I think it was founded by Apostle Paul

A question for those religion fanatics. please state and elaborate.

What you "think" is different from the fact

These myopic people again...i guess paul wrote the quran too since many things in the bible are also in the quran mixed with appcrypha stories.

Founded by Jesus, Simplified and Explained by Paul

Christianity was founded by many people over time. NOT even Paul himself because no body knows any Paul outside the alleged letters the Church father's said he wrote.

The church fathers of the early Roman empire were the founders of Christianity. What ever they said and established is what people have come to accept as the truth.

TELL US THE "FACT", SIR.

It depends on where you are coming from, if you are a christain, then Jesus is the one who founded Christianity himself. It.cannot be an apostle.apostle literary means the sent ones. Therefore apostle Paul is just a messenger of Jesus gospel. :

As a lover of history, I will say the Roman Emperor Constantine.is the one who called together the Council of Nicea by which came the Nicene Creed and the concept of the Trinity that unites much of Christianity today..a form of branding.

However, some Muslim says it is Paul.who rebrand Christianity. Joseph smith of later days church says he received direct revelation from Jesus himself.....so much controversy I guess.....


I prefer to go with history.

Yusuf54:

in that case, islam was founded by the chief imam of one mosque in sokoto

Jesus Christ established a group of followers called "Disciples". the people of Antioch (Syria), nicknamed the disciples "Christians" ( those who are Christ-like). Acts 11:26.
The Jews and the Romans tried their best to annihilate the Disciples, but ended up becoming disciples themselves.

Paul founded Christianity as we know it.

If you must know, Paul's doctrine even caused a rift between him and the Apostles.

Were there disciples of Christ before Paul?
Before he became a disciple of the Lord, did he persecute the church?

Jesus said He will build HIS church, it was founded by Jesus

Matthew 16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church;
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Jesus did not marry a 6 yr old baby unlike the prophet of piss

Did the "church fathers of the early Roman empire"
die for your sins?
Were their births prophesied a thousand years or thereabouts earlier?
Did they say they were the way, truth and life?
Did they come down from heaven?
Did they have power to forgive sins?
Why are Christians termed "Christ like" (Jesus Christ-like)

Fact is the above is his opinion

Why are Christians not called "Paultains" then?

Ah.
These questions are too intelligent for the person you are asking.

Good one

trapQ:

Your question is unnecessary. They were called Christians because they lived a Christlike life. The Church in Antioch was totally different from today's churches. The Church was not concerned about earthly riches; wealth didn't matter to them. Their lives were so simple that they reminded the observers of Jesus.

Today's churches are largely modeled after the teachings of Paul.

Read my post again. Paul founded Christianity as we know it.

You think today's Christianity can be compared to the Church that Paul persecuted?

Why do you even think they were called Christians in the first instance?

Do you think today's churches are worthy of being called Christians?

Compare the teachings of Jesus with that of Paul and see which one is the bedrock of today's churches.

Jesus never "preached" grace but "demonstrated" grace. How can he ? When the lamb has not yet be slain.

Jesus did not say His teachings should be added to. He told His disciples to teach what He had taught them.

I am not against Paul modifying Christianity. After all, Paul claimed that Christ Himself appeared to him. My point is that the Christianity we have today is modelled more after the teachings of Paul.

What is this nonsense you are talking about?

What ever it is that Jesus was written to have said were written by books the church father's produced and presented. The Gospels were named and selected by the church fathers, the Christian theology and all the various creeds were formulated by them. If not for the church fathers there wouldn't have been a new testament. They voted and selected the books that make up the new testament. They ascribed authorship to all the books. They edited them to fit what ever narrative it wad that they wanted.

Example, if they had chosen Peter and said he wrote the letters assign to Paul, you would have believed that it was Peter. The formed the theology and doctrines that various sects adhere to.

I am having a hard time understanding you Sir.
Are you saying that there are 2 groups of disciples. The ones who followed Christ and the ones who follow Paul?
Paul being the founder of what you call "Today's christian" (whatever that means).

Please break it down for me.
Did the original apostles of Christ like Peter, endorse the writings of Paul?

Yes, there were groups that followed the Apostles and the ones that followed Paul (the Pauline Christians).

The ones that followed the Apostles, especially, the Ebonites, were the earliest Christians. "Ebonites" means "the poor" and one could think of them as the Jerusalem Church.

For your second question, the Apostles merely tolerated Paul. They never endorsed his writings. At least, no evidence in the Bible. Or in church history.

"you err not knowing the scriptures".
Op. U asked this question because u dont know the scriptures,christianity started after the death,burial and resurrection of Jesus christ. Apostle only recieved grace to elaborate and clarify the scriptures which many didnt understand.

do you have any evidence to support this?

Outofsync:

Your question is ambiguous.

I have two answers in my post. For which of these answers do you want evidences?

Is it for the Ebonites (paragraph 1) or concerning the endorsement of Paul's writings (Paragraph 2).

I'll like to see your evidence for the second part which is the endorsement of Paul's writings.

Yusuf54:

.

Jesus Christ, The Righteous calls His Believers, The Faithfuls. In their Evangelism, their Audiences nickname them Christians. Paul wrote most of The Books of The New Testament adopting the common word "Christianity to mean The Righteous in figure and in content.

Both actually. Especially the second

dalaman:

Like I wrote earlier, there are no evidence of any such endorsement. There is no evidence that Paul was accepted as an Apostle by the Twelve. Paul failed the criteria needed to be an Apostle. However, he claimed to have been personally called to be an Apostle to the Gentiles.

Paul talked about the pillars of the Church giving him full reins to preach to the Gentiles but there are no evidences outside his own letters.

Christ came for the Jews (and not the world) and He sent His disciples (the Twelve) specifically to the Jews. The Apostles were on about keeping the Laws and regarded anyone preaching against keeping the laws as lawless. They tolerated Paul and there are evidence for that in the Bible but there are no evidences that they endorsed his gospel.

Paul led his Christian life Independent of the Twelve. He refused to be mentored by them and never conferred with the Twelve at once. Even in the suspicious 1 Peter 3:15, the supposed writer seemed to endorse Paul but not with all totality. It is like saying, "You are also good, but you are not one of us". There is tolerance in that statement but nothing else. No endorsement.
