Comments on: Saint Paul: The Founder of Christianity http://socyberty.com/history/saint-paul-the-founder-of-christianity/ Sun, 22 Nov 2009 22:15:45 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Verniel Cutar http://socyberty.com/history/saint-paul-the-founder-of-christianity/comment-page-1/#comment-81447 Verniel Cutar Thu, 09 Oct 2008 14:47:53 +0000 http://socyberty.com/history/saint-paul-the-founder-of-christianity/#comment-81447 I will give this article a thumbs up on Stumbleupon and possibly I'll Digg too. But I have to point out that Apostle Paul is not the founder of Christianity. The term "Christian" was first coined in Antioch..it was used by OTHER PEOPLE to label those who believe in, follow, and preach the gospel of Christ. Paul didn't even use the term Christianity. <br /> <br /> But even long before it was named that way, Christianity as we now call it, is already a concept. Christ laid the foundation, then after he ascended, the 120 disciples comprised the early Church, starting on 33 AD (arguably 27 AD by some bible scholars), in the upper room in Jerusalem. Paul wasn't a "Christian" yet during these birth/founding stages of Christianity. He was a persecutor of the disciples during that period.<br /> <br /> Nice writing style, though! Anything related to the Bible and theology is always worth a good read. So thanks. :-) I will give this article a thumbs up on Stumbleupon and possibly I’ll Digg too.
