THE APOSTLE PAUL’S MESSAGE
-What was the apostle Paul’s message? Do you know? Are you sure? Before we talk about what his message was, we need
to talk about what his message was not. PAUL DID NOT TEACH A SALVATION FROM EVERLASTING TORTURE IN HELL! Check his writings
for yourself. How many times does the word "hell" appear in his writings ( keep in mind that he wrote about ¾ of the New Testament
)? What is the answer? How about … ZERO!!! … WHAT?
-Paul did use the word "Hades", that could have been translated "hell", and was translated "hell" in other places, but
the King James Version did not translate it "hell" in this case. 1st Corinthians 15:55 states, … O death,
where is your sting? O grave ( "Hades", or "hell" ), WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? … WHAT?
-The English word "grave" in this passage comes from the Greek word "Hades". This same word ( "Hades" ) was translated
"hell" in many other spots, including the PARABLE of Lazarus and the Rich Man. Why did they not translate it as "hell" here?
The reason it was not translated "hell" here, was due to the fact that it would have made their eternal torture and hell-fire
doctrine fall to the ground, and become of no consequence. O HELL, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY?
-"Grave" is actually the correct translation, but the point is … THE KING JAMES TRANSLATORS PICKED AND CHOSE HOW
THEY WANTED TO TRANSLATE A WORD IN ORDER TO MAKE IT FIT THEIR TEACHINGS. YOU CAN NOT DO THAT! YOU MUST MAKE YOUR TEACHINGS
TO CONFORM TO THE BIBLE, AND WHAT THE WORDS MEAN IN THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGES ( Hebrew and Greek ).
-Most church leaders teach a salvation from everlasting torture in a literal fire. Where do they get that from? Surely
they do not get it from the apostle Paul, for he did not teach it. They get it from:
1. THE CARNAL MIND …
2. THE DARK AGES ( AUGUSTINE ) …
3. THE TRADITIONS AND DOCTRINES OF MEN …
4. THE MISTRANSLATION OF THE WORDS "OLAM", "AION", AND "AIONIOS" …
5. THE MISTRANSLATION OF THE WORDS "SHEOL", "HADES", "GEHENNA", AND "TARTAROO"
-So … What was the apostle Paul’s message? Paul spoke of:
-THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION …
-THE IN-GATHERING OF ALL THINGS UNDER THE HEADSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST …
-GOD HAVING MERCY ON ALL …
-ALL DYING IN ADAM …
-ALL BEING MADE ALIVE IN CHRIST, EVERY MAN IN HIS OWN ORDER …
-GOD BEING ALL IN ALL ( EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE ) …
-JUDGMENT, PUNISHMENT, WRATH, AND VENGEANCE FOR THE PURPOSE OF CORRECTION …
-EVERY KNEE BOWING ( A WORSHIPFUL BOW ) …
-EVERY TONGUE CONFESSING JESUS CHRIST AS LORD …
-This is quite different from the everlasting torture and hell-fire gospel ( “so-called” ) of the modern day
church. Paul’s message was TRUTH. Today’s message is TRADITION. Why don’t you check out Paul’s writings
for yourself. I would rather know the truth.
