\u00a0I\u2019m sorry, but someone was a couple pages short of a codex when they scribed that passage.\u00a0 The point is, however, that this passage leaves us in a quandary.\u00a0 We either have to question the Jewish concept of God or accept their explanation that \u201cGod\u201d does not mean \u201cGod\u201d in the above verses, but rather it means either an angel or a man (which, in essence, means the Old Testament is not to be trusted).\u00a0 In fact, this textual difficulty has become so problematic that more recent Bibles have tried to cover it up by changing the translation from \u201cGod\u201d to \u201cman.\u201d \u00a0What they cannot change, however, is the foundational scripture from which the Jewish Bible is translated, and this continues to read \u201cGod.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Unreliability is a recurring problem in the Old Testament, the most prominent example being the confusion between God and Satan! \u00a0II Samuel 24:1 reads:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u201cAgain the anger of the LORD was aroused against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, \u2018Go, number Israel and Judah.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">However, I Chronicles 21:1 states: \u201cNow Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Uhhh, which was it? \u00a0The Lord, or Satan? \u00a0Both verses describe the same event in history, but one speaks of God and the other of Satan.\u00a0 There is a slight (like, total) difference.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Christians would like to believe that the New Testament is free of such difficulties, but they are sadly deceived.\u00a0 In fact, there are so many contradictions that authors have devoted books to this subject.\u00a0 For example, Matthew 2:14 and Luke 2:39 differ over whether Jesus\u2019 family fled to Egypt or Nazareth.\u00a0 Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4 differ over the wording of the \u201cLord\u2019s Prayer.\u201d \u00a0Matthew 11:13-14, 17:11-13 and John 1:21 disagree over whether or not John the Baptist was Elijah.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Things get worse when we enter the arena of the alleged crucifixion: Who carried the cross\u2014Simon (Luke 23:26, Matthew 27:32, Mark 15:21) or Jesus (John 19:17)? \u00a0Was Jesus dressed in a scarlet robe (Matthew 27:28) or a purple robe (John 19:2)? \u00a0Did the Roman soldiers put gall (Matthew 27:34) or myrrh (Mark 15:23) in his wine? \u00a0Was Jesus crucified before the third hour (Mark 15:25) or after the sixth hour (John 19:14-15)? \u00a0Did Jesus ascend the first day (Luke 23:43) or not (John 20:17)? \u00a0Were Jesus\u2019 last words, \u201cFather, \u2018into Your hands I commit my spirit\u2019\u201d (Luke 23:46), or were they \u201cIt is finished\u201d (John 19:30)?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">These are only a few of a long list of scriptural inconsistencies, and they underscore the difficulty in trusting the New Testament as scripture.\u00a0 Nonetheless, there are those who do trust their salvation to the New Testament, and it is these Christians who need to answer the question, \u201cWhere is the \u2018Christ\u2019 in \u2018Christianity?\u2019\u00a0 \u201cThis, in fact, is a supremely fair question.\u00a0 On one hand we have a religion named after Jesus Christ, but on the other hand the tenets of orthodox Christianity, which is to say <strong><em>Trinitarian<\/em><\/strong> Christianity, contradict virtually everything he taught.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I know, I know\u2014those of you who aren\u2019t screaming \u201cHeretic!\u201d \u00a0are gathering firewood and planting a stake.\u00a0 But wait.\u00a0 Put down the high-powered rifle and listen.\u00a0 Trinitarian Christianity claims to base its doctrines on a combination of Jesus\u2019 and Paul\u2019s teachings.\u00a0 The problem is, these teachings are anything but complementary.\u00a0 In fact, they contradict one another.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Take some examples: Jesus taught Old Testament Law; Paul negated it.\u00a0 Jesus preached orthodox Jewish creed; Paul preached mysteries of faith.\u00a0 Jesus spoke of accountability; Paul proposed justification by faith.\u00a0 Jesus described himself as an ethnic prophet; Paul defined him as a universal prophet.[1] Jesus taught prayer to God, Paul set Jesus up as intercessor.\u00a0 Jesus taught divine unity, Pauline theologians constructed the Trinity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">For these reasons, many scholars consider Paul the main corrupter of Apostolic Christianity and Jesus\u2019 teachings.\u00a0 Many early Christian sects held this view as well, including the second-century Christian sects known as \u201cadoptionists\u201d\u2013 \u201cIn particular, they considered Paul, one of the most prominent authors of our New Testament, to be an arch-heretic rather than an apostle.\u201d[2]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Lehmann contributes:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u201cWhat Paul proclaimed as \u2018Christianity\u2019 was sheer heresy which could not be based on the Jewish or Essene faith, or on the teaching of Rabbi Jesus.\u00a0 But, as Schonfield says, \u2018The Pauline heresy became the foundation of Christian orthodoxy and the legitimate church was disowned as heretical.\u2019 \u2026 Paul did something that Rabbi Jesus never did and refused to do.\u00a0 He extended God\u2019s promise of salvation to the Gentiles; he abolished the law of Moses, and he prevented direct access to God by introducing an intermediary.\u201d[3]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Bart D. Ehrman, perhaps the most authoritative living scholar of textual criticism, comments:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u201cPaul\u2019s view was not universally accepted or, one might argue, even widely accepted \u2026. Even more striking, Paul\u2019s own letters indicate that there were outspoken, sincere, and active Christian leaders who vehemently disagreed with him on this score and considered Paul\u2019s views to be a corruption of the true message of Christ \u2026.\u00a0 One should always bear in mind that in this very letter of Galatians Paul indicates that he confronted Peter over just such issues (Gal. 2:11-14).\u00a0 He disagreed, that is, even with Jesus\u2019 closest disciple on the matter.\u201d[4]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Commenting on the views of some early Christians in the Pseudo-Clementine literature, Ehrman wrote:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u201cPaul has corrupted the true faith based on a brief vision, which he has doubtless misconstrued.\u00a0 Paul is thus the enemy of the apostles, not the chief of them.\u00a0 He is outside the true faith, a heretic to be banned, not an apostle to be followed.\u201d[5]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Others elevate Paul to sainthood.\u00a0 Joel Carmichael very clearly is not one of them:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u201cWe are a universe away from Jesus.\u00a0 If Jesus came <strong>\u201conly to fulfill\u201d<\/strong> the Law and the Prophets; If he thought that <strong>\u201cnot an iota, not a dot\u201d<\/strong> would <strong>\u201c<\/strong><strong>pass from the Law,\u201d<\/strong> that the cardinal commandment was <strong>\u201cHear, O Israel, the Lord Our God, the Lord is one,\u201d<\/strong> and that <strong>\u201cno one was good but God\u201d\u2026.<\/strong>What would he have thought of Paul\u2019s handiwork!

As he so clearly affirmed, \u201cI was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.\u201d (Matthew 15:24) When Jesus sent the disciples out in the path of God, he instructed them, \u201cDo not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.\u201d (Matthew 10:5-6) Throughout his ministry, Jesus was never recorded as having converted a Gentile, and in fact is recorded as having initially rebuked a Gentile for seeking his favors, likening her to a dog (Matthew 15:22-28 and Mark 7:25-30). Jesus was himself a Jew, his disciples were Jews, and both he and they directed their ministries to the Jews. One wonders what this means to us now, for most of those who have taken Jesus as their \u2018personal savior\u2019 are Gentiles, and not of the \u201clost sheep of the house of Israel\u201d to whom he was sent.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">[2] Ehrman, Bart D.
