sure i hate Pauline theology. he's a misogynist who believed in slavery and kissing the rears of any authority.
Saul hardly threw out the forms of legalism when he set up a system that would perpetuate it. as far as i can tell, Jesus never condemned or hated any but the hypocrite, but Saul/Paul'
s good about saying who is and isn't going into heaven. now and then he had a glimpse of insight, but only that. i can admire him for his fanatical obsession, which let him endure a lot of suffering, but that doesn't necessaril
y mean that he was right.
i don't care for him deciding which of God's gifts is more important than others. i don't care for his condoning slavery. i don't care for him saying women have no right to speak in church, or that a man is the 'head' of the woman. i don't necessaril
y care for his judgments on sexual relations, either.
Jesus never said anything about that.
Saul/Paul'
s version of Christiani
ty is the direct cause of 2000 years of war and suffering throughout the world, if you've ever read any history.
he even gives a rundown of everyone who saw Jesus after the Resurrecti
on, yet convenient
ly ignores the women, especially Mary Magdalene, whom all Gospels say was present.
nope. . .don't care for the boy at all.
