Paul and Jesus: How The Apostle Transformed Christianity - Professor James D. Tabor 

➡📚Get his book! amzn.to/43HTJyl

The ABCs of Paul's Christianity are Accept, Believe, and Confess. The ABCs of the the faith of Jesus and James are Actions, Behavior, and Conduct.

Paul thought he knew more than G-d, and changed the meanings of the scriptures to suit his gospel.

Another excellent episode. Dr Tabor is always informative and easy to listen to.

James Tabor always a great listen!

Great content here! I love studying the early church. Since most of today's Christians are followers of Paul, it's a really important topic in studying how we got where we are. I recommend watching at 150% speed, though. Dr. Tabor is a slow talker.

Paul is America's Jesus, because he taught them to "sin every Friday night and Saturday night, then repent every Sunday morning".

What Jacob does well is let people talk. Great guest.

What I wanna know is, if Paul was really being taught by Jesus in these visions, why was he wrong about the transformation of the cosmos happening during his lifetime?

What I like about Tabor is that the guy just doesn't give a fuck, lmao. No matter what you ask, he'll talk about whatever he wants, for however long he wants, and his interviewers are always powerless to stop him.

I had the opportunity to first hear Dr. Tabor speak in Houston on the dead sea scrolls along with Dr. Robert Eisemann at Rice University. Have read many of his books. A very respectable scholar.

Dr. Tabor gives very insightful data.

The New Testament is Paul's views on the ramifications of Jesus' resurrection.

Paul’s announcement or gospel: Jesus died, was raised from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will return very soon ushering in the kingdom of God. Of course, he was wrong, but I think he really believed it at the time.

The best advice I have ever received is from Paul in ll Timothy 2:15 “ Study to show thyself approved unto God a workman that need not be ashamed , RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH . When we read the Bible , keep in mind , who is writing and who is the intended audience

My biggest problems with Paul are twofold. Firstly, he enshrined many the norms that made it possible for Christians to align themselves with social and political Conservatism. Secondly, he just comes through as a horrible person. Look at Gal 2: "But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him in public, because he was clearly wrong. Before some men who had been sent by James arrived there, Peter had been eating with the Gentile believers. But after these men arrived, he drew back and would not eat with the Gentiles, because he was afraid of those who were in favor of circumcising them. The other Jewish believers also started acting like cowards along with Peter; and even Barnabas was swept along by their cowardly action. When I saw that they were not walking a straight path in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you have been living like a Gentile, not like a Jew. How, then, can you try to force Gentiles to live like Jews?” Just imagine the sort of person who would humiliate and embarrass a leader of a community in such a way - openly and in front of everyone, in front of the very people who follow and respect him, moreover, write all of this down in case someone didn't get it through gossip! I never hated anyone so intensely to even consider doing something this nasty to him!

We even don’t know who wrote Gospels not only James’s letter.

Surely Paul was giving: "The School of Hillel" doctrine, rather than Jesus, (Hillel died around the birth of Jesus). Paul "Studied at the feet of Gamaliel", (the Grandson of Hillel). Opposite The School of Hillel was Shammai. Students of Shammai murdered some of Hillel. Unless you know this, which is VERY well known to current Jews studying The First Century, you have no context. Hillel and Shammai were the last of six pairs called Zugots. I believe Paul pushed his Hillel learning, passing it off as Jesus's teachings.

My study of the illuminazis has lead me here to Paul. I believe he was a guardian of the mysteries.

Tabor attempts to understand the (various) messages of Chrsitianity as part of his reasearch while many scholars unfortunately skip over this. To fully understand the history one cannot skip the messages!

James taught Social Justice.

Dr. Tabor As always you are phenomenal You put the essence of true Judaism and the teachings of prophets, very much in line with Christianity of the early Christian movement, which Muslim scholars would agree is very much in line with the teachings of Islam At all levels theologically and how humans are to act in accordance to the Creator Worth a best seller discussing all the parallels You may want to collaborate with Ali Ataie at Zaytuna

It is complicated, but what I see quite clearly is that dr. Tabor succeeds in assigning parts of the Bible to specific historical figures, refuting mythicism or any versions of it.

