Drich Wrote:Christ Himself set the pace in Mt 5 and in several key parables then Paul in the book of Romans cements the details in stone.
You have that back to front. Paul mentions tons of doctrine which never gets related back to the events found in the Gospels. Then the Gospels are written and we get told about these miraculous stories that somehow escaped Paul's attention, and no, I don't believe that was intentional, because Paul gives himself a chance to reiterate things found in the Gospels but fails to do so. An example is when he says Jesus was "born of a woman". Ok, did she have a name? Was it by any chance a rather unusual birth? The man is clueless on the topic he's dedicated his life to.
