Apostle Paul Caught Plagiarizing Greek Philosophers in His Epistles . . . —Letter to two Readers
01.05.2017 LISTEN

Not long ago, I published in this same medium and column, an article titled Apostle Paul Caught Plagiarizing Greek Philosophers in His Epistles of the New Testament which drew a sizeable readership of over 5,200 within two weeks of its publication!

Two readers of the article—Jerubbaal and Francis—asked me some interesting questions which I want to answer in and by this article, in the form of a letter to them, and also for the information and benefit of many more readers. I write this letter even though my questioners have already been answered in my separate responses to them, as and when they asked them, posted in the comments section of that article.

For the benefit of those who did not read that article, I am providing the internet link to it here for their reading and study. In fact, I urge all who never read that article to read it before reading this one. www.modernghana.com/news/769023/apostle-paul-caught-plagiarizing-greek-philosophers-in-his-e.html.

Before proceeding with my letter, I’d like to make public here, the very questions which were asked me by my two readers, thus:

“You sound like someone who does not believe at all in Christianity. Can I know from you the following? Do you believe in Jesus Christ? Do you believe in genealogy? Have you considered these great women, Rahab and Ruth, of our Lord Jesus Christ's genealogy? Do you know Christianity is not a religion? Who are you? That's the beauty of theology. I need you to answer anyway. Thank you.”—Asked by Francis, but very slightly edited by me.

“What then do you say about RUTH who came from Moab to marry Boaz who brought forth Obed who brought forth Jesse who begat David?”—Asked by Jerubbaal, unedited.

My letter is addressed, principally, to Francis because he asked more questions than Jerubbaal even though it was Jerubbaal, of the two, who first read the article; and also because the question asked by Jerubbaal got swallowed up in the many questions Francis asked! So then, here we go with my letter!

Dear Francis: Thank you for all these many questions you ask me upon reading my article. In fact, I am responding to them, even though none relates to the content of my article, because I love all my readers and will always do all I can to ensure their proper information on issues relating to spirituality! This, notwithstanding, I thought you would have read all comments of other readers, and my own responses to them, before posting more questions for me!

Also, I must say some of your questions are simply unnecessary if indeed you read my article critically and with a searching heart! For instance, you would not have asked me about Christianity and of a certain Jesus Christ (a real historical figure? or a cooked up and abstract one??) who people wrongly claim to have founded Christianity, if you had read my article critically, or my older articles which I encouraged all my readers to read.

And again, why ask me whether Christianity is a religion when every sixth grade pupil in school knows that Christianity is a religion?? I hope every sixth grader in school also knows that Christianity is the most confused religion on Earth, what with all its countless denominations that cannot find agreement among themselves!!

Teach me what knowledge you hold about Christianity that may not be obvious to me! And please, do not tell me Christianity is a particular way of life; for, it is NOT!! Now, if at all it is, it is a wrong way of life that disappoints and kills its adherents in the end!

Know that the Towrah enjoins every descendant of Avraham, who must be FIRMLY bound by it, to ONLY one way of life, and hence the slogan, “Towrah is Life”! Towrah is HaDerekh (The Way)—in fact, the only true way of life ordained by the Creator for all who love to obey and serve Him!

As you must know, worship according to the Towrah, reveals ONE Elohiym (not some trinity of an unholy Goy deity), has one house as central place of worship, one Kohen (priesthood?) to direct the worship of Yahuwah Elohiym, one manner of worship, etc.

This is, sadly, not so with Christianity; which is essentially a loose and undefined faith, in which Pentecostals, Charismatics, Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, Orthodoxy, et al, do many things differently and in manners as they like, simply because even the Bible they claim to be led by in their faith, beliefs and practices, has no definition/teaching that is known as “Christianity” in it by which any people claiming to be Christians may be guided into any safety!!

Yes, I have considered Rahab and Ruth and even gone beyond them to include Tamar (of Yahudah, in Genesis 38) in order to reveal, in the very article you read concerning my charge of plagiarism against St. Paul, their absorption into the house of Yahudah!

As I intimated earlier in this letter, this question of yours about Rahab and Ruth was first asked by Jerubbaal, in the first of his two posts to me on 4/18/2017; and for which I gave him the following reply that same day. Please read, right next here in this letter, my response to Jerubbaal which I am sure will edify you greatly.

Dear Jerubbaal: Thank you for your question; it makes a significant contribution to the discourse I seek to ignite by my article, though not directly!

I suppose you asked the question in view of what I said in my article about Paul not being qualified to be called a son of Yisroel, a descendant of Avraham, simply because his mother was a Roman and because the Towrah bars marriages between sons and daughters of Yisroel to anyone of the Goyim!

I hope you checked out my claim in this regard and the reference to Ezra too, and found them to be spot on! I hope you are also okay with what I said about Esau! However, beyond these facts, you seem to me to be worried about Ruth; and hence your question!

Well, talking about Ruth, do you know why Elimelech the husband of Naomi died in Moab? Do you also know why his two sons who both married Moabite women, obviously with his support, also died in Moab??

Do you know that Boaz never went courting Ruth to marry her, but was only principally interested in doing a duty under the Towrah toward saving the inheritance of his kinsman Elimelech, for the sake of Naomi; and that Ruth was only a part of the inheritance package that Boaz had to burden himself to take very good care of??

