Paul never misrepresented the Gospel. Rather, he was led by the Holy Spirit to make rules and ways by which missionaries can successfully spread the Gospel while sustaining their livelihood.

Paul is a person preached about by many many missionaries. These preachers pray so much that if what they teach about Paul were to be wrong, God would have corrected them. This is the first time I have ever heard of your version of the story. The Gospel has been preached right and the evidence of salvation and miracles speaks for itself. You cannot delete, add or modify anything that relates to the Word of God and this is wrong.

Jesus's death on the cross is for the redemption of our sins and IT IS BY THE GRACE OF GOD that we were given this free gift. When we recieve it, we are to follow the example of Jesus Christ's life. It takes strong faith to leave everything and follow Jesus. For those who would still work, Jesus wants them to live a clean life.

Jesus asked certain people to follow Him after He healed them. Certain others were allowed to leave home and continue earning for their livelihood. Is Jesus contradicting Himself here. No! He is a God who understands what each for us wants.

Jesus told His disciples that after Him being taken, the Holy Spirit will be sent down for our guidance and Paul spoke all this with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is through these chapters that we see the work and guidance of the Holy Spirit and hence these are true and valid. These chapters belong to the Bible and cannot be excluded.

Alasdair, you have so much false teachings on your site. Solomon is not 666. His knowledge was not from the world. It was given to him by God. According to you, 666 has written a chapter of wisdom in the Bible. This is obviously wrong. It says: Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Here is wisdom means, here is a valuable information.

My understanding of the Bible is very limited and I have only used common sense to find out how much wrong your theory is. I have heard of Jehovah witness using false theories and your ideas are certainly like some of them.

You cannot understand what it says in the Bible unless you earnestly pray and ask God for wisdom. Scholars who dont pray can interpret the Bible the way they want but someone who asks God for His guidance extracts the right information.
