Guest guest Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 I'm not the original poster, but many people believe that much of Paul's writings contradict the teachings of Jesus. Books have been written about this controversy.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 you're right, this is way off topic... It's odd how groups with focus's often get side tracked by things that do not have anything to do with the topic. It probably has something to do with human nature.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 I don't like wandering away from the topic of raw food so much, but these are certainly issues that strike a cord with me. From The Urantia Book: P.2091 - §10 Some day a reformation in the Christian church may strike deep enough to get back to the unadulterated religious teachings of Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. You may preach a religion about Jesus, but, perforce, you must live the religion of Jesus. In the enthusiasm of Pentecost, Peter unintentionally inaugurated a new religion, the religion of the risen and glorified Christ. The Apostle Paul later on transformed this new gospel into Christianity, a religion embodying his own theologic views and portraying his own personal experience with the Jesus of the Damascus road. The gospel of the kingdom is founded on the personal religious experience of the Jesus of Galilee; Christianity is founded almost exclusively on the personal religious experience of the Apostle Paul. Almost the whole of the New Testament is devoted, not to the portrayal of the significant and inspiring religious life of Jesus, but to a discussion of Paul's religious experience and to a portrayal of his personal religious convictions. The only notable exceptions to this statement, aside from certain parts of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, are the Book of Hebrews and the Epistle of James. Even Peter, in his writing, only once reverted to the personal religious life of his Master. The New Testament is a superb Christian document, but it is only meagerly Jesusonian. rawfood , John de la Garza <john@j...> wrote: > Paul was a Christian and promoted the religion zealously according to > the Bible > Why do you say he had his own religion?
