Matthew 7:16 you shall know them by their fruits, does this scripture gives you a clue. For those who believed that the apostle Paul was a scholar, let’s define scholars first before claiming what Paul was. A Scholar is somebody who has a great deal of knowledge, especially an academic who specializes in a particular arts subject.

No offense, but Paul was no scholar. The man went around causing havoc among God’s people and if he really had as much knowledge as people claim him to have, then he would have known who Jesus was through scripture since the old testament does tell you about the coming of Christ and he wouldn’t have been going around doing the things he did. By the way, Paul teaching comes from the old testament books. So instead of saying he was a scholar tell people the truth, Paul was clueless.
It wasn’t until Paul was baptize that Paul received the Holy Spirit and it was the Holy Spirit that was teaching Paul. So the things Paul knew came from The Holy Spirit, not from Paul being a scholar as the church would like you to believe. If anyone should be called a scholar, it would have to be the disciples since they walked with Christ and was taught by Christ.
And to be able to sit down and write books from their experience, now that is what a true scholars, is. But to say that Paul was a scholar is like putting a little leaguer in with the big league.

We had a nine year old boy who came to the mission to preach one day and the boy had a lot of knowledge. reminded me of the apostle Paul cause he just went from scripture to scripture preaching away but at the end of the service, when the guys went to ask the boy some questions, dealing with the things he taught the boy was clueless.

If Paul was here today, I would have questioned his teaching since a lot of his letters are nothing but a big jigsaw puzzle scrambled around from different scriptures out of the old testament. There are letters that Paul writes that if you sat down (in which I did) and went and found where he says it is either written or scripture, it would have been found in all different part of the old testament. And for those who believe Paul to be all mighty with his teaching, he isn’t. cause there are things that Paul says it is written, which isnt even in the bible. Paul was nothing but a man who sat down with a pen and a pad and picked scripture from the old testament to add to his letters including scriptures of his own belief which is not written as he claim.
Paul may have been choosen by Christ, but Paul was also a liar according to his own letters. since not everything Paul claim to be written is found. anyone can sit down with a piece of paper and pen and write the things Paul wrote. the bible tells us to test the spirit and if you read for yourself the things of Paul, you will know that most of the things Paul wrote are taken out of context, words have been subtracted and added from the scripture he has used.
I believe Paul’s letters are what Paul believed but I would never teach most of the things Paul believes since most of the letters are contradicting and rather it was meant to a certain group of people, why in the world would we teach it to everyone if it was not meant for everyone. If we were to remove Paul’s letters from the bible, I believe it would help us to grow and learn the ways of Jesus and not the ways of Paul.
Paul says he doesn’t allow women to preach, that is not any man call since that is not the way nor the truth. and for a man to tell a woman she can’t preach, is not of God and if its not of God then it shouldn’t be taught. God may have used Paul, but he also used Satan.
