Your comment seems a lot like those made by liberals when they claim conservatives hate poor people and destroy the environment.
And in fact I have saw comments right here on F.R that Paul invented Christianity.
There was a big argument about that very subject.
I believe you and I have a different starting point so we can never see anything the same way.
I am not fit to be a Church member so I am not one, a member of the Church must be some one who will edify Christ`s Church.
The early Church demanded that members give their life to the Church, all of it, they worked every day for the Church.
Ananias and his wife held back, they wanted what the Church had to offer but did not want to give their all to the Church, they were dead.
Most Christians today are members in name only, like going to Church an hour or two a week is going to get any one to heaven.
The early Church was not trying to get every one in Church to save them, they were inviting believers in to help preach the gospel.
Paul no doubt preached the gospel but most of his letters to the Churches had very little to do with the Gospel that Jesus preached but rather was letters to the Church members
in regards to the job that was assigned to them.
So what does a visitor to most Churches hear? they hear more of Paul`s letters to the Church members than they do the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Liberal?
is just a word that has lost its real meaning.
For that reason I would rather eat sh... than be called a liberal.
Liberal is mentioned in the O.T people called them selves liberal but they were not liberal.
Then provide a link, because I remember a thread recently that ASKED that question and I don't recall ANYONE who was a Christian stating that they believed that Paul invented Christianity.
Provide a link to the comments, please.
Indeed it is!
