"Sometimes Paul wrenches himself free of his culture and says things illustrative of God's power to liberate humans, a lot of other times he can't see past the end of his culturally-bound nose. What is pretty clear, though is that Paul, who sulks dramatically in some letters, is compassionate in others, always manages to be searingly sarcastic at least once per letter, swears quite a bit, whines about his health, boasts that he's a good working class boy, and laughs at his own bad writing did not think he had all the answers. People who express a religious stake in the New Testament should perhaps do him the courtesy of not disagreeing on that point." -- [livejournal.com profile] daegaer 2003-09-16 (link pointed out by [livejournal.com profile] thette)

Christianity? Or Paulianity?

I had a rather vicious disagreement with Kor about something not in Paul's letters, but a bit in Luke, yesterday.

Of course part of that was due to my not being in a very good mood yesterday, for no apparent reason whatsoever; thankfully he gave ground and I stepped back so we didn't get into a shouting match, but it could have been bad.

I don't even know why I'm mentioning this. Anyway, it's a good quote.