If Jesus' message was so critical to salvation, then why didn't he write it down so the truth wouldn't be left to chance? Or did he appoint Paul to write it down because Jesus couldn't write?

Even when I was a believer, I thought Paul felt like a classic con-man. All of his writings have the feel of a layer of slime over them, really deceptive. I don't understand why people like him so much.

I wonder if some of these characters from antiquity were little more than flim-flam men. That would explain a lot.

Great video n James Tabor is Brilliant.

Thank you for this discussion! Very enlightening!

Jimmy, you left out "Suffered under Pontius Pilate". I mean, its missing from the book you are reading. Pontius Pilate fucking anchors the Apostle's Creed in history, Speaking as a combat crazed Vietnam vet, The Apostles Creed is the perfect soldier's confession, It is dimple, it is direct, covers all the bases, Is unadorned and without the ruffles and flourishes of the Nicene Prayer, which is the product of a committee ordered to include everyone. Your academics has a deliberate political bias and/or virtually no capacity for literature, The space between Born of the Virgin Mary and Crucified, Dead and Buried, with or without "Suffered Under Pontius Pilate" is filled by Peter's confession of Christian doctrine coming directly out of Penta cot in Acts 10:34 - 43, The mundane numerology is one of my favorite examples of the Acts of the Apostles being the playground of the Holy Spirit, 34 and 43 both reduce to 7 that, in this particular instance, operate like cosmic quotation makes: it's something God really wants you to pay attention to. Shit like this is all through the entire Bible, but especially in the Gospels becaue one of the things Jesus was trying to do was to promote the Holy Spirit as a Supernatural reality available universally, Jesus reduced the entire Jewish theory of sin to one specific error in thinking of the denial of the Holy Spirit, which is a form of suicide by a thousand cuts, self inflicted. Now, I can only speak as an individual combat crazed Vietnam vet, but "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" worked pretty goo under fire. If the only thing you could do was to wait it out, going to sleep was wise. For all intents and purpose, Cornelius is Quelle, The portrait of Pilate in all four gospels is based on his eyewitness testimony to each of the other versions, The written record of Jesus begins before Jesus takes command of the John the Baptist Followers and made them Jesus Followers., which the Roman soldiers from the 10 Legion referred to as Christians. The soldiers in Judea were using the term at least 9 years before it gets to Antioch and 31 years before the Jesus Followers began to adopt the slander "Christian as the Red Badge of Courage and Faith. I've known since at least Misquoting Jesus came out that the Evangelical anti-theist were preaching a phony gospel but your theory that Thessalonians was the first written record of Jesus is an example of the prestidigitation possible with the dialectical Marxism of the Jesus Seminar and Post Modern Historic Deconstruction, generally. I don't want to put you out of business, but follow your intuition to explore the intertwining of the narratives of the Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of John, using the King James translation, The Big Boys Bible in friendly literary circles.

Paul writing about judgment and end of age and end of times and don’t marry or friends and get ur stuff right seems to either be about the destruction of Jerusalem or the coming of age of Pisces/fish/anchor from age of a Aries/lamb/sheep/sheep herders from earlier age of Taurus/bull/golden calf/ranchers which is what Moses was saying at mt Sinai. Seems logical

I believe that the story of Saul/Paul started from Luke 18:9-22:30 I believe both Saul, the self righteous pharisee, and Zacchaeus, the tax collector- both sinners in different ways, were there, and due to his short size, Zacchaeus could only listen, but not able to see Jesus, due to the crowd, which got him up the sycamore tree, to get a glimpse of who has been teaching, and he also must have heard the discourse between Jesus and the rich young ruler (Saul/Paul). This prompted him to offer to give half of his goods to the poor, etc. Both of them were touched, but it took Saul longer to humble himself, and Jesus even bided him some time to dispose of his worldly riches and then "follow" Him. Luke 18:22. Jesus then began to talk about His death because He had completed bringing together, His desciples, all His sheep were in the fold at last John 10:16,27,28. (This "eternal life" must have caught his attention). Saul's story actually spanned the 18th and 19th chapters of Luke. He was the self-righteous pharisee, and Zachaeus was the humble guy. That was why their story ran side by side. Jesus Christ really came to seek and to save that which was "lost" indeed 19:10! "Son of sorrow," becoming son of "His right hand" ". Showing the immense grace to be revealed to Jews and the nations through him, a very good epitome of a grace recipient. The more reason he recognized by referring to Jesus Christ as "Lord...", (no longer as just "master") in acts 9, when he was knocked down from his high horse- so to speak, and became a grain of corn that fell to the ground, that would on towards, bring for fruit abundantly.

