If this is today’s Christianity, then such Christianity was founded in what is believed to be the writings of St. Paul' NOT Jesus. However St. Paul said “I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:11".

Yet modern New Testament scholars are all in agreement that Paul was not the author of all the -14- apostles that was attributed to him for more than 19- centuries. Did Paul receive any revelation from Christ? for answers we will examine Paul's' records in the Bible.

Where did Paul go after Jesus' first encounter?

During the encounter Paul said Jesus ordered him “Go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do. 11 my companions led me by the hand into Damascus, because the brilliance of the light had blinded me.” Acts 22:10-11

Shockingly Paul gave a totally contradictory story to the Galatians stating: “But when God, who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace, was pleased 16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not consult any man, 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.” Galatians 1:15-17

Who taught making a living from preaching?

Paul quoted Jesus by saying: “The Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.” 1 Corinthians 9:3 {for more info See 2 Corinthians 11:5-15}

Jesus said “As you go, preach this message: The kingdom of heaven is near. ... Freely you have received, freely give. Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts; take no bag for the journey, or extra tunic, or sandals or a staff; for the worker is worth his keep.” Matthew 10:7-10 Nowhere in the Bible was Jesus quoted with a different teaching.

The Mystery of Salvation?

Jesus said "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." Matthew 5:17

Paul said “For he {JESUS} himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,15 by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations."Ephesians 2:14

Amazingly when a man asked Jesus: "what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?" (Jesus answered)... keep the commandments." Matthew 19:17

Yet Paul said “All who rely on observing the law are under a curse. 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree (crucified)." Galatians 3:10 "I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!" Galatians 2:21 God gave the Jew's a law: "for a hanged man is accursed by God Deuteronomy 21:23".Is the Christ cursed by Gods own law?

Is it possible that Jesus picked a cursed man to baptize Paul and to give him his sight? Paul himself said on Acts 22:12 "A man named Ananias came to see me. He was a devout observer of the law and highly respected by all the Jews living there. He stood beside me and said, 'Brother Saul, receive your sight!'". Note that three years after Jesus, Ananias has no knowledge that Jesus died to save those who believed in him from the curse of the law?

Christians must wake up!!!

Shocking Additions in the Bible

Today we have over 5700 manuscripts copies of the 27 books in the New Testament. Bible manuscripts scholars says that no two are identical; in fact more than 3000 manuscripts were discovered in the last 2 centuries. This discovery forced the scholars to separate them to two groups

Most ancient manuscript {Written 200-400 years after Jesus}
Ancient manuscript {Written 400-600 years after Jesus}

Note: The following verses are not found in any of the most ancient manuscripts.

Matthew 6:13: ... For the kingdom and the power and the glory are yours forever. Amen.

Matthew 12:47: Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you."

Matthew 17:21: "However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."

Matthew 19:11: For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost. Matthew 19:9: ... and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery."

Matthew 21:44: And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.

Matthew 23:14: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

Mark 7:16: If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

Mark 11:26: “But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses."

Mark 15:28: So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And He was numbered with the transgressors."

Mark 16:9: “Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons. 10 She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept. 11 And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe. 12 After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country. 13 And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either. 14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." 19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.”

Luke 9:55: ...and said, "You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. 56For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them." ....

Luke 17:36: Two will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.

Luke 22:19: ... which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.”(taken from 1 Corinthians 11:24)

Luke 23:17: “For it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast” Luke 24:6: “He is not here, but is risen! ...

Luke 24:12: “But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at what had happened.”

Luke 24:40: “When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet”

Luke 24:52 And they worshiped Him, ....

Luke 24:51 ...and carried up into heaven.

John 5:4: “For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had”

John 8:1-11: But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2Now early in the morning He came again into the temple and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. 3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, 4 they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do you say?" 6This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. 7 So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." 8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?" 11She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."

Acts 9:37: Then Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."

Acts 15:34: However, it seemed good to Silas to remain there.

Acts 24:7-8: But the commander Lysias came by and with great violence took him out of our hands, 8commanding his accusers to come to you. ..

Acts 28:29: And when he had said these words, the Jews departed and had a great dispute among themselves.

