    Melhor citação de Did Paul Create Christianity? Paul vs. James and Peter Explained

    “

    Paul took the 'indie' movement of Jesus and turned it into a 'major label' global religion, moving the focus from 'lived compassion' to 'correct alignment' and from imitating Jesus' behavior to believing in his status.

    Pergunta de entrada

    Did Paul create Christianity. Did he event the religion. If we look at it from a point of view of where the structure of the church is actually built on Paul. Does James condemn Paul. And that funny businesss in Peter about Paul , and second Peter , a forgery ? Contirdicts Jesus and law, the sheer fact that Jesus warned us about people saying they see him. We will all see. He claims authority above James and Peter. Like a Mormon, he claims direct revelation. Rebukes “the rock” Peter and wins.
