Gospel of Paul

Apostle Paul, 40–60 AD.

Paul, an Apostle, Sent Not from Men nor by a Man,

But by Jesus Christ and God the Father.

Cf. Galatians 1:1-5

***

Raising The Dead

Why should any of you consider it incredible that

God Raises the Dead?

***

“I want You to Know, 

The Gospel I Preached is Not of,

“Human Origin.” 

 

“I did Not Receive it From any Man,

Nor was I Taught it; Rather, I Received it By,”

“Revelation from Jesus Christ.”

Cf. Galatians 1:11-12 – Apostle Paul, 40–60 AD.

***

I Too was Convinced that I Ought to

Do all that was Possible to Oppose The,

 

“Name of Jesus.”

 

On the Authority of the Chief Priests,

I put Many of the Lord’s People in Prison,

 

On one of these Journeys,

 

“I saw a Light from Heaven,

Brighter than the Sun, 

Blazing around

Me and my Companions.”

 

We all Fell to the Ground,

I Heard a Voice saying to me in Aramaic,

 

“Saul, Saul,

Why do you Persecute Me?”

 

Then I asked,

 

“Who are you, Lord?”

 

“I Am Jesus,

Whom You Are Persecuting,”

 

“Now get up and Stand on your Feet.

I have Appeared to you to Appoint you as a Servant and as a Witness of what you have seen and will see of me. I will Rescue you from your own People and from the Gentiles.”

“I Am Sending You to Them to

Open Their Eyes,”

 

“To Turn them from Darkness to Light,

From The Power of Satan to God,”

 

“So that They may Receive Forgiveness of Sins And A Place Among Those Who Are Sanctified By Faith In Me.”

Cf. Acts 26:8-18 – Apostle Paul, 40–60 AD.

Paul’s Anguish Over Israel

I Wish That I Myself Were

 

“Cursed,”

 

Cut off from Christ,

for the Sake of My People,

Those of My Own Race,

 

The People of Israel.

From Them is Traced The

Human Ancestry of the

“Messiah”, Who is

“God”

Cf. Romans 9:1-5 – Apostle Paul

Genealogy of Adam

God’s Final Word

***

The Firstborn

The Son is the Image of the Invisible God,

The Firstborn over all Creation.

God was pleased to have all

His Fullness Dwell in Him,

and through him to reconcile to himself all things,

whether things on earth or things in heaven by,

Making Peace Through His Blood,

Shed on the Cross.

Cf. Colossians 1:15-20 (NIV)

***

God’s Final Words

“When God brings his “Firstborn” into the World, he says,

“Let all God’s Angels (Children) Worship Him.”

God’s Final Word

***

In The Last Day’s

“The Spirit Clearly says that in

‘Later Times’

Some will Abandon the Faith Following 

Deceiving (Lying) Spirits,

Things Taught By Demons.” 

Cf. 1 Timothy 4:1 – Apostle Paul

∗∗∗

Let No One Deceive You 

There Is Only One Truth

You are Turning to a Different Gospel,

Which is really No Gospel at all.

 

Evidently some People are Throwing

You into Confusion and are Trying to

Pervert the Gospel of Christ.

 

But Even If We Or An

“Angel” From “Heaven”

Should Preach Another Gospel to You,

Let Them Be Under God’s Curse!

Cf. Galatians 1:6-12 – Apostle Paul, 40–60 AD.

***

The Firstborn Shepherd

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” John 10:27-30 (NIV) -Jesus Christ

***

“I know that After I Leave, 

‘Savage Wolves’

“Will come in Among You and Not Spare
the Flock. Even from Your Own Number,

Men will Arise and Distort the Truth.”

“Men Will Distort The Truth.”

“Be on your Guard!

For Three Years I Never Stopped Warning

Each of you Night and Day with Tears.”

Cf. Acts 20:29-31 – Apostle Paul

***

Resurrection of The Dead

If Christ has not been Raised,

Your Preaching is Useless, 

So is your Faith. 

 

You are Then Found to be

False Witnesses about God, 

 

Your Faith is Futile;

You are Still in your Sins.

 

For Since Death Came Through A Man,

The Resurrection Of The Dead

Comes Also Through A Man.

For As In Adam All Die,

So In Christ All Will Be Made Alive.

But Each In Turn:

Christ, The First-Fruits; Then,

When He Comes,

Those Who Belong To Him.

Cf. 1 Corinthians 15:12-23 – Apostle Paul

***

So it is Written:

“The First Man Adam Became A Living Being”; 

(The Seed)

 

“The Last Adam, A Life-Giving Spirit.” 

