Why do I believe that Paul is a false apostle Part 1

Yes I said it, to me the Apostle Paul is indeed a false apostle because what he teaches goes against the teaching of Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew 23:9King James Version (KJV)
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

But see what Paul says,

1 Corinthians 4:15-16King James Version (KJV)
15 For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

1 Corinthians 4:15-16New International Version (NIV)
15 Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus

I became your father through the gospel. 16 Therefore I urge you to imitate me.

If you see other bible translation,  Paul say that he is your Father in Lord Jesus Christ and to imitate him,  truth is you can't call anyone your Father other than the heavenly Father, if you call your own dad Father I suppose that is ok, I suppose this is referring to God and also probably in someways spiritual. Also one should not imitate Paul but Lord Jesus Christ himself.

2 Corinthians 12:16King James Version (KJV)
16 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.


2 Corinthians 12:16New International Version (NIV)
16 Be that as it may, I have not been a burden to you. Yet, crafty fellow that I am, I caught you by trickery!


Paul admits himself being crafty and he uses trick or tricks.


1 Corinthians 9:19-23
Also Paul said he become all things unto all men so that people might be saved, now can you imagine if Lord Jesus Christ would ever say such a thing, it's unthinkable to think he would say such a thing. If a person likes to have adultery, imagine if Lord Jesus Christ saying, no problem keep on having adultery because I love you and want you to follow me, so since you do not want stop commiting adultery, I will let you commit adultery so that you can follow me. Can you imagine if Lord Jesus Christ will ever say such a thing?  When a person become all things unto all men means the person will compromise in order to fit the other person. So I don't think Lord Jesus Christ will become all things unto all men. I don't think so he will say such a thing.That is exactly what Paul is doing, When Paul says he is he has became all things unto all men, it means just that which he is a compromiser, he said he will compromise for the sake of preaching the gospel which I think is not the right thing to do.

John 6:66-71King James Version (KJV)
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.


If you look at what I posted from the bible, do you see Jesus going after those disciples that left him and becoming all things unto all his disciples to get acceptance. Of course the answer is no. And if you want to read the entire story in context, then read John 6 to know it in context.


This is good enough to prove Paul as a false apostle if one is truly honest with themselves, 12 apostles and not 13 apostles. You want to know who the 12 apostles is, read the bible yourselves to find out and I am sure that one of them is not Paul.

Revelation 21:14King James Version (KJV)
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.


And if you read the bible enough, you will know who is the 12 apostles, and apostles must be with Lord Jesus Christ while he was on earth and Paul definitely doesn't fit in.

Now talking about Lord Jesus Christ's warning on idol food.

Revelation 2:18-20King James Version (KJV)
18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

Now Paul says it is ok to eat idol food, that time I did not know Paul is a false apostle, I knew what Paul says contradicts what Lord Jesus Christ says. I keep telling myself God cannot contradict himself, God must have meant something else or perhaps it was more than idol food. So anyway, I asked my Christian brethren and they it is more than idol food and most likely is also worshipping the idols and eating idols food. After a while, I view videos online and finally got it that Paul is a false apostle.  Paul says that you can eat idol food in certain circumstances if it doesn't defile the conscience of another brother, but the truth is that if you eat idol food, you will be sinning against God.

1 Corinthians 8

Secondly and this is not my teaching but what I saw from a video, the person said that Jezebel teaches people to commit fornication. According to
Acts 16:14-15, Lydia was from Paul and also from Thyatira and so what she learnt is most likely from Paul. Paul teaches that if an believer divorces a unbeliever the person is not bound to the marriage. But Lord Jesus Christ teaches that who marries a divorce person commits adultery. So the person said most likely this Jezebel could be Lydia, I didn't say she is that Jezebel but she could be that Jezebel and that is according to that teachings on that video and saw and Lydia is from Thyatira and Lord Jesus Christ warned against fornication and idol food to the church in Thyatira.

 1 Corinthians 7:15King James Version (KJV)
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.


Luke 16:18King James Version (KJV)
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

You can also see Lord Jesus Christ warned the Church in Pergamus against idol food.


Revelation 2:14King James Version (KJV)
14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

Lord Jesus Christ also commended the Church in Ephesus for not believing in the false apostles and that warning could also be referring to Paul since he is from Ephesus and 2 Timothy 1:15 where Paul say all in Asia has turned away from him and Ephesus is in Asia and revelation 2:2 which talks about false apostles could also be referring to Paul and Paul himself said all in Asia turned away from him, and since Ephesus is in Asia, that means Ephesus has turned away from him.


Revelation 2:2King James Version (KJV)
I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
 
2


Timothy 1:15King James Version (KJV)
15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.



As in this article, I have written why I think Paul is a false apostle, I may continue part 2 if I have the time to write another article
