Neville,
You've gotten so knotted up that I think the only hope is for you to
re-boot your mind on religious matters. Nevertheless, I'll add some
response to your verses below.
Meaning of Acts 13:38-41...
Ver. 37-38. That your sins are forgiven by the merits of Christ, so you
may be truly just in the sight of God.
Ver. 38-39. The law of Moses was then imperfect. Christ, whom the law
of Moses foretold, shows you its completion. You would violate the law
of Moses by opposing the new law, to which Moses leads you.
Ver.40. Therefore, don't reject the divine Saviour, or otherwise what
has been denounced by the prophets will fall upon your incredulous
heads.
Ver. 41. The "scoffers" reference is out of Hab 1:5. The prophet, by
these words, foretold to the Jews in his time the evils that would come
upon them in their captivity in Chaldea, but St. Paul here applies them
at least to the miseries that the incredulous Jews would incur, if they
obstinately refused to believe in Christ.
So, Neville, what is your issue? No, I don't see hatred by Paul. He is
blunt and loving.
Regards,
Nick.

Nick,
Since you brought up the 2+2=6 analogy, I want you to consider the
following section of a speech by Saul ('Paul', if you prefer):
"Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the
forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who
believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by
the law of Moses. Take care that what the prophets have said does not
happen to you:
'Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish, for I am going to do something
in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.' "
(Acts 13:38-41, NIV.)
Just think about that for a moment and make sure that you understand
what Saul/Paul is saying and who he is talking to and who he is talking
about.
Okay, now Saul/Paul has quoted from the Hebrew, right? Well, not quite.
Take a look at what is actually written:
"Look at the nations and watch - and be utterly amazed. For I am going
to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you
were told." (Hab. 1:5, NIV.)
Do you see the difference? Do you see the hatred that Saul has for the
Jews/Israelites? Do you see how he has twisted and contorted the words
of YeHVaH, hallowed be His name, to suit his own teachings?
Or are you going to tell me that 2+2=6 ?
Neville.
