Dear Ted,

My wife, Carolyn, and I have appreciated your ministry for many years. Our family was blessed by your Tabernacle gatherings at the Green Pastures Conference in Illinois several years ago.

There are some doctrinal areas where we disagree, and all men have should test their doctrines in order to bring them in line with what God wants us to do.

One of your most recent messages was about 1 Timothy 4:3-4, where Paul tells us that every creature of God is good and not to be refused. This implies that the dietary laws have become obsolete. Romans 14:14 is along the same line, where Paul implies that nothing is unclean. This appears to be a new doctrine by Paul.

In a similar manner, Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 8 that we can eat meat offered to idols, which is something that Christ condemned in Revelation 2:14, as did the other 12 Apostles in Acts 15:29.

Christ tells us in Matthew 5:17-20 that not the least part of the Law shall fail as long as heaven and earth are here. This would include the dietary laws. 1st Peter 1:16 also supports the dietary laws.

Yet Paul tells us in his epistles that either we are not under the law, or that part of the law has been nailed to the cross. Paul is a single witness in all of these statements, as Christ and the 12 Apostles do not ever validate Paul’s doctrines on the law, or anything else for that matter.

My question for you is, where does Paul get his authority to to issue these statements that are contrary to Christ and His doctrines?

Christ tells us in John 13:16 (using Young’s Literal) “Verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;” Paul is inferior to Christ, and Paul has never been authorized by Christ to create new doctrines contrary to the teachings of Christ.

Christ warned us in Matthew 24 about Paul, or anyone else that claims to have seen Christ after His Ascension:

Matthew 24: 26 “Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers, believe it not.”

Where did Paul see Christ? In the desert. Where did Ananias see Christ? In his secret chambers. What did Christ tell us about Paul and Ananias? Don’t believe them, because everyone will see Christ when He returns. This is how Christ predicted that Paul would lie to us about his “Road to Damascus" experience.

Paul also lied to James in Acts 21:21-26 by being purified when James confronted Paul about Paul teaching others to forsake the law of Moses and not to circumcise their children, a doctrine which Paul teaches in nearly all of his epistles.

Paul taught the Ephesians in Eph 2:14 that the middle wall of partition had been broken down, which apparently was believed by Trophimus the Ephesian who entered the Temple in Acts 21:29. This created an uproar where Paul was arrested and blamed.

Then in Acts 23:6, when Paul was brought before the Sanhedrin about his arrest, Paul lied in court and said that he was a Pharisee (and not a Christian), and that he was arrested because he believed in the resurrection of the dead, and not about bringing Greeks into the Temple.

Paul lied again before Felix when accused of profaning the temple with Trophimus (Acts 24:6) and said that he could not have done it, since he believed all things written in the law and the prophets (Acts 24:14), which is another lie. Paul has said the law has been abolished many times.

This man Paul, who believes that he can bear false witness in the Name of Christ, and make the “truth of God abound through my lie” (Romans 3:7) – this man Paul who is a liar – is the main source of false doctrines for every dispensationalist church (Eternal security, original sin, Calvinism, etc). Nearly every church is based on the lies of Paul, while they reject the teachings of Christ as “Old Covenant.”

Paul is the false apostle of Revelation 2:2, that was put on trial and found to be a liar. Paul does not meet the qualification of an apostle in Acts 1:21-22. Christ said there were only 12 Apostles to judge the 12 Tribes of Israel (Luke 22:30), and there are only 12 Apostles for the 12 foundations of the city in Revelation 21:14. There is no “13th Apostle” in the Bible, other than the false apostle Paul.

How and when did Paul became an Apostle? Was it in Acts 9:15 when Christ supposedly spoke to Ananias in his secret chambers about Paul? Or was it when Paul saw Christ in a vision in the Temple (Acts 22:17-21)? Or was it when Paul apparently forgot all about Ananias and the Temple vision, and Christ made Paul into an Apostle on the Road to Damascus in Acts 26:17? Why does Paul’s story keep changing every time he tells it? Why did the men traveling with Paul disappear, so there were no real witnesses to Paul’s supposed conversion? Because Paul’s conversion story is a lie, as Christ predicted.

Paul has produced great signs and wonders, and if it were possible, he has deceived the very elect. (Mt 24:24). This is the test of Deuteronomy 13:1-11, as Paul has told us to abandon the Law of God and to serve the doctrines of men. Study Hab 2:4, The just shall live by being faithful, not “faith”, another lie.

My challenge to you, Ted R. Weiland, is for the rest of 2023 to preach only from the Words of Christ, and to abandon the words of Paul for 2023. We all need the religion OF Christ, and not Paul’s religion ABOUT Christ.

Even just 8 months of your teaching from the Words of Christ would give you and everyone that listens to you a great blessing. And you would have to study the differences between the doctrines of Paul and Christ, like salvation (Matt 19:16-19), or who runs the governments of men (Luke 4:5-7), the false doctrine of paid preachers (Mt 10:8) and many other doctrines. The religion of Christ is entirely different from the religion of Paul.

Blessings to you and your family,

John Hurt
