrianism was the religion of Cyrus the Great who is the only non Jew that is called God's Messiah in the Bible.

    @@almazchati4178 The Canaanite people that eventually became what you may be referring to as Israelites were polytheistic for most of their pre 2nd temple existence but during the Babylonia exile they were moving to a more henotheistic religious reform. That lasted until the 2nd temple period. Most people who don't understand the Zoroastrian reforms of Zarathustra don't realize that Zoroastrian became truly monotheistic in about 1,200 bce (possibly closer to 1,500 bce and some scholars think as late as 1,800 bce). Side note: The Israelites were actually Canaanite people who broke into a separate group that were also known as the Hyksos. The Exodus myth is based on the invasion of the Hyksos from Canaan to Egypt during the 15th, 16th and 17th dynasty before they were eventually expelled.

    @@Bhojani1 well, I think there are fringe groups who claim Ebionism, who have different beliefs. I personally don't know any save only a few who claimed they were trying to restore the ancient style of Hebrew and move to the Philippines as some way of fulfilling end time prophecy. But that's just one group. I personally only accept the Torah, Prophets, and Writings as true scripture. Others I make small account of. Aside from accepting Yeshua as Messiah, I do accept the 4 Gospels - but not as inspired writings. I do believe that the original gospel of Matthew is probably the fabled "Q" gospel that scholars have touted for the last 200 years. And I believe that Yeshua put Peter in charge of the organization of the church. I accept the apocryphal acts (mostly found in the so called "contendings of the Apostles" literature that has come down from the ethiopian church), I accept the literature attributed to Clement such as the Ethiopic Didascalia, Arabic apocalypse of Peter, Epistula Apostolorum, and the syriac Clementine Recognitions. These writings unfortunately, have been corrupted by Christian scribes but one day I intend to try and restore them to what would have been proper Jewish Petrine "Christianity". That's what I meant in my original post by "I wish to bring James out of oblivion" because these writings in some way preserve the true doctrines and accounts of the Apostles. But these are my beliefs, I'm sure other Ebionites have different views. One thing we all have in common is that we reject Paul as an apostate. And I personally believe that he was Simon Magus. Both of these men have the gematria value of 616, which is the original value that John wrote in his Apocalypse. Hopefully that all makes sense, feel free to ask more questions if you need clarification.

    💥 Exposing Paul Lies 💥 When you read Matthew chapter 27, you will see that Judas killed himself before - according to them - the crucifixion of Jesus: Matthew 27:5 So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself. Matthew 27:46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[a] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). That is why it means before the event - according to them - the resurrection of Jesus - that the number of the disciples would be 11, but Paul said in his letter to the Corinthians: 1 Corinthians 15:5 and that he appeared to Cephas,[a] and then to the Twelve. This means that he did not receive the revelation and the alleged story of the resurrection did not happen, but Mark, who came later said: Mark 16:14 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen. So Mark (The Anonymous Person) who didn't claim getting revelation didn't make the mistake in this alleged resurrection story but Paul who made the claim getting the revelation from Jesus get it wrong 🙄

    Some key moments: 39:40: "All the way through the Hebrew Bible God is accessible to every human being. God is nearer to those who call upon Him. `Call upon the name of the Lord and you will be saved.' That sounds like Paul but it's actually a quote from the Hebrew Bible: call upon the Creator and you can be saved from trouble, even saved from your sins. You can be forgiven as a father pities his son, so does the one God pity those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, He removes our sins." 50:57 "Prayer is the sacrifice." 51:29 "The new religion of Christianity was born in Romans 3." 59:12: "There is not one Christian element in the Book of James." 1:19:00: "Remember that verse in the Gospel of Thomas, where the disciples say, 'What do we do when you leave us? We're going to be orphans.' 'Go to James the Just... for whom Heaven and Earth came to be.'"

Earlier 1 Corinthians 9 he self interpreted a text to not overburden creatures beyond their capabilities Deut. 25: 4 to justify earning from preaching THEN made it a commandment! 14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel Then stated his methods... I did not say this as one time example but after reading throughly the letters! You can't help but notice, There is a deceptive word play at hand of which he tries to insert his own ideologies & preach them alongside what he received.

    All you have to do is to say the Shahada. I bear witness that there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah And I bear witness that Muhammad (and feel free to add Jesus, Moses, Noah, and Abraham, the Greatest messengers sent by God) is his messenger and servant. (Ideally in front of two Muslim witnesses) And God will completely forgive your blasphemy no matter how numerous. There is a caviat though that if you still have anti-Islam posts or books etc. Then you should try to remove them, but if you cannot because you don't have the power to do so, then God doesn't hold you accountable for what you have no control over.

