Historical Quotes Concerning Paul and his doctrines from
Historians, Philosophers and Theologians:
Carl Sagan (Scientist; Author)
"My long-time view about Christianity is that it represents an amalgam of two
seemingly
immiscible parts--the religion of Jesus and the religion of Paul. Thomas Jefferson
attempted to
excise the Pauline parts of the New Testament. There wasn't much left when he was done,
but it
was an inspiring document." (Letter to Ken Schei [author of Christianity Betrayed])
Thomas Jefferson
"Paul was the first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus." (All references not
listed here, can be
found in Christianity Betrayed)
Albert Schweitzer
"Where possible Paul avoids quoting the teaching of Jesus, in fact even mentioning
it. If we had
to rely on Paul, we should not know that Jesus taught in parables, had delivered the
sermon on
the mount, and had taught His disciples the 'Our Father.' Even where they are specially
relevant, Paul passes over the words of the Lord."
Wil Durant (Philosopher)
"Paul created a theology of which none but the vaguest warrants can be found in the
words of
Christ."
"Fundamentalism is the triumph of Paul over Christ."
Walter Kaufmann (Professor of Philosophy, Princeton)
"Paul substituted faith in Christ for the Christlike life."
George Bernard Shaw
"No sooner had Jesus knocked over the dragon of superstition than Paul boldly set it
on its
legs again in the name of Jesus."
Thomas Hardy
"The new testament was less a Christiad than a Pauliad."
Hyam Maccoby (Talmudic Scholar)
"As we have seen, the purposes of the book of Acts is to minimize the conflict
between Paul and
the leaders of the Jerusalem Church, James and Peter. Peter and Paul, in later Christian
tradition, became twin saints, brothers in faith, and the idea that they were historically
bitter
opponents standing for irreconcilable religious standpoints would have been repudiated
with
horror. The work of the author of Acts was well done; he rescued Christianity from the
imputation of being the individual creation of Paul, and instead gave it a respectable
pedigree,
as a doctrine with the authority of the so-called Jerusalem Church, conceived as
continuous in
spirit with the Pauline Gentile Church of Rome. Yet, for all his efforts, the truth of the
matter is
not hard to recover, if we examine the New Testament evidence with an eye to tell-tale
inconsistencies and confusions, rather than with the determination to gloss over and
harmonize all difficulties in the interests of an orthodox interpretation." (The
Mythmaker, p. 139,Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London, 1986)
Jeremy Bentham (English Philosopher)
"If Christianity needed an Anti-Christ, they needed look no farther than Paul."
(Paraphrased. Looking for a copy of "Not Paul, but Jesus" in order to retrieve
the exact quote.)
Carl Jung (Psychologist)
"Paul hardly ever allows the real Jesus of Nazareth to get a word in." (U.S.
News and World
Report, April 22, 1991, p. 55)
Bishop John S. Spong (Episcopal Bishop of Newark)
"Paul's words are not the Words of God. They are the words of Paul- a vast
difference."
(Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism, p. 104, Harper San Francisco, 1991).

