Yes he must have…:extrahappy:
The anti-christian(oops meant anti-catholic
) will also point out that Paul wrote more books than people. What they fail to understand is that Paul and Peter were two different types of people as Randy noted above.
Paul was at least a scribe if not a Pharisee. Before his conversion he had gone on a rampage of either murdering(more euphemistic term is execution) or imprisoning Christians. His authority had to come from the Pharisees and he had to have been known to be a ranking official through-out the known world in order for his Orders to be carried out.
Peter on the other hand was just a fisherman, which just the minimum reading and writing skills he acquired in his youth. He was not acustomed to reading and writing as someone of Paul’s position dictated.
Peter was more busy running the church from Rome doing such things as sending out the Apostles to different areas. Peter probably only wrote his Epistles because Paul’s writings were already beginning to be taken out of context because of the inherent “Pharisee Nature” of his writings. Peter even made the point of stating that Paul’s writings are hard to understand. So Peter provided some clarification on some issues. The Church also made the effort to place Peter’s, Jude’s, John’s, and James’ writings after Paul to help clear up any confustion.
Also Paul was preaching to the Pagan Gentiles who were a little reluctant to give up some pagan traditions. These issues got back to Paul, who was prompted to “Write to these Churches” because he may have not adequately taught the Gentiles in the first place. If he had preached to them in the manner of Christ instead of preaching in the manner of a Pharisee then the need of writing letters might never had come to fruition.
This makes it apparent why Jesus chose non-pharisees, non-scribes, and non-sadducess to be his Apostles initially. Imagine Jesus teaching the narrow minded Pharisees instead of ordinaries.
IMHO, there is only one reason Jesus appeared to Paul. Paul was on the verge of exterminating Christianity. If Jesus had not intervened, I doubt we would even be having this debate right now. Christianity would not have survived…
It’s quality, not quantity.
, but I must admit that I have my limitations.
