A FEW NOTES ON THE ANTI-PAUL
DOCTRINE
By
Pastor
George Southwick
WE have to guard
with jealous care “the
faith once for all delivered unto the saints.” There are among us (ANGLO-CELTIC-SAXON
ISRAEL IDENTITY) those who dishonor the Canon of Scripture by their criticisms of it, its
integrity has been denied and its authority challenged. The Holy Spirit has been grieved
thereby and withdrawn His actions
from us. Pride of intellect and heart is responsible for it all. Surely, “an enemy hath done this!”
For any Bible truth teacher-preacher to deny Paul’s Apostleship as spurious, calling
him a “false Apostle”, an “extortioner,” etc., and
also to claim Paul is related to the Herodian family Romans 16:11, (see: Art. ARISTOBULUS
Hastings Dict. of the Bible Vol. 1 Page 148.) Therefore Paul’s ancestry is part
EDOMITE is abominable conjecture. For any so-called Anglo Celtic-Saxon teacher-preacher to
advance the idea that Paul’s struggle with “flesh” and “spirit”
was between his EDOMITE FLESH and his ISRAELITE FLESH is worthy of severest censure.
Nowhere does Paul say he is Edomite - rather quite the contrary. Philippians 3:1-7. BEWARE
of those who contradict Paul and call him part Edomite. This is error!
For any Bible truth teacher-preacher who claims that Jesus prophesied in John 5:43 of the
coming of Saul of Tarsus “in
his own name” ...
thus becoming a bombastic egotist because Paul used the term “I” so
many times, is a most ridiculous theological position - BUT VERY DANGEROUS. In John 5:17
the word “them” means Jews who sought to kill Jesus. The whole passage
is spoken to THEM ... THE JEWS NEVER HAVE RECEIVED PAUL TO THIS VERY DAY. It is the
ISRAELITE HOSTS who have received Jesus AND Paul; for he wrote:.” Be ye followers of me, even as
I also am of Christ;” - I Corinthians 11:1; Jews have neither followed Christ nor Paul!
For any Bible truth teacher-preacher to discredit second Peter as “spurious”
and “doubtful” because of Chapter 3:15-16 shows an unwillingness to
face up to the facts of the Canon. For 2 Peter 1:16 recognizes God’s Word as
inerrant. Please note Robert Young’s opening paragraph in his LITERAL TRANSLATION OF
THE BIBLE “Preface to the Revised Ed.” Among other things he states ...
“there can be no reasonable ground for denying the inspiration of the N.T. by any
one who holds that of the Old, or who is willing to take the plain unsophisticated meaning
of God’s Word regarding either.”
What shall we do with those teachers who deny the veracity and authority of Paul’s
Epistles, yet lay great stock in the book of Luke which admittedly is a product of the
travelling companion of Paul? Certainly this makes such a teacher look foolish!
Three times Paul speaks of “MY GOSPEL” in his Epistles, Romans 2:16;
16:25, 2 Timothy 2:8. We find that ORIGEN, EUSEBIUS, and JEROME believed that Paul meant
by this phrase the Gospel according to Luke. While earlier IRENAEUS wrote, “Luke the
companion of Paul, committed to writing the gospel preached by the latter. Luke wrote TWO
books, examination of LUKE’S GOSPEL reveals the Greek wording and doctrinal content
are strongly Pauline in character. Surely a man is known by the company
he keeps!
NOTE: Results of this ANTI-Paul position can become catastrophic as far as all that we
hold spiritually dear. If we listen to any ANTI-PAULINE teacher and accept this position:
what shall we do with William Pascoe Goard’s classic book on
ROMANS? I for one will not discount the work and belief of worthies in Israel. I must be
true to the testimony of the vast host of Identity Leaders. THEY REJECTED ERROR especially
when it came to the veracity of the Canon, the revelation of God’s Word from Genesis
clear to the Book of Revelation. I follow their footsteps - I reject this Anti Paul
abomination! It will desolate your heart and life in New Creation realities and sever the
flow of the Holy Spirit among God’s People Israel.
1. To be Anti-Paul is to tear the living heart out of the New Testament. Paul is a Second
Moses to the Israel people; he gives great explanations of the New Covenant of Jeremiah
given to both Israel and Judah. Paul defends the LAW ... he does not
discount it as dispensational teachers claim.
