Well, if the apostle Paul was insane, then what God inspired him to write can be discarded.

See how it works?

But wasn't it the Protestants who discarded entire books from the Bible?

That does not follow at ALL, not for a minute!

This is the most amazing hatchet job on Judith Anne (or on anybody not currently a Republican president or presidential candidate) I think I have ever seen.

People are placing the worst possible construction on what JA said, outright ignoring some of what she said and then with their manufactured charge mobbing her.

It’s disgraceful.

Paul himself says that God uses the weakness of man. It is you all who claim to see Christ’s weakness on the cross as a defeat, while we use crucifixes to proclaim God’s victory in weakness. We, and I assume JA is included here, are perfectly capable of thinking that Paul was not altogether himself but still able tto be used by God to present inspired Scripture.

Luther, on the other hand, was the one who called the Letter of James a letter of straw. He clearly didn’t like it. JA doesn’t like Paul, but she quite clearly stated that she does not dismiss his writings or think that God made a mistake.

Then we'll need to chuck out Romans, I & II Corinthians,Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians,1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, and likely Hebrews.

What's left of the NT then? The gospels, I and II Peter, James, I, II, III John, Jude, and Revelation.

INDEED.

And if the bureaucratic political power mongering magicsterical wants to up its power and ignore or redefine out of existence some of God’s Word . . . they know very well how to do it from long practice.