Remember also that, at the end of it all, Naomi lost three men—a husband and two sons, who, if they had been alive, would have been taking care of her! Her loss of three men was just to save one woman for Boaz so that, through Boaz (and Ruth??), she (Naomi) may have her needs for living met, which her husband/sons would have dutifully given to her if they had been alive! The marriage of Ruth to Boaz was also to ensure that Naomi's own name did not perish together with that of her husband (and sons??) and be lost to history!!

In any case, by all of these deaths of three men of Yisroel in Moab because they violated the Towrah, was someone not being purged to become fit for someone?? I do not know for certain; but I am thinking it was so!

Remember also that, almost the same situation which befell Naomi in Moab seemed to have been played out earlier on, against Yahudah (Judah??) the son of Yisroel in Adulam, where he too lost a wife just like Naomi lost a husband, and thereafter lost two of his three sons to death through their marriages to one and the same woman by name Tamar—cf. Bereshiyt (Genesis??) 38:1-30!

In the end, Yahudah seemed to have gotten his two sons back from the dead from or through this same Tamar in the twins Pharez and Zarah she begat by him, not as a result of copulation in a planned/legal marriage between him and Tamar, but from one single foolish fling!!

Strangely, this fling produced the seed that was to establish the royal line of Yahudah, to which Boaz was also to join in, later on, according to the plan and will of Yahuwah! How unsearchable are the ways of Yahuwah Elohiym!!

We must not forget about Rahab, once a harlot in Yericho, who also through marriage to one Salmon who begat Boaz (of Rachab—cf. Matthew 1:5, KJV), was co-joined to the family line of Yahudah to become a member of the royal family line of Yisroel. How did this happen? It happened through an act of war by Yisroel against Yericho in which human blood was shed for her salvation to become a part of Yisroel!

Again, as you would also remember, the taking of very beautiful Goy virgins (who were deemed never to have been known carnally by any Goy man) to wife, by warriors of Yisroel, was permitted as part of spoils taken whenever Yisroel had victory over his enemies in bloody battles—cf. Devarim (Deuteronomy??) 21:10-14.

In all of these, the fact still stands that the children of Yisroel were, by the Towrah, never to willfully intermarry with people of Goyim nations.

Dear Jerubbaal, I hope this discourse of mine has helped to clarify some things for you! Shalawam!!

Now, back to you, my dear Francis! If you want to know me, simply read my articles; for the messenger and the message he holds from Elohiym must always be in sync.

But let me say I find no beauty in theology! In fact, I loathe and abhor theology simply because it is all about a Greek concept of the Creator who, to them, is Theos, and intrinsic in theology are all the polytheistic Greek religions, idolatry, mythology, literature and their way of life. However, for me, a descendant of Avraham, I cannot go the way of the Goyim Greeks. This is why I hate theology!

Dear Francis, I must say to you how sad I am that you are still living in the deceived past of mankind by still clinging to the name JESUS CHRIST while searching for salvation! The very KJV Bible of 1611 which misled mankind to believe in one JESUS CHRIST for salvation, by its latest edition titled “The Restored Name King James Version Bible (RNKJVB, 1999), now admits error and culpability for this deception and misinformation by deleting JESUS found in their Old (1611) & New (1982) KJV, in replacement with YAHUSHUA!!

What this means is that, JESUS has been taught in error since 1611, and that the YAHUSHUA of 1999 is meant to correct this error and deception! Like seriously?? And this has been since 1999??

And yet, you, my dear Francis, have not heard this in order to be corrected and are thus still stuck to some JESUS?? How sad!! How devastating!!

Please, Francis, just Google “The Restored Name King James Version Bible” to learn of this truth in the RNKJVB; and also that, in it, “God” is replaced with “Elohiym”, “CHRIST” with “Messiah”, “Christian” with “Messianic” and “Christians” with “Messianics”; all very funny stuff! Oh my!!

I am trying to get into touch with the publishers of this novel RNKJVB, to demand the deletion of “Holy Ghost/Spirit” still found in their new Bible in exchange for “Ruwakh HaQuodesh”, which is the only genuine and true name of the essence and spirit of Yahuwah Elohiym.

In fact, no modern Bibles—The Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB), The Eth Cepher, The Hebraic Roots Bible (HRB), The Halleluyah Scriptures (HS), etc.—have any of the words GOD, JESUS, CHRIST, HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT, CHRISTIAN or CHRISTIANS in them!

So then, all Christians using these words in their search for the salvation of Yahuwah Elohiym are simply wasting their time, since Christianity is thus declared a dead horse!!

I thought I should warn all my readers, and in fact, all the people of this generation of this truth which portends so much evil for Christians.

Shalawam!
PS: Dear Francis, as I said earlier on in this letter, if you want to know me, read more of my over 150 articles published in this column to form your own opinion of me. In addition to that, you have my photo beside this article that you read to aid you in your desire to know who I am.

Let me further say I am offended, as a Towrah-believer, to be addressed as Reverend, apostle, bishop, evangelist, pastor or prophet, since these are Goyim titles that are not found in the Towrah or even the entire Tanakh and I could not be interested in them.

While welcoming you to the discourse sparked by this article and hoping that you would return to it, let me say to you once again, Shalawam!
