I was watching some You Tube videos last night and after watching a few, from a person that uses the name, a branch of the true vine.(put that all together.) I noticed that while this person makes wonderful videos, he or she never used verses from our Paul.
So I sent this person a few questions about, if this was more or less intentional? I'd like to post the reply this person sent back, and then highly recommend to anyone, watch the videos. They are nicely done and really drives home the point being made.

"Hello idiot, < my personal name for me.
You are correct in your observation -- I do not accept the writings of Paul.
I used to support and even defend his writings, often with great fervor. However, I came to a point of just simply reading what he wrote in totality (not going by chapters/verses) and then compared it to Torah and to what Messiah taught; Paul failed this test miserably.
When I ceased from my acrobatic efforts to reconcile Paul's letters everything became very clear to me, at that moment I made a choice. I follow the Instructions of The Creator (Torah) which were reinforced, taught, lived, and demonstrated by Messiah.
While other YouTube channels make videos about Paul in a blunt manner I choose rather to make the video in a way that will force the viewer to "connect the dots". I do not want to "destroy" any "babies" who are unable to digest a blunt anti-Paul video...I am not sure that I would have been able to do so in the beginning of my own journey. Some see it, some don't; but nevertheless the ultimate message in my video is pure: obey Our Father, follow what Messiah taught.
If I may so humbly offer on the subject of homosexuality and Messiah: when He said not one jot nor one tittle will pass from Torah He meant it. Even though He did not publicly speak out against it He did when He said that. Now please understand that I am NOT judging anyone...i have known some very beautiful souls who are homosexual who would give me the shirt off of their back should I need it...in fact they practiced "love your neighbor" more than many claim to do. I have a family member who is homosexual and I still love her. Nevertheless, Messiah did not condone a practice that is forbidden in Torah, He could not have. If Messiah had taught anything against Torah then He would have been a false prophet, and not the Messiah. I hope that makes sense.
I can't thank you enough for your kind words, your encouragement, and the time you took to share something so personal with me. I treasure such messages. If I may be so bold, not to sound as a "big shot", but I am so proud of you. So few can see past Paul and figure it out for themselves. You must have an amazing intellect and open heart to be willing to question such a traditional doctrine for yourself. I am impressed."
