When Paul emerges from the Arabian desert he comes onto the world stage boldly declaring that he is the head of all christian churches, which was supported by his Edomite royal blood and Roman citizenship. This granted him the protection and authority to suppress the original Apostles while creating his own lawless version of the faith. This is evidenced in how Paul repeatedly speaks about Yashava’s true apostles.

Galatians 2:6 (KJV), (Paul)
6. “But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh
no matter to me: God accepteth no man’s person:) for they who seemed to be
somewhat in conference added nothing to me:“

The Intent: Paul explicitly states that the men who walked with Yashava had “nothing to add” to him, effectively declaring his “lawless” gospel independent of their first-hand testimony.

2nd Corinthians 11:5: (KJV), (Paul)
5. “ For I suppose was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.”

The Intent: The term “chiefest-apostles” is used mockingly to belittle the authority of the Twelve.

2 Corinthians 11:13: (KJV), (Paul)
13. “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into
the apostles of Christ.”
- – – – – – – – – –
The Intent: While some theologians argue he is talking about others, in the context of his rivalry with the Jerusalem emissaries, all of chapter 11, and the first 11 verses of chapter twelve, Paul is self-justifying himself, while demeaning them and making himself appear greater than Christ’s true apostles.

1 Corinthians 9:1-2, (KJV), (Paul)
1. Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen jesus Christ our Lord? are
not ye my work in the Lord?
2. If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine
apostleship are ye in the Lord.”

In verses 1 and 2, Paul uses his “Roman-style” freedom and his self-reported vision to bypass the traditional requirement of an Apostle (having walked with Yashava).
