Paul the Apostle

[Gramps]

A discussion was started in another thread about Saul/Paul. I thought I would make a thread for it.

A couple of posters find a large amount of fault in Paul
while others find Paul to be a leader in spreading the Gospel of Christ.

Wasn't it Paul that said "I die daily"?

He and Raskolnikov are my two favorite literary characters.

 

[OrangeEmpire]

Paul was a fraud who rejected Christs message for his own.

 

[PoochPunt3rdDown]

What an interesting dichotomy...

 

[Gramps]

Yes

 

[OrangeEmpire]

What does I die daily prove?

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

What does I die daily prove?

I always thought he was referring to sin there. No?

 

[Gramps]

That is what i thought.
I think he is saying that he fails God. and sins daily.

OE i usually. agree with you on the religious. topics but not this one. I respect your opinion and i may be missing something.

you posted in the other thread that
" "
It really has to make you wonder, 2Cor 11: 12 through 15 tells us Paul admits to his conversion story being bogus and that he caused the split at the church in Corinth.
"

I read those verses and it appears to me that Paul is warning us against false prophets and there has been plenty of them.

He is directly talking about the apostles

I have read this several times. I just do not see that he is talking about the "apostles".

 

[OrangeEmpire]

Also a huge fan of Tudor Parfitt and fairly confident he found the final incarnation of the ark of the covenant.

I guess I'm missing something too.

Just must be me as a blind following Christian who will believe anything taught to me.

sorry, but no he isn't, he is speaking of those that oppose him and those that are satan's servants inside the church posing to be fellow christians and false apostles

Negative ghostrider, Paul is a fraud

 

[Gramps]

It was also stated earlier that Paul "blantantly rejects Christ in Romans 3."

i do not see Paul rejecting Christ in any of his writing.

 

[T-TownVol]

Negative ghostrider, Paul is a fraud