(The Plant)

The First Man was of the Dust of the Earth (The Seed);

The Second Man is of Heaven. (The Plant) 

 

The Plant did not come first,

But The Seed,

Then the The Plant.

 

As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the

“Earth”

(The Seed)

 

As is the Heavenly Man, so also are those who are of;

“Heaven”

(The Plant)

Just as we have Borne the Image of the Earthly Man (The Seed), 

So shall we Bear the Image of the Heavenly man (The Plant). 

Flesh and Blood Can NOT Inherit the

 

“Kingdom of God” 

Listen, I tell you a Mystery:

We will not all sleep,

We will all be changed,

 

In a Flash,

 

In the Twinkling of an Eye, at the Last Trumpet.

For the Trumpet will Sound, the Dead will be Raised Imperishable,

For the Perishable must Clothe itself with the Imperishable,

and the Mortal with Immortality.

When the Perishable has been Clothed with the Imperishable,

and the Mortal with Immortality, We will be Changed,

then the saying that is Written will come True:

“Death has been Swallowed up in Victory.”

 

“Where, O Death, is your Victory?

Where, O Death, is your Sting?”

 

The Sting of Death is Sin,

The Power of Sin is the Law.

 

But thanks be to God, 

He gives us the

 

“Victory”

 

Through our Lord,

 

“Jesus Christ.”

Cf. 1 Corinthians 15:35-57 – Apostle Paul

***

Wake Up Sleeper!

This is why it is said:

“Wake up, Sleeper, Rise from the Dead,

and Christ will Shine on You.”

Ephesians 5:14 – Apostle Paul

***

“Adam Was Formed First, Then Eve.”

“For Adam was Formed First, then Eve.

And Adam was Not the one Deceived;

it was the Woman who was Deceived and became a sinner.”

1 Timothy 2:13-14

***

Promised To One Husband

I hope you will put up with me in a little

 

“Foolishness.”

 

Yes, please put up with me!

I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy.

I promised you to one Husband, to Christ,

So that I might present you to Him as a

 

Pure Virgin.

But I am afraid that just as Eve

Was deceived by the serpent’s cunning,

Your minds may somehow be led astray from Christ.

WARNING!

For if someone Preaches a

JESUS other than the JESUS We Preached,

Or if you Receive a Different Spirit from the Spirit you Received,

Or a Different Gospel from the one We Preached,

“You put up with it easily enough.” 

Cf. 2 Corinthians 11:1-4,

WARNING NOTE: Apostle Paul Wrote 2 Corinthians, c. 40–60 AD.
*** This is not the Gospel Christians preach today. This is the Gospel Paul preached almost 2000 years ago! Paul Warned that people would distort the truth! Apostle Peter also warned that people will distort what Paul said in his writings ” to their own destruction” Cf. 2 Peter 3:16 ***

***

Love and Sacrifice

Christ loved the church

He gave Himself up for Her.

 

To make Her Holy,

Cleansing Her by the 

Washing with Water through the Word,

To Present Her to Himself as a 

Radiant Church, 

Without Stain or Wrinkle 
or any other Blemish, but 

Holy and Blameless.

 

He who Loves his Wife, Loves Himself.

No one ever Hated their own Body, They Feed and Care for their Body, Just as Christ does the Church.

For we are Members of his Body.

 

 

“For this reason a Man will leave his father and mother and be United to his Wife, and the Two will become one Flesh.”

 

This is a profound mystery,

But I am talking about,

“Christ and the Church.” 

Cf. Ephesians 5:25-32

***

This is why it is said:

“You do not realize now what I am doing,

but later you will understand.”

 

“Unless I Wash You,

You Have No Part With Me.”

Cf. John 13:1-17 – Jesus Christ
***

The World Considered Him Punished by God

God made Him who had no Sin 

to be Sin for us,

 

So that We Might Become The

Righteousness of God.

Cf. 2 Corinthians 5:21

Note: The act of Luke 22:35-38 is in reference to Isaiah 53

***

The Day of the Lord

“The Day of the Lord will come

like a Thief in the Night.”

While people are saying,

“Peace and Safety,”

Destruction will come on them Suddenly,

As Labor Pains on a Pregnant Woman, and

They will Not Escape.

But you, Brothers and Sisters, are Not in Darkness.

This Day should Not Surprise You Like a Thief because,

You

Are

All

“Children of the Light,”

Cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 – Apostle Paul
***

Reasons for Writing

I am writing to you, dear children,
because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.
I am writing to you, fathers,
because you know him who is from the beginning.
I am writing to you, young men,
because you have overcome the evil one.

I write to you, dear children,
because you know the Father.
I write to you, fathers,
because you know him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
because you are strong,
and the word of God lives in you,
and you have overcome the evil one.
