Advice to Us from Saint Paul
Posted by Bob in Bob's Meanderings on 03/10/2014
What would Paul or Peter have advised us to do if they were alive today?
Once again, the Mantra is short and all-inclusive: If any of the disciples or Paul had found that we EXIST, they would have abandoned their faith.
Oddly enough, one of the things that makes me respect most of the New Testament is that its writers considered the words of Jesus so precious that they faithfully recorded his words when he was dead wrong.
Nobody knows better than BUGSERS that if Saint Martin Luther the King did or said something bad it would disappear from the record without trace.
But when Jesus declared “The end of the world is at hand!” it was as faithfully recorded as anything else the writers could recover of his actual words.
If Saint Martin Luther the King said something like “The Judgment will come while some of you who are listening to me still live”, you wouldn’t even be able to Google it. But Jesus said that, and it came out to be wrong.
But it was not removed from the record.
ALL of first century Christianity was “Adventist,” which mean that a fundamental part of the faith was that the world would end very soon.
Our Seventh Day Adventists have been around for a long, long time, and I am willing to bet that church investments include long-term stocks.
Not only does the Christian faith have no genetic morality, the faith itself was formulated on a bedrock notion that there would BE no future generations.
If Paul and the Apostles were brought back into the world today and saw US, some or all of them would have abandoned their faith.
