Conservatives (Fundamentalists or Evangelicals) use a warped string of rationalizations to lock in Paul’s theology. They have about five quotes from Paul which they use; and the quotes have to be in the right order to do the trick.

To make Paul’s writing relevant, it has to be the infallible word of God. And what makes it God’s infallible word is that it is in the Bible. But humans put it in the Bible, not God. The Bible is an aggregate put together by humans, and it is not always the same group of writings even today.

It’s informative to put Paul’s writing alongside other Scriptural material for the purpose of study. But the conclusion should be that Paul was really a garbage head, and no one should be basing anything upon his writing. Instead, his writing was used to create a variant of Christianity which has nothing but contempt for everything Christ taught.

The thing about fraud (or any lies) is that it is in conflict with all other realities. The ultimate fact about Paul’s writing is that it has no purpose beyond erasing the truth which Christ taught.

The end result of Paul’s theology is that no one has to do anything to get saved, because the saving was done on the cross. Why then do people need a religion?

The logic for an end result of Paul’s theology (literally, Paul’s religion) slides into the subject of being born again. The only thing such a conservative Christian needs to do is be born again. The way that is supposed to work is to muster enough faith for it to happen. How do you muster faith? By joining a group of frauds and promoting their frauds.

Therefore, the essence of this subject—the difference between real Christianity and Paul’s religion—is in the subject of being born again. This concept comes from a quote which says believers must be “born from above” or “born again” (John 3:3). The Catholics use the first translation, the Protestants, the second. They both mean the same thing. It means God must be involved in changing the person. The Catholics emphasize God’s involvement, while the Protestants emphasize the change in the person.

The truth of the matter is that overcoming sin is a long, slow process which involves the spirit world interacting with the person. The person is not aware of much of it. The objective reality of material life causes the mind to continually improve. Often there are large steps forward in the functioning and condition of the mind, such as cognitions, which are rearrangements of realities in the mind.

When some persons hear conservatives speak of being born again, they realize that they had significant experiences in the past, which they associate with being born again.

This is where some real fraud comes in. Conservatives claim being born again is a one-time thing instead of a continuous process; and they claim it converts the person into an elitist who is holier than thou and speaks infallible truth on religion. The subject virtually goes from religion to politics at that point, as the elitist is now a superior social entity who must “take back” the government and schools from the godless persons who have not be selected long ago to be among the born again elites.

Guess what. Being born again doesn’t even come out of Paul’s theology; it comes out of Christ’s teaching.

After Paul’s theology erases all truth which Christ taught concerning moral responsibilities, a point of Christ’s teaching is given a warped meaning devoid of moral rationality to justify a corrupt life-style based on elitism.
