Are we on the same planet?
The same Galactic Cluster?
Has Stargate SG-1 struck this thread?
Has Alice's rabbit hole sucked us in?
Thankfully, I missed out on that revisionism in my spiritual education.
God had a dozen ways to insure Christianity's success. He happened to have chosen Paul as PART of the picture.
The One capable of raising rocks up as children of Abraham was not limited to Paul's Spirit-Filled efforts . . .
But Paul's Spirit-Filled efforts were wonderously sufficient.
OK,
we now return you to a regularly scheduled rocks-at-St-Paul throwing session . . .
Revisionism? Are you denying that the Church in Israel was dying? Did not Christ predict that? Did our Lord ever call the faithful 'saints?' Are you denying that +Paul changed the laws given by God through Moses regarding the diet? Does your church have women preachers? Are they covered?
Are you denying that the theology and vocabulary of later works attributed to +Paul are different from his earlier authenticated Epistles? Was there anyone else in Jerusalem who advocated doing away with circumcision (which is equivalent to saying that new converts don't need to be baptized!)?
Is the world still flat?
