The Letters Paul Wrote to His Churches Were Real Letters

[Johny Joe Hold]

When I make my weekly visit to the Senior Center in Freehold I often have to put up with unkind remarks by old people who have lost their way. They were Christians but Satan worked on them over the decades and their souls are now lost.

I don't know why they bother me with their atheism, but I receive gifts of atheist books and papers. One book, The Letters of Paul in Their Roman Literary Context, was quite funny. It said the letters in the Bible that Paul sent to his churches were not written by Paul. There was no way in the ancient world to find the letters and then bring them safely to some central place and then put them into the Bible it says. Since they could never have been collected they were never written this pointy-headed professor writes. She thinks someone a long time after Jesus was killed by the Jews wrote the letters and used Paul's name.

What nonsense. Obviously, Paul kept carbon copies of his letters. This is why they were in one place and put into the Bible. How could someone not know about carbon copies of letters?

I don't get it. Wouldn't that apply to any author (or group of authors) just as well as to Paul?



And if, in The Roman Literary Context, there was an epistle factory, why did they write it in Greek?

Oh, my! You have made such excellent points here, dear Brother Mayor Hold. Despite what those miserly, on-Death's-door fools at the Senior Centre say, might I remind them of this very important TRUTH:

II Timothy 3:16,17:
¹⁶ All scripture is given by inspiration of , and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
¹⁷ That the man of may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

That should settle it very nicely. If those old goats have any dispute about the authenticity of Paul's letters (or any other portion of the blessed ), then they can take it up with the when they stand before on their personal Day of Judgment. Oh, they will have plenty time for a lengthy discussion — before they get tipped into the Lake of Fire!

Matthew 12:36 "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment."

Matthew 25:41 "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:"

At least we know "Paul" was not his name.

Acts 8:1

Acts 8:3

Acts 9:1

Acts 9:4

Acts 9:8 and so on.

Is this the same guy or what?

Mr. Fag, you would be a happier person if you would leave your sinful lifestyle and follow Jesus. I'll try to help you with an explanation of history.

God had a Master Plan to father a Son, have the Son killed, pass judgment on sinners like yourself and block access to heaven. Part of this plan was to have a Jew go around saying unkind things about Jesus. That was Saul. Then God's plan had Saul meeting Jesus personally in a vision. After that the Jew, Saul, was renamed to the letter-writing wise man, Paul.

Once you have mastered this, Mr. Fag, your life will improve.

have the Son killed

I see. So why not "do it" with Eve and kill that son before Cain turned up?

She thought he was God's, so………