Jacob, please be careful with your levels. The volume is low during the talk, so you turn the sound up, and very high in your outro. It physically hurts. Is there no way of checking the levels match before you bust my eardrums.

James the brother Jesus did not write the Epistle of James. James, like his brother, spoke Aramaic and of course was illiterate. Why are we doing this? We are stacking assumptions on top of assumptions, something Tabor has become an expert in.

Paul vs James is a false narrative. It assumes, incorrectly, that the Apostle Paul had been redeemed. from the Law when James wrote his epistle. Actually, the Crucifixion that would accomplish that redemption was still in the future. Both James and Paul talk about faith but from two drastically different perspectives. James from his day to day experiences with Jesus before the Crucifixion, and Paul, decades later, from his supernaturally derived lessons from the Ressurected Savior.

The true gospel of the kingdom is that its here right now, neigh at hand for us to enter into. The kingdom comes without observation and is within you. "To WHOMEVER overcomes he will inherit ALL THINGS. I will be his God and he will be MY SON." Revelation 21:7.

Gotta walk the walk

To me, the title should be How did Man transform Christianity? According to Matthew 24:22, 31, JESUS uses the word the Elect, Romans 8:33 Paul also mentiones the Elect. I would like to know what is the difference between GODS Elect and bring a Christian? Please explain. Thank you

Of course, you don't need Q at all - regardless of the name - if you follow Mark Goodacre's line of thought.

Awesome to see

2 Corinthians 12:1-4. 14 years ago, Paul would have met with the Apostle John and Daniel- Revelation 4:1; Revelation 10:1-7, when the shut prophecies were ready to be accomplished, which I believe did have something to do with the mystery of God which had been hidden before the foundation of the world. Deuteronomy 29:29; Romans 16:25-26; Colossians I:25-29; Psalm 25:14; Matthew 13:11.

Where can I find the k source that was not in the gospels?

I wish Jacob would have asked further questions about Roman provenance. Prof tabor cleared Paul but that doesn’t mean his writings weren’t used for that aim. Also I believe prof tabor also has a mid 1st century date for the gospels I believe

This is the best lecture I've heard from Taber so far. Wooo, good sh@t here.

Scholars always invent their own hypotheses to try to distinguish themselves from other scholars, hoping for that eureka moment that will define their careers… but they always ignore the fact that the audiences Paul wrote to were always Jews and people whom Paul believed were non-Jewish descendants of the tribes of Israel, which means the entire New Testament isn’t relevant to anyone today. It’s Israel’s story, a story that ended in AD70.

how would Christianity look today of Paul did not fudge it? can someone explain?

Thank you

He didn’t mean it in the literal sense,that the world was passing away.. The Epistle to Rheginos kinda shows that.

Paul instead of agreeing to take Nazarite vow he can simply inform James and Peter that I got latest updated revelation directly from Jesus Christ and you people have to follow me.

James Taylor rules!

Jesus came to show us the way out of this reincarnation loop , illumination metaphors is what the Bible is , including the new testament. When John Baptise's Jesus , the wedding in Canin , All give detailed metaphors of what takes place when one becomes illuminated, most do not know this or understand this , the cross was a symbol way way before Christianity, so Jesus came to show us how to get back to the true father The Monad The One.

Question? Is he saying Johns gospel was influenced by Paul? If so is he saying Johns gospel wasn’t written by the Apostles John himself? Who did know Jesus personally?

