@Arella Mae,
THE ROOT OF TRINTITY LIES IS THIS REPORT-WHEN JESUS-FIRST COMMANDMENT-OUR GOD OUR LORD IS ONE GOD WORSHIP GOD YR LORD AND MY LORD.
Remember Paul's own words:
"All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any."1 Corinthians 6:12
and "And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; To them that are without law, as without law, … I am made all things to all [men], that I might by all means save some."
1 Corinthians 9:20-22.
THE GENUINE DISCIPLE BARNABAS& SEE THE PARTING OF WAYS BETWEEN PAUL AND HIM PROVE THAT]
1.BARNABAS A FAITHFUL DISCIPLE WHO SAT AT THE FEET OF JESUS.
2-PAUL WAS AN ENEMY OF JESUS AT THAT TIME.[NEVER HEARD HIS EXPLANATIONS IN HIS LIFE TIME.
3.BARNABAS ADHERES TO HIS MASTERS VOISE AND STOPS PAUL FROM MAKING INNOVATIONS.
4.PAUL WAS SHREWD LAWYER LIKE ADVANI OF BJP [TOP ORATOR]HIS CAPACITY WAS NO MATCH FOR MEEK AND HUMBLE BARNABAS.OVER TOOK HIM.
5.HE STICKS TO HIS OWN COMPARE JESUS STAND-
"I have come not to abolish them but to fulfill them" (Matthew 5:17).
BARNABAS STAND-
DONT ABOLISH THE LAWS WHICH OUR MASTER FOLLOWED TILL HIS LAST ON EARTH.
PAULS STAND.
"For all who rely o the works of the law are under a curse" (Galatians 3:10); and "you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace" (Galatians 5:4).
This, in Paul's[NOT JESUS] estimation, was beyond God's capabilities. Paul[NOT JESUS]preached that the only way[NOT JESUS] the creator of the heavens and the earth and everything in-between could forgive this sin was to have his sinless "only begotten son" beaten, spat on,stripped, whipped, cut, humiliated, and finally killed [AS PER BIBLE ]
AND ALL THE 4 SUPPOSED GOSPELS WRITERS NOT PRESENT ON CRUCIFICATION EVENT.AS THEY FORSAKE AND FLED WHEN THE MASTER NEEDED THEM MOST.AND TOOK HIM AWAY-
in the most gruesome and drawn-out way known to man at the time; by hanging on the cross, and thus becoming a curse upon mankind.
"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree"
"To do righteousness and justice [is] more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice."
Proverbs 21:3
YOUR SACRIFICE SACRIFICE IS NOT THE CRITERIA FOR DECIDING FAITH[LIKE INDIVIDUAL PAUL] BUT THE TRUE FOLLOWING OF THE JESUS---LAW OF THE PROPHETS.
Was Jesus born on Dec. 25?
Neither the date 25th Dec. nor any other date on Jesus' birth is mentioned in the Bible. It was not until the year 530 C.E. that a monk, Dionysus Exigus, fixed the date of Jesus' birth on Dec. 25th. . "He wrongly dated the birth of Christ according to the Roman system (i.e., 754 years after the founding of Rome) as Dec. 25, 753". (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1998 ed.) This date was chosen in keeping with the holidays already indoctrinated into pagans beliefs. Roman pagans celebrated Dec. 25th as the birth of their 'god' of light, Mithra. "In the 2nd century A..D., it (Mithraism) was more general in the Roman Empire than Christianity, to which it bore many similarities" (The Concise Columbia Encyclopedia, 1995 ed.) Other pagan 'gods' born on Dec. 25th are: Hercules the son of Zeus (Greeks); Bacchus, 'god' of wine (Romans); Adonis, 'god' of Greeks, and 'god' Freyr of Greek-Roman pagans.
