Comprehending The Apostle Paul Teachings On Christianity

By George Baker


To comprehend the concepts of early Christianity, there are several places those interested can do so. One of which is a free class "Early Christianity, The Letters of Paul, " which is a free online HarvardX course offered through the edX dot org website. For, the course offers a great deal of information on The Apostle Paul Teachings, transformation and related letters which the apostle wrote during that time.

Online resources related to Paul include, several papers and other materials which refer to the life and times of this apostle and others. For those who attend church or Sunday School, there are often classes and sermons related to the apostle on a regular basis. In addition, a number of university and public libraries host books, videos and other materials which are representative of Paul and the earliest days of Christianity.

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.

While a lot of information exist from books, CDs, DVDs, and online video, the information is quite varied depending on the creator. In addition, while there are some representation of the original letters, the text can often be hard to read, much less interpret. As such, to learn the most, it is often advised that interested individuals attend a class, take an online course or visit a local church or synagogue to learn more about Paul and these teachings.

There are several books of the Bible related to these letters which religious scholars consider to be part and parcel to the these teachings. These include, First Thessalonians, Galatians, First Corinthians, Philippians, Philemon, Second Corinthians, and Romans. While this is the case, it should be noted that while discussed, none show actual proof of Jesus as a mortal man before, after or during what is believed to be his ascension, crucifixion, and resurrection.

Other artifacts, such as those found from the time of Moses and the Wilderness also provide proof in the existence of Moses; However, do not necessarily prove in the parting of the red sea or other activities associated with the time. For, as with Paul, these aspects are often those which must be accepted on faith, especially by those subscribing to the Christian faith.

When it comes to finding truth in religion, each individual must follow a singular path. For, while there are often missionaries and others whom suggest there is only one way to heaven, no one knows for sure. As such, most often those involved in higher belief systems have a personal relationship with a higher power or powers. While most individuals follow the path of an ancestor or ancestors, others find a different path through personal experiences and religious studies.

In most cases, Christians believe in a holy trinity. The trinity being the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. However, different sects of the faith often have different ideas when it comes to the concept of heaven and hell. For example, some believe Christ died for the sins of all people and all are children of God, the Father and have been cleansed of sin. Whereas, others believe if one does not accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, then that person will perish in a lake of fire, otherwise known as hell.
