| | Paul of Tarsus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Paul was also one of the first Christians to expound the doctrine of Christ's divine nature. | | | Maccoby believes that Paul's revelation was thus actually a resolution of his divided self; Paul subsequently fused the mystery religions, Judaism and the Passion of Jesus into an entirely new belief, centered on the death of Jesus as a mystical atoning sacrifice. | | | Paul believed the advantage of the Jews was their being entrusted with the oracles of heaven, and that the law was upon them. |

| | from jesus to christ: the first christians: paul's mission and letters |
| | Paul's notion that it was possible for gentiles to enter the congregation of God without some of the rules of Judaism interestingly enough seems to be a conviction on his part that comes from his own interpretation of the Jewish scriptures. | | | Paul had decided to preach to gentiles apparently out of his own revelatory experience that this was the mission that had been given him by God when God called him to function as a prophet for this new Jesus movement. | | | For Paul the Bible means the Hebrew Scriptures, or more precisely, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures that we call the Septuagint. |

| | Paul of Tarsus |
| | Whereas Jesus of Nazareth and many of his followers seemed to narrowly conceive of the religion as a religion of the Jews, Paul, in the context of the debate between the Hebrews and the Hellenists, tirelessly and creatively recast Christianity as a religion for all peoples. | | | While Paul, like Jesus of Nazareth, seemed to believe that the end of the world would happen within the generation of his listeners, he nevertheless downplayed the eschatological aspects of the religion, preferring instead to focus on the personal salvation aspects of the teachings. | | | The most salient aspect of the theology and ethics of Paul is his emphasis on Christianity as a universal religion. |

| | Paul conversion an interpretation of Yeshua's death, his old Mithraistic beliefs and the Messiah/christ confusion combined to forge a new religion distinctly separate from all the various sects of Judaism. | | | Paul was born in Tarsus, a major centre for the Pagan Mysteries, and often uses terms from the Mysteries in his letters. | | | Paul was the original preacher of "Jesus Christ". |

| | Amazon.ca: What Saint Paul Really Said: Was Paul of Tarsus the Real Founder of Christianity?: Books |
| | Paul believed that Jesus had succeeded in that aim.' Jesus was the first and focal point, and Paul was acting in accordance with what that experience and revelation had to say, according to Wright. | | | Paul's identification of Jesus with God was, for Paul, good news for Jews and Gentiles both. | | | He does a wonderful job of showing that Paul was the faithful interpretor of Jesus, and not the founder of Christianity. |

| | Message of the Prophets |
| | Paul laid great emphasis upon Jesus as a son of God, leading in time to the development of the trinitarian belief. | | | Paul's writings are intensely polemical, concerned rather with defending the gospel he was preaching, warning against teachers he disagreed with and arguing against observance of the Law. | | | Paul taught obedience to the pagans and to the Herodians at a time when their tyranny was reaching the stage of terrible excess. |

| | Saul of Tarsus and Christ's Blood |
| | Paul broke with Jewish tradition and opened his religion to non-Jews and uncircumcised Gentiles. | | | Saul (now Paul) no doubt found it easier to convert the Tarsans by weaving the story of Jesus in with their own beliefs, and making it more palatable to them. | | | Editors of the Bible made the title "Letter of Paul...." or "Paul's letter..." It doesn't appear in the Greek text. |

| | paul, christian missionary |
| | Paul did not invent the faith of the early Church in the continuing reality and presence of Jesus. | | | Had he appeared a little earlier--say, soon after the "raising" of Jesus and the descent of the Spirit--his intellectual ardor would probably have been too much for the inchoate community of simply educated disciples who were just beginning to get their minds around these inexplicable events. | | | If Paul became in his own lifetime the most articulate spokesman for this faith, he was never much more than an articulator who knew how to zero in on the most essential elements of his argument and could thread his discourse with the welcome colors of his own very personal experience. |
