Opis

The thrust of this book is to answer the paradigm contained in its title and in the course of so doing to delve into the way in which Christianity evolved. It will come as a complete surprise to most Christians that the center of Christianity today is not, in fact, Jesus So deftly has the religion been manipulated over the centuries that most Christians do not recognise this. Revealed are facts contained in both the Old and the New Testaments which diametrically oppose the church doctrines of salvation by faith in Jesus alone, 'once saved always saved', being 'born again', a Friday crucifixion, the ministry of Jesus and the reason he was sent by God, the infallibility of the scriptures, the Sabbath, the 'Jerusalem Council', the termination of God's laws and commandments, the trinity, the New Covenant and many more. It reveals the extent to which passages from the scriptures have been deliberately mistranslated or manipulated in order to support the current Christian doctrines and dogmas. Mainly it shows that the teachings of Jesus were contradicted time and time again by Paul (who had never met Jesus and had never followed his earthly ministry) and that current Christianity has elected to follow Paul rather than Jesus. The result of this research indicates that the vast majority of people who claim to be Christians are not really so - they follow Paul (who did not follow Jesus) and are therefore 'Paulinists'. This is an eminently readable book, full of interesting surprises and the author's hope is that it will cause a re-thinking of the dogmas that the church imposes on the unwary, that it will cause further discussion and debate and most of all that it will turn 'Christians' back to Jesus.
