Oh, yes, I forgot, everything has to go through +Paul. With some Christians, he is the prism through which everything is interpreted, even Christ's own words. Where is "grace alone" (even "faith alone") in the Beatitudes? Or are they not important because +Paul doesn't interpret them? Why not change the name from Christians to Paulines?. Where does the OT, not Galatians, say we are saved by grace alone?Well -- then just rip all those Pauline Epistles out of that Bible of yours and be done with it.

Well -- then just rip all those Pauline Epistles out of that Bible of yours and be done with it Tha's one way to do it. The other way is to interpret Paul through the Gospels (which Christians believe are the living words of Chirst). Now, which is more important? Christ or Paul? Obviously, some think Paul.

Well -- then just rip all those Pauline Epistles out of that Bible of yours and be done with it. That's what I don't get. Why don't they see that when they mock those who believe that Paul's writings are true, they are also mocking Paul, as well as God? Oh well. I guess for some, parts of God's truth are truthier than others. :)
