The letter-writer wanted me to read this man\u2019s arguments against Paul, and then respond to them.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Like this letter-writer, many folks who are coming to a Hebraic and pro-Torah<\/div>\n<div>understanding of the NT are finding themselves questioning many once cherished belief systems that they learned in the church. What should be our approach as we separate the wheat from the chaff?\u00a0Here is how I answered the letter:<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>You raised some important issues, and if you don&#8217;t mind, I&#8217;m going to take this bull by the horns. You\u2019re a searching and truth-seeking man. This is good, but this also puts you in a vulnerable spot. While going through the process of separating truth from error, good from evil, many people get confused and toss out the wheat for the chaff. With the advent of the internet, now anybody can seem like an expert and put anything out there and sway people one way or another. It\u2019s shark infested waters. It\u2019s not always easy to differentiate between the good, the bad and the ugly.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div><strong>Here are some guidelines that I follow <\/strong>that have helped me to navigate these difficult waters back to our Hebraic roots of the Christian faith.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>To start with, I rarely read the writings of or visit the websites of those proclaiming strange doctrines (e.g. Paul was a heretic, so toss out his writings). In the interest of open mindedness and the search for truth, why wouldn\u2019t I? First, whose got the time? There is no end to the new winds of doctrine that are blowing around (Eph 4:14), and as a very wise man once said, of the making of books there is no end (Eccl 12:12). Lastly, one can spend all one\u2019s time spinning one\u2019s wheels and go nowhere. Nowadays, any wanna-be teacher who has a computer terminal, and with the help of Google, can crank out whacky ideas and throw them out to the world resulting in the beguiling of unstable souls. The devil must be having a heyday, but that doesn\u2019t mean I have to read it all!<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-652\" style=\"color: inherit; font: normal normal normal 15px\/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.625; border-style: solid; border-color: #dddddd; float: left; display: inline; margin-right: 1.625em; height: auto; max-width: 97.5%; margin-bottom: 1.625em; border-width: 0px; padding: 6px;\" title=\"19885622\" src=\"http:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/19885622-300x192.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/19885622-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/19885622-467x300.jpg 467w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/19885622.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div>It is my understanding that bank tellers who handle money are not taught to study the gazillion forms of counterfeit currency out there. That\u2019d take forever, and new counterfeits are always arising, so who can keep up with it? On the other hand, they are taught to become familiar with the real stuff\u2014its look, texture, feel, etc., etc., so that when a counterfeit bill comes along, they can spot it immediately because it\u2019s not like the real stuff.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>Okay, that having been said, I spend most of my time studying the Bible and not every wind of doctrine. As such, I have arrived at certain doctrinal and spiritual perimeters that for me are immutable. I have hills upon which I\u2019ve planted my flag and will fight and die on. Anything that goes against these basic tenets of my faith I flat out reject!<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div><strong>These basic doctrinal tenets, which are all salvational in nature:<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<ol>\n<li>The Bible is the Word of Elohim from Genesis to Revelation (including the writings of Paul). Anyone who rejects this, I reject and don\u2019t even give them the time of day.<\/li>\n<li>I believe that Elohim (the \u201cGodhead\u201d) is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I don\u2019t try to define the \u201cGodhead\u201d beyond that, for it\u2019s beyond human understanding to do so. I believe what the Bible says with a simple childlike faith and leave it at that.<\/li>\n<li>Yeshua is the Son part of Elohim, and is the Son of the Father part of Elohim. Therefore, as the Messiah, he is Elohim incarnate, born of a virgin, lived, died and resurrected and is now interceding for us at the right hand of the Father, and his second coming is imminent.<\/li>\n<li>Yeshua as the Messiah lived a sinless life and died on the cross to pay for my sins. I am saved by Elohim\u2019s grace through faith in Yeshua the fruits of which in my life must be the good works of Torah-obedience. If I love him, I will keep his Torah-commands (John 14:15).<\/li>\n<li>Torah is for everyone\u2014all Jews and non-Jews. Period.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>Again, anything that goes against these basic salvational truths, I flat out reject. On non-salvational issues, people should learn to agree to disagree without being disagreeable.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Furthermore, with regard to the inviolable nature of the NT canon as we have it today, I invite you to read my paper on the NT canon. It proves that John before his death canonized the NT as we have it including the writings of Paul. Here&#8217;s the link:\u00a0<a title=\"New Testament Canon (full)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoshanarabbah.org\/pdfs\/nt_canon_full.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.hoshanarabbah.org\/pdfs\/nt_canon_full.pdf<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>The bottom line for me<\/strong> is that I know that the Bible works intact as is. It all fits together, and can\u2019t be broken for many reasons. My article explains some of these reasons. The Bible comes as a package and contains the imprimatur of the Divine. What\u2019s more, it has been my observation that those who are trying to break up the biblical canon don\u2019t have the kind of godly fruits in their lives to lead me to believe that they\u2019re godly, holy, righteous, Yeshua-like people. If they lack these fruits, then their theology will automatically be off, for by their fruits\u00a0we must judge them in righteousness (Matt 7:15\u201320 cp. John 7:24). Their fruits reveal what\u2019s on the inside of them. Bad fruits mean there\u2019s something evil on the inside.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-653\" title=\"Paul writing NT\" src=\"http:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Paul-writing-NT1-300x243.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Paul-writing-NT1-300x243.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Paul-writing-NT1-369x300.jpg 369w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Paul-writing-NT1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div>Yes, Paul is difficult to understand. Even Peter said that. The more I study Torah and Paul, the more he makes sense to me. He was brilliant beyond belief, which is why YHVH used him as he did. Presently, I now find no part of Paul difficult to understand, but I used to. \u00a0Be assured, one\u2019s inability to understand Paul shouldn\u2019t necessitate tossing him out from the NT canon. It means simply that we don\u2019t understand him and we need to keep studying and seeking the answers until we get them. Trust me! The answers will come.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>What\u2019s more, it doesn\u2019t help that we have English Bibles that were translated by scholars who took a dim view of Torah, and believed that Paul came to \u201cfree\u201d us from the Torah. Their biases come through in their translations. That\u2019s why a knowledge of Greek and even Aramaic can be helpful in getting to the bottom of some of the linguistic confusion.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I hope this helps you.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In Yeshua\u2019s Service,<\/div>\n<div>Natan Lawrence<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Can We Trust Paul?',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2012\/04\/24\/can-we-trust-paul\/',contentID: 'post-650',suggestTags: 'Paul',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, I received an email from a gentleman who had come across a website claiming that the Apostle Paul was an anti-Torah heretic, and that all of Paul\u2019s books should be eviscerated from the Testimony of Yeshua (NT).
