If Paul is the only one whose words you believe are for you, and yet you do not understand Paul, then what are you left with? You too will stand before the Bema of Messiah. We are confident and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Master. Wherefore we labor, so that whether present, or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the Bema of Messiah; that every one may receive the things done in the body, (the time appointed of the Father when a child becomes a son), according to what each has done, whether for the good or whether for the evil. Those of us therefore knowing the terror of the Absolute Master; we persuade men. Those of you who know Him not, eat, drink, and rise up to play.
In Dam-meshek the governor under Aretas Azazel the king of the desert kept the city of the Damessenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me: and through a window, in a wickerwork birdcage basket was I let down through the wall, and escaped his hands. It is necessary to vaunt, though not advantageous for myself, but I speak of visions and revelations of the Master. I know an anthropon manfaced, (countenance), in Messiah, prior to nine years ago; whether in the body, I know not, or whether out of the body, I know not, (YHWH knows), that certain such a one was caught up to the third heaven. Also I know a certain such a one, an anthropon manfaced, whether in the body or apart from the body, I know not, (it is a day that only YHWH knows), how that one was caught up into Paradise, (which is not the same as the third heaven), and heard unspeakable words which are not lawful for a man to utter. The one is your twin and is slowly killing you, that is, the old man nature, (The old man ancient one, with countenance exalted, he is the head; and the false prophet teaching lies, he is the tail, [of the dragon]). But if you believe neither Moshe nor Yeshua nor Paul then why would you believe me?
