I don’t dismiss St. Paul. I just don’t like him. Or much of what he wrote.

I don't blame you...Paul brings the hammer down on the Catholic church...

Just as the Gospels are God breathed words written to the Jewish people to reveal the Messiah and His Kingdom to them before the Crucifixion, Paul's epistles are the God breathed words written to the Gentiles (and everyone else) to reveal their (our) opportunity for salvation and the formation and operation of the churches after the Crucifixion and Resurrection...

I never heard of a Christian that didn't like Paul or what Jesus showed him to tell us...

LOL....The Beatitudes demonstrate the emptiness of the Calvinist based Protestantisms. The requirement to earn Salvation through the good works embodied in the Beatitudes completely negates the concept of the TULIPS. This explains why Calvin worked so hard to trivialize them.

Prove it. Chapter and verse please.

The quotes of Jesus are God breathed to all men. You're welcome.

No, he doesn't.

Well, you have now.
