That's what I don't get. Why don't they see that when they mock those who believe that Paul's writings are true, they are also mocking Paul, as well as God? Oh well. I guess for some, parts of God's truth are truthier than others. :)
They choose to slurp at the trough of agnosticism and be critics of the scriptures rather than believers. And for that reason the salvation therein will escape them.
So, questioning is the same as mocking? I spent the early part of my life in a place where it was a cirme to question "offcial truth." I have promised myself ever since my parents brought me to this country, to never accept "official truth" just because some people say it's "sacred."

All of God’s truth is true. Misinterpreting Paul does not lead one towards God’s truth. It leads one towards the Gnostics, as evidenced by several folks on boards here. The great deceiver nets a great number of souls by deceit and by causing misunderstanding.
He is harvesting a great bounty.