@6:00 0:00 Aha Dr Tabor: A Gentile who has found the key! This is the great reality that would unite so many from within the Abrahamic religions and their 'subsets.' Everyone hails Jesus, but none follow him. Christians (especially first world 'Christians') say they follow Jesus, but their efforts are to follow Paul. Some say they are the same, but one cannot be saved by the teachings of Paul apart from h.a.v.i.n.g. first believed into the life (teachings) of Jesus any more than post resurrection Jews can be saved by attempting to keep the tenants of the decalogue apart from faith in the Son of God~~the Word of God. Paul's teachings are a booby trap to false converts and a guide for the collective action/attitudes of the members of the body of Christ (the church). The trick is that one cannot be a member of said body solely by attempting to acquesque to WHAT THEY BELIEVE Paul teaches; which faith is what the religious institutions teach. This is the Spirit of the antiChrist.

Berman coughs then drinks a soda 😆😆

This is all fiction. How pathetic.

Jacob is the awkward silence king

Who the heck is Paul!!! How about only 2 or 3 disciples of the Lamb wrote in the New Testament. Luke is not Mark is not, and certainly Paul never met HIM. CHRIST says things like i tell you, let no one deceive you. He didn't speak of things like its a mystery. The Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth. Follow The Messiah who said I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. Choose Life, not any dead man. The Most High said trust NO MAN. Cursed is the man that trust in man and maketh flesh his arm... Jeremiah 17:5 Why do we still debate Paul. He is not the SAVIOUR of the world. The end.

Jésus Christ died for our sins and iniquities as a sacrifice, rose up from the dead 3 days later so we can have eternal life

I think mark was the 1st gospel written with insight/approval of the original 12 apostles. I think Luke comes later which is Paul/Luke’s expansion of the gospel. Then I think Mathew is written in response telling the same story as Luke but with all the corrections from the actual apostles view point. John is also written in response to Luke telling new stories that Paul/Luke didn’t know and a deeper meaning taught by Jesus. It also seems written directly towards Paul/Luke’s point of view. Acts through hebrews is written from Paul/Luke’s perspective. James through revelations is written from the original apostles point of view rebutting Paul’s ideas and again almost talking about him and his views directly without defaming him, as a good Christian would. 2 Peter is written a lot about Paul’s ideas and directly addresses him. Peter is the head of Jesus’ church. He knows Jesus told them to let the weeds grow up with wheat, that Jesus will sort them out later. Judas was amongst them and Jesus did not stop him. Peter knew to love his enemy. To forgive his enemy not 7 times but 70 times. The epistles of James, Peter, John and Jude are rebutting Paul in the most polite indirect way possible to be as truly Christian as possible the way Jesus himself taught us to be. It’s still an important lesson to have been learn in early Christianity and in all times. John speaks of antichrists, ones that could have full faith, but not true knowledge of Christ. Believing they had a direct line to god like Jesus did and knew his will better than others, even the apostles who walked with him. That being said Paul was the greatest evangelist of the time and brought many to at least believe in one god, Jesus his son and some of his teachings. Without Paul early Christian may not have survived. Now that it has it is time to rediscover the truth hidden in the texts and lost to time that Jesus brought us and started being passed down through the original twelve apostles. While my opinion is that Mathew, mark and john then James through revelations are true accounts passed down through the original 12 apostles and there for Jesus/God. They make more sense when related to Paul/Luke’s “scriptures”. So read the books again with the perspective/key that Paul was the evangelist but he didn’t get to know Jesus well so you can see where his ideas and stories don’t line up with Jesus’. The good thing is there is only one God, he is only good and he is only truth. So as misguided as we may become, we can always know him again it just takes work.

paul didn't 'break from the other apostles'. paul was never a part of them.

Paul had his whole family and relatives collecting money ,although he says it's ok but I don't take any of the money myself, but where did the money that was collected by his family go where are the accounts.

Paul had done everything right to bring Jesus to the world ; separate it from the race-based Jewish religion.

QUESTIONS: If Jesus was the result of a virgin birth and, in addition, if Jesus had brothers then how is it that they too were not born of a virgin birth? Also, if Joseph of Arimathea was not Jesus's blood father, might Mary have been impregnated by some other human being than Joseph of Arimathea? Just asking.

