I guess the ones He came to save. Does He save some of em different than others?. . . which people? There are millions of people through many cultures through out humanityI consider salvation to be universal throughout the history of humanity, and each culture has its own criteria on what is 'salvation,' which is a a contradiction of vast proportions. The Christian view is the most paradoxical of a sacrifice required for salvation. Sacrifices to appease God or God(s) is an ancient human view of God, and presents contracdictions of the relationship between humanity and God.

Some of the things he says are hard to understand as Peter also wrote in the 2nd epistle of Peter. The thing is Paul was different and saw things from another perspective. But that doesn't mean he disagreed with the other apostles.What is it about his teachings that causes you disharmony?
Ok then, His people are those He came to save. How's that happen?I guess?!?!?! not good enough. There is no difference from than or the others.
Others say he invented a new religion and attributed it to someone he didn't even know.Some say because he only knew the risen Lord and not like the other Apostle knew Jesus in th flesh (The Word made flesh)
Most scholars these days think Paul didn't write 1 Timothy ─ instead a later author did, who fibbed that it was by Paul.What is it about his teachings that causes you disharmony?

But if Paul wrote 1 Timothy then the bit about having to pay your ministers (1 Timothy 5:17-18) is a bit rich for me. You pay ministers because you want to, not because you have to.
(Sex terrified him, but that's just Paul.)

Your post reminds me of Peter’s words words about Paul @ 2 Peter 3:16.If the Christian faith was based solely on the teachings of Christ without the influence of the NT letters, I doubt there would be so many different denominations. I think it was @Hockeycowboy that made the point that there was some 30,000 different Christian denominations. Most of those differences are based on interpretations of Pauls teachings whereas (to me anyway) the teachings of Jesus were much clearer. I think that without the writings of Paul (which BTW, Paul was writing letters not scripture), Christianity would be much clearer and simpler. IMHO of course.
Though I wonder what he would say about modern Christianity if he was alive today.
Not that far afield. Paul offered that salvation is by faith through the blood of Christ. I was just wondering if you thought that as well.We are getting really far afield, but nonetheless. Salvation is determined by God as we journey through many worlds. From my perspective. which is limited it would basically the sincerity of individual to do the will of God.
You keep making fun of Southern bbq and I might have to unfriend you.Paul's teaching have never rubbed me the right way or wrong. Much like a Louisianian BBQ he tends to smother me in self righteous verbilage.
Also what the role of Jesus as a Messiah?We are getting really far afield, but nonetheless. Salvation is determined by God as we journey through many worlds. From my perspective. which is limited it would basically the sincerity of individual to do the will of God.

LOL... Yes. And some say there is a Spaghetti god.Others say he invented a new religion and attributed it to someone he didn't even know.
