Answer 1

The Romans were well known for assimilating anything that they could not beat militarily. They recognized that Christianity had grown so large that they could not possibly stamp it out.

So they did the same thing that they always did when they found themselves in this position. Paul was roman, one of the first roman undercover agents if you will to gain prominence in the Christian hierarchy. His job was to subvert the faith correct the teachings so they were more palatable to roman tastes and take over and control as much of the leadership as possible. His cover story about being blinded and thrown from his horse was designed to play right into the Christian idea of a forceful Jesus that was the defender of the faith.

He was accepted by most of the Christian world and eventually trumped Peters wishes on many issues. Apparently everyone thought that Jesus had made a mistake in selecting Peter to take care of running the faith because Paul was and is still taken quite seriously.

Christianity is barely recognizable today if you compare it to what Jesus actually taught. If you read closely you can still see occasional glimpses of Jesus’ teaching in and among the nonsense that was overlaid on it by Paul and others. The roman conquest of Christianity took quite some time, but was completed in the 4th century around the time of the council of Nicea when the current bible was compiled.

Constantine also had one of these miraculous encounters with Jesus that lead to his conversion, but oddly continued to worship roman gods in private right up to his death. In public of course he was a true Christian.

The new faith that replaced the one Jesus entrusted peter with was called the universal, or Catholic Church. It is better known as the Roman Catholic Church. I guess you could call that a hint.

A truly brilliant plan actually. Made possible by the efforts of a roman double agent named Paul who called himself an apostle, but never actually met Jesus. For his loyalty and meritorious service he was later killed to cover up the truth.

Recently a complete scroll of the prophet Isaiah was discovered with the Dead Sea scrolls. It was dated conservatively as being 2100 years old. Before that the oldest original manuscript of Isaiah was only about a thousand years old. (Isaiah lived roughly between 700 and 750 BC) When the older original scroll was compared with the previously oldest know scroll, there were virtually no differences; certainly none that had any significance related to any major doctrine of the Bible. Those who say the Bible was substantially altered do not know what they are talking about. It is completely false. There are over 500 manuscripts written in Greek that are dated before 500 A.D. and the writings of the early Church Fathers are so extensive that we could reconstruct the entire New Testament based on their writings, even if we had no ancient manuscripts of the New Testament itself. It is a lie and just another excuse people raise because they don't want to obey God - just exactly like the Bible says.

To understand the context of a written letter, one has to understand the background and reason Paul was writing in a specific situation. Paul was writing in a unique situations. In this book Paul was writing to counter judaizers who were looking to undermine the central theme of the New Testament of justification by faith. OT understand Paul, you have to look at the context of his letters and why he wrote them. They wer teaching that Gentile converts must become Jewish proselytes and live according to the Law put forth i nthe Old Testament. The church had agreed that according to this new area, Christians were not under the Law (Jerusalem Council, found in Acts 15:23-29). I would recommend reading http://www.amazon.com/Galatians-Testament-Commentary-Macarthur-Serie/dp/0802407625/sr=1-1/qid=1170884763/ref=sr_1_1/104-8028202-1375106?ie=UTF8&s=books
Which I think may be an easy read to understand the reason and nuts and bolts of this letter.

Answer 4

After Jesus came the 1st time, what was required of Christians has changed. With each town that Paul wrote to, there was something different with them that wasn't right, so he corrected them. And by the way, God sent the Holy Spirit to move in Christians and Paul did what the Holy Spirit guided him to do. He says that he wrote the books, of course, it's the first verse of each letter.

Answer 5

Paul was known and loved by the author of the Acts who most believe was Luke, the disciple of Jesus. He recorded Jesus' appearance to Paul on the road to Damascus. The writings of Paul are part of the bible because they are supported by the apostles who wrote the gospels, as well as containing much of Christian doctrine.

Answer 6

Paul wrote letters. The Church collected them and the writings of others into the New Testament. Wherever did Paul change the writings of others?

Answer 7

Pagan Roman Emperor Constantin.

Answer 8

Many things have been changed in the bible by the early church. It is believed by some that Christ was married. The meaning of some words in translation. for example the word virgin was any woman who has not given birth. Today's meaning is any woman who has not lost her virginity by man. You need to go back to the very early history of Christianity before today's churches screwed up so much in thier teachings.

Answer 9

Maybe it was not Paul. His writings are the ones best to be edited by those who gang themselves together and rewrite the texts that could be easier to change than the Old writings which must have been read by many already.

Answer 10

Paul wrote most of the New Testament; did not add or take away from anything. Have you read of his conversion in Acts? His 'right' to do and write the things he did came from his obeidience to Christ. HE is not cursing them; just telling them what will happen if they continue. My best to you in your fight for faith.