I'm Muslim and when I was reading the bible I have understood its basically Paul who has created fundamental base of Christianity. Christians are not following jesus teachings Infact they are following Paul teachings. Gesus said I was sent to the lost sheep's of israele and nothing one else. He was also warned of false prophet. This false prophet according to me is :::::: who has change basics of Abraham religion

Exactly, Pauls creed for followers of Paul. Church here named for Paul, has Harry Potter trivia night for kids...lol Satanic followers of Paul

James was teaching Social Justice.

👍🏼

If ever you need to get to sleep 👍

Wrong Mr. Tabor. The epistles, whether of Paul, Peter, James or John, are all in perfect harmony.

While we are making shit up, can we do the brand of porridge the three bears were eating next? Then perhaps we could talk about the breed of cow Jack swopped for the magic beans, we already know the breed of the three little pigs, they were Gloucester old spots.

I have actually come to Tantra Samana Christianity from my Tamizh background of being born again by the Virgin Mother(Saraswati) into Eternal Bodily Life that was guarded by yhe Seraphim with the flaming sword...

Paul says he does not lie. Why would he? Lucky lucky for Paul: his seed fell on good ground. So many souls didn't and are down there in Hell.

Paul, the Herodian ... awful person ...

How important are the words of 4 (four) gospels. The words of Jesus are said to be beyond one's ability to record in books. I for one long to know those words. We are denied the priviledge. The four gospels are this important.

You really say hello, thanks for coming, are you well? Before launching into a long question.

The problem of Paul is that he truncated the 550 laws that God gave the Prophets down to 4 laws. Jesus told us that not one jot or tittle will not be removed from the Law ie 550 Laws. We will be judged by the 550 Laws on what we have said and done!

The 40 days in the desert was actually 40 years. The virgin birth was ALLEGORY.

Absolutely ! Saul (Paul) received certificates from authorities to capture and kill Christians without trial, even as far away as Damascus thanks to the Roman Empire with laws and rules that allowed Paul to obtain permission from the high priest and then to go capture people in another city. How did Paul obtain this power? The High Priest and the Jewish Sanhedrin of Jerusalem collaborated with the Romans, and one politician of this period had deep ties to the High Priesthood of the Temple of Jerusalem and political influence in Damascus: Herod Antipas the Tetrarch! Saul/Paul was able to fulfill his desire to persecute Christians in the name of the high priest throughout the Roman Empire because his family was close to Herod's family! Saul therefore needed religious authority (Temple) and needed Roman authority in Damascus (King Aretas IV of Damascus) to allow this! King Aretas IV who ruled Damascus, Petra and Arabia during the period of Paul's conversion (Paul preached for 3 years in Arabia, Damascus, Petra (Galatians 1:17), was the father-in-law of Herod Antipas the Tetrarch. John the Baptist preached against Herod Antipas for having divorced his wife in order to marry his half-brother's wife named Herodias, his own niece, daughter of his half-brother Aristobulus IV. John the Baptist defended the honor of Herod Antipas' first wife: Phasaelis, daughter of King Aretas IV Moreover, it was Herod Antipas (Tetrarch of Galilee and Perea) and Herodias who ordered the beheading of John the Baptist (Matthew 14:1-12, Mark 6:16-29), and when Yeshua was arrested in Jerusalem, the procurator of Judea Pontius Pilate sent him to Herod Antipas, who had come to celebrate the Jewish Passover in the capital, but quickly returned him to Pontius Pilate without judging him (Luke 23:1-11), then Pontius Pilate and Herod became friends (Luke 23:12), John the Baptist and Yeshua are of the same family, and this same Herod met John and Yeshua! In the church at Antioch, certain "prophets and teachers" like Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene and Manahen were raised with Herod the tetrarch and Saul (Acts 13:1) When Paul is arrested, the commander assigns 200 soldiers, 70 horsemen, 200 archers to protect Paul (Acts 23:23-24), Paul was a Roman citizen, but Roman citizens did not normally receive 470 bodyguards. Paul was protected because he was related to the family of Herod Agrippa! Flavius Josephus cites Saul and a certain Costobar in his "Judaic Antiquities, Book 20, ch.9, passage 214" as violent evil people who spread evil and robbed the weakest because they were of royal race and very much in favor because of their relationship with Agrippa... a few passages later, Costobar and Saul left Jerusalem! Paul had companions with him when he left Jerusalem to go to Damascus (Acts 9:7, 22:9, 26:13-14), everything fits! Flavius Josephus cites Festus, he who attended the judgment of Paul (Acts 25:1-27), also James, brother of Yeshua where he emphasizes his judgment by the Sanhedrin (Judaic Antiquities Book 20, Ch.9, passage 200 ), this proves that Saul cited by the author is indeed Paul of Tarsus! Costobarus and Saul are the grandsons of Costobarus, since Costobarus married Salome, had a daughter named Berenice who married Aristobulus IV, one of Herod's sons. Both are the parents of the future kings Herod Agrippa I and Herod of Chalcis, as well as that of Herodias. Together, they also have a son called Antipater, who will have two sons: Costobar and Saul who is the apostle Paul of Tarsus! Paul greets those in Aristobulus' house (Romans 16:10), and Aristobulus is a Herodian! so he loved spending time with his family members. Paul is therefore from the royal family of Agrippa (Herod) who took advantage of this status to ravage innocent people and spread evil! Moreover, Herod ravaged the churches, killed James brother of John, and put Peter in prison during Passover (Acts 12:1-5), but the Lord delivered Peter from his prison by his Angel who sent him ( Acts 12:6-11), Paul identifies his Herodian parents since he greets a member of his family named "Herodium" who calls him "my kinsman" (Romans 16:11), Herodion is a Greek name which is a diminutive of 'Herod, which indicates links between his family and the descendants of Herod the Great! Unlike Yeshua who was unjustly condemned and committed no fault, Paul this murderer received the favor of Agrippa who declared that Paul "did nothing to deserve death or prison" (Acts 26: 31), normal, since Paul is from Agrippa's family! Paul was a friend of Caesar, as was Pontius Pilate (John 19:12), Paul invoked Caesar in his judgment (Acts 25:10-12), he also greets those of Caesar's house (Philippians 4:22). Paul was therefore present during the trial and crucifixion of Yeshua! Yeshua said : "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod" (Mark 8:15), since Paul is a Pharisee and a Herodian, Yeshua therefore warned us to beware and flee from hypocrites and murderers like Paul! Paul is undoubtedly the one who helped the Pharisees free Barabbas and crucify Yeshua instead!

