Majoritarianism and the Coming "Judgment" and "Salvation" Introduction   Lately, I've been learning to leave all results—“good” or “bad”—to God who alone is the fair and righteous judge of mankind.    The debate about our fate as sinners in view of God’s grace and mercy is, in my view, almost a waste of time; time can be better spent by "letting your light" (witness of peacemaking and mercy, and "poorness of spirit"--meekness) so shine before men that "they may behold your good works and praise God."

In this case, brother Chapman has written an exceptional expose with sources at the end. This is published by permission. Nothing has been altered.  Summary : As disclosed by Paul himself, he was born a Roman citizen (Acts 22:27-28); he was a kinsman of the Herodian family (Romans 16:11); he was closely connected with King Agrippa I and II's Aristobarus-clan (Romans 16:10); and his real name was Saul (Acts 7:58, 8:1-3). According to the Herodian family tree diagram prepared by Eisenman (2019:309), Saulus Herod the Great's great-nephew and King Agripps II's first cousin twice removed. Based on Paul's personal details and Saulus' genealogy, and considering Paul's debasement of the veganism of the Jerusalem Council, his attack