Romans 16:24: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Slavery started from ARAB, Egypt before white man came to african.the arabian histry told us that A BLACK MAN was made by God as slave to serve the arabians or white man or white skin.Remenber there is black skin in arab or north Africa too. Slavery started from North Africa or Sundan and arabians thats why sudanese dont really like the dark skins because God made them slave for the Arabians and they dont deserve to mix we them, thats why JANJAWEED a sudanese terrorist from arab always targeted black skin sudanese.

Dear Sir, you seem not to have read the first part of my article properly. You probably just browsed thru it due to the set of mind you have. But if you come out of the box and read it again, I am putting it that ARABISM does not mean ISLAAM. And what a one Muslim does does not necessarily imply what ISLAAM stands for. To be able to discuss this fairly we all have to go back to the teachings of ISLAAM from it's source. If one buys a MERCEDEZ and crushes it on the first day. Do I blame MERCEDEZ as a Company or I blame a foolish or untrained driver. So If even a Muslim does anything wrong, I do not trace it to ISLAAM except if what he has done is in the Qur'aan and Sunnah, and explained to that effect by proper scholars. So the actions of some Muslims do not have to be traced to Islaam. To summerize.

Forget ego issues and embrace the truth,and I think counter ideas should be directed to the points made by the author,and this is supposed to be a platform where truth battles it out with truth,the only difference is what the various parties conceives as truth,but then our failure to accept the truth is a betrayal of our conscience,and perhaps of our very existence!

The entire drama of Christianity is taken form the pagan mystery religions of Egypt, Rome and Greece. Here are similarities between the Egyptian god Horus and Jesus.
1. Sirius, the morning star of Egypt, heralded the birth of Horus.
2. Horus was baptized in the River Eridanus by a god figure name Anup, who was later decapitated.
3. Horus has no history between the ages of twelve and thirty.
4. Horus walked on water, cast out demons and healed the sick.
5. Horus was transfigured on a mountain.
6. Horus delivered a Sermon on the Mount to his followers.
7. Horus was crucified between two thieves, buried in a tomb and resurrected. His personal epithet was Iusa, the ever becoming son of Ptah, or the Father.
8. Horus was the good Sheppard, the lamb of God, the bread of life, the son of man, the Word, and the fisher.
9. Horus was the Way, the Truth and the Life.
10. Horus was called the Lord by name.
11. Horus was to reign for one thousand years.
12. Horus came to seed and to save what was lost.
13. On his resurrection Horus shouts. “The goddesses and the women proclaim me when they see me on the horizon of resurrection.
Paul and his followers, to attract the Greek, Roman and Egyptian pagans, simply took the story of Horus, removed his name, and replaced it with Jesus. In fact, the name of Jesus with the J pronounced as an H, is almost identical to Horus. This is why Jesus warned his disciples to confine their preaching to the Israelites and not to go to the Gentiles. He knew they would take his message corrupt it to the point where it would become unrecognizable.

Therefore, Paul represents that root that emits poison and the one who is considered the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. He had no authority or right to change the covenant between Moses and God and to preach to the Jews to abandon the law, regardless of he attempted to rationalize this concept.

during prophet mohammed's(s.a.w) era,here were three major groups,the idolators,the jews and the christians.it was idolators who tortured muslims in mecca and they escape to madina,but they still pursue them which resulted in battles,even the jews and the christians were protected by the muslims.we muslims dont recognise christians as enemy but they rather make the battles to appear as if it is them,in that case we will assume that they are those who tortured the muslims and still pusue them.
Also today war is between the west and the arabs and as usual the christians made it appear as if it is against them and if the war is against christians dont we have cristians in germany,spain,sweden,denmark etc,why were they not targetted and rather the u.s.why are the u.s not in good terms with russia,north korea,china and the likes of germany always distance itself from their actrocities,which countries were involved in both the first and second world war where millions of people lost their lives,which country bombed japan,vietnam,cuba,afghanistan,irag and a host of other nations,which countries are supllying weapons to syria,egypt and liblya to kill each other,which country is supplying weapons to israel to continue to massacre palestinians,which country facilitated many coup which took place in many countries in cluding the overthrow of pur only kwami nkruma,the list goes on,it is this oppression that the arabs are resisting and if christians think they are the oppressor,then the battle continues because the arabs are not ready to give in.

