"It is of great importance to straighten out this inverting of the relationship, criticizing Christ by Paul, the Master by the disiple." Kierkegaard, My Task (1855)

Gary Says Ananias' Quoting Jesus Proves Paul's Validity

Gary's Letter of October 15, 2010

God himself chose Paul and said: Acts 9:15-16 "But the Lord said to him,: and "Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name's sake."

I'd say that sticking to Paul's teachings, that have withstood both tests and trials throughout two millennia, is better than to hold on to what some theologian has to say (Quote 2).

My Reply

As to the quote in Acts 9:15, how do you know Ananias is a prophet? I point out in my book that there is 0% evidence. In all other Scripture, a prophet must be proven, and not assumed. God gives specific tests so we are not misled, e.g., Deut. 13:1-5.

Thus, based upon a claim of Ananias as a prophet you then invest someone else who has no proof of prophecy -- Paul -- and you by circular evidence have made Paul a prophet by means of an unsubstantiated assumption that Ananias is a prophet.

This is unbiblical reasoning.... What do you think proves a prophet?

Blessings,
Doug
