The Misunderstanding of Paul

THE MISUNDERSTANDING OF PAUL

BY JAMES SCOTT TRIMM

Lets start by looking at five verses:

James 2:24

Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Romans 3:20

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his

sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Romans 2:13

(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the

law shall be… Continue

Laying a Foundation

Although the Greek version of the Epistle to the Hebrews has become

the standard text used in Christendom, the "Church Fathers" of

Christendom openly admitted that the Letter to the Hebrews had been

originally written in Hebrew and was later translated into Greek.

Eusebius in the fourth century referred to a now lost writing by

Clement of Alexandria wrote around the year 200 C.E. which Eusebius

cites as follows:

In the work called Hypotyposes, to… Continue

Hebrew Tobit, Matthew and Hebrews

WHAT DOES TRANSMISSION OF THE BOOK OF TOBIT

TELL US ABOUT THE HEBREW ORIGIN OF MATTHEW AND HEBREWS?

The Book of Tobit is one of the books of the "apocrypha". The books

of the apocrypha are part of the canon of Roman Catholics but not

part of the canon of Protestants and Jews.

The Book of Tobit is a book which originated in Jewish circles and

was adopted into Christian usage. Eventually the book ceased to be

used in Jewish circles and was only… Continue

ORIGIN FOR THE NEW TESTAMENT

(and the 10 reasons they are wrong on each account)

1. The oldest manuscripts are Greek.

RESPONSE:

Yes it is true that our oldest Hebrew copies of Matthew and Hebrews

(the only NT books we have in Hebrew) only date back to the middle

Now it Can Finally be Revealed: Who are the King of the North and the King of the South?

Now it Can Finally be Revealed:

Who are the King of the North and the King of the South?

By James Trimm

Scripture tells us that in the last days Israel will be caught in the midst of a conflict between the “King of the North” and the “King of the South” (Dan. 11 & 12). In the past some interpreters have identified the invasion of Israel by the “King of the North” in Daniel 11 with the invasion by “Gog and Magog” in Ezekiel 38 (and thus with Russia).… Continue

The Masorah and Tikkun Soferim

The term “Masorah” refers to the marginal notes which were transmitted by the Masorites along with the Masoretic Text. The notes transmitted in the side margins are called the “Masorah Parva” or “Masorah Katonah”. The notes transmitted on the top and bottom margins are the “Masorah Magna” also known as “Masorah Gedolah”. Finally the notes transmitted at the end of the text are the Masorah Finalis.

Among the notes preserved in the Massorah Gedolah are those of the Tikkun Soferim… Continue

Torah Made Flesh - Deut. 30, Baruch and Romans 10

Shalom Chaverim,

Not long ago I posted a discovery I had made that shed light on Romans Chapter 10.

Recently I have made a further discovery concerning this passage. This further discovery reinforces the correctness of the previous discovery and adds to it evidence that Paul's argument in Romans 10 is drawn in part from the apocryphal book of Baruch (which he clearly therefore used).

To best understand this new insight, it is best to incorporate it into

the… Continue

Paul: An Emissary to Ephraim

PROOF THAT THE ANCIENT JEWISH SECT OF THE NAZARENES

TAUGHT PAUL WAS AN EMISSARY TO THE EPHRAIMITES

Let me begin by examining the Nazarene Commentary on Isaiah 8:14 as cited

by Jerome:

The Nazarenes, who accept Messiah in such a way

that they do not cease to observe the old law

explain the two houses as the two families, viz.

of Shammai and Hillel, from whom originated the Scribes

and the Pharisees. Akiba, who took over their… Continue
