Organized Religions use Paul to Reverse Christ's Teaching Christ described a way of life that would take care of the subconscious forces of sin, such as elitism, nihilism, domination, etc. He couldn't use those terms because of the rudimentary state of knowledge at that time. Christ said believers are not supposed to lord over others but serve the needs of all (Mat 20:25-28). He was replacing elitism and domination with subservience. He continually said to increase knowledge or understanding (Luke 11:52)(Mark 7:14), which attempts to overcome the nihilism which sin depends upon. He taught people to be effect rather than cause by offering no resistance to force (Mat 5:39), because it is almost impossible to be cause without perpetrating injustice. Truth, not force, is the source of justice. Organized religions reverse the moral truth by claiming that sin was taken care of on the cross. They get that interpretation from Paul. The first result is that everything Christ taught is ignored. The second result is that the preachers become role models for elitism, nihilism, bigotry, etc. Sin is taught by example, not by words, because words result in truth which defeats the sin. In other words, interacting with or communicating with persons who are attached to organized religions is more corrupted than interacting with other persons, because people are normally bound by the common sense lessons of life, while religious persons replace normalcy with the self-righteousness of supposedly doing God's work. Specifically, the manner in which corruption is manifested is by not answering questions or providing information, not increasing knowledge on a subject, misrepresenting what others say, accusing, etc. Those communication perversions allow realities to be falsified, so wrong becomes right and right becomes wrong. Christ's teachings would have corrected all of that, but Paul's teachings are used to promote it. Christ said in Luke 16:16, "The law and prophets lasted until John; but from then on the Kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone who enters does so with violence." It means there is a transition between Old Testament religion and New Testament religion, where human responsiblities are discarded by religion. Paul's theology is used to rationalize that transition by claiming sin was taken care of on the cross. Christ then said that not the smallest letter of the law is to be done away with, which means the reaction is not valid. PaulFundamentalism |
