Paul

Interesting that you did not comment on my other points. I will use the English translation names that I grew up with Peter and Paul to continue and avoid getting caught up in their names. Even if true and you say that Peter thought that Paul was a charlatan, the Word of G_d would shatter any plan he and the leaders may have had to turn the children of Israel away from HIM.

For someone who claims to not need a book, you seem to have read the book. You might be familiar with the story of Joseph and how his being left for dead and carried away to Egypt ended up being the salvation of Israel. We, myself included, tend to look at stories and think in human terms and limited human time, but if we were truly faithful even as tiny as a mustard seed, we would KNOW that often what we think of as triumph of evil is always triumph of YWHA. We are witnessing a war that has already an outcome and a triumph, we are just having our hearts circumcised and discovering where we stand and who we stand with.
