And even Peter (who was taught by the Master Jesus himself) is placed at odds with Paul (along with his Judaizing opponents) in Galatians and Corinthians.<br /><br />So how does the Evangelical world prove that “unsaved” individuals need some vaguely defined Doctrine of Salvation? <b>By cutting and pasting verses from Paul’s letters at random to invent this so-called of Biblical Salvation!</b> <br /><br />Even this so- called salvation plan cann't be found in Paul’s earliest letters, but (as seen in the Gospel Tracts themselves) is usually totally extracted from his last theological work called Romans.<br /><br /><b>So, in short, the <i>Doctrine of Christian Salvation</i> is randomly pieced together by a small segment of Christianity know as Evangelicals from the remaining works of a Hellenistic Jew called Paul who most likely never saw or hear the earthly Jesus and who created the universality of Original Sin based on the Genesis 3; a dogma NEVER believed or accepted by Judaism itself.</b><br /><br />Now my Evangelical Christian friend; just how much of an assurance of salvation do you really have????Harry H.
