Very few Christians have the background, or the inclination, to study the roots of Christianity and the role of Paul...they look at what is presented to them in their churches and accept it...Joseph Smith is a modern-day Paul...we are fortunate enough to have a much more literate society that’s able to discern his falsehoods...magritte

Christians don't sing "Praise to Paul".
 
Click it!



 
 
Praise to the Man!
 
 
Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!
Jesus annointed that Prophet and Seer.
Blessed to open the last dispensation,
Kings shall extol him, and nations revere.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
 
 

Praise to his mem'ry, he died as a martyr;
Honored and blest be his ever great name!
Long shall his blood, which was shed by assasins,
Plead unto heav'n while the earth lauds his fame.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

 

Great is his glory and endless his priesthood.
Ever and ever the keys he will hold.
Faithful and true he will enter his kingdom,
Crowned in the midst of the prophets of old.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

 

Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven;
Earth must atone for the blood of that man.
Wake up the world for the conflict of justice.
Millions shall know 'Brother Joseph' again.
 
Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with
Gods
, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

There are probably some of my fellow LDS Christians that personally give one scripture source more weight than another.

Given proper interpretation though they are all equally good and Holy.

..."Paul and the early Christians to convince Gentiles of the importance of Jesus...there are many more examples like this...it’s all out there to find...magritte"

Exactly right. It is not an easy thing to come to terms with, after believing a certain doctrine since childhood. In the era of the internet....those days are over for the truth seeker. It is all out there. Great point!

Sure. Or even you own words. I have lots of Jewish friends (from Orthodox to liberal) and have never met one who is angry about the New Testament and Jesus. So I am curious why you are.

Where did you get that impression? I have not used ad hominem attcks, just statements backed up by scripture. It is a polemic discussion.

“Judaism, of course...or in my case, as a Gentile, Noahidism...G-d gave us a great chance and the final word a long time ago...”

So, how often do you perform blood sacrifices for remission of your own sin magritte?

Oh, no wait.

Those sacrifices were supposed to be performed in the Temple, which was destroyed.

Guess you’re living in sin, kid.
