Jesus Christ is Alive

Even though Acts of Paul was written 2nd Century, the Acts of Paul were predominately circulated during the 3rd century by the early church. Then removed from circulation.  It is part of the earliest and major works of the early church.  Also known as part of the New Testament Apocrypha.  It was first mentioned by Tertullian in the 2nd Century. 

Shepherd of Hermas was initially part of the scripture shared with the early church during the 2nd & 3rd century.  This is only a short audio extract of the 4hr Audiobook version of Shepherd of Hermas.  Commandments of God are good, the consequences for ignoring them and the rewards for keeping them through Holy Spirit. Matt. 5:17-19, Yeshua said, Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Foxe's book of martyrs is 1 of 3 books that the pilgrims brought to the US.  1) Geneva Bible 2) Pilgrim's Progress 3) Foxe's book of martyrs.  Education of the children were based on these books.  This is the 1st hour of 12 hours audiobook. Tertullian defends the believers and demands legal toleration in the Roman Empire, this is where one finds the phrase: "the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church"

After reviewing over 50 short testimonies of out of body experiences (OBE) and near death experiences (NDE). Here are my Top 5 on Hell.   More videos can be found - https://heavenscatalyst.org/witness/yeshua-is-eternal-life/ Place for those who have not accepted God's plan to free them of their sins - Yeshua.  They will not be going to Heaven because their sin remains.  The place for non believers is a place called Hades and Death.  They will remain there until judgement day, where they will be judged based on their works.  It will be more tolerable for those who haven’t heard of Yeshua than those who have and rejected Him (Matt. 11:24).  In the book of Revelation, John speaks of what he sees, Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away.  There was found no place for them.  I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened.  Now another book was opened, which is the Book of Life.  The dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them.  And they were judged, each one according to his works.  Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire.  This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire” (Rev. 20:11-15).

After reviewing over 50 short testimonies of out of body experiences (OBE) and near death experiences (NDE).  Here are my Top 5 on Heaven.  Video can be found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCTSzMl1FOE Those who share testimonies about Heaven are they lying or are they telling the truth? A Pastor said, "Anyone who gives a testimony about Heaven is lying as Jesus said, "No one has ascended to Heaven" (John 3:13). Pity he didn't quote Jesus properly and using it to support his doctrine. Is Yeshua contradicting what was said earlier in scripture as both Elijah and Enoch ascended into Heaven? Obviously not. Could Yeshua be meaning that no one can talk about things they don’t know about? Correct, they can’t talk about Heaven unless they have seen it, it is not that no one has seen things in Heaven or been to Heaven. For example; Moses has seen heavenly things but didn’t necessarily go to Heaven (Heb. 8:5 - Same with Ezekiel etc.). Also, both Enoch and Elijah went to Heaven but didn’t come down to tell what they saw. This is the context. Yeshua said, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man HAS ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven (John 3:11-13).” Perfect interpretation is when all scripture is in harmony and nothing is in tension. If it is in tension then it is not good interpretation. We also know from scripture that this statement from Yeshua was before His resurrection. This was not a command, like “No one will ascend to Heaven and come down”, but more of a reflection that no one HAS gone to Heaven and come down to tell. We also know from scripture that after His resurrection, people did go to Heaven and did return to tell. We could say 20-25% of the New Testament writers went to Heaven and came back to tell (2/8-9) - Paul (or someone he knew 2 Cor. 12:1-4) and John (Rev. 4:1-2) who ascended to Heaven. Also, the whole book of Revelation is about what John saw and some of it was from Heaven. What about those people today who have said they have gone to Heaven and come down to tell, like Paul and John? Everything is measured according to the scripture. If they say something against Scripture, we discount it, nor is it a call to action, nor do we base doctrines on it. If what they say lines up with the scripture then let it be an encouragement, think about it, but we can’t say they are lying or from the Devil because we could be found speaking against Holy Spirit. This is very dangerous, just like the Pharisees who spoke against the miracles of Yeshua by attributing it to the Devil and Yeshua said that they were blaspheming Holy Spirit.”   https://heavenscatalyst.org/witness/yeshua-is-eternal-life/

Some of the reason's why Yeshua was against the Oral Law.  What does the Talmud (Oral Law) says about women (just like Islam). Extract from an audiobook called Rebutting Rabbinic Objections to Christianity & Messianic Prophecies by Eitan Bar.
