Understanding The Apostle Paul Teachings And Letters

By George Baker


Before one can understand the early days of Christianity, one must know how the faith was born. For many, Christianity begins with the religious and spiritual transformation found in The Apostle Paul Teachings and letters. While there are only a few actual letters of the apostle still available, those have detailed information regarding the life and times of the apostle and early Christianity.

There are also many resources related to the apostle including several papers which can be found online. Whereas, others prefer a more personal approach through a church or Sunday school program. There are also public and university libraries which offer a number of books related to these teachings.

For those who enjoy film and television, there are also a few different series related to the apostle. In most cases, these come in sets with a number of different volumes related to different apostles and areas of the Cristian faith. Although, there are some which compare and contrast Judaism and Christianity though a look at Paul and his early letters to the Church.

When it comes to the Bible which many believe to be the so-called Word of God, there are several books which hold these teachings. Most likely, these teachings were based on the few, and often difficult to read letters that were believed to be those written by Paul to the early Church. While this is the case, the letters alone do not prove the theory in a living Christ. Although, the letters do suggest that the apostle lived first as a Jew, then after seeing a vision of Christ, converted to Christianity.

When desiring to learn as much as possible about these teachings, the Bible also holds a great deal of information. Various teachings related to Paul can be found in the books of First and Second Corinthians, First Thessalonians, Galatians, Romans, Philippians and Philemon. While this is the case, the teachings in these scriptures still do not provide proof in an actual living Christ, or the resurrection, crucifixion, or ascension.

As with other artifacts, such as those found related to Moses and the Wilderness, none give proof to the story of Christ and salvation. For, when it comes to Paul, the story the apostle provides is based on a ghostly vision, not a reality. As such, the letters and stories still require Christians to live a faith based religion rather than one based on proof of the existence of Jesus Christ in physical form.

For, when it comes to discovering the truth, the only real truth is that the concept of a higher power or powers is a great mystery. Whether that mystery be accepted on faith or denounced as nonsense. Throughout history, missionaries and others have attempted to share the story of Christ with others as a means toward salvation.

For those subscribing to the Christian faith, this is often one related to Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Most beliefs in this regard are based on these early teachings of Paul that Jesus was born, died and rose again as proved by the visions and letters of the apostle. Whereas, the Holy Spirit is that which washes over and cleanses one of earthly sins once an individual becomes a believer and follows these and other related teachings.
