No, you are wrong about script. And, yes, I could be wrong, but this is what I remember the script saying in that Nebuchad chose Daniel and select Jews because they were educated! But I will go back and look at the reference to make sure I did not make a mistake in my reference source.
I had to go back and reread Chapter One of Daniel myself. Yes, the the king did pick them 1st because they were of the royal family and of nobility. And being that they were, they were highly educated. But Daniel had the ups on them all in his ability to intrepret and visions that came from God.
You are diverting. The scriptures say what Paul said and he detailed his own background. He did NOT say that he was a Hellenist Jew, but again, that is a diversion. I pointed out that he was educated on SCRIPT. You are providing no valid references about Paul. You just want people to believe you.
Paul was a Hellenist Jew. Paul was a Roman citizen. He was well versed in Roman and Greek culture and often used it in explaining the Gospel. He himself had adopted some of the ways (those not sinful and those that were sinful he gave up after his conversion) of Roman and Greek culture.
To become a Roman citizen one's father had to be a Roman citizen. Paul's father was Jewish but how did Paul's father become a Roman citizen? Some suggest that his father and mother may have been slaves who gained there freedom and the father was made a Roman citizen. Paul's father may of had some official betow Roman citizenship upon him. Some even suggest that Paul's father was a Roman or Greek who converted to Judaism. We do know that Paul while growing up was trained in Jewish law and scripture by Gamaliel (probably the best in knowledge of Jewish law and scripture). So Paul didn't come from a poor family. In fact, the Jews were surprised that he could speak Aramaic. Acts 22: 1-3 (confirms he is a Jew to the Mesopotamian Jews or non-Hellenist Jews), Acts 21: 37-38 (mistaken for an Egyptian by a Roman officer), and Acts 22: 29 (confirms Paul as a Roman citizen).
We do know that Paul was dark in complexion. In other words, he had dark skin (maybe not black), but he was mistaken for an Egyptian. At least one of his parents (his mother) had dark skin, if not both.
Again, this is your opinion. The Bible Books are ascribed to Peter, but you don't want to believe in the Bible. LOL. You want people to just believe you! LOL.
Just because someone's name has been ascribed to a book doesn't mean they wrote it. Many were illiterate and had scribes to write for them. Peter may very well been illiterate as he was a commoner and a fisherman with little or no education. Mark and Peter had a close relationship. The Gospel of Mark is Peter telling Mark about Jesus which Mark wrote. How could Mark know those things? The same with 1st. Peter. It shows Mark style. However, 2nd Peter had an all together different style of writing than 1st Peter. Many believe that Mark may have not written it but the author of Jude. 2nd Peter was written after both Peter and Mark had passed.
That has nothing to do with the Books of Peter. You just want people to believe you! LOL.

Oh yes, I have provided references to all that I have stated. My research on all that I have addressed is well reserched with references in this very community in the Black Christian section. And again, due to your request in your recent post, I would not honor your request for you because you have not done the same. You just want people to believe you. All of my statements have a source!-- a VALID reference source.
