Paul, the ancients, called him Homo Tricubitalis.

What we know of Paul of the New Testament is from Paul, his lies, and I am going to show you that two thousand years ago, Paul was the Donald J. Trump Wannabe, pathological liar of his day.  However, that where the resemblance ends between the fibbers.   Trump is said to be 6′-3″(?) tall, and a tub of lard at 244 pounds (0.12 ton) as of 2020, while the ancients called Saul homo tricubitalis (man three cubits in height (4’-6”) in Acts 9:1).  Other ancient names used was the Roman name Paulus/Paul for small, then we have statura brevis (short Stature), μικρό σε ύψος (small in height), pusillus (puny, weenie).

In this post, I am going to use just one of the Pauline verses, to prove to you, the reader, of Paul’s biblical lies, and all we know of Paul is made-up.

Romans 11:1.  Paul utters in this verse two things, the anachronism Jew (the English term Jew originates from the Biblical Hebrew word Yehudi, meaning “from the Kingdom of Judah”), and the Tribe of Benjamin.

Define Paul’s Jewishness (?).

Paul tells us that he is from Tarsus, a Greek city state in the Roman Province of Cilicia (today Turkey), which does not make him an original Yehudi.  However, in his day to have the equivalent term Israelite/Yehudi or even the son of Isra’el, one had to be born in the old kingdom of Judah.  In addition, the ancient writers, including Jerome, author of the Vulgate.  Claimed Paul was from Gischala (today Jish), and his parent were Greek pagans.  Gischala was probably one of the most northerly towns in the province of Upper Galilee, just a mile, or so, from the Assyrian border.  Northern Israel was known as Galilee of the Gentiles [Matthew 4:15-16 NABRE] and those who lived in the north of Israel were Samaritans.

2 Corinthians 12:16—Paul, himself, admitted to being a liar.

History of the Tribe of Benjamin according to Judges.                                                                           

The Books of Judges, on the extermination of the Tribe of Benjamin, according to the OT, happened during the period of the unified Kingdom of Israel before the split in 931 BCE.  With the tribe of Judah annexing the lands of the tribe of Benjamin.  Judges 20:41-48 states the army of the Benjaminites was annihilated, and only 600 Benjamin warriors were left alive, and who has fled into the wilderness to hide.  But not one of the surviving Benjaminites were named OT.  In Judges 21, the Israelites are sad because they had slaughtered all the other Benjamin tribe, and burnt their cities and towns, and destroyed their animals.  However, the Israelites wanted to make amends, and wanted to give the last 600 Benjamin men wives.   But because of an oath, the Israelites could not give them Israelite wives. (18 We can’t give them our daughters as wives, since we Israelites have taken this oath: ‘Cursed be anyone who gives a wife to a Benjamite.’ Judges 21:18.). The 600 Benjamin men were instructed by the Israelite leader to abduct foreign non-Israelite women.  Paul is suggesting that he is from the tribe of Benjamin, which was possibly annihilated a thousand years before his birth.  Furthermore, some 600-years before Paul’s time, in 586 BCE, The Kingdom of Judah was destroyed, along with the last King of Judah and the end of the Davidic lineage, and the tribal system.

How can Paul Claim to be a Yehudi, when he was born elsewhere, or that he came from an obsolete tribe?
