hi Richard. I know that you realize that when God gave Moses the law that he had one witness with him. Aaron was allowed to come up to the top of the mountain with Moses.
So when I read that Paul received the vision from Christ there was also a witness his name was Ananias and in acts nine: 11-17. Are we going to call Ananias a liar? Jesus told Ananias that Paul was going to suffer for my name's sake. Paul did receive a thorn in his side to keep him humble because of the many revelations of the mysteries he received.

Sure, that's what they say...Try to square all that with the TaNaKh...
O..K... verse 12 is till the same. Chapter 9 verse 16 hasn't changed either.
What am I missing? Are we only allowed to have one apostle to minister to other nations?
When Peter, who actually walked with Jesus, claims that is was he that was chosen by G-d to take the Gospel to the Nations, who are you going to believe?...

OK... he did.
Paul is not allowed to minister to the Gentiles? Does Peter have an exclusivity clause in his apostleship documentation?

You start doubting biblical authorship - that ain't the Holy Spirit.
I like a good mystery, don't you? This mystery is very important because at one time Gentiles had no hope of eternal life. John the Baptist, Jesus, and the 12 apostles all preached the gospel of the kingdom to Israel. This was not the gospel of grace that would later be preached by the apostle Paul to the churches composed mostly of Gentiles. Paul preached that Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose from the dead, but during Christ's earthly ministry, no one was preaching that message. It had not even happened yet. John the Baptist preached the gospel of the kingdom Matthew3:2 repent ye for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Mark1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. This shows that before the cross the people of Israel could receive forgiveness of sins without even knowing that the Messiah would be put to death or would rise from the dead. John the Baptist preached and baptized with water in order to prepare Israel to receive the Messiah. John1:31 that he should be made manifest to Israel therefore am I come baptizing with water. Mark1:14-15.after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand repent ye and believe the gospel, the same gospel that John the Baptist preached. Jesus sent the12 apostles to preach only to Israel Matthew10:5-7 These 12 Jesus sent forth and commanded them saying, go not into the way of the Gentiles and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go preach saying, the kingdom of heaven is at hand. The disciples were specifically told to go only to the people of Israel and they were not preaching anything about the death burial and resurrection of Christ. My dear brothers and sisters at this time, we Gentiles did not have hope of eternal life except to become a Jew and follow all the commandments, and rituals that the Jews had to follow.
Romans11:25 for I would not brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel,UNTIL the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. That little word until means when the last Gentile or Jew has been saved into Christ's spiritual kingdom than God will deal again with his promises to Israel about a physical kingdom
Romans16:25 now to him that is the power to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began.
Why did God keep our gospel a secret for so long? 1 Corinthians2:7-8 but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory, which none of the princes of this world,knew for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. So no one was allowed to know it, not Peter, the apostles, Judas, Pilate, or even Satan himself.
I know as I write this that there will be some skeptics and some people so entrenched in the teachings from the pulpit and elsewhere that will not believe this truth. All I can say is the Scripture. Rightly dividing the word of truth, if you do that you can understand the Bible with the Holy Spirit's help.
I spoke of the word UNTIL up above that is the GAP or postponement of Israel's physical kingdom here on earth
I write this to young believers who want to know the truth by rightly dividing, all of the Bible was written for us, but parts of the Bible were written to us especially.

Thanks for the post. The problem is you posted it in the Christianity section and there aren't many here who actually believe the bible. Sad. You know what you are talking about.
When Peter, who actually walked with Jesus, claims that is was he that was chosen by G-d to take the Gospel to the Nations, who are you going to believe?...
Peter and James also said they would be for the Circumcision and Paul for the nations in Galatians 2 and in Acts James said that they, the Circumcision, would no longer harass those of the nations.
You did not answer my question. I have no idea why. We can all find out what Jesus said about the law (according to the scriptures). However, you seem to be avoiding my question about what you regard as scriptures. This is the last time today I will ask, do you believe the Epistles in the New Testament are part of the holy scriptures? A simple yes or no will do.
