Jesus said a finite number of things in the New Testament, so we have interpretations of some of his thoughts on some things. Every fundamentalist church I attended when I was young was far more enthusiastic about the teachings of Paul.
- icebraining 9y agoRight, but Paul's writings is Scripture, which is Word of God, and Christ is God. How could Christ believe anything else?
- paloaltokid 9y agoI think you may be overthinking this a little, or applying philosophical reasoning where it doesn't quite make sense. If someone writes a book about me, that has nothing to do with me, even if the person who writes the book claims to know everything about me. Only I know what I believe and you should only assume I believe the things you hear me say, whether in word or in deed. EDIT: also, Paul never actually met Christ. He came along later after Christ had already been crucified. If you believe Paul's account, Christ revealed himself in a vision. But everyone agrees that Paul and Christ never actually met in person.
- paloaltokid 9y agoYep! I think modern fundamentalist Christians are actually more disciples of Paul than they are Christ.