    @Mike JJJ You think that circling the Temple of Mecca 7 times in Hajj is pagan? Clearly, you don't even know the Old Testament and the Law of God On each of the first six days of Haj Sukkot it was Jewish tradition to circle the Temple alter once while reciting psalms of Prophet David. On the seventh day of Sukkot the custom was to circle the Temple alter seven times. The Oral Torah says: "It was customary to make one circumambulation around the altar on each day of Sukkot; and seven circumambulations on the seventh day.” (Mishnah Sukkah 4:5). Each of the seven circles done on the seventh day is done in honor of a prophet; Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron and David, all of whom both Jews and Muslims revere. Further detials: In the centuries after the second Jerusalem Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE; pilgrimage ceased. Today the overwhelming majority of Jews outside the Land of Israel live in Protestant countries where pilgrimage plays little or no role in religious life. Thus, it is very hard for most Jews to feel the tremendous spiritual uplift that occurs to pilgrims on the long path to, and amidst the mass tumult of, a very special holy and sacred place. Both the Holy Qur’an and the Holy Bible stress the religious importance of an annual pilgrimage (Hajj in Arabic, Hag in Hebrew) to a sacred location. In Biblical times the Hebrew word Hag was pronounced Haj. The Qur’an states: “So keep the three Haj (Pilgrimage) days and seven fasts when you return.” (2:196) and the Torah states: Three times a year all your men are to appear before the God of Israel. (Exodus 34:23) The Torah also declares, “Celebrate Haj Sukkot for seven days after you have harvested the (fall) produce of your threshing floor and your winepress. Be joyful at your festival-you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, Levites, foreigners, orphans and the widows who live in your towns. For seven days celebrate the (pilgrimage) festival to the Lord your God… Three times a year all your men must appear before the Lord your God at the place He will choose: at the (spring) Haj of Matzot, the Haj of Weeks (seven weeks later), and the (fall) Haj of Sukkot. (Deuteronomy 16:13-16) The Haj of Sukkot was chosen by Prophet Solomon to dedicate the First Temple in Jerusalem. (1Kings 8; 2). Haj Sukkot was so important during the centuries when Solomon's Temple stood that the holy day week of Sukkot was often called simply "the Haj” (1 Kings 8:3; 8:65; 12:62; 2 Chronicles 5:3; 7:8) because of the very large numbers of Jews who came up to the Temple in Jerusalem.

    The church was officially founded on the day of Pentecost when the comforter came. The teachings concerning that church were revealed to God's "holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit." (Eph 3) The one chosen to be the chief steward of the "mysteries of the God" was Paul. Heretics usually do not like Paul because his letters warned us about them and their false teachings. There are many of them in the church in these last days and here on KZread. Those who truly possess the "Spirit of Truth" will find the Bible an open book and be able to "rightly divide it." They who don't, won't.

    Paul put his own words in the bible while Christians claim that it's the word of god. We all know that when God quotes a saying from someone, it is still God's words. But here we have paul admitting that he puts his own words in the bible. I Corinthians 7:25-28 NKJV Now concerning virgins: I HAVE NO commandment from the Lord; YET I GIVE judgment as one whom the Lord in His mercy has made trustworthy. I SUPPOSE therefore that this is good because of the present distress-that it is good for a man to remain as he is: Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. (In the above verse you see paul giving his own opinion ).

    Just reading Acts, you can see that Paul contradict his stories regarding seeing Jesus peace be upon him in a vision, on top of that, Paul changed the Covenant between God and Abraham, about Circumsition, this Covenant was until the day of judgment in Genesis, and he allowed them to eat pork. The changing of the Sabbath from Saturday to SUNday happened after Paul. We have similar man in Islam, he's name is Abdullah ibn Saba, he was a Jew, like Paul. He was trying to play the same role as Paul did with the teaching of Jesus peace be upon him. Abdullah ibn Saba claimed he became a Muslim. This happened during Ali's RA leadership, the Muslims exposed him. Today, those who have the same belief as Abdullah ibn Saba are the *Shia* ... *Verily, you will find the strongest among men in enmity to the believers (Muslims) the Jews and those who are Al-Mushrikun (see V.2:105), and you will find the nearest in love to the believers (Muslims) those who say: "We are Christians."

    I' just a layman, an undergraduate level of formal theological education at best, however sometimes I feel as if Dr. Tabor under sells how much emphasis Paul *does* place on the importance of ethics. I think Paul would 100% not only endorse the concepts in the letter of James but himself preached them. Even the faith-works dynamics. Paul mainly had to deal with Gentile-Jewish religious inter relational concerns and so his letters largely reflect that and are not always treatises on ethics which he certainly reminds his readers that he taught them and strictly warned them about. I think Paul says what James says but simply adds that the power source and vitalizing energy for the christian belief lies in the death and resurrection of Jesus (among other power sources). A question to ask, which Dr Tabor and Blogging Theology have asked and considered, is did the other 12 disciples know of, understand, and agree with the ideas Paul had about Jesus' death and resurrection and its subsequent ramifications. Blogging Theology believes they did not I think. I think Tabor as well or at least he hesitates to think they agreed. I'm not a trained historian or textual critic, so i'm only trying to exegete the New Testament, not mine the New Testament for historicity. In Galatians, in Paul's account of things, he says to Peter "How can you compel gentiles to live like a Jew when you yourself live like a Gentile!". I had presumed that Paul was saying that Peter had initially had some sort of agreement and shared understanding of Paul's idealogy that allowed him to think he was free from obligation or total obligation to the law of Moses (Paul early had claimed that James and Peter had already heard his gospel and gave him the hand of fellowship). He may have vascillated when men from James came, but this is still significant because, according to Paul, it seems like Peter *did* agree with Paul's gospel at least at some point even adopting it to his lifestyle. There is of course the book of Acts, which I understand Dr.Tabor and many others believe is a bit of Luke making Christian history and development seem smoother than it perhaps really was. In Acts there was friction but eventual tolerance if not complete agreement between James and Paul eventually.