Holy Spirit or Rolling the Dice? When it came to collecting money, the Holy Spirit was all over the place (Acts 5). But when it came to selecting the 12th disciple, they had to roll the dice to pick Matthias via a game of chance. And they lied on GOD Almighty and said that the result of the casting of the lots was from GOD Almighty. But the Holy Spirit was supposedly there from the first place. So why couldn't It just speak Matthias' name and be done with it? Why the game of chance at all? We read:
Matthew 10:20
Mark 13:11
VS.
Acts 1 They rolled the dice while dismally failing to just speak Matthias' name. And we're talking about choosing the Prince of the 12th Divine Throne? As if that is not important enough for the Holy Spirit? The New Testament's confusing, incoherent and oxymoronic statements had caused for sinful things to become lawful and for lawful things to become sinful, and for pious believers to be considered disbelievers, and for disbelievers and hypocrites to be considered pious believers. This in itself is a blasphemy against GOD Almighty. The New Testament gives warnings about the infestation of existing false prophets and messiahs [1] at the time. See also Daniel 7:25 prophecy about the false king will change time and the Law. Christians often use the shallow claim about Christianity passed the test of time, and that the calendar that we use is based on Jesus' birth. But this exactly fulfills this prophecy. Time has changed and the Law has been thoroughly violated. The false tongue of problematic hyperboles has caused for the forbidden to become lawful and for the lawful to become forbidden:
Daniel 7:25 See also the ample prophecies about
the new covenant and new Servant
will come from the
desert
of Kedar and Teman in Arabia [2].
Prophet Muhammad was even
mentioned by the name in the found Dead
Sea scrolls:
Promised a lie? 1- Why couldn't the Holy Spirit say GOD Almighty Chose Matthias? Were they not filled with the Holy Spirit:
Mark 13:11
Matthew 10:20 Galatians 2:11-12 11 Furthermore, when Kefa came to Antioch, I opposed him publicly, because he was clearly in the wrong. 12 For prior to the arrival of certain people from [the community headed by] Ya‘akov, he had been eating with the Gentile believers; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, because he was afraid of the faction who favored circumcising Gentile believers. VS. Mark 13:11 Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 10:20 So were they opposing the Holy Spirit in their conflicts? There are open debates that remained unsettled between the disciples in the NT. Yet, they were promised that it would be the Holy Spirit that would be speaking through their mouths, and not them. Or were they all just a bunch of frauds that were in it for the money? That without the money none of them would even be known? Paul calls the Bible fables and lies:
Titus 1:10-16 Jewish fables and commandments of men? The Jewish law is filled with commandments and traditions that GOD Almighty supposedly revealed to Moses. Among those is the law of circumcision:
Leviticus 12:3
Notice how Paul called these commandments "Jewish fables, and commandments of men". Yet, they are supposed to be GOD Almighty's Divine Revelations to Moses. This is not about abrogation. This is clear denial of the truthfulness of the verses above, - that they are nothing more than man-made lies and fables. So here we have the following clash: 1- The Jewish Law contains fables and commandments of men. 2- The Jewish law contains lies on GOD Almighty. 3- The Jewish law is doubtful and corrupt. 4- Jesus lied when he said that he did not come to abolish the Jewish law, but to fulfill it. He obviously did not come to abolish the man-made lies and fables:
Matthew 5:17 5- In Paul's world Jesus was a liar. Also in Paul's world, the teachings of the disciples were false and bewitchment:
Galatians 3:1-2 For more, please visit: The disciples had conflicts with each other. 6- There is nothing called "Bible". It is not a Divine Book from GOD Almighty, since it is a book that is filled with lies and corruption, even according to itself.
Daniel 7:25 See also the ample prophecies about the new covenant and new Servant
will come from the
desert
of Kedar and Teman in Arabia [2].

Fabricated
Bible: "Then woe
to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say: "This is
from God," to traffic with it for miserable price!-
Woe to them for what their hands do write,
and for the gain they make thereby.

Noble Quran, 2:79)"

Acts 13:52
Acts 2:4
Acts 4:31
2- Why did they have to roll the dice (cast lot) to randomly select Matthias? "Is casting lots gambling? Casting lots or Drawing of lots may refer to: Cleromancy, a form of divination. Lottery, a form of gambling that involves the drawing of numbers for a prize. Sortition, the practice of randomly selecting political officials from a larger pool of candidates." (Source, 2) 3- Isn't this also a form of promoting and/or legitimizing gambling and sorcery and future telling through rolling the dice nonsense, since in the Bible the roll of dice was not only legitimate, but it determined the 12th disciples to replace Judas! 4- So any delusional fool out there could pray in the Name of the Lord and cast lots and whatever the result is is from GOD Almighty?? 5- And who will sit at the Throne in the End? Matthias or Judas? Also visit:
When it came to Collecting Money, the Holy Spirit was all over the place. You'll need to read Acts, chapters 3 thru 6. But here is an example:
Acts 5 So here we have a man who sold a piece of his property and donated some of it for the cause of GOD Almighty. What was the answer to his charitable deed? His heart is filled with satan because he didn't give all of the money of the property's sale. So obviously, all of the Christians today, world-wide without any exception, are liars whose hearts are filled with satan, because they all have possessions and properties that they hold on to. Look at the irony here: When it came to collecting money, the Holy Spirit was all over the place. But when it came to selecting the 12th disciple, they had to roll the dice to pick Matthias by a game of chance. And they lied on GOD Almighty and said that the result of the casting of the lots was from GOD Almighty. But the Holy Spirit was SUPPOSEDLY THERE from the first place! So why couldn't It just speak Matthias' name and be done with it?? The reason this didn't happen is: 1- Because they didn't have the Holy Spirit. 2- They couldn't agree on which candidate to choose as the twelfth disciple, because their heads were empty and were never filled with the Holy Spirit. 3- GOD Almighty would NEVER speak through rolling dice garbage, because it would only add more suspicion and confusion. It undercuts the credibility of the disciples. 4- The authors of the Bible have lied on Jesus and his disciples and their history. Even the Bible's own theologians and historians admit that the Bible's books and gospels:
(a)- Were written by
unknown people. I've provided ample quotes on almost every single gospel and book at: www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm.
Allah Almighty Said in the Noble Quran: "Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say: "This is from God," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby. (The Noble Quran, 2:79)"
