What happened in Arabia?

Gal 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

Scholarly study tells us that Paul was taught for three years by Yeshua before beginning His ministry.  But what was taught to Paul?  Have you ever wondered about Paul's message (Torah done away with) that is in stark contrast to YHVH"s and Yeshua's  ("if you love Me, keep My commandments")?  If you have not wondered before, perhaps it is time to reconcile some contradictions in scripture.

For instance, if YHVH tells His people for over 4000 years that salvation is by faith (Abrahamic covenant) and sanctification is by the Torah (Mosaic covenant), when did that all change?  Where is the conversation or the instruction from our Father that there would be a new message, or a new teaching. or a new gospel?  Obviously, Evangelical Christianity says this must have happened in Arabia.  But should we really place our eternal destiny on the assumption that our Heavenly Father or His Messiah secretly gave a new message to Paul that has impacted every generation since?  Does that make any of you uncomfortable, especially since we aren't privy to that conversation?  Wasn't a person to be stoned to death if he brought a different message than what YHVH wrote with His own hand and spoke with His own mouth?

When every single person in the New Testament, including Paul, quoted the Torah or the Prophets and writings and the only "scripture" they referred to was the Old Testament, how does it make sense to anyone that it is nailed to the cross or done away with?  Could those scriptures actually be talking about the curse of the Torah and not the Torah itself?  Couldn't it be the curse or being "under the law" or under it's penalty, that Paul is referencing?  Afterall, ALL scripture must reconcile.  ALL scripture must agree if it is truth.  ALL scripture must not contradict itself....  That is.... IF it is considered "scripture".

The answer to these questions has definitely been a challenging one to reveal.  For a few years now, I have shared these contradictions and even shown the evidence refuting the teaching of Evangelical Christianity to whomever would listen.  Not many will listen, unfortunately.  Not many seem to care that Paul, himself taught Torah, lived by Torah and upheld Torah.  The "good news" is that Messiah has come.....the One that Torah spoke of.....the One whose sacrifice would put an end to the curse of sin/death.  But the bad news is that men would always have a problem with their own flesh being in control.  And when that happens, truth gets distorted and the message gets changed.  Anyone who cares can do a minimal amount of research and see that the Sabbath day was changed by the government and the Roman Catholic church.  But not just anyone will care enough about that fact to look a little closer at the issue.  But what if our eternity depends on whether the Holy Spirit actually does reside in us?  What if the evidence of the Holy Spirit's residency is the ability and willingness to lay down what is false and accept what is true?  What if only the TRUE child of YHVH is humble enough to be taught by Him alone and not hold onto the doctrines and teachings of men?  

What if these scriptures are true?  

Why is the Sabbath so important?  Because it is about WORSHIP.  Who do we worship?  When do we worship?  How do we worship?  Is it according to the mouth of the Lord (7th day, Saturday) or according to the false teaching of men (1st day, Sunday)?  The Sabbath is the beginning of a transformed mind.  It is the act of bowing the knees even if you don't understand or agree.  It is the "surrender" He is looking for.  It's like the Priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant, (Torah) on the edge of a flooded Jordan River.  They had to step their foot in before the waters parted and they could see clear to cross over to the promised land.  Do you see the picture?  Obedience is when the Holy Spirit can begin transforming the mind of the flesh into one who has been and will continue to be in Arabia (taught by the Spirit) until Y'shua returns.  Because on that day.....it will be revealed WHO we follow.

My prayer is that we all will at least be willing to search with all our heart, mind, soul and strength and have the courage to walk in truth even if we walk alone.