2. To be Anti-Paul leaves a mighty void in human and spiritual history. For Augustine,
Luther and Wesley all mark their conversion experience to words written by the Apostle
Paul. And what shall we further say of the ten major men of the Protestant Reformation?
Shall we strike all these from human history as “false” or “deceived”
men? Shall we belittle them as following a false teacher? PAUL.
The idea is preposterous!
3. To be Anti Paul opens up a Pandora’s Box among people as to what is inspired in
the Bible and what is not. The Canon is a sacred Ark, man’s unsanctified hands are
not to touch it. Will this foolishness never end? QUESTIONING GOD’S WORD DENOTES
UNBELIEF!
4. To be Anti-Paul lays that person open to the full force of Rationalism, Modernism, and
“doubt” far worse than any NEO-ORTHODOXY ever dreamed of!
5. To be Anti-Paul is an outright denial of the Providence of God in settling and
arranging the Canon of Scripture as we know it. Of this Scripture the God of Israel is
most jealous! The whole question is: MAN’S MOUTH versus GOD’S WORD!
6. To be Anti-Paul claiming he has no corroborating witness to his “conversion”
and that it would not stand up in Court today is merely rank conjecture. Moses had no
corroborating witness when he saw the Burning Bush! If we discount the one ... why
not the other? This is inconsistency drawn out!
7. Denial of Paul’s Apostleship is in accord with modern Rationalism, Deism, and the
Freethinkers school. ALL approach the Scripture with a MODERN SCIENTIFIC MIND! All this is
in accord with the German School of destructive higher criticism of the Old Testament. So
now Anglo-Celtic-Saxon Israel is invaded with so-called teachers who will finish the job
of “unbelief” in Israel by working over the Epistles of Paul. What “folly
in Israel!” All this is antagonistic to the spiritual Evangelical position in
Israel and much more in accord with the Liberal Modernists of our present day.
8. To be Anti-Paul is outright denial of the heart of the New Testament as we know it.
This “view” the rank and file of Christians on the North American Continent will
not accept! Here is the open door through which Anglo-Celtic-Saxon Israel Identity people
enter into the charge of “CULT.” And I believe the charge would be justifable.
Either believe the Bible ... or reject it in part, or in toto - that is the basic
question. The ATHEIST is more honourable than “certain teachers who have crept in unawares”. Atheists REJECT the Bible wholly, not in
part!
9. To be Anti-Paul incurs the WRATH of Fundamentalists against the Kingdom Teaching. It
gives them a theological ATOM BOMB to blow the AngloCeltic-Saxon message to smithereens.
This doctrine plays into their hands.
10. To be Anti-Paul places a person in accord with the modern well known Philosophers in
Judaism who are AGAINST PAUL. (See Jewish Enc. on this). Anti-Paul teachers shake hands
with our worst enemy!
11. Anti-Paul
doctrine is anti-supernatural in a respect not only to the conversion of Paul, but of any
one’s conversion and testimony. If Paul was not converted in the light of internal
evidence then nobody is converted.
And now we come to the nitty-gritty. To be an Israelite born into this world is
not enough! Such doctrine violates all Scripture of Old and New Testaments.
Israel collective and individual are called to “repent and believe the Gospel.”
These are just a few reasons....
2 Thessalonians 3:14 - “And
if any man obey not our word by this epistle, [note that man] and have no
company with him, that he may be ashamed.”
2 Peter 3:15-16 - “...our
beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; as
also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard
to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as
they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.”
Paul wrote to Corinthian believers of the many ADVERSARIES who were opposing his work; in
writing to Philippian believers he identified many as ENEMIES OF THE CROSS: and to Roman
believers (Israelites) he spoke of those who were ENEMIES OF THE GOSPEL.
The Apostle Peter in his second Epistle has a remarkable discussion of false prophets,
2:1-3, cf: 1 Peter 4:14. The word translated “evil spoken of” is
translated BLASPHEMEO. The denial of Paul and his Epistles would bring down the wrath of
Peter upon any Bible truth teacher’s head as teaching “DESTRUCTIVE
HERESIES” in the light of Peter’s words concerning “our beloved brother Paul”.
Concerning Paul’s terrible indictment of the Jews I Thessalonians 2:15-16 should
cause us to realize that he (Paul) was “more up to date” than most
Christian people today! It is simply Incredible that so-called Kingdom Israel
teacher-preachers would deny this.
AND YET THERE IS ROOM - FOR MORE.