Jesus, the son of Mary, upon him be peace, used to say, “Do not speak too much without remembering Allah, for it will harden your hearts and a hard heart is the furthest from Allah, if only you knew. Do not look at the sins of people as if you were lords, rather look at your own sins as if you were slaves. Verily, some people are put to trial and others are granted safety, so be merciful to those under trial and praise Allah for your safety.” ( Hadith from Al Muwatta). Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)said. “Jesus, son of Mary, saw a person he thought was stealing. Jesus said to him: Have you committed theft? The man said: No, by Him besides whom there is no God! Jesus said: I believe in Allah and I disbelieve my eyes.” (Hadith from Bukhari and Muslim). Prophet(pbuh) said, ‘The Hour will not be established until the son of Mary [Jesus] descends among you as a just ruler. He will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the jizyah(tax), Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it (as charitable gifts). (Hadith from Al-Bukhari and Muslim). Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said “By Allah, the son of Mary will descend as a just ruler. He will abolish the cross, kill the swine, and annul the tribute, but he will leave the she-camel such that no one collects from it. He will cause rancor, hatred, and envy to disappear, and he will call people to give their wealth in charity but no one will need it.” (Hadith from Muslim)

I like better the Tantra Christianity after the Samana tradition (Buddhism) and build the Christ image from there...

