This I learned from Ahmed Deedat, still have the book which quotes him.

His major issue was the translating of Tontheon as God, ignoring the use of a different word with different meaning, because it deceives people that John 1 clearly say "Jesus is God." The Word was divine/theos, not God/Tontheon.

If one were to comb the writings of the first anti-Marcion, non Apocryphal so historical author, apologist Justin Marty, one might be shocked that Marcion is mentioned many times as theme subject of his polemic, Marcion was the first to use the Pauline Epistles, Justin knows of no Gospel, but a "Memoirs of the Apostles " and never cites a N.T. book or author, any quotes are only cited as words of Isa(as) from "Memoirs."

Next is Iranaeus, who finally mentions Paul and apparently Marcion was the real super missionary as his popular movement forced the acceptance of Paul in the otherwise pure Church, next you have the four forgeries in the name of people who saw almost nothing to nothing if what they wrote about.

I would not be surprised if Marcion was another name for Aher/Saul/Paul/Abuya/Simon, "All things to all men" I believe is how himself puts it.

Ante Nicene Fathers vol 8

Ancient Syriac documents

Relating to the earliest establishment of Christianity in EdEssa and the neighboring countries.

From the History of the Church

Story of the King of Edessa.

"..., King Abgar also, who was renowned among the nation's on the east of the Euphrates for his valour, had his body wasting away with a grievous disease, such as there is no cure for among men. ..."

So introduced a scribe a King of good name, character, who is a believer the the miracles of/and the Messiah (as), really sick, who gets healed by the Apostle of Isa (as) Thaddeus/Thaddai on order from Judah Tammus, brother of Yakov, Simon, Joses(I really think is Barnabus because I have read Codes Bezae aka "Western Acts" and is called Barnabas Justus instead of Joses Justus, Aramaic Zaddik or Righteous One, a serious title of the few "Pillars" for whom world exists in ancient and modern Hebrew theology/mythos; Gospel of Thomas, Sefer ha-Zohar, Mariam (sa) a Levite relative of Prophet and Priest Zechariah and his wife Elizabeth, brought up a Temple virgin, daughter of Aaron (sa), the foster brothers of Isa(as) ).

Sorry about the digression but it's need.

Footnote 4 says "By this title all the Toparchs of Edessa were called, just as Roman Emporers were called Ceasars,..."

then..."Abgar in Syriac means 'lame.' "

I am willing to bet not all Eddessan "Toparchs" were infirmed necessitating making a play on words a Dynastic title for "All."

So what gives with ignoring the obvious etymological connection to "Akbar" as in "Allahu Akbar." There is ample  a much greater chance "Greatest" is the meaning, since g and k from Semitic to Latin (Gama/Kama) is common, and the evolution of language a la ibn to the now common bin, for "son of" many other instances like Syriac to Arabic possible loan words having letters reversed (Esu/as3) would easily explain what is already just obvious.


More of an issue for another place, I had to first mention it. It's so strange.

This is the scholar chosen to translates important possibly 1st century work.

I will share later the notes claiming that non mention of Paul was Middle age tampering offering nothing to support it.

"The failure to praise [Paul] the work of him who "laboured more abundantly than all others" is noteworthy,  and CAN ONLY be accounted for by Middle age corruption of the text."

Or he was not important, liked, welcome, until centuries after he was dead, and possibly the simple mention, of nothing of importance just the names Paul and Timothy, a sentence coherent without the award mention. It's not insulting, so no reason exists to suspect corruption.

Paul testifies, he was hated in Asia, loved in Rome, and even that alleged honor is given Simon Peter here, not mentioned about Paul, not even mentioning him going to Rome!

Simon Magus, does, Simon Kepha on his trail to battle his false teachings in the debate in Homilies.

This is the address, if it doesn't work I'll find it on ccel.

As'salamu Alaikum Everyone,

Paul was a rodent from an infestation of rodents from 10s of false messiahs and prophets at the time.  Please visit:

Christian theologians have thoroughly demonstrated that 10s of false messiahs and prophets emerged SHORTLY AFTER JESUS:

After Asr I will comment on my observations, I read this today, own the Kitab, Ante Nicene Fathers series vol. 8.

www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/008/index

You will probably enjoy this as a literature, but it's a large book. You need to scroll down to Memoirs from Edessa, I can't help but notice that the ability to translate is not akin to being an good or honest exeget, as so much sophistry is employed to gloss over uncomfortable truth, like that as Paul admitted, "All who are in Asia have turned away from me."

Which is recommended in the literature for people fitting Paul's description. Harsh standards, literal Apocryphons were needed to evade his failed treachery, later Rome had to do some serious damage control to give Paul the prominence he doesn't deserve, but enjoys regardless today, like rewriting Lukes Acts, rejected far better books on account of being too Jewish oriented, forged Epistles, and outright denial of the obvious claim to legitimacy, and superiority of Yakov, Simon, Yohan, and the rest of the 12, their Ebionim/Nozrim successors, rejection by.

As'salamu Alaikum dear brothers,

I am going to use it soon in my articles above, insha'Allah.  There is also another link about Paul that was recommended before, which I will also use, insha'Allah.

Jazakum Allah Khayr.

Take care,
Osama Abdallah

Brother Osama, I recommend reading the "Memoirs of Edessa" and the early Syriac literature like doctrine of Addai which the translators of were baffled by the lack of mention of Paul,  who is denied his New Testament alleged accomplishments, recognition or acknowledgement of his letter.

They actually could not find a better rationalization than to say that "zMedieval interpokations" of an ante Nicene work the cause.

But who in that era was anti-Pauline on record?

Nobody. It's pure conjecture, as possibly the biggest fan of Syriac Apocryphal around I easily can connect it to my H&R of Clement of Rome, an Italian, so my kinsman, and right hand man to Simon Kepha, an ally  of the Jerusalem faction, being why I am so fond of his writings.

Will send a link to the whole genre, and share my exegetical conclusions, but most noticeable to me is these scholars could not see the etymological connection between Abgar(Akbar) the King of Edessa, an Ishmaelite, and it's so obvious the literature is from the earliest of times as it mentions nothing of any epistles of Paul, and they used the Diatessaron, what we know if as Apocrypha.

If anything was interpolated it was the mere mention, no more, of Paul, stating he was in agreement with the 12, absurdities abound in the footnotes, comical at times, and ignorant at others.

It may have been translated 100 or so years ago, but they act oblivious to the facts, and when Peter is said to precede Paul in and have full authority over all the cities laid claim to Paul, again it's because of interpolation or just wrong, they pick and choose based on their already formed conclusions and can't accept the supremacy of the Apostles, are really in denial of the fact Paul isn't just because Paul alone makes said claim.

Which Tertullian disputed against Marcion, calling Paul the Apostle to the heretics who has no testimony to support his (obvious lies).

Assalamualaikum brother Osama,


Those quotes may be useful...
