Interesanti. Droši vien klasificējas kā herētiķis, bet, nu, ne par to stāsts.
Modern Christianity is largely Pauline Christianity.
That statement is not an attack on Paul. It is simply a recognition of history. The central creeds of Christianity contain remarkably little of the ethical teaching of Jesus. They are overwhelmingly concerned with metaphysical claims about his nature, death, resurrection, and cosmic significance.
The Sermon on the Mount, the parables, the radical inversion of power, the critique of religious authority, and Jesus' vision of the Kingdom of God occupy surprisingly little space within the doctrinal architecture that eventually emerged. You cannot pin Christianity on Jesus. Christianity as we know it is the product of a long historical development, and no individual shaped that development more than Paul.
Paul's letters were written before the gospels and became the earliest documents of the New Testament. It is entirely possible that the theological categories Paul employed influenced the writers of the synoptic gospels themselves. By the time orthodoxy emerged, Paul's interpretations had become woven into the very fabric of Christian thought. Western Christianity, whether Catholic or Protestant, is fundamentally Pauline in its assumptions and structure.
I suspect Jesus and Paul would have had profound disagreements. Jesus was a brown-skinned Jewish teacher announcing the Kingdom of God and overturning conventional notions of purity, power, and religious status. Paul, shaped by his own Pharisaic training and his encounter with the risen Christ, developed an elaborate theological framework that interpreted Jesus' death through sacrificial and redemptive categories. Jesus himself might have been astonished by much of the mythology and theology eventually attached to his name.
Perhaps Paul's most consequential move was interpreting the Roman execution of Jesus through the lens of sacrificial atonement. The Jewish image of the Passover lamb became the model through which Jesus was understood as the Lamb of God whose blood removed the sins of humanity.
Over time Christianity became organized around the cross itself. In this sense, Paul helped transform Christianity into what might almost be called Cross-tianity. Significantly, the earliest followers of Jesus did not go around wearing crucifixes or carving crosses. The cross as a dominant devotional symbol emerged centuries later. The first known crucifix imagery appears only many generations after Jesus and Paul were gone.
Yet none of this requires hostility toward Paul. He was not attempting to create an infallible religion for future civilizations. He was writing occasional letters to struggling communities attempting to sort out practical and theological questions. He found himself in the strange and unenviable position of becoming the resident expert on Christianity. One could reasonably ask, "Who died and made Paul pope?" Nobody did. History simply placed him there.

ļoti patika, kā krievu žurnāliste marija pevčiha nedaudz negaidītā kolaborācijā sev atklāj videospēļu sfēru (ar geoguessr)
acis aizdegās, rokas pieslēdzās
un, kad viņai piedāvāja pageimot pax historia
marija pajautāja, A KĀPĒC MUMS VAJAG NODARBOTIES AR ŠO HUJŅU, ja mēs varam ceļot pa visu pasauli, un pie tam mēģināt uzminēt pilsētas vai valstis
es arī šo jautājumu pastāvīgi sev uzdodu

martcore @ : ko es šodien redzēju
šodien autobusa pieturā redzēju jaunu meiteni
kas bija tērpusies tādā diezgan atvērtā dekoltē blūzē vai krekliņā, es tur nesaprotu atšķirības
viņa ēda šokolādes saldējumu uz kociņa
un pēkšņi viss šis šokolādes un saldējuma masīvs no kociņa nokritā lejā, punktā
tur, kā lai to labāk pasaka, kur zviedru pussargs jasins aijari nesen precīzi trāpīja starp vārtu stabiem
rezultāts 1:0, lai arī šajā gadījumā jau tenisa ciparos 15:0, gandrīz geim set matč
vispār nekādas seksuālas objektivizācijas, kam gan negadās

"A feast coming in,
An Arabian night with a taste of salt,
Fond good-byes and Good Lord! There you are!
These boxes with cats, these eggs that must not be broken,
These sailors' cries and rope thrown down
On the dock for tying,
Seeing the world itself arriving."

bijām vakar uz ODU nacionālajā. visi slavē un un un varbūt tāpēc, bet manā skatījumā izrāde neiziet no rāmja "normāla izrāde". daudz "izkritienu" dramaturģiskajā materiālā.
vienīgais, kas likās izcils, ir abu vīriešlomas tēlotāji, es tur redzu SN nominācijas.

pēdējo septiņu nedēļu laikā lielāko daļu esmu bijusi prom. trīs nedēļas Venēcijā, tad Romas garās kāzu jubilejas brīvdienas, komandējums Parīzē.
pēdējās piecas nedēļas visu laiku esmu drusku slima. klepus, iesnas, sāpīgs kakls. jū neim it. un temperatūra gandrīz visu laiku turas drusku paaugstināta. jāiet pie ārsta. vai arī jāatpūšas tā pavisam.
spēka gan ir daudz, svētdien kā aizskrēju, tā noskrēju pusmaratonu diezgan superīgā laikā.

man negribas tūristies dzindzināties virsū, bet viņi stāv, skatās uz augšu, klausās savas austiņas un pilnībā nobloķē ietves. abās pusēs!