My only disagreement with you James is your claim that Yeshua was telling people to be celibate , He was saying the exact opposite , He was saying that IN HEAVEN there is no marriage but on earth marriage is between one man and one woman , together they are one and that He's against divorce

Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) once said: "There are seven whom Allah(God) will shade on the Day of Judgement…” He went on to mention six of them and finally concluded by saying: “…A man who gives in charity and hides it, such that his left hand does not know what his right hand gives in charity; and a man who remembered Allah(God) in private and so his eyes shed tears.” (Abu Hurairah & collected in Saheeh al-Bukhari (English trans. vol.1, p.356, no.629) Aisha reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Follow the right course, be devoted, and give glad tidings. Verily, none of you will enter Paradise by his deeds alone.” They said, “Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet said, “Not even me, unless Allah grants me His mercy. Know that the most beloved deed to Allah is that which is done regularly, even if it is small.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6467, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2818 Messenger of Allah, (SAWS) said, “Verily, what I fear most for you is the lesser idolatry.” And he elaborated, “It is showing off. Allah the Exalted will say to them (who show off), on the Day of Resurrection when the people are being rewarded for their deeds: Go to those whom you wished to show off in the world and look for your reward with them.” (Musnad Ahmad Hadith 23119) Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah (SAWS), entered upon us while we were discussing the False Messiah. He said, “Shall I not tell you about what I fear for you more than the presence of the False Messiah?” We said, “Of course!” He said, “Hidden idolatry; that a man stands for prayer and beautifies his prayer because he sees another man looking at him.” (Ibn Majah Hadith 4202). The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Pay the worker his wages before his sweat has dried.” (Source: Sunan Ibn Mājah 2443). Some may think Prophet Muhammad copied from James's letter but as a Muslim we think that all moral values and teachings came from same source i.e from God Almighty.

Wow - Tabor is worse than Wilson. Wet mouth noises before almost every darn sentence! I really wish I could watch these talks without the distracting diction tics. They should watch some of your James Valiant interviews to see how it’s done properly. This isn’t meant to be an attack - it’s sincere disappointment. I really want to be able to listen to these talks. Maybe try having a glass or bottle of water handy?

Slow slow talking , I forgot what he is talking about.😮😅

Christ will make a real believer out of you, guaranteed.

This man thinks he is most knowledgeable , truthful,than all Bible writers as St.Paul,St.James, Matthew,Luke. He is boastful,proud to say he knows what authors were thinking.

The mischievious mind of man in his sin and darkness trying to understand what is beyond his natural frame. Janes Tabor is not the only scholar who has something to say about early Christianity which begins on the day of Pentecost and continues until this same Jesus or Yeshua will come in glory on the day of judgment to separate sheep,that is the believing elect both Judean and Greek as Paul says and as Jesus commanded when he commissions his apostles to evangelize the world , from the goats who will be judged and assigned a place in gehenna for all eternity. I will build my Ecclesia and the gates of Hades will not prevail. That ecclesia beginning in Jerusalem and which exists in all generations until all Jesus came to save from their sins come to a saving knowledge of the Son of the Living God through the preached word attended by the Holy Spirit. I wonder why the host in his opening remarks left out the conversion of Paul in the book of Acts? He uses the New Testament to solidify his view very conveniently which sunful men are always apt to do and do it in what seems to be quite plausable to serve their own ends. For these fellas the bible is not theopneustos, god-breathed but a mere production of the natural man. No Spirit only the carnal workings of mind presented here.

Read Jesus' Words first,, go lissin to the Clementine Holimies,, and remember who "withstood him(Peter), to his face",,,,,,,,

it was "the end of the age",, Jesus' Second Come'n is History,, Biblical Land marks prove it True,, Jesus' Spoken Words Show It True,, Matthew 10:23, 16:28, 19:27-29, 24:34, 26:55-66, Mark 9:1, Luke 9:27, Revelation 1:7 and 9, the land marks verses,,, Psalm 97:5, mos 9:5and 13, Nahum 1:5, 2 Peter 3:10 and 12, Zecheriah 14:4,,,, ,,, thems are call'd "Natural happnins", or "National/State Parks" or #Area51TombOfJesusChrist,, and Alcatraz,,,,,

agin,, saul was a pharisee of pharisee,, he was a child when Jesus was a child,, they were close in age,,, saul was a Herodian so he would not have been in the decree Herod sent out to kill male children 2 years and under,, sauls dad was a Pharisee,, I am sure saul herd from his dad how great this 12 year old kid was as saul was lern'n under Gamaliel,,, saul was jealous of Jesus since childhood and grew up and kill'd Him then hi-jack'd the doctrin and got the church follow'n his version,,,, Jesus Warn'd of saul many times,,,
