The original writings of Paul were very Gnostic works--the going thing in those days. They were later rewritten to reflect prevailing Roman beliefs.

And your proof of these assertations is....?

Paul's original writings were Gnostic? Do you have copies of them squirreled away somewhere that you can offer as proof?

You haven't been studying some Bart Ehrman, have you?

Well if you say so.

So true.

The real apostle Paul was nothing like the misogynistic, racist, bigoted, homophobic corruption that his writings were twisted into.

I have stuning PROOF based on the artwork of Michaelangelo that an unbroken line of neo-oppressive secret scribes are responsible for the theft of gnostic beliefs away from its' pure beginnings in Palestine when it was occupied by the Roman invaders 2000 years ago. The Romans were bent on genocide against the gentle occupants of Palestine, who are the direct forefathers of the current oppressed inhabitants of the land, exemplified by His Excellency Imam Yasser Arafat.

The cabal of conspirators that are organizing this effort are manifested in the modern day activities of Karl Rove, Billy Graham and Dr. Steve Johnson.

Be very careful of this group of people!

Considering Paul was a third generation Roman, they naturally were Roman, however Paul was also a member of the Sanhedrin prior to salvation and after being chosen by Christ to be an apostle, then bestowed with that spiritual gift by the Holy Spirit, he wrote Scripture.

On FreeRepublic, when one makes half-assed, tinfoil remarks like the above, they're expected to actually provide evidence pointing to their viewpoint.
