You said that Most Gospels were written for a Roman audience in a effort to convert them. All I asked you was why, when they were fine with their pagan gods. 

Paul's letters are all about spreading the gospel and he writes about others spreading it.

I'm familiar with why Paul was chosen. Are you familiar with why he was chosen to spread the gospel for the Kingdom of God?

He isn't. Buddhists study other beliefs as to know them.

From the looks of it, he chose himself. He was a good wordsmith. (i.e. **** spinner)

What Lord ?

I know the Biblical Histories, I know of the studies done on ancient texts that is the precursors of the Bible, I know of the History of the Bible purporting to use the texts for personal and political ambitions.

I also know that the Bible never meant for the making of any Lord or Lords to lord over the laity ....

Obviously,  he was a Pharisee. But, Paul was also a devout Jew. So, I'm asking you do you know why The Lord God had chosen him?

What does it mean to be a Christian?

That's a personal attack towards me and my faith which I can honestly state that I am a true Christian and you are speaking ill about Christianity utilizing me as an example as why you feel you can do so.

Do you hate Christians?

What do you think Paul spun?

In other words, news outlets "spin" the facts of something that happened. The story is changed to fit the reporter's viewpoints. Maybe a little. Maybe a lot.

Would you tell us Piney what your ideas are about what Paul reported that are a spin on the news that Jesus revealed?

Was it Jesus' news? Or Paul's? Nobody can know for sure. :yes:

Did he? Or did Paul chose himself?

Nope, just an honest assessment of what you have clearly indicated and what you have presented. Your idolatrous nature is no secret

If you really want to know, may be one day you'll find out.

I had private religious tutor that was a Princeton Scholar. My grandfather was a Oxford Scholar. I'm more than familiar with your Christianity and it's beliefs don't interest me other than the history.
