Product Description

An attorney argues the inspired New Testament consists of Jesus' words only. Paul's status is questioned. First, Paul never made a valid prophecy. Second, Paul must be rejected under Deut. 13:5 because he taught the Law of Moses was nullified. Lastly, Jesus most likely intended we understand Paul was the person in Rev. 2:2 whom the Ephesians put on trial and proved was a false apostle. This Ephesus trial is alluded to in Acts ch. 19. Paul refers to it several times as well.

Customer Reviews

I wish this book had been available years ago.
The author of Jesus' Words Only has written a comprehensive review of the two competing gospels in the Bible, that of the Messiah and his Apostles versus that of "Apostle" Paul. A lawyer, he fully documents his case that Paul and his followers are announced in the prophesies of false prophets who test Israel (Deut. 13:3), of Benjamin as a wolf that ravened (Gen. 49:27), and as Balaam who assisted in placing a stumbling block in the way of Israel (Numbers 22-23 and Revelation 2:14). He brings out the striking parallel of Balaam's "Road to Moab Experience" and Paul's "Road to Damascus Experience" that I had not seen before.

This author brings to light how Messiah's warning against false prophets and apostles in the Gospels and in Revelation point clearly to Paul. John, in his First and Second Epistles warns against Paul, a man who boasted of NOT getting his gospel from the Apostles, but rather by revelation of Christ in the Arabian desert, which is precisely where Messiah told his followers NOT to look for him (Matthew 24:26).

Mr. Del Tondo has not only covered what is in the Bible concerning these competing gospels, but he addresses the record of Church history, bringing to light new evidences that Paul is not who he proclaimed himself to be. He warns that the canon was put together with no Scriptural direction. He documents that Paul provides proof for docetism, the belief rejected by John, and later taught by Marcion, that Messiah only appeared to come in human flesh.

Mr. Del Tondo points Christians clearly to the Messiah and the true, everlasting Gospel, a gospel not of faith only, but of faith and works.

Many people write of how the apparent contradictions between Paul and the rest of the Bible can be understood. Honest readers need to realise that these contradictions are real, as Calvin and Luther understood. These men dealt with the contradictions by saying that Paul was correct. Mr. Del Tondo argues that it is Messiah who is correct and that YHWH allows a different gospel into the Bible to test the hearts of His people, as to whether they really love him.

Deu 13:3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for YHWH your God proveth you, to know whether ye love YHWH your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

I have rejected Paul as an apostle for seven years now and have a website bringing together others who have seen the dangers of Paul (http://yahuah.org). Jesus' Words Only is a long overdue book that has finally brought to light many issues I have struggled with through these years.

An indictment of Pauline Dispensationalism
This book is an outstanding addition to the growing awareness among scholars and historians that there is something fundamentally wrong with the doctrine of the self-professed apostle Paul as it relates to other New Testament and Old Testament doctrine. Mr. Del Tondo's trenchant analysis of Paul's incompatibility with the teachings of Jesus also exposes dispensationalist doctrine as the fraud it truly is when it futilely and superficially attempts to overcome the contradictions between Jesus and Paul by assigning each doctrine to a separate and compartmentalized "church age" or "dispensation".

This book should get seven stars!
It is the very next book that everyone should read right after reading the Bible. It should be required reading at every seminary... and every Paulinist required to come up with a defense case for Paul. With tongue in cheek, I'd like to wish them all... GOOD LUCK. The author, Mr. Del Tondo, a professional lawyer, reopens a nearly 2000 year old cold case (originally begun by James) against Paul's claim of apostleship and his unique gospel. Many observant readers have noticed this case was never closed in the record of the book of Acts. Mr. Del Tondo's prosecution and cross-examination of all pertinent witnesses, combined with the facts of history, so effectively destroys Paul's claim of authority to teach his law-less gospel that I dare say before one is even halfway through the author's case against him, no impartial juror would even consider acquitting Paul. Mr. Del Tondo's case is just that solid.

By the end of the book, the author has firmly established that the only words in the NT that should be canonized as infallible are the words of Jesus... ALL others are to agree with The Master or be rejected.

I predict this book becomes a MAJOR thorn in the side of those individual Christians and entire Christian institutions who feel compelled for whatever reason to continue placing their trust in Paul's words and doctrine over those of the Savior himself. If you have ever wondered at, or had even a moment's hesitation at something Paul said, you absolutely must read this book... then give it to your Paulinistic preachers, teachers, friends and relatives and ask them to mount a logical defense for Paul.

In the last chapter of the book of Daniel it is prophesied that at the end of this age just before Messiah comes (Jesus returns) when everyone is running "to and fro", it says... "Knowledge shall be increased". I have no doubt that this book goes a long way toward fulfilling that prophecy. In this same chapter of Daniel a promise is given, "Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever." I believe Mr. Del Tondo has a lot to look forward to!
