A Bible writer identifies himself as an apostate?!

    “If God’s truth redounds to his glory through my falsehood, why am I still being condemned as a sinner?” (Romans 3:7) This is an instant where a Bible writer publicly admits that he resorts to “FALSEHOOD” (apostatizing, or standing away from truth)

    This explains why we find, in this letter, many things difficult to digest. In Chapter 5 he describes the origin of sin and death. Romans 5:12 that says “all those who sinned died” is contradicted in 5:14 that says “those who did not sin also died.” He says sin and death started with Adam and Eve, meaning they sinned and died as a result. If first century Christians sinned, they have to die eternally with no hope of resurrection (Hebrews 10:26), even if it is very minor, like trying to take little bit of glory through some minor lie. (Acts 5:1-11)

    Yet he tries to paint the sins of first century Christians as figurative. He even compares sin and death of first century Christians to that of Jesus (Romans 6:1-7, 23). This makes no sense, because Jesus neither sinned nor died, but was murdered by evil forces external to him—something for which he even prayed not to happen. If his murder was brought out by evil forces for the good of the mankind, that would mean God used evil to bring lasting good for mankind—does that not make evil good? Then why should one die to sinning? See we are going mad!!! Then he writes a demoralizing stuff in Chapter 7…

    Yet we also find some very good things in Chapter 1, 2, 12, 13

    Still Bible declares ‘Bitter water and sweet water will not come from the same source?’ (James 3:11)???!!!???

    Paul was a Gnostic , but one has to wonder if he was also smoking the same stuff john was when he wrote revelations. Good stuff to ponder.
