Agreed. Mods.? Do you find the debate about dispensationalism sufficiently compelling, or will my request as OP that the thread be closed because it’s been well and truly hijacked (which I’m making by way of this post) be honored?

ACK! You mean Saul, the AntiChrist? The one who when he couldn’t persecute (beat) them decided to run (join) them? The one that it is only alleged, and only by Saul that he was recruited by Jesus, and that only after Jesus’ death? Who subsequently delicately subverted the message of Jesus, misled the followers, spread misinformation to the new converts and consequently undermined Christianity to create a Jesus-worship cult rather than a movement of loving your fellow man? You mean _that_ Paul?

Barf! Might as well follow Satan!
