Quote by Paul the Apostle

“Indeed I am a man, a Jew having been born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but having been brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, having been trained according to the exactness of the ancestral law, being a zealot of God, even as you all are today. I persecuted this Way as far as death, binding and giving over both men and women to prisons.”

Paul the Apostle is a significant figure in the New Testament of the Christian Bible, considered one of the founding figures of Christianity. He is believed to have been a follower of Jesus Christ and a key figure in spreading the Christian faith. Paul's life was marked by his transformation from a Pharisee who actively persecuted Christians to a devoted follower of Jesus. He dedicated himself to spreading Christianity throughout the Greek and Roman worlds, and his writings, including numerous letters in the New Testament, have had a profound impact on the development of Christian doctrine. more

“philosophy is no longer concerned with the quest for the truth of the world and so is reduced to a limited sphere, which only ensures the uninterrupted flow of capitalist markets. Truth as a philosophical category thus becomes enslaved to the unthinking markets of capitalism; philosophy at the service of the robber barons. Truth's instantiation is thus brutally reduced to the exercise of pure and arbitrary power in various domains of the world.”

“St. Paul was not personally responsible for the Inquisition and for the Roman Church at the end of the fifteenth century, but the inquirer, whether Christian or not, cannot be content to observe that Christianity was depraved or distorted by the conduct of unworthy popes and bishops; he must rather seek to discover what it was in the Pauline epistles that gave rise, in the fullness of time, to unworthy and criminal actions.”
