Paul's Gospel

[trike]

Found this website that I think y'all might get a kick out of:
www.touchet1611.org/MissionaryPage.html

some excerpts:

We don't preach Jesus' teachings unless they are through Paul. We are going to be judged by Paul's gospel so we may as well preach his gospel as well. I believe his gospel is far more than just I Corinthians 15:1-5 - it is Romans through Philemon with Acts being a transitional book from Peter's gospel of the circumcision to Paul's gospel of the uncircumcision.

Hebrews through Jude is written to those folks in the Tribulation, so we don't claim those books as TO us today anymore than we claim the Gospels TO us today either - let alone the Old Testament. You wouldn't build a boat for salvation so why preach the Beatitudes, Matthew 28 or Mark 16, etc. to us today, either. We will leave that stuff to the Pentecostals, the cults and to the Purpose Driven, ALPHA modern Christians - they preach another Jesus, not the real Risen Christ!

We don't believe we are to follow Jesus' example from the Gospels. We don't believe we are to follow in His gospel footsteps; those footsteps were for the Jews to follow - not the Gentiles. We, as Gentiles and now Church of God / Christians, are to follow Paul - and Paul will teach us all that the RISEN Christ taught to Paul as our apostle.

I also preach hard against 'images' such as Bible videos that portray a visual image of Christ, etc. I am flat against the Passion of the Christ and also Chick's movie on the Light... Images have taken over final authority from the Bible in most churches - including many of the Bible Believing brethren - and we won't support that here. Most if not all of the kids movies and video bible studies are worldly trash with worldly music - including Patch the Pirate and Veggie tales.

We need to be taught words - we need to preach words - NOT IMAGES!

I think this is the first time that I've actually heard a fundie admit to not following Jesus' teachings!

That's really odd. It's like even among Xtians there is this odd infighting. Like who is preaching the right jebus message from the right gospel and who is not. Who is more Xtian than the other. Xtians today can't even figure out what part of their bible they want to preach.

Meh, worshipers of Pauline doctrine. And regardless of what they say, that is what they are doing in what is written above. But what it all gets down to is, different shit, same aroma.

This reminds me of my mother. She was very reluctant to watch any movie about Jesus because, and I quote, "There isn't anybody worthy enough to portray Jesus."

I prefer the gospel of John (Lennon, that is) -- "All you need is love."

Damn, that explains so much! You know, for years I've suspected that I'm not a member of the same religion as them. Now one of them seems to be willing to back me up on it.

[antichrist]

So why dont they call themselves Paulians, or Paulites? Jesus has nothing to do with their religion.

Incedentially...that's also the gospel of Jesus.

Yeah, like BigChrisfilm! He preached a BUNCH of words!

If you want to gain influence and a hopeful convert, BEING the Gospel would be tons more effective than quoting it.

Words is all they have. It's not like they have any, you know, evidence for any of this crap.

But, yeah, I know what you mean. Action speaks louder than words.

What makes it even funnier is, the Jesus-Junkies *HATED* The Beatles! (And for some odd reason, they *still* hate 'em...)

That's because John Lennon once made the comment that the Beatles were more popular with teenagers than Jesus, which was probably true. A large number of adults misconstrued this statement thinking he meant they were greater than Jesus. I know that is what my parents thought. And just like every other religious urban legend, it refuses to die (or rather, Christians refuse to let it die.)

I don't think the song Imagine helped John Lennons popularity with the fundies either.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Yeah, but it goes back further than when he wrote that. Lennon did have a sort of love/hate relationship with Christianity and Imagine was a by-product of that. Of course, after what he had said, you're right, writing this song didn't help his popularity with Christian adults, either.
