Was Paul A Deceiver?
Paul says...
2 Corinthians 12:16
Be that as it may, I have not been a burden to you. Yet, crafty (
Paul refers to himself as a 'crafty' fellow. The word in Greek is
1) skilful, clever
a) in a good sense, fit to undertake and accomplish anything, dexterous, wise, sagacious, skilful
b) in a bad sense, crafty, cunning, knavish, treacherous, deceitful

Obviously Christians will tend to go for definition 'a', which
states that it is cleverness in a good sense. However, when we read the rest of the
verse...
Be that as it may, I have not been a burden to you. Yet, crafty (
The word for trickery here is dolos, which could mean...
1) craft, deceit, guile

This word is always used in a negative way...
Matthew 26:4
and they plotted to arrest Jesus in some sly (
Mark 7:22
greed, malice, deceit (
Mark 14:1
Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were only two days
away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some sly (
John 1:47
When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, "Here is a true
Israelite, in whom there is nothing false (
Acts 13:10
"You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is
right! You are full of all kinds of deceit (
Romans 1:29
They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and
depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit (
1 Thessalonians 2:3
For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor
are we trying to trick (
1 Peter 2:1
Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit (
1 Peter 2:22
"He committed no sin, and no deceit (
1 Peter 3:10
For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue
from evil and his lips from deceitful (
Revelation 14:5
No lie (
As we can see this word is always being used negatively. This is the very thing that Paul claimed to have done. Does this make Paul guilty of deception? Jesus himself says in Mark 7:22 that it is a sin and that it is something that makes someone unclean from inside (verse 23).
Note To Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more")
I do not give permission to any Muslim to use the information contained in this article in any negative way. I did not write this article in order to attack the character of Paul. I never write articles to attack Christianity in a negative way. This is never my intention. However, as Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") we are forced to retaliate when Islamophobes start attacking our religion. They need to know how it feels to get the same treatment back. This article's information could only be used in the following cases...
If anyone ever tries to accuse our Allah the Glorious like how some people have done and failed of being a deceiver in a negative way or try to accuse our beloved Prophet Muhammad of being a deceiver. You should defend the honor of your religion first and then retaliate by giving them some of their own medicine. Other than that I give no permission to anyone to use this article just for simply attacking and mocking the other person's religion.
Back to My Rebuttals, and exposing the lies of the Answering Islam team section.
Islam and the Noble Quran - Questions and Answers.
Contradictions and History of Corruption in the Bible.
Questions about Jesus that trinitarian Christians don't have logical answers for.
What parts of the Bible do Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") believe are closest to the Truth? and Why?
"Allah" was GOD Almighty's original Name in the Bible according to the Hebrew and Aramaic sources.
Scientific Miracles in Islam and the Noble Quran.
Most of the Bible's books and gospels were written by mysterious people!
Jesus mentioned Muhammad by the name in the Bible.
Did Isaiah 53 really prophesies about the crucifixion of Jesus? It supports Islam's claims about Jesus peace be upon him never died on the cross. I also addressed John 19:36-37 from the Bible and proved that Jesus never got crucified, since GOD Almighty promised that he will protect Jesus' body and not let even a single bone be broken. My question to all Christians is: How in the world is it possible for the feet to get nailed on the cross without any penetration to the bones by the nails, hence breaking part of the feet's bones?! I also added refutations to Exodus 12:46, Numbers 9:12, Zechariah 12:10 and Psalm 34:20, which supposedly prove the Christians' belief about Jesus crucifixion. I proved that this dogma has no truth what so ever and exposed the wrong Trinitarian English translation of Zechariah 12:10.
