:) no offense

let's set this as an healthy discussion


Again, you comments that it is inspired by god!

It doesn't answer the question about "HOW do you know?"

Why do you think the devil can't inspired him to write that book?

Guys, you're trying to be logic to comment this, and I am not yet touch the book contect to logic structure yet



peace

I think he was inspired by his religious experience, which is not the same thing as being inspired by God. Which again is not the same thing as writing as God's words.

Paul was an Apostle. To be an Apostle you have to have seen the ressurrecetd Christ. All the New Testament was written by Apostles with the exception of Gospel of Mark who was the close associate of Peter the Apostle , and Luke and Acts which were written by Luke a close associate of Paul Paul saw him on the road to Damascus. Also Paul preached the same Gospel As Jesus Christ ,who is God. So the words of Paul are no less the word of God than Moses, Jesus, Isaiah, Elijah and etc.

No, because Paul was probably the greatest, or one of the greatest, christians to ever live. Also God needed someone around that time to help establish His church. Oh and christians believe that the entire Bible, including the books written by Paul, were all inspired by God.

--THE WORD "INSPIRED' appears in one place in the Greek Scriptures NT, and Paul expressed it under inspiration"

(2 Timothy 3:16) “. . .All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness,”

--THIS word Inspired is very different(in that the Bibles expression means "GOD BREATHED') from an ordinary idea of inspiration that an artist , muscian etc. has, because those do not have the source of inspiration behind them as the Bible has, namely Jehovah God!

--PLEASE NOTE a commentary on inspiration:

*** it-1 pp. 1202-1203 Inspiration ***

--The quality or state of being moved by or produced under the direction of a spirit from a superhuman source. When that source is Jehovah, the result is a pronouncement or writings that are truly the word of God. The apostle Paul stated at 2 Timothy 3:16: “All Scripture is inspired of God.” The phrase “inspired of God” translates the compound Greek word the·o′pneu·stos, meaning, literally, “God-breathed” or “breathed by God.”
--This is the only occurrence of this Greek term in the Scriptures. Its use here clearly identifies God as the Source and Producer of the Sacred Scriptures, the Bible. Their being “God-breathed” finds some parallel in the expression found in the Hebrew Scriptures at Psalm 33:6: “By the word of Jehovah the heavens themselves were made, and by the spirit [or breath] of his mouth all their army"......

***How Writers Received Divine Direction.
As the apostle states, God spoke “in many ways” to his servants in pre-Christian times. (Heb 1:1, 2) In at least one case, that of the Ten Commandments, or Decalogue, the information was divinely supplied in written form, merely requiring copying into the scrolls or other material used by Moses. (Ex 31:18; De 10:1-5) In other cases, information was transmitted by verbal dictation, word for word. When presenting the large body of laws and statutes of God’s covenant with Israel, Jehovah instructed Moses: “Write down for yourself these words.” (Ex 34:27) The prophets also were often given specific messages to deliver, and these were then recorded, forming part of the Scriptures.—1Ki 22:14; Jer 1:7; 2:1; 11:1-5; Eze 3:4; 11:5.

Among still other methods used for conveying information to the Bible writers were dreams and visions. Dreams, or night visions as they were sometimes called, evidently superimposed a picture of God’s message or purpose on the mind of the sleeping person. (Da 2:19; 7:1) Visions given while the person was conscious were an even more frequently used vehicle of communication of God’s thoughts to the mind of the writer, the revelation being impressed pictorially upon the conscious mind. (Eze 1:1; Da 8:1; Re 9:17) Some visions were received when the person had fallen into a trance. Though conscious, the person apparently was so absorbed by the vision received during the trance as to be oblivious to all else around him.—Ac 10:9-17; 11:5-10; 22:17-21; see VISION.

Angelic messengers were used on many occasions to transmit the divine messages. (Heb 2:2) Such messengers played a larger part in the transmission of information than is at times apparent. Thus, whereas the Law given to Moses is presented as spoken by God, both Stephen and Paul show that God used his angels in transmitting that legal code. (Ac 7:53; Ga 3:19) Since the angels spoke in Jehovah’s name, the message they presented could therefore properly be called “the word of Jehovah.”—Ge 22:11, 12, 15-18; Zec 1:7, 9.

No matter what the particular means employed for the transmission of the messages, all parts of the Scriptures would be of the same quality, all of them being inspired, or “God-breathed.

--PLEASE UNDERSTAND that anything aside from God's direct inspiration of Paul or any of the other 39 biographers of the Bible , is all that was inspired.
--WHEN THEY functioned in their personal lives and maybe wrote other things , those were not authored by God!

Well first and foremost in your mind is that the writer of Acts who was Luke a physician, wrote about Paul's conversion to the God of Christianity. You have to realize at first that Paul was Jewish and saw Christianity as not a true Word of God movement. He had the religious authority to do that.

But as in most Christian's case, although his was exceptional, He met Jesus Christ personally on the road to Damascus and from then on the gospel he preached was God's gospel. It was the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ in whose Spirit all believers must have to live victorious Christian lives.

Well seeing as how I trust that God is big enough to manage what is proclaimed as HIS word for almost 4,000, then I think he can handle this. Other people come along and say something different every so often but, he sees to it that it is found out as trash in little time.

That would depend completely on what your view of "The Church" is.

If you believe that the Church is indeed the Body of Christ, indwelt with the Holy Spirit on the Fist Pentecost...and in whom that same Holy Spirit dwells when She meets in Council...then...

You believe that the Church set the Canon of Scripture...deciding in Her Wisdom that Paul's writings were indeed Holy Scripture.

It can be relatively easily detected as a fake. How you ask? Whatever is written that does NOT match every reference in the established record will quickly be dismissed. Paul's writings have passed this test.

GOD bless

Do you mean Saul, alias Paul, the false apostle? He never met Jesus. For all we know he may have issued the arrest warrant for him. Wasn''t that his job? The funny thing is he is the only one who's existence has any proof.

Well, Paul never had seen Jesus and on the road to Damascus,Jesus blinded Him and asked His why to you persecute me? He still could not see Jesus,He could hear Him but not see...After that He walked with Jesus,even though He could never see Him,,you know just like Christians do..The Holy Spirit told Paul all about Jesus...
