Dear All, Take a look at the Haydock Bible I mentioned the other day, if you'd like to understand that what Paul says does not evidence a hatred by Paul of the poor. Steven, Have you read what Catholic thinkers throughout history have said on this passage, or do you just like to spout off with your unwarranted, misunderstandings and accusations of St. Paul. Regards, Nick. _____ From: Steven Jones [mailto:stavro_jones@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 8:48 AM To: geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [geocentrism] Re: Saul of Tarsus Dear All, Saul also had a hatred for the poor. Please read the following abominable quote from 2 Thessalonians. (2 Th 3:6-12 KJV) "Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread." Notice that Saul said: "that if any would not work, neither should he eat". Yet Yeshuwa' said: (Mat 25:37-40 KJV) "Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Saul also said: "Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us." Yet Yeshuwa' said: (John 6:27 KJV) "Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed." Saul is teaching differently to that of Yeshuwa' so has to be an ensample unto you to follow us (him) and not the Messiah. Regards, Steven Jones. _____ Yahoo!
