What if I told you that St. Paul was the equivalent of a Nazi SS Hauptsturmführer?

Why write a book of cryptic secrets against a man who was already hated by both Jews and Romans alike? If John had a problem with Paul, I think he would have been blunt about it.
Paul was not hated by the Romans, since he was Roman by birth. That's how he saved his own arse when in it was in the sling....and they came and ushered him out to save him. He was hated by the Jews because he taught the "law" was no longer in effect. So...what did he do? He went to the gentiles (after stealing that from Peter), and taught them Mithraism (with a twist). Paul made up his own "gospel" to preach to the gentiles who didn't know any better. They had no clue about the Jewish "laws".
You lack one very important theological fact (if that is possible) and that is you would have to rewrite the entire NT to show your intense hatred for Saul/Paul.
Quite a spiel you have been indoctrinated into.
Look at what you just wrote in the above post. " He was hated by the Jews because he taught the "law" was no longer in effect." Where in the world did you learn that? Saul/Paul changed nothing of the law.

Did you ever realize that when Jesus was alive and the Jews brought the adulterous woman before Him that He also changed the law? The law declared that both who offended the law would be killed. Well? What happened? She was not killed was she? Is that a change?
A second chance to make it right. That was what Paul taught.
What if I told you that St. Paul was the equivalent of a Nazi SS Hauptsturmführer? Or a petty SA private trying to save his own Jewish skin? What if I told you that The Seven Caesars were the Antichrist (the false Caesars) and that St. Paul served as their False Prophet?
No, my intense hatred (as you call it) is because Saul (aka Paul) was a two faced, lying, politician style, wolf in sheep's clothing....just as Jesus warned us to beware of. I have no desire nor need to rewrite the whole NT. Just because Saul takes up most of it, does not make him legit. MEN put his epistles in there and called them "Canon". Doesn't mean he was "ordained by the true Most High God" to be an apostle. Actually, the only one who promoted him to that station was...Saul. I don't believe the "blinding light" on the road to Damascus was Jesus. I do have that prerogative. Not to mention the fact that there were only TWELVE apostles, whom Jesus chose (one betrayed Him) and the other was picked by the MEN whom Jesus CHOSE...after they prayed to the HS as to whom they should give the role of the 12th to. You can hem-haw around that all you want...but, the very men whom Jesus picked, were the one's who trusted in the HS to show them who was next in line.....while Saul chose HIMSELF and said he was chosen (with no two witnesses to collaborate it, either).

That's just a few.

You replied
It's a HUGE change....do you want to know why? Because Jesus did not represent YHWH (JEHOVAH) or whatever you want to call him. Jesus represented the true Father....and it wasn't the god of the Jews. That's why Jesus reached out to ALL those whom YHWH would have deemed deserving of death (including picking up sticks on the Sabbath). Show me how Jesus kept YHWH'S law? Can you? If He was supposedly the only One who kept the law in order to be a perfect sacrifice, then how could He violate the laws of His supposed "Father"....and still be the perfect lamb?
You stated that Jesus' Father was not the same deity as Moses' Father. Clarify that for me would you please.
With nothing to be shown as to the source. I have read that spiel many times in the past from several sources who wish to destroy the Christian faith but very little truth is involved in your list of twenty five unverified and untrue rants. If you wish to debate then choose your favorite and we then can debate them one at a time. I cannot reply to all of your accusations without your source and issues. Nice try though.
Saulus and Barnabas were bounty hunters and they sold Christians to Rome on behalf of the Pharisees and the Elders
