    “He is where we get such gems as women not being eligible for priesthood (aside from the exceptions of the one he elevated)”

    Oh yeah, this guy’s teachings are absolutely the word of God to many people.

    Great post too.

      Thank you!

      Paul’s inclusion in the bible does make sense…I just don’t think it does from an actual “this is what the intentions of Jesus were” kind of way. Problem is too many people read every inclusion in the book as though it is a tacit endorsement of everything in there and not just citations of early deviations in the intergenerational game of telephone.

      My Grans and Gramps on my Mum’s side were major critics of Paul and I think three generations down it’s the best gift we coulda had. Growing up with zero religious trauma coming from inside the house was a blessing. My fam are the most lovable and happy buncha muppets you can find.