Jesus,Heavenly Or Earthly?

At the time of Jesus some of The Children of Israels' envisioned a Christ who will destroy the Romans and set them free. In fact, they had a history of accepting prophets who gave them material and earthly gains and rejecting the ones who call for heavenly purposes only. However, Jesus came only for a heavenly cause, and did not offer material or earthly gains, therefore the Children of Israel became suspicious whether he is the Christ.

Their suspicion was obvious in John chapter 8:12-59 were we see the longest challenging debate where it is very clear the Jews were thinking about material and earthy things, but Jesus is clearly thinking about heavenly calls through his word, for he said “I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death. John 8:51”

Jesus is talking about the death that matters to God, a spiritual death {separation from God} but the Jews are thinking physical death, as we clearly see in the way they replied angrily by saying: "Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that if anyone keeps your word, he will never taste death. 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?" Jesus replied: "Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad."

I’m asking how did Abraham see Jesus days?. Because he Abraham is not dead spiritually he is alive in God's spiritual kingdom for God himself said “I am the God of Abraham ... God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Matthew 22:32”

Not surprisingly the Jews misunderstood Jesus again saying "You are not yet fifty years old .., "and you have seen Abraham!" John 8:57” it is very CLEAR the Jews are talking about seeing Abraham in the flesh, but Jesus was talking about the spirit of Abraham and himself been spiritually alive in God and seeing each other through the heavenly revelation they both delivered .

For that is the reason Jesus replied "I tell you the truth ...* before Abraham was born, I AM!*" in other words before Abraham came into existence in the flesh my heavenly revelation existed with God.

Shockingly in the original Greek gospel, Jesus used the word (???????- ginomai) which means "to come into being", see the proof LINK. In other words Jesus could also be saying it was God's intentions for me and Abraham to be spiritually alive even through physical death.

In fact the bible teaches that all of God's messengers were made prophets before they existed in the flesh, as in “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. Jeremiah 1:4-5".

In reality the gospel is telling us that the Jews only see flesh and material but Jesus was all for the heavenly cause. With such an understanding one can now clearly understand John 10:30 "I and the father are one" when one take it out of context it will seem to indicate that Jesus is saying he is equal to God, but in true eastern Semitic context Jesus is saying that he and God are one in purpose.

I have lived in Malaysia 10years and I know the people and the situation and the religions well.

All I would say is that I wish you had lived a while in Malaysia. That Allah Issue in Malaysia is NOT about Allah or about God. Its about the socio-political reality of Malaysia. You cannot understand it if you have not lived in Malaysia a while. The Court was right and very right. dont you see that on that bbc program almost all the Asians including the on-muslim supported the ruling.

Its like you silly drone ghanaians pretending and lieing always that everything is right in Ghana and there is peace, when in actual fact you are sitting on religious, tribal, social, political and etc. bombshell.

Malaysians also go for what gives the peace and HARMONY. MOST IMPORTANTLY THEY ARE NOT DRONES AND EURO-WORSHIPPING LIKE YOU. THEY ARE NOT SO FOOLISH LIKE YOU TO THINK THAT THE DOGS OF EUROPE ARE THEIR MASTERS.

Please can we leave our Lord Jesus out of this. I suggest the we Christians propagate the gospel instead of engaging in unnecessary debates and arguments.

"For God so loved the world He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believe in Him would not perish, but have eternal life" John 3:16.

The message is for whosoever believes, for we know from the garden of Eden and Abraham's encounter with God to sacrifice Isaac these main facts:

1. Man fell through sin.
2. The wages of sin is death: Romans 6:23
3. God demonstrate His extraordinary love by offering His own Son as a sacrifice as opposed to the Son of Abraham
4. Because of this price paid God's salvation has comes as a free gist for those who believe in Jesus as 'more than a prophet'
5. Let those that are ignorant keep underrating this offer from God. Our job is not to argue with them but pray that God will perhaps reveal this mystery unto them
6. Please there is no need argue as by doing so, not a single soul is save by these insults and arguments
