(Paul=Jesus) Message-ID: <765@ccice5.UUCP> Date: Tue, 9-Apr-85 12:40:51 EST Article-I.D.: ccice5.765 Posted: Tue Apr 9 12:40:51 1985 Date-Received: Fri, 12-Apr-85 04:40:10 EST Distribution: net Organization: CCI Central Engineering, Rochester, NY Lines: 13 I constantly see people using the writings of Paul to support or attack a stand. This has always bothered me because there are some things in Paul's writings that I can't accept. Some even seem to contradict the words of Jesus in the Gospels. Now as I see it (and I'm sure I'll hear from the one's whom disagree!), Paul was trying to establish and consolidate the first Christian church. Leaving aside the "divine inspiration" argument (and I'm sure I'll be told you can't do that), what else is there to show that his word should be law? I was brought-up RC and we were told this was the Pope's job. [:- )] I have this problem with putting the words of Paul on an equal ground with those of Jesus. Comments? (what a silly question!) *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
