The original Christianity is not what is in the Bible

[Beta Ray Bill]

If Paul was that bad then Christianity would have never spread as it did, like Drich said Paul established a following of believers in Gentile cities. So how do you think he did that, his writings were to the leaders of each church he established, instructing them how to teach the greater meaning of Christianity in a persons daily life. He preached the Gospel (life of Christ) of Christ to the people, he did not use what he wrote to bring people to the saving grace of Christ, Paul says his writings are a revelation from Christ and he addresses them to Church leaders. As your analogy would put it, Paul sold the inner workings of the car to the Church leaders, so they could pass it on to the Christian community.

If you read the next reply that I wrote, you'll know what I think of Paul and how Christianity spread. Now I say that you are merely "hopefully speculating." There is no evidence whatsoever that Paul preached differently to church leaders. Now, you might say that just because it isn't mentioned doesn't mean it didn't happen, but considering the amount of work and time Paul put into pitching Christianity, it is far more logical to assess that it didn't. Use reasoning and logic, and the Bible will make a lot more sense to you, I promise. =)
