We already knew earlier that Barnabas was the one who introduced Paul to the disciples. But what happened afterward was that Paul pushed Barnabas aside from leading the call to Christianity.
It says in the Book of Acts 15:39:
“❌ And there arose a sharp disagreement, so that they separated from each other. And Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.”
❌❌ Paul did not wait long before he also quarreled with Peter, the chief of the disciples, and pushed him aside as well.
He says in Galatians 2:11:
“But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.”
And it is certain that Paul did not recognize the status of Peter, to whom Christ had given the authority to bind and loose as he wished, and whom He appointed as shepherd over His disciples. The Gospel says:
Matthew 16:16–19:
“Simon Peter replied, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’
And Jesus answered him, ‘Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! …
And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.’”
❌❌ There is no need to talk about Paul’s letters, for they are purely personal letters. In some of them he says:
“Now concerning the betrothed, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.” 1 Corinthians 7:25:
Or he says in 1 Corinthians 7:40:
“Yet in my judgment she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I too have the Spirit of God.”
❌❌ He is not even sure of himself whether he has the Spirit of God or not. When words like these come from a man like Paul, they give us terrible doubt about what is found in the New Testament.
Or he says in 1 Corinthians 7:6:
“Now as a concession, not a command, I say this.”
❌❌ And so on with such speculative matters that are completely unsuitable for building a doctrine. His letters also end with talk of peace and exchanging holy kisses with both men and women alike…
For example, he says in Romans 16:12–16:
“❌ Greet those workers in the Lord, Tryphaena and Tryphosa. …
✅ Greet Rufus…
✅Greet Asyncritus…
✅Greet…
✅Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.”
First, prove that you are a Christian, then ask the Muslims
❌Do you pray as Jesus prayed? Or do you pray differently?
Far be it from your prayers to be like the prayer of Christ
❌Christ did not pray with psalms, songs, hymns or any musical instrument, but with a pure prayer that came from his heart with complete mental clarity
Modern Christianity is full of heresies and superstitions and is not the true religion of Christ.
✅ Where is the prayer of his followers today compared to the prayer Christ commanded?
The Church has inserted itself even into the individual's prayer, standing between him and his Lord, just as the Jewish priests and Pharisees did. They neither entered the Kingdom of God themselves nor allowed others to enter.
“13 But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in(Matth 23)
While prayer is meant to be a connection between the worshipper and their Lord, the church stood between them and their Lord, demanding that they pray publicly, after the ringing of its massive bells so that all near and far could hear and see them
This is the exact opposite of what Christ asked, even though he himself had never heard a church bell in his life
Did Christ ask them to pray to the accompaniment of music and hymns?
When Christ wanted to pray, he would withdraw from people and seek a quiet place to pray:
“16 So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed“(Luke 5
“12 Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God (Luke 5
That is to say, prayer does not require all the clamor introduced by Saul and his churches bells, music and hymns—as the pagans prayed
Prayer doesn't require priests, bishops, or incense.
“24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth" (John 4)
❌ Note his statement:
"❌They prostrate themselves"
❌Every rational person should ask themselves, or their priests, where is this prostration that Christ spoke of? Then consider Luke's words above:
“12..and continued all night in prayer to God” (Luke 6)
❌ ✅ 🔴 🟢 ❌ ✅ If he himself is a god, as they claim, does a god pray to a god?! And how many gods are there?!
Your prayer will be answered without music, hymns, or the clamor of bells that Saul introduced into the religion of Christ to lead it far, far away from the path of truth. He is the one who introduced all these heresies and confusions into the religion of Christ.
“19 .. in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord (Ephesians 5)
For Christ did not pray with psalms, songs, hymns, or any musical instrument, but with a pure prayer that came from His heart with perfect clarity of mind.
❌How far, how very far, is their prayer from being like the prayer of Christ!.
Luke tells us about one of the trials Jesus faced when some Jews tried to kill him believing him to be a liar and a deceiver. Jesus fled to the mountain and prayed to God to deliver him from his enemies. Luke says:
"41 And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw,
✅and He knelt down and prayed"
Jesus prays to God in times of distress.. and what a prayer Jesus offers to his Lord! It is the deepest prayer. He kneels on the ground, burying his head and forehead in the dust from which he was created
Then he raises his gaze to heaven, imploring his Creator with humility and awe. He beseeches Him and submits to Him. He prays with the utmost persistence and fervor until he is drenched in sweat, and drops of perspiration, saturated with his blood, fall from his body.
A fervor in prayer, pain, and tears; a humility and submission; a plea and reverence all of which can only be explained by humanity and the bondage that connects Jesus to his Master.
❌ How far, how very far, is their prayer from being like the prayer of Christ!.
