The Official APOSTLE PAUL thread

[2 Up 2 Down]

Ok fair enough. But I think your understanding of Christianity is a subjective one and doesn’t define it.

Your Christianity isn’t “my Christianity”. And I’m actually a follower of Jesus so naturally I’d know better than you (although you haven’t made it clear what you believe ).

Belief in Paul isn’t what defines someone as a “Christian” neither is it a condition to get “eternal life”

Why is Paul so important to Christianity in your eyes?

I’d say Muhammad is the second most important person in Christianity currently. If you study him and Islam it opens the door to a deeper understanding of the Bible and early Christian history

And considering how Islam is the “fastest growing religion” in the world today, why aren’t you studying the historical Muhammad and Arabia?

Muhammad is more influential and relevant in todays current religious landscape than Paul.

Or do you have special interest in Christianity alone because you USED TO BE one?

Without Paul opening up Christianity to where gentiles didn't have to make changes to join, Christianity would've been a forgotten subset religion of Judaism

Breh, Jesus opened up faith in “the father” to everyone by proving it was never closed to begin with.

Now you’re thinking like a 1st century Jew.

Judaism is the story of God setting the stage and paving the way for the messiah to come so people who will know him.

Read the Bible

Paul is just relaying the message/teachings of Jesus to “spread the gospel to all ends of the earth”.

“Jesus would’ve failed without Paul”

It nice that this is your opinion. History proves otherwise:

History accounts Jesus death, resurrected, prophethood and title as “king of Jews”….. and that he was Jewish.

Moving on…..

So are you gonna answer:

Were you once a Christian? Raised Christian?

You said you’re not religious but that doesn’t mean anything.

What do you actually believe?

If you’re a Hebrew Israelite just say it

If you’re Jehovah Witness that fine with me

Seems like Paul is just a proxy for you to justify not believing in Jesus like mainstream “Christians” do.

You can’t attack Jesus so you aim at Paul and try rewriting history….. excluding Paul.

The problem is, your argument is from pure speculation, imagination and “what if” scenarios in an alternate timeline.

Purely hypothetical. Mental gymnastics.

All this trouble because you have some issue with Christians or the Church?

Clearly this is the “root” of your Paul obsession.

I could be wrong though
