NOV. 27, 88 CE THANKSGIVING EDITION This is Paul
PAUL LIVED FROM C.5 CE to c.67 CE. HE WAS A JEW WHO CONVERTED TO CHRISTRIANITY IN C.33 CE JUNE 8th, 33 CE DEAR DIARY, TODAY I WALKED DOWN THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS. I WAS TRYING
THAT NO ONE COULD SPEAK TO ME WHEN THEY ARE NOT ALONE. IT MUST BE A WORK OF GOD, BUT IT’S JESUS, NOT GOD. THEN I REALIZED
TO FIND JESUS’ FOLLOWERS AND WIPE THEM OUT, BUT I COULD NOT FIND
THAT JESUS WAS THE SON OF GOD,
ANYONE OF THEM. ANYHOW, LET ME GET BACK TO THE STORY. SO I WAS
AND FROM THEN ON, I STARTED TO
WALKING DOWN THE ROAD, NOT BOTHERING ANYONE, WHEN A LIGHT
FOLLOW HIM.
APPEARED. THE LIGHT MADE ME FALL. THEN I HEARD A VOICE. IT SAID, “DON’T TRY AND WIPE OUT MY FOLLOWERS, BUT CHERISH THEM AND JOIN THEM. WHY ARE YOU PERSECUTING THEM ANYWAYS?” AT FIRST I HAD NO IDEA WHO IT WAS, BUT THEN I REALIZED, THESE FOLLOWERS HE IS TALKING ABOUT ARE THE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS. IT WAS JESUS, BUT THEN I REALIZED

JUNE 8TH, 50 CE YESTERDAY I VISITED JERUSALEM TO GO MEET JESUS’ APOSTLES TO TRY AND SOLVE A PROBLEM. IT WAS ABOUT WHETHER GENTILES (NON-JEWS) SHOULD FOLLOW JEWISH LAWS, LIKE HAVING TO CIRCUMCISE, KEEP KOSHER, ETC. DURING THE MEETING, SOME PHARISAIC JEWS WHO JOINED THOUGHT THAT GENTILES SHOULD FOLLOW THE LAWS. THERE WAS SOME ARGUMENT ABOUT AND THEN FINALLY IT WAS MY TURN TO SPEAK. I SAID THAT GENTILES SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FOL.LOW THOSE LAWS AS LONG AS THEY FOLLOW JESUS AND HAVE FAITH IN HIM. WE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT GENTILES DO NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW JEWISH LAWS AS LONG AS THEY HAVE FAITH IN JESUS.
FEBRUARY 18, 56 CE SO I HAVE DECIDED TO WRITE LETTERS TO PEOPLE GIVING THEM REASONS TO CONVERT. I WROTE TO THE GALATIANS, THE CORINTHIANS, AND THE ROMANS. IN ALL OF THEM I BASICALLY SAID THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW JEWISH LAWS; THEY HAVE TOJUST FOLLOW JESUS. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO CIRCUMCISE, KEEP KOSHER, AND BE SHOMER SHABBAS. I WROTE THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW THE WRITTEN LAW ANYMORE BECAUSE JESUS WAS THE LAST SINNER AND NOW WE CANNOT SIN, THEREFORE WE DO NOT NEED TO FOLLOW THE COMMANDMENTS (LAWS).
This was a part of Paul’s letter to the Romans in Latin. This scroll was a part of one of the first Christian Bibles.
This is a despICtion of the Council of Jerusalem.
