Kosta. Scripture ISN'T difficult to understand when you have the Spirit of God.

As to the Scriptures being tampered with, you reveal even more of yourself in that statement than in your anti-Paul ranting. Sorry, the words of Jon Dominic Crossan and the like are not a substitute for the words of historians and the evidence through the ages. God HAS preserved his message to mankind. Only religious liberals think he hasn't.

1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Again, if you have the Spirit of God indwelling you, it is not hard to understand Scripture.

I still do not why you identify yourself with Christianity. It seems that Unitarian Universalism would be more fitting.

You know, Mohammad claims the Koran was dictated word-by-word by God. One billion people believe him.

+Paul says he received Christ in an instant. That's what he says. gnostics claim the same thing. Why should i believe you, +Paul, Gnostics or Mohammad?

Maybe +Paul did maybe he didn't. I don't know. The Apostles were not all convinced immediately and only one or two supposedly say soemthing about him.

What +Paul did was necessary for the Church to survive. It required radical changes.

Blogger, you can disparage scientists and historians and some probably deserve it, because all people have some agenda. That is your right. But facts show that +Paul's works are not all the same, don't use the same words and grammar, and even the message differs from one to the other. There is a pattern of early works and those written later supposedly by +Paul.
